The Eternal Dreamer: An Epic of Hope and Restoration

Elara stood beneath a fractured sky, her gaze fixed on the Shattered Spire—a monument to humanity's fall, jagged and foreboding against the horizon. The cataclysm had broken more than stone and sky; it had severed the connection to the Spirit, leaving the world in a shadow of despair. Yet within Elara burned a spark of defiance, a yearning to uncover the truth buried in the shards of history.

The elders spoke in reverent tones of a golden age before the Fall, when harmony reigned, and the Spirit flowed freely. But Elara, ever questioning, sensed a deeper narrative. Their nostalgia glossed over cracks that had always been there, seeds of discord that had grown unchecked. Among their tales, one thread stood out—a prophecy of the Eternal Dreamer, a savior who would restore balance and mend the fractured world.

Elara immersed herself in forgotten archives, deciphering cryptic verses and piecing together fragments of lost wisdom. She unearthed tales of Ze Li On, a luminary figure whose essence bridged light and renewal, and of the Rain—a celestial gift symbolizing cleansing and rebirth. But her relentless pursuit of knowledge drew the ire of the Keepers of the Faith.

Led by Kaelan, a cunning manipulator cloaked in piety, the Keepers branded Elara a heretic. To Kaelan, the prophecy was not a path to salvation but a tool to consolidate power, to bend the masses to his will. Determined to silence her, the Keepers drove Elara into exile.

In the hidden valleys beyond their reach, Elara found allies among the outcasts and dreamers. Jax, a battle-worn warrior with a heart tempered by loss, Lyra, a healer whose touch restored more than flesh, and Kai, a young scholar armed with ancient knowledge, became her steadfast companions. Together, they embarked on a treacherous journey to the Shattered Spire, the epicenter of the cataclysm and the key to unlocking the prophecy.

Their path was fraught with danger. They faced the relentless pursuit of the Keepers, braved landscapes twisted by corruption, and fought beasts born of the world's brokenness. Yet through every trial, Elara's belief in the Spirit's renewal never wavered. She saw the Rain not as a mere storm but as a divine essence capable of washing away despair and healing the world.

At last, they reached the Spire’s heart, a place heavy with the weight of forgotten power. Kaelan awaited them, his ambition fully realized. He had tapped into the Spire’s dark energy, twisting it to his will. The ensuing battle was a tempest of light and shadow, a clash between Kaelan’s greed-fueled darkness and Elara’s unyielding hope.

Kaelan’s might seemed insurmountable, but Elara, drawing strength from the prophecy and the unity of her companions, called upon the Spirit’s cry—a surge of radiant energy that shattered the Spire’s corruption. Kaelan, stripped of his power, fell into the void, his schemes undone.

With the battle won, the Rain descended. It was not mere water but a luminous torrent of renewal. The earth drank deeply of its essence, the skies healed, and the corruption melted away. A new dawn broke, soft and golden, as the land began to heal.

In the aftermath, the prophecy came to life. The eternal feast—an endless flow of wisdom and grace—spread across the land. The New Jerusalem rose, a beacon of harmony and light, where freedom and justice reigned. Humanity, once fractured, stood united in the Spirit's embrace.

Elara, the Eternal Dreamer, had fulfilled the ancient promise. She became a symbol of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest times, the light of truth and resilience could prevail. As the world awakened to its restoration, her name was etched into the annals of history—a testament to the power of dreams and the enduring spirit of those who dare to chase them.

Raphah - The Bright and Morning Star

[turtleblogatlast]

“Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)” from Steven Universe works so ridiculously well for Leo

[headfullofgalaxies]

To celebrate the start of the second chapter of Aurora, I made another entry in the "what if the void dragon was more void cat and the Ruunaser siblings adopt him" au.

If you've ever lived with a cat, you know the curse of eating cereal with milk for breakfast. I imagine cat!voidy would be even more of a nightmare to deal with, being the embodiment of consumption.

Aurora is made by @comicaurora, and I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't!

…McCoy has not noticed he’s eating dayglo orange grits, and Spock’s gone a bit green watching this.

Meanwhile Kirk’s just chugged his electric blue orange juice and is trying not to think about it too much.

A Comprehensive Timeline for NWAACO

This timeline will cover pretty much everything that’s happened in canon so far and absolutely will not line up with canon Grishaverse ages/age differences/birthdays. There shouldn’t be any spoilers for people who’ve read everything, but I’ll still put it under a cut just in case. Typical NWAACO warnings apply. Enjoy! 

35 ADD (After Dark Days): Per Haskell (District 6) wins the Hunger Games at age 18

37 ADD: Seeder Norris (District 11) wins the Hunger Games at age 18

42 ADD: Jarl Brum (District 2) wins the Hunger Games at age 18

July 47 ADD: Magnus Opjer (District 4) wins the Hunger Games at age 18

October 47 ADD: Zoya Nazyalensky is born 

April 49 ADD: Nikolai Lantsov is born 

There are only two times of year where Nikolai can be concieved and so only two possible birth months for him. I went with a July conception/April birthday because he felt like a spring baby

yes this means Nikolai is almost two years younger than Zoya when I think he is her age/maybe slightly older in Grishaverse canon. Look...it’s just not going to line up. Sorry

July 49 ADD: David Kostyk is born

But Erin, you say, David is the Victor of the 68th Games! He’d be 19 then, he would be too old!

To which I say--good catch! David’s birthday is actually in late July; as we’ll see in the David one shot, he turned 19 in the Arena. It was a very terrible birthday

March 50 ADD: Genya Safin is born

January 53 ADD: Leoni Hill is born

February 53 ADD: Jordie Rietveld is born

June 53 ADD: Alys Meijer is born

no, I didn’t intend for all the older sibling characters to be the same age but it ended out working out that way so I ran with it. It’s an intentional parallel now

July 53 ADD: Genna Pieters (District 6) wins the Hunger Games at age 17

55 ADD: Jan Van Eck becomes president, Aditi Hilli and Colm Fahey marry

yes, the age gap between Van Eck and Alys is really gross. Trust me, I know

January 56 ADD: Matthias Helvar is born

September 56 ADD: Nina Zenik is born

November 56 ADD: Kaz Brekker is born, Lara Rietveld dies

March 57 ADD: Hanne Brum is born

April 57 ADD: Jesper Fahey is born

June 57 ADD: Inej Ghafa is born

May 58 ADD: Wylan Van Eck is born

60 ADD: Paul and Alyssa Zenik die, Nina Zenik is left orphaned

May 63 ADD: Sara Helvar is born

July 64 ADD: Zoya Nazyalensky (District 8) wins the Hunger Games at age 16; Dominik Vertov (District 2) dies

March 66 ADD: Tomas Brekker dies

April 66 ADD: Marya Hendriks dies; Jordie Rietveld dies

I had to steal the idea from @oneofthewednesdays that Marya and Jordie ‘died’ around the same time 

March 67 ADD: Stefan and Katrin Helvar die; Matthias and Sara Helvar are orphaned 

July 67 ADD: Enobaria Robinson (District 2) wins the Games at age 18

July 68 ADD: David Kostyk (District 8) wins the Hunger Games at age 19; Aditi Hilli is executed

70 ADD: Nikolai Lantsov is recruited to the rebel movement

July 71 ADD: The events of One for Sorrow take place

July-December 72 ADD: The events of Bright Morning Stars take place

July 73 ADD: The events of Sometimes I Wish for Falling take place

July 74 ADD: The events of Gold Rush take place
