As night falls, Giroda's plans finally come to their fruition.


Tarnished Stardust

Chapter 3

It was dark by the time Wuyeda dismissed the other Paladins for the day, freeing him to fly down to the Temple of Wishes where the acolytes were lighting the lamps within. He flew past them without acknowledging them, only slowing when he reached the Temple's inner halls. Here, he could stop to breath, once he sensed the presence of his beloved in one of the rooms beyond.

He did not much like to be apart from Master Giroda save to do his duties as Captain of the Paladins.

A collection of moments from the life of the legendary Captain Kuroda...and his death.

Author's Note

This was my first attempt at writing a backstory for Kuroda, with an emphasis on trying to be canon compliant but, of course, the final twist is incompatible with canon.

Knight's Heart

Fans of Giroda crafted replicas of his iconic necklace, almost identical to the original. The sturdy cross stands as a symbol of a brave and noble heart, passed down through three generations of knights, untainted by the rust of time.

"Do you understand, Kuroda?"

In the gentle, constant light of the beam emitted by the Starlink Stone, Kuroda could only nod and bow his head. Words to answer his father came to him, but none made it past the growing tightening sensation in his throat.

"You'll make a great Paladin," his father continued, "Remember, always follow the Wishing One."

On her day off from work, Afubo gets a surprise visitor with a box full of things from the Temple of Wishes.

Of Clay and Wattles Made

The newly established broadcast station at the crown of the Grand Millewish Tree was playing cheerful music, blanketing the entirety of the Wishing Woods with a generally jovial mood. In her hanging treehouse in the residential area below on her day off from work, Afubo couldn't help but hum along as she dusted a row of trinkets on one of her shelves. She'd collected all sorts of oddities over her many lonely years, things like threads of purity that were the wrong colors at the ends, or a yellow glimmergrass flower she'd preserved in resin, or a jar of shrunken pollen puffs Durida had given her.

Were this just a month ago, she would have been annoyed to hear such happy songs drifting down from above, but today, she didn't mind it so much. She could even hear Yoyoda in the other room, tapping his hand against the frame of his bed in time with her humming, so it seemed she was not the only one who felt that way.

Yoyoda makes a suggestion to the Captain of the Paladins.

Daring

"Wait," ventures Yoyoda. "Maybe I could do a tour of the offices—to ease everyone's worries."

Halfway to the exit of the Temple of Wishes, Avicinda doesn't reply. Instead, the Captain of the Paladins continues to the door, flinging the curtain open.

"Wish Master Chigda is feeling very ill today," he says aloud to the Paladin keeping guard, "Perhaps a Bizarre Orb slipped through to him. Shall I pay a visit to the Wish Inspection Center?"

Yoyoda flinches. "Captain...that won't be necessary."

The curtain closes, and he's alone again with only his sketches of designs too sweet for himself.

After being given the role of Captain of the Paladins, Avicinda must reckon with the extent of his faith. What does he want most, from his god?

Chapter 3: Decay

"Make sure the door is properly covered," said Chigda. "I do not wish for us to be disturbed again."

Avicinda flew to the door as instructed, taking care to pull the curtains as tight together as possible where Siyabo had left them loosely closed. It was odd, wasn't it, how little he'd felt upon seeing Captain Siyabo again, despite all she had done for him after his father had departed? But she was the one who had refused to let him stay and train...

"Avicinda, come here."

Injured by the vine, Avicinda is taken to the Delicious Wish Clinic where he is left to recover. But what can he do when Captain Siyabo comes to take his purpose away?


Devotion

Chapter 2: Grace

There was a parrot singing on one of the rooftops below the clinic.

Avicinda listened to it from his cot. There was not much else he could do; Dr. Charlobo would only come and order him to lay back down and then grouse at him for disobeying her were he to try and fly away.

The doctors had thankfully hung up curtains around him for privacy. Injuries as extensive as his were no longer common, after all, so there had been no shortage of gawking when the Paladins brought him up to the clinic. No, most Faewish Sprites who would be injured this badly by an Esseling would have simply died.

They had also given him a quill and a pad of paper for him to occupy himself with, but every sketch had come out so horribly wrong, he'd torn them all up and thrown the pad through a gap in the curtain with all his frustration. His reward was someone yelping in pain, to which Avicinda couldn't help laughing—until Dr. Melibo came in to give him a scolding.

So now he did nothing but listen to the parrot and the buzzing chatter of other Faewish Sprites.

From his faith, to his eye, to his power, and to his future—all that Avicinda was...belonged to Chigda.

A collection of stories set largely in the same sort-of-alternate universe. This series is primarily centered on the relationships between various Paladins and Knights, namely Avicinda, Giroda, Chigda, and Kuroda but will also feature some original characters and a general Faewish Sprite ensemble cast.

Main Stories

The story of the Wishing Woods' Paladins and Knights—and the grand conspiracy—has always been intertwined with the legacies of Captain Kuroda, his lover Chigda, and the Millewish Sprite.

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3

In the highlands of the Wishing Woods due north of the Grand Millewish Tree, Avicinda and Giroda meet.

"Fate", unfortunately, would see them become enemies before their friendship can bloom into something else.

(And fate, you see, has a name—it would have you call it Lord Chigda.)

Chapter 1: Honesty

In a cavern in the highlands of the Wishing Woods due north of the Grand Millewish Tree, Giroda hovered by the carved doors that served as the only exit. He had only ever been outside once: the singular day after his awakening. He had spent that day learning to fly under the watchful gaze of his Uncle Babarada, taking joy in his newly grown limbs and the scent of the blooming Aurosa in the air around him. He often thought back to that day, replacing the dark walls of his prison with an imaginary bright blue sky and substituting the patter of water with the excited chatter of his fellow Faewish Sprites.

He shook his head; there was no time for such thinking right now. He kept himself as motionless as he could, ears perked against the slightest, miniscule gaps in the doors. By his careful count, the Paladins would be bringing him a Wishing Orb today, and Giroda knew he had to be ready as soon as the doors opened.

Several realizations had dawned on him a few days ago.
