Anyway, the libraries of Silvermoon, I studied there for thirty whole years to be given the chance to become a scholar, like my father before me, but no, no, no, now we are here, Booty Bay and I have to spend my hours catering to sweaty, undersized little Orclings and cheap ladies of the moonlight, mother tells me that she grew up here. I don’t care.
Old Gerald Rustmuffin it s been said that he once escaped the clutches of an Orca using only his false teeth, a string off his mistress s knickers and a fake cows udder. I see them every day lugging large crates on and off their ships and I envy that life, that scurvy ridden life, I see mother staring out towards them longingly, I hate that she is home and I am not.

Special thanks to the people who read this story! Which is… admittedly, not that many. But for those of you that did make it, thanks for being here at the end!
Anyway, technically Fortune’s Fate is complete. I do have ideas for what to do if I continue it, but it’s not required—I did only intend to continue if it did decently well, and so far it hasn’t. If you want to see more Fortune’s Fate, let me know! Tell other people about it and spread the word! I could write a “season 2” if I think it’s worth it.
Don’t worry, though, the big questions of the setting will be answered in other stories. As some of my readers have already noticed, there are a few unusual threads connecting Fortune’s Fate and Wizard Space Program together…
Speaking of Wizard Space Program, you should read it! (https://gmsteward.wordpress.com/2021/06/02/wizard-space-program/) That story is ongoing and, unlike Fortune’s Fate, is set to continue for a long time. Come with me and learn about how to use magic to solve hard sci-fi space travel, and maybe learn a bit more about some deeper questions.
I am also currently looking for pre-readers willing to take a look at a Final Fantasy-based story that attempts to synthesize the settings of the main games together. I’ve written over forty chapters at this point, but I need more feedback. If you’re interested, drop by the Discord Server. (https://discord.com/invite/eTuseTh)
Until next time!
“So this is your room?” Coleus asked as she walked into the small enclosure.
“Yep!” Amaris said, flopping on her bed. “Home sweet home.”
“I was expecting something a little more…”
“Interesting?” Amaris giggled. “I wasn’t interesting when I was in this room! I’ve got to bring the interesting to it, now!” She pointed at the pile of notebooks in the corner. “I’ve been going over my notes and writing more detailed entries on all the things I encountered. If I want to do some good, it’ll help to inform other people about, well, how to deal with all these things.”
Coleus picked up a notebook that had been recently written in. “Entry 001; Freddloi…” She put it down. “You’re making one for everything?”
“I’m going to try, anyway. And for anything new I encounter! Then I’ll see if I can classify any of them together, find any common threads…”
“You’ll need a lot more than yourself to do this.” Coleus grinned. “Good thing you’ve got some friends that want to help!”
“All of you get entries too, by the way.”
Coleus paused. “You’re going to per-fern an examination of me?”
“Coleus, that was terrible.”
“I think you mean punishing.”
Until next time!
