Glad to see your commitment!
What happens if neither of them post? Do you just extend the deadline?
ALL HAIL!
I will most certainly notify you!
"To the one that follows in my footsteps, I hope you did not make my mistake. I became greedy for power, and worked to overthrow Serise, who came before me. If you did make my mistake, I am now not very fond of you, since that means you killed me, and I'm going to haunt you.
"And to all those that come after I do, work to make our society of Stargazers the best it can be. We must strive to excel. I fear I will not see many more days, and if this is true, then I must live each day to its fullest. Do the same, for you never know when your tale may end.
"Every story has an ending. Make yours a satisfying one. Perhaps one day I, too, shall become just another nameless legend in this book. Maybe someday the youth of the future will see my words, and laugh and mock me as a senile old man. But until the day I become nameless, this is Chulane, signing off."
Marigold shuts the Tome of Stars with a loud thud, and sets down the pen she'd been using to write the translated passage. She gets up from her seat and leaves her room, walking out on onto the balcony. The wind was blowing fiercely, but she paid it no mind. She leans her head back to stare up at the night sky, glimmering with the same stars it always did. In this time of turmoil, of radical shifts in structure and safety, the sky always remained the same.
"Now what're you doing up?" Marigold whips her head around to see Duke walking to join her on the balcony, using his staff more like a cane. There was a time the man walked proudly, but today he seemed feeble and old. He stands by her side and looks up at the sky. "Beautiful, isn't it? Warms my heart to know that no matter what happens to us, the stars will never move. Even when this is all over, whether we win or lose, the sky won't change." A wry smile stretches across his thin lips. "I think it's about time I stepped down. Leading a nation is a young person's game, and one I'm far too old for at this point. Marigold, I have the utmost faith that you will lead us."
The girl nods solemnly, accepting the heavy responsibility that now weighed on her shoulders, and her shoulders alone. "You know what his final words were, Duke?" The old man turns his head to look at the leader beside him. "He said we should always strive to excel. And that, as our leader, I must work to make the Stargazer Society the best it can be." As tears stream down her cheeks, she raises her voice. "For too long, we've accepted the stars in the sky as unmoving objects, like some kind of uncaring deity we merely borrow strength from. I say no more. No more will we allow the stars and the constellations to passively stand idly by while we fight for our lives."
"When the sun sets on tomorrow, there will be only one nation to rule this land. But today, when we fight for victory or die trying, the sky will not merely be a spectator." Marigold rises her hand up high in a fist, and the sun begins to rise over the horizon, bathing the Red Giant in its warm glow. But the stars that dotted the night sky did not fade. If anything they shined brighter than ever before, defiant rebels in the sun's oppression.
"On this day, we shall move the stars themselves!!"
Whatever happens, it has been an absolute honor to make it this far with you @AxNoodle and @everyone else who participated.
Post appearing either today or tomorrow.
Happy to have you on!
Hope to see you participate in further seasons!
Ps. The things in my next faction have feathers.
We write the stories of other bands.
The Astrals led by Luna and Ren,
Starting the stars to align again.
The Drones of Gnash, the stolen from all.
Now stolen of you. They heed our call.
We finish off with your own Tale.
Aligning the stars that shall not fail.
For future people on this plane,
Our story is told over again.
We commemorate the war of soil.
The saga of
Colonisers of Turmoil.
*ALSO STANDING APPLAUSE BEFORE BACKPEDALLING INTO THE JUDGING CAVE*
This will be a hard to judge!
I'd like to apologize for disappearing way back then--school was getting into crunch mode and I unfortunately just didn't have the time.
Good luck to all!
No problem!
It might not be big and flashy, but it has a very neat hoo-hoo-ha-ha-esque effect that both I and @EnvyReaper were impressed by way back when. We still weren't very sure about this 'tale' mechanic, and this card proved its potential, and in no small part helped you get thus far.
This said, however the winner of the fourth season of COLONISERS is........
@Lujikul!!!!!!!!!!!
We will enjoy having you in the all-stars battle.
Everyone else, thanks a huge lot for participating, and we will hopefully see you in future seasons! For anyone interested, the new season will be going up in 48 HOURS to catch the traffic of people coming back from christmas.
I’m going simic! Expect the Chari to use the forest to their advantage. To victory!

Oh, bounteous squirrel! I believe all is said and done on this season right here. If you could see it fit to close this, please, I would be most grateful.
