But the failures of those who tried before them overshadow their efforts, and raises the question of if they can even succeed where the others once failed? And with the encroaching corruption threatening to swallow them, they face not just Xornoth and his seemingly unending power, but the fear of losing themselves—and all their friends—to the darkness. Especially as they learn that the dangers lurking in the darkness are only one half of the fight, and that they're not just fighting the corruption but destiny itself. series: destiny averted

Coming Soon! Summary: When their empires are attacked and their friends brainwashed, it’s up to the Codfather Alliance to come together and deal with Xornoth, but trouble follows them, and to defeat the demon, they'll have to fight not just him, but the gods and fate.

“Well, why not?” Jimmy asks, his voice tiny as he cut her off. There’s still a bit of roughness to his words, his earlier capture still present in the rawness of his vocal cords, which left him barely able to talk louder than a whisper as he continues, “It’s safe here, right?”

Lizzie gives him a soft look, moving to pat Jimmy on the arm. “Of course it’s safe,” she replies, her own voice soft as she does so, “We just don’t have enough space—we don’t have enough food to last past tonight, only two people brought any sort of weapons, and all we have in the form of cloth is the clothes we’re wearing—we’ve got nothing to sustain ourselves long-term.” She pauses, tilting her head slightly, “Plus, like I said, we need to get rid of Xornoth, we need to help our friends.”

Jimmy scoffs but says nothing, instead turning his head to look towards the wall. Joel can hardly blame him; Gem and Sausage had been torturing him, it was only by the force of the three of them that they had managed to free him from their grasp, and even that was done with some misery involved for the rest of them. Joel can still feel the shot of darkness that had passed him when he was running from Gem—he wasn’t sure what her magic could do to him, but he didn’t really want to find out.

“You think we can do that?” Pix, who has been silent until now, finally looked up. His eyes are dark as they meet Lizzie’s with a look that Joel can’t exactly read—the man was one of Joel’s favorite people, but by the gods, was he annoying mysterious sometimes—but from the look that Lizzie gave back, he knew that she could.

Lizzie nodded her head, the movement rapid as she gains excitement. It’s obvious that she enjoys at least having one person on her side. “Of course we can,” she starts, a smile growing across her lips, “We’re the Cod Alliance, aren’t we?”
