Two Years Later, the Stars Come Wandering Back

As foreshadowed in yesterday's post, today's chapter comes in "The Wandering Stars" : "Arbol Comes to Oswego"  I'm afraid this series will be a WdC exclusive, because there is no short path to connect it to the public Archives.

There's not a lot of background, except what can be read in the chapter immediately before. In this branch, Will has only one ousiarch -- Sulva -- and is considering which of the others he might add. To help him decide, he is being given visions of alternate worlds in which he had an additional ousiarch on a recently completed mission. To it's not going to be a story so much as a series of one-off short stories.

I had the idea for it a long time ago, but never wrote it. A reader commissioned me to continue, and I'm grateful for the opportunity and stimulus.
