    Summary

    Seventy five years have passed since the War of the Ember. From the shadows of the Pure Ones' destruction, a new totalitarian regime took the Southern Kingdoms by storm, installing itself as their 'protectors' - a regime known as the Free Kingdom of Ambala. The future seems grim, with the Guardians of Ga'Hoole sizzling away to become mere footnotes in history against this threat.
    But the ruthless leader of this kingdom, Tarolyn Straux, after years of ruling with an iron talon, is growing old. Now, the future of Ambala - and the Southern Kingdoms as they see fit - lay on the hatching of a single owl. One that would be born in a solar eclipse, and be ready to rule this kingdom spanning the southern hemisphere without hesitation to enforce total control.

    The name of this owl would be Asalyn Straux.

    The book cover for this story, present in the first chapter, was drawn by Bubopeli!

    Summary

    Years after the Battle of the Short Light and Long Night, Theo struggles to grapple with his role in the development of the owl world. His finest —or in his eyes most despicable— creation is abundant throughout the kingdoms, every owl wants a pair of battle claws. As a gizzard resister, how is he to live with the weight of thousands of deaths on his shoulders?

    As it often goes, yet another owl ends up wounded by his creation. But this time, things end up a going a bit differently than he would have ever expected when he comes up with a brilliant project, putting his skills to good use.

    (This fic is a lengthened adaptation of the short story revolving around Theo and Ivar in ''A Guide Book to the Great Tree.'' Reading of the short story is not required in order to read and understand this fic, but encouraged. Spoilers for the Legends Trilogy, obviously.)

    Summary

    Taking place in the Guardians of Ga’hoole universe many years after the War of the Ember, a colony of hagsfiends was able to emerge. The division of the McNamara clan destroyed what the Guardians thought to be the only supply of hagsfiend eggs, but those turned out to only be the eggs that were most ready to hatch. Other younger eggs were transferred by Dragon Owls to small caves throughout the Northern Kingdoms, and some time after Nyra’s death, they were hatched in secret. Without a leader, the Dragon Owls tried to raise the hagsfiends on their own, but were soon turned against and slain by their own hatchlings, as they were weak and inexperienced with any fighting. The hagsfiends soon created a society of their own in a small forest between the Ice Narrows and the Beaks.
    Now, a new hatchling is about to be born, the son of a pair of despicable hagsfiends, but he has a difficult time proving his worth.
