Excerpt From Episode Episode 67 - Coming Tuesday!
After a lot of fun with the kids, ending with AFCK's delectable dinner, the Wondercolts were finally all back, together, at their Headquarters in Mishe. It still was a bit on the early side for most of their bedtime routines, but the next morning would bring a tough day with all Wondercolts hitting the Labyrinth.
Backbreaker had guild business to discuss, but she called the meeting in her room, not the guild hall. Astro was also asked to join them. The spearwoman didn't appear surprised, but Bladescape had been picking up on a suspicion that something big had happened in the Labyrinth, which was why they teleported out early. It was also the perfect time for them to let Astro know they had decided she was their choice for their third guild leader.
"Astro," Bladescape said, faltering. She suddenly felt like she was betraying Knightstar. She pushed through the feeling. "Backbreaker and I want you to join the guild's council as our third leader."
"Wait," Astro said. "This has nothing to do with the Labyrinth?"
"Not yet," Backbreaker said with a nod. "This business is first."
"You are not a replacement for Knightstar," Bladescape continued. "But we need a third. And when she comes back, we don't want her to have the extra pressure of leadership. We also want to give out real titles for the guild, and build more of a hierarchical structure. We are large enough."
"Barely," Astro nodded as she took a moment to think. "Bladescape is our commander, but probably not commander because it’s Heathcliff's title. Backbreaker is our Lead Tank. We need a better name for that. I would be the Strategist, a role I have been playing from the start. Knightstar was a Statistician. AFCK is our head chef. Diemond is our Armorer. What else?"
"Kiefer is a lieutenant officer sort of position," Bladescape added. "To lead a third party when we fragment our groups more."
"Good call," Astro said. "I think this will work. And I will take the position. But it has nothing to do with the voting. I am the one who submitted the blank piece of paper."
"We didn't look," Backbreaker stated. "We have been quietly eyeing you for the position for a little while."
"Good," Astro grinned. "That entire debacle is best forgotten. I'm not sure what Thunder was thinking, but I am glad Diemond stood up against her proposal. I wish she didn't put forth another candidate, but it was at least some resistance."
Intriguing
I agree with astro. The guild is barely big enough
This is all well and good, but when do we get Knightstar back? Doom has talked about a plan, but it was never executed.

It has been executed, but it is taking time for all the pieces to come together. It is a special and meaningful plan.
I will admit, when that was written, it was the same amount of time, but way less chapters, in between the two events.
