As the star festival began and the lights of the sky fell upon the bright, joyous Mushroom Kingdom, Mario gleefully jumped his way to the castle. Toads were everywhere on the road to the Princess's castle, either catching the glowing bits of space or watching the bright heavens rain down on the kingdom paths. It was an unusually bright night, and the young hero was excited to see all that the Princess had done in the famed pink castle. As the bright abyss of space showed its secrets once more this hundredth year in the Princess's kingdom, all was in light and joy on the Earth. In the comet of the skies, lumas floated about the grounds of the Observatory, jumping and squealing and glowing around the domes. The Mother of the Lumas watched them in reserved excitement.They were always the light of her heart, even through the darkness of space. But there was something she looked toward that had brought unusual happiness to her life. She, finally, was going home. If you like this story, you can thank @GalacticShiro @NintendoNatalie @awzumnez and @pinkandpeachy for convincing me that I am a Mario fan. These guys are profound. Their works show that they are true fans, and here on Wattpad, they are leaders of the entire fandom. So, thanks to them for this story. (And the actual game:) Hope you enjoy, thanks for reading, and "May the stars shine down on you."

Champion Touko is missing, but the world doesn't know it. Rosa desired her freedom, not a manhunt for a woman she's never known. But fate is a harsh mistress. At eighteen years old, Rosa is more than ready to begin her Pokémon journey and escape the hometown she's grown to loathe. Her plan to beat the league and travel the world seems simple enough, but when she learns the former Unova champion Touko mysteriously vanished two years previously, she's pulled into sinister plans and ancient secrets. Confused by their connection but determined to save both Touko and herself, Rosa sets out to rid the Unova region of Team Plasma's control once and for all. *Beautiful cover by @RedPandaWorld

{Book 3 in the Journey of Faith series} I never thought I would leave Christianity, and yet, here I am. These are my reasons why. Join the author of "Christian and an Ally" and "Thoughts of a Doubting Christian" on her newest journey, explaining why she deconverted from Christianity and no longer believes. Readers of all religious beliefs (or lack thereof) are welcomed with open arms. As always, peaceful debates are encouraged, but hate speech and overt hostility will be deleted.
