The Caraotha Chronicles

Albin and the Guardians

I’m Albin, and I’ll tell you the story of my first Omnicrast. It’s this ceremony where, as a teenager, my future was decided… in front of my family… teachers… and the entirety of the town of Caraotha. My job, friends, and well, the rest of my life was dictated by the form my guardian took.

Even looking back, I could never have expected what was going to happen. Within the first six months, I battled bullies, uncovered a deceitful plot, and blew up a lot of stuff.

I struggled physically and mentally with every aspect of my new life. I tried really hard but couldn’t fight off the doubting question… was my destiny just to be awful at this job forever?

And what could I do to save the town from the threat I had uncovered, before our society was destroyed?

Albin and the New Order

********** Spoiler Warning  ***** The below blurb contains spoilers for Albin and the Guardians ***************

I’m Albin, and a year ago I told you the story of my first Omnicrast. My whole future was dictated by the form of my guardian, in front of the entire town of Caraotha. But it turned out that the whole process was corrupt. After my friends and I uncovered an evil plot, battled to save the town and overthrew the council, we proved that guardians could take any form.

And I thought that was happily ever after.

But sadly, it wasn’t.

The new council don’t know what to do with the new guardians, and they don’t seem to care. It’s come down to me and Tobius to put things right. But in order to do so, we have to venture where I swore I’d never return. We have to go back to the wall.

I am reunited with my friends but not everyone is glad to see me. We fight monsters, we search for missing Owls, and we light a few things on fire.

But what could I do to prove to everyone that we had to do better, before we fell back into the ways that nearly destroyed us?
