So here's what I had planned for the rest of this story, as well as for the sequel.
I actually have difficulty remembering where I left off. I believe Keane and Straton were going to go back to the village, if they hadn't already. The kim-un-kur boy who's name I can't remember was going to fight with Keane and they would be forced to leave. But then they would make it across the mountains after probably a bit more difficulty and finally end up in Asteria. And that was the planned end for this story.
In the planned sequel, they would eventually meet up with Cooro and gang after a bit of traveling around. Straton was going to end up in contact with their group first, but only while Husky wasn't there. Eventually they would all meet and there would have been drama and Husky would probably deny knowing them or probably not even realize who they were at first because of a lot of changes, after all. I wish I could give more detail about how this would all go down, but just imagine a lot of conflict and shock and Husky probably being needlessly melodramatic.
But things would eventually settle down, and go okay for a while. At this point in canon, the four kids had not yet met up with Fly. this would poise a problem when they did, especially when they met Lyra, for Straton in particular. Being the only 'normal' one, he felt not so normal at all. But here was a chance to change that. So not only would they have to deal with Cooro, but after all of them deciding not to give up their animas, Straton would go and get one. A little yellow canary anima if I remember correctly. Husky and Nana and Senri would get angry with him, but Keane would be very protective as he has been and it would be a major source of tension, even after they save Cooro and he gets his anima back.
I didn't have anything planned after that. I am just horrible with endings, so I'm sure that's probably where the ending should have gone. Just imagine a happy ending. Because I like happy endings.
This story, as well as Dreams of Yesterday and Puppet Strings, is not up for adoption. (DoY because that is much too close to my heart for me to trust anyone with, the same with this one, and PS because of the chance that I may actually come back to it one day, as well as the fact that Kay Hau was co-author and she has rights to it before anyone else). If you would like to adopt any of my others stories though, or anything in my 'potential stories' section on my profile, just shoot me a message and we can probably work something out.
