This is the chapter 109 of The odds were never in my favour, See Venice and Die.

Its betaed version will be updated on all websites later this month.

Hope everyone will enjoy it. While the chapter technically doesn't end the Fourth Task Arc, it is the end of the escalation and violence...one could defeinitely call it the grand finale.

Venice won't be the same again...nor will be the world.

This chapter demanded a lot of research, preparations, and head-scratching. I am going to take two days of rest just to switch back to other stories and stop thinking about it...

Regarding the situation on TWO...I have received the corrected chapter from one beta out of two.

As such, I'm going to begin the preparations for 12-4. I think it's time for soon to everyone to return to a certain planet in the Eastern Fringe.

Bests,

God that was intense. I can only say kudos to your writing. I eagerly await the next chapters, how the world (muggle and magical) will react at the news that the Ennemy is there. And to be honest, I also want to see the consequence of the Archmage utter stupidity for the Light, and Dumbledore reaction. Have a great day !

Holy hell, Ra's stupidity is IMPRESSIVE in how bad it was for the world. At least we know that his soul is in the Morrigan's domain now, and she is not going to be happy. Still, the fact that the implication is that Alex is going to be reborn with her power in the future is interesting, going to be nice to see it. And Osiris realising the disaster Ra unleashed and taking steps...yeah, he's not a 'good guy' but respect. Ra on the other hand... And we are going to have to deal with the unleashed form of the Great Enemy, going to be interesting as we move on to the next arc, and Alex dealing with her inheritance (both from Alexander and what she picked up here).

Oh wow.... the end of what we thought to be the big bad is only the beginning of the disaster. Awesome....

Songy

Oh wow. I am speechless.

Fucking spectacular. There's a lot to be said about how everything unfolded but the descent into the conflict to Ra's death and his greatest mistakes was abhorrent and his execution was satisfying to witness. Yeah. Fucking spectacular.

B.T.W

This was one hell of a climax, and yet I'm slightly confused by the death of Ra. Literally in the paragraphs prior to his death, Alex was just talking about how she wasn't going to kill him but snap his slave bonds. And then she kills him afterwards. When they'd already had a conversation about how they couldn't kill Ra due to the Great Enermy seal on Osiros and at the time she killed him she didn't know that the purpose of the seal he held was defunct.

A new chapter arrived and what a glorious chapter it was. It saw the end of Ra and the return of an old foe, who was sealed away, because what can't be killed must be sealed away. And this chapter did let us see Osiris at his most heroic, walking into a short termed banishment, to buy everyone the time needed to have a chance at survival if not victory. In this chapter an era was ended, with the forced shattering of light chains at Alexandras hand and the disbandment of the greater unified dark by Osiris himself. And now that this chapter is over, questions as to the future arise. Sure, We all know the end of the story, but the way to get there is still occluded. what we know is the following: - There will be a ton of political fallout and a part of it will be centered around Alexandra - Alexandra is bound to become the apprentice of Morgaine and considering the rankings and the seemingly impending end of the Tournament even fulfilling the stated condition from chapter 60 Now to the part of what we don't know: - will Dumbles stand quietly in front of a judge or will people involve alexandra to get him either there or into a grave - what will happen to neville or more importantly henri? - will Alexandra join the Exchequer considering the impending Ragnarök? and what about her friends, will they get invites to the club?

That was quite a ride…. Was Ra always influenced by Apophis? If so, talk about a long life of futility. Ra creating a bigger mess and screwing his brother over is par for the course, if I can’t win, neither will you! With a brother like him, please don’t give me any more enemies. I am curious to see how the Champions turn out, if the changes in Fleur and Lucrezia are this profound, imagine how impressive some others are going to be! I bet there will be a lot of jockeying and rallying to the banners of the most powerful muggle or magical for the protection and political power offered by them. Loki help Lyudmila, she is not going to be pleased with new power pecking order (my theory is that with the other powers now no longer needing to be bound to the dark, she might get a power boost all her own when the others go their own way). Also, a slow clap for Osiris, bittersweet, but always willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of others… let’s hope we haven’t seen the last of him. But cheers, and thanks for all your hard work!

One thing didn’t the Morrigan say there would be rewards for killing the inheritors of the round tables legacy(I’m guessing army of light). Given all that she has done over the past week from possessed Leo, Alexander and fucking Ra I’m curious to see what might happen with death and her champion.

Red Bard

That thing is like some eldritch abomination! It must be bitter sweet for the Exchequer to finally have a win and it turns into this...

Thanks for the chapter! I wanted to offer a few comments. 1) I'm surprised you stuck to the stations of cannon with the big bad resurrected at the end of year 4. Given that I predict that the Dark Sun will last three years, Knight Priest offered 1, 3, or 7 canon says 3. On a literary note I think that the return of the Great Enemy was inadequately foreshadowed, it wasn't even hinted at until a few chapters back. 2) I think that Alexander's treasure is going to be a near term problem. Lyudmila is going to be free from her vow of cooperation soon and her claim to it is as strong as Alexandra's. I'm honestly surprised she didn't call Romonov elves to stake her claim to it when Alexandra called Zambini elves. 3) I hope that the effects of the disassembly of the Light and the Dark take a long time to be revealed. No one, including the Exchequer, ought to have a good idea of what is going to happen now. While many of the effects won't be subtle figuring out how things shake out among the powers should take years (assuming they don't take decades to shake out which they very well could). 4) The big question I have from this chapter and the thing the Exchequer should get on quick is where are the other three parts of the Enemy's soul? Given that there are seven parts, Ra and Osiris had one each and Ra created 5 light artifacts that were repeatedly marked as exceptional and we know two of those had parts of the Enemy's soul I am assuming the other three did as well. The Round Table is easy, it is still sitting in an Exchequer fortress. The remaining shards of Excalibur were last seen in the Queen's possession. I'm confident she still has them had strongly suspect that that soul fragment is still attached. The Spear of Annihilation was destroyed on Golgotha and its shards were made into the Ring which was just destroyed by being thrown into a volcano. So what happened to the soul fragment? I seriously doubt it was destroyed. Thanks for all your hard work. I'm looking forward to the politics, it is going to be a glorious mess!

Ra making a bigger mess out for everyone is par for course, that said I think it also might apply to the Eldritch horror too. Osiris must of had defensive set up to counter such blatant move and yes as much as I would love to argue Osiris's defensive would leave the fragments of the great enemy dead and broken, it is a Eldritch horror. That said the last move of Ra and the Great enemy feels rushed short sighted. Taking Osiris out and freeing his sealed piece is amazing, but that is lacking in the context of how they did it. Which is why I suspect the Eldritch horror now can die and including it's immortal soul and all. Cause to break the chains of darkness and make a connection to the very much still sealed immortal soul while dodging the wrath of the powers is impossible under current condition. As Osiris is the avatar of darkness. Further more magic/fate dark half is no way spent so I was not in the slightest shocked about the time stopper. Really I think the reason for the hard time crunch is to force humanity to work together. O and yes Ra ever thought of why you could enchain powers and what the cost could be?

That was quite the chapter, wow. Satisfying to see the consequences hitting Ra. I was a bit afraid when the Great Enemy first appeared, but glad to see this part isn't over yet with how much stuff there is to do yet too. Chains have been broken or released. The only thing that seemed a bit weird was something like Lucrezia being Champion of Desire, but Avatar of Water (and the mirror in Fleur)? Does this mean Desire is now tied to Water rather than Dark? ...Does this mean Fleur will now be less of a bitch? I've always liked the character in fanfiction. Really looking forward to the consequences of this chapter and what happened before it, with the non-magical world becoming aware.

It's kind of hard to tell, but assuming that the fanfiction.net word count is accurate, I think you just hit the length of the Harry Potter series in word count. That or the next chapter will do it if you are merely 'close'. Assuming you have 7 'books', you could hit a 2,000,000 word story considering books 5 and 7 were the largest. Or perhaps not, this is fanfiction for a reason. Either way, excellent job in hitting this milestone and getting this far!

Re-read the 1st chapters, looks like the queen had long term plans that she never shared with the king. Nicolas Flame must have thought it was the King's instead. Now with the king out of the way nothing going to stop the hate filled woman from putting them into action, while no longer having to follow King's plan.

Damon Fitzgerald

It wasn't exactly clear how many people saw that battle and if they saw all of it. But if it was widely shown and recorded that will have huge consequences. Will be really interesting to see the reactions and the political fallout.
