Here is the next chapter of The odds were never in my favour, The Carnival Laws.

Sorry for the delay, everyone, it took...err...a lot more days than I thought before writing the chapter.

The reasons include:

An impressive Ukrainian offensive I'm busy cheering a lot of hours per day

Very destructive thunderstorms which meant that for several days, it was not really safe to use something like a computer

Difficulties to find inspiration and exhaustion from the last WO chapter

Reading the latest Siege of Terra book, Echoes of Eternity.

And a few more reasons besides that.

Anyway, the chapter is here and will be published later this month.

I intend to work either on the Dance is not Over or an Impractical Guide to Godhood next. I haven't yet decided which will be the focus of my writing efforts.

Bests,

Nice to see a update. I hope you choose to work on impractical guide to godhood then after more Weaver Option that cliff hanger is large.

I hope Godhood will be next let the God's have the Hero they deserve

Yeee !!! I was really waiting to the task, and with each chapter I became more anxious for what is going to happen.

Ok prediction: Alex and the Night Court will bait the other courts into a war with each other before either can think about attacking the Night Court. Then rush for the keys and fortify until the ritual is complete. That point is also where I expect it all to go horribly wrong

For the next chapter godhood is the clear winner. It is obvious to everybody percy would guarantee his place and that place is first! But regarding the chapter I really really can't see how the other courts even begin to hope to fight much less win against the Night court. Sure they have extra guards and warlocks but how do they think they are gonna overwhelm the champions? I can see Krum and the others falling but the first three? The only way chaos is gonna fall is if it is part of the plan while the sucubbus is to willy to be easily caged. Meanwhile Alex as one hell of an advantage since she can simply jump in any of the cannals for easy escapes and surprise visits. Does the day or doge court have anybody who can actually contest Alex in the water ?

Thanks for the chapter. There was something in the first scene I found very interesting and am hoping that you will clarify. When Eleanora agreed to support the Exchequer's goals for the fourth task she thought of the restrictions on her as a Champion of Vesta. One of them might have been (I found the exact wording unclear), "to make this world better." Does the fact that Vesta didn't object to Eleanora's decision indicate that Vesta considers helping to end the Statute and the transform Venice into the anchor of a new age of magic constitutes acting "to make this world better?" If so that seems a very big deal since it means at least one Light power supports a major goal of the Exchequer.

Be sure to take care of yourself and take as much time as you need. Your health and wellbeing, mental and physical, take priority. Very interesting to learn what kind of restrictions Eleonora is under as a Champion of Innocence. I'm sure some idiots (Falk) assume this means that they can act however they want towards her without fear of retaliation. Hopefully she gets a chance to show them just how wrong they were. The Night Court definitely has some severe handicaps. Alexandra is right: quality is going to be one of their best weapons in the upcoming tasks. One of Alexandra's biggest strengths is that she's very aware of her weaknesses and does her best to fix or minimize them. And while Alexandra might feel like she's herding cats, I'm quite certain that the other Courts and their Kings are either just as bad or worse. Thanks for another very good chapter. I'm looking forward to the recruitment of the Courts, and who will be chosen for all the roles.

In second was the Day Court: Longbottom would lead it, and his Champions were Frode Falk, Cedric Diggory, Henri de Condé, Lucas Gauthier and Graham Montague. Third and last – but not least – her Court was presented: she was the Queen, and Viktor Krum, Ambre de Courtois, Eleonora da Riva, Lucrezia Sforza, and Lyudmila Romanov were the Champions with her. Reading this section, isn't Longbottom missing someone in his list? The Day Court should have 7 and the Night Court 6, no?

You’re right, Poe. The Day Court listing is missing Giovanni Ruspoli.

The deeper we dive, the more we start to discover the preconditions for different champions (or at least for the ones who matter most). If the power for champions of fate works how I think, then it’s no wonder the Exchequer believes they can remove him from the board-especially since the Ra has forgotten or no longer cares about the limiters the powers place on their champions (why would he, he’s been comfortable rewriting reality often enough). It’ll be nice to see some of the friends/Allies that orbit around the different champions, but it kind of makes me feel bad for Neville. He feels the most like a kid playing politics than some of the others. A kid who squandered a lot of goodwill early on in his Hogwarts career unnecessarily -especially considering he always knew he was going into politics as an adult… and thinking of all the favors that Alexandra has been collecting over that same period of time it almost makes me want to grab Neville and hide him away somewhere for his own safety. But it explains why Dumbledore likes Gryffindors the best, pure power politics. Forgive and forget the things I’ve done to you as “boy having fun with my school mates” or I accuse you of having Death Eater sympathies because that’s the only reason you’d disagree with me (insert eye roll). Watching Alexandra have to herd Lyudmila and Lucrezia like cats is going to be fun, if she doesn’t need a headache potion every night to deal with the stress I’ll be surprised. I’m wondering how many bodies are going to be dropped into the canals of Venice? Too many champions sounded dismayed by the rules for most of them not to have been considering getting rid of a few “problems” in a most expeditious fashion. Because we have an unholy union between Death and Chaos right now, I don’t see them not using whatever workarounds they can, especially since they both mostly stand alone, to try thinning the ranks of some of their more annoyingly persistent enemies.

I really hope Percy goes with the plan I had of finding a way to make His sisters curse into were curse. Seeing as that He will have access to The greatest magic users in transformation magics a Titaness of the Seas, and others While it would piss off Zeus he'd have to be able to prove it was Percy and thankfully with all the s*** going down in the sea he could very easily push off blame to other people. And the benefits of "freeing" one of the greatest generals of Atlantis far out way any problems Big head could give him Seeing as that hes already going to piss him off. The amount of favors and goodwill he'd buy from Atlantis, his father, and other Siblings possibly his stepmother, hell it would probably buy good will with Tethys for putting Charybdis back on the Board would again far out way an more heat that he has from Zeus seeing as it basically at maximum already

I do wonder what The Queen of Blades will think about taylors dealings with the C'Tan
