It's Fanfic Challenge time again! Whee!
********
At the end of Fulfilments, just after Cal and Pell finally reunite and before Cal goes off to say goodbye to Panthera, Cal speculates on the ripple affect his encounter with Thiede might have had upon the world:
In that brief, eternal moment when I had become one with the life-forth of Wraeththu, the truth had been revealed to me. As Immanion had changed, so too would other places, touched by the fire of the Triad. Now there was a small, scruffy town in Thaine known as Fallsend, whose grubby streets would open out into wider avenues where hara could walk free. I wondered what would be the fate of Piristil and its kind. Would there be a place for them now? Was the force that strong? Somehow I doubted it. One thing I had learned was the utter need for light and dark, nothing can be wholly good, but if Piristil still thrived, then to complement it, there would be other houses; places of healing and learning. As Immanion could not be utterly light, Fallsend could not be utterly dark. From the mud would come other roads, and other travellers would follow them, bringing the warmth of wholeness with them from the south and west.
The Challenge:
Storm herself wonders exactly what does happen – to Fallsend, to Piristil, to Astarth. Twenty years after the events of Fulfilments, what are things like? Is Piristil still a ‘business’? Or does Astarth live there alone? Is the house haunted? Or is it now at peace? What do they think about Cal and the Gelaming? Write a story exploring the place and/or characters as they might have evolved over time.

Characters: Astarth and the Kanenes of Fallsend.
Spoilers: Cal's profession prior to being Tigron. (oh noes!)
