Story number four! Woo-hoo!! 🥳This one should be around 41 chapters plus an epilogue and prologue. Posting schedule...ehh...I'm hoping daily, or at the least every other day...but we'll see. (Also would anyone like to be tagged for this story?) PROLOGUE My dear reader, you have been through many stories with the Wingfeather kingdom. There was a birth in my last chapter, of the new Throne Warden, Janner Wingfeather. It also brought a death, with the late Song Maiden Emerald Wingfeather. There is a new queen and a Throne Wardess. And, for the first time in generations, the Throne Warden has a child, and her name is Arthra. Much change has come, and it has all mostly been for good. But now a change is coming…a change that will bring nothing but pain and misery. There is no stopping this king…this war…oh my child, can you hear his name? It is a rumor on the hills of the Killridge mountains… Gnag….. Gnag…….. Gnag………… Sadly, we are getting closer to the Great War....I hope you like! Let me know if anything seems weird or wonky!

I tend to notice small easter eggs when reading, and here are the best ones I've found so far. I don't know if anyone else has found these, but . . . You remember how Kalmar used the name Fithyhoop in book 4 when he was commanding the Ridgerunners? If you look at the foot note at the bottom of page 179 of WFT, you find out where he got the name! Fithyhoop is a town in Skree, where Less-Than-Pithy Proverbs was published. I imagine that Kalmar had heard of it or maybe even been there at one point, and it just happend to be the first name that came to his mind. I wonder if there is something special about that place, something that would make someone like Kalmar remember it . . . The second one will change your view on Ouster Will forever. If you were to turn to page 37 in book 1 and look at the very bottom of the foot note there, you would read this: The legends were once contained in old books said to have been written by the Maker himself and given to Dwayne for safekeeping, but the old books - along with the Holoré, Will’s famous cream of hen soup recipe, and Yurgen's mountains - are lost. . . . Will's famous cream of hen soup recipe . . . Literally the creepiest guy in the whole story, and the villain behind it all . . . is a cook. And apparently a good one at that. I don't know why, but the image of Ouster Will standing over a stove, stirring a big pot of cream of hen soup, is just hilarious imo. Yeah, that's it for now. If one of you have something like this, share it in the comments! (P.S. sorry mods, I don't know really what category to put this in, since many books are mentioned) :(

Yep, I made more! Enjoy! Gracie: I'm going to start a band. Matt: What’s it called? Bats: Who’s in it? Rachel: What kind of music do you play? Pai: I call dibs on the triangle.   Pai: hands Bats a caffeinated soda Kay: swats it away No, sleep. Pai: hands Bats another caffeinated soda Kay: swats it away No, sleep. Bats sipping a third caffeinated soda: You two are adorable.   Bats: I have a bad feeling about this. Kay: What’s wrong? Bats: Seth and Fab just walked past carrying buckets labeled "DO NOT QUESTION THIS." Kay: … Bats: … Kay: We should probably question it.   Dani: If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Anaya: The power to instantly know what the HS are plotting. Matt: That’s not a superpower, that’s self-preservation.   After Seth put a mystery box in the hallway Bats wailing: You can’t just put “mystery” on a box and leave it in the hallway. Seth: Technically, I can. Anaya: …Should we open it? Wren: Or run away? Dani: I vote we poke it with a stick and see if it explodes. Ellie: That’s how TTH attacks start. Kay: Or friendship. Depends on the stick. Banana: I have a stick. And a backup stick. Trisper: Why do you have backup sticks? Banana: For backup emergencies. Charlotte: If this box explodes, I’m blaming all of you. Wren: If it explodes, we’ll have bigger problems than blame. Clark: So... open it? Kay: Or we could just set it on fire and walk away. Matt: That’s not problem solving, that’s arson. Fab: glares     Wren: I’m 90% sure this will work. Ellie M.: And the other 10%? Wren: That’s where the screaming starts.   Anaya: I made tea. Lili: Great! Anaya: I was tired. It’s just hot Dr. Pepper. Lili horrified: I’m calling 9-1-1.   Fab: I’m not saying I’m a genius. Gracie: Good, because you just tried to charge your phone in a totato.   Ellie M.: I’ve made a list of things we’re not allowed to do. Fab: Is “don’t threaten the sun” on it? Ellie M.: It is now.   Seth: I’m not saying I caused the power outage. Matt: But? Seth: I did microwave a fork.   Bats: I’m going to run away and live in the woods. Kay: You cried when your Wi-Fi went out for 10 minutes. Bats glares: I was taking an online class!   Ellie: Seth, I promise, if I see you holding TNT one more time— Seth: Then you’ll see me holding TNT one more time.   Seth: I have an idea. Matt: That’s never good. Rachel: I support the idea no matter what it is. Wren: Does it involve fire? Seth: Indirectly. Fab: Does it involve annoyance? Seth: Directly. Spags: Does it involve explosives? Seth: Always. Matt: …We are doomed.   Char: If Bats and Seth ever teamed up, what do you think would happen? Ellie M.: An unstoppable glitter-and-explosives nightmare. Anaya: Truly terrifying.   Ellie W.: Banana, why do you look so excited? Banana: Because Bats is about to introduce another cat to the group and Wren is going to lose her mind. Wren: I am RIGHT HERE!   Seth: If I ever go missing, just play really annoying noises on loop. I’ll come running. Anaya: That’s ridiculous. Seth: Are you saying it wouldn’t work? Anaya: …No, I’m saying it would work too well.   Seth: I just had an idea. Lili: Oh no. Seth: No, hear me out—what if we made explosive chicken feed? Fab: I support this. Ellie W.: I absolutely do not. Rachel: I do, though.   Andrea: I left instructions for everyone while I'm gone. Fab: Mine just says ‘Fab, no'. Andrea: I want you to apply it to every possible situation.   Banana: Alright, group bonding question! What are some things people often say to you? Fab: ‘Fab, no’ Bats: ‘Go to sleep’ Kay: ‘Are you okay?’ Wren: ‘Your medical record is outrageous’, even when said person is twisting her ankle all the time! Bats: …Banana, next question   Fab: I have mastered the art of being the most annoying person alive. Marki: I don’t think that’s something to be proud of. Fab: That’s exactly what someone who hasn’t mastered it would say.   Ellie M.: Alright, here’s the deal. No explosions, no unnecessary fires, no drinking any weird substances, no taking bounds— Bats: But what if— Ellie M.: No "but what if"! If it involves setting something on fire or blowing something up, it is off-limits! Seth: visibly sweating while holding a lit stick of TNT Define "off-limits."   Seth: bursts into the room dramatically FAB! Fab: equally dramatic SETH! Lili: calmly sipping tea Would you two care to explain why there’s smoke coming from outside? Rachel: casually walking in The good news is, we figured out what happens when you mix the World Ender bomb with fireworks.   Arthra: If I catch anyone trying to set something on fire today, I will personally confiscate all your flamethrowers. Fab: gasp You wouldn’t. Arthra: Watch me. Fab: clutches flamethrower That’s cruel and unusual punishment.   Matt: We need a game plan. Anaya: Agreed. Seth: Disagreed. Matt: …Seth, you haven’t even heard the plan. Seth: Plans imply order. I propose chaos. Fab: nods approvingly Wren: nods approvingly Rachel: already setting fire to something Bats: …this is why we don’t get anything done.     Lili, slightly concerned: When was the last time you had rest? Bats, holding her 6th cup of coffee: No.   Wren: Hey, Char... Could you come over? Wren: I mean it's completely fine if you can't and you’re busy and things, because it's not a big deal. Wren: ... Wren: But the stove may be ever so slightly on fire.   Bats: Name ONE thing better than a cat! Wren, not looking up from her book: Two cats. Bats: GASPS* YOU'RE RIGHT!!   Seth: Well, it looks like it's time to move onto plan 2. Trisper: Wouldn't that be plan B? Seth: That would mean I only have twenty-six plans.   there's a fire Pai: Quick! Call 9-1-1! Banana: The '9' button isn't working! Pai: Just flip the phone over and use the '6' button! Banana: Genius! Kay, trying to put out the fire: What?   Trisper, driving Ellie W.’s car Trisper: Well, your airbags sure work. Ellie W.: Great! Ellie W.: Wait-how do you know that?!   In a jail cell* Seth: The risk I took was calculated! Bats, Lili, Kay, and Ellie M.: HOW?! Seth: I'M BAD AT MATH! Meanwhile, Matt: I'm here to pick up my friends. Police officer: Who are your friends? Matt: You must be new here.   Fab: Are you implying I occasionally stray from the rule book? Gracie: I'm implying that you do not have a rule book, and if you do you most certainly have never opened it!
