All spoilers pertaining to Stargazer will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned.No stars in sight is a crossover fanfic between Destiny and Inheritance Cycle by Keltoi. It is the fourth entry in the Sagittarius series and is a rewrite of the fanfic Stargazer. This fic takes place after Season of the Haunted and heavily incorporates story elements introduced in Year 5 of Destiny 2. The first two chapters were posted on September 15, 2022.Several years ago, the famous Warlock Ikharos Torstil was banished from the Last City after a member of his fireteam was permanently killed during an unsanctioned raid he led on the Dreaming City. However, in the wake of Rhulk's demise, the Locus of Communion escapes the Glykon Volatus at the behest of the Witness. To combat this threat, the Vanguard reinstates Ikharos as a Guardian and places him in command of an Imperial Cabal task force assigned to eliminate the Locus once and for all. Embarking on the Cabal frigate Rancis Olytus, Ikharos pursues his quarry outside the Sol System. Along the way, he is joined by the ever enigmatic Exo Stranger, a.k.a Elisabeth "Elsie" Bray, who seems to know a lot more about the situation than she's letting on.Acting on a tip he received from the Stranger, Ikharos sets a course for the Kepler-186 star system in hopes of cutting the Locus off at his intended destination. Upon reaching Kepler, the crew of the Rancis Olytus discover that the exoplanet Kepler-186f has disappeared, and in its place is a gravitational anomaly of Darkness. In the anomaly's orbit, they find a derelict Exodus-class Colony Ship from humanity's Golden Age, which Ikharos takes a search team to investigate. Things quickly go wrong as the boarding party comes under attack by mysterious robots while the Rancis Olytus is ambushed by a Scorn fleet commanded by the Locus himself. In the ensuing chaos, Ikharos and the Stranger are left behind on the Exodus as both the colony ship and the Rancis Olytus are pushed into the anomaly.Meanwhile, Formora Láerdhon, a former elven Dragon Rider and a surviving member of the Forsworn, has been living in a Self-Imposed Exile on the abandoned island of Vroengard for almost forty years — unwilling to return to Alagaësia in fear of being killed by her former master Galbatorix. Her only companions during her exile have been a fellow Forsworn deserter named Enduriel (whom she barely gets along with) and the Eldunarí of the dragon Agaravel (who was driven half-insane after Formora murdered her rider). One morning, her hermitic life is upended by the sight of strange, burning shapes falling from the sky. Though initially fearful, after some prodding by her more curious companions, she goes to investigate the crash site...The story can be read on SpaceBattles.com, Archive of Our Own, and FanFiction.Net.

Acceptable Breaks from Canon: The author began writing this fic right at the same time that Season of Plunder was going on, which revealed details about the main villain Nezarec that contradict this story. Namely the fact that Nezarec was a Disciple of the Witness who was killed during the Collapse, and his remains being placed into relics by the Eliksni and becoming the focus of SoP. In this fic, Nezarec is still alive and seems to be fighting against the Witness's Disciples.

We aren't shown exactly how Ikharos killed the Nïdhwal in Chapter 5. The scene ends with him charging into the sea monster's jaws with his glaive, then cuts to the aftermath where a blood-soaked Ikharos is dragging the Nïdhwal's massive corpse onto land where he is greeted with cheering Cabal soldiers.

Madness Mantra: The Scorn Raider that chases Formora and Enduriel into the storage room of the Shadow Trespass has only one thought in its mind that it repeats over and over. That same Raider also keeps saying some variation of "kill" as it claws at the locker containing a Hive Ghost.

Finally, there is a third unseen entity that repels the skull with a silver spear before it can attack the Exodus ship. This being then manifests a golden scythe that it uses to tear open a portal to Kepler-186f, allowing every ship that got trapped in the anomaly to return to realspace.

Hero Antagonist: Cuaroc has been ruthlessly hunting Formora across Vroengard for decades, but only because he is under the mistaken impression that she still works for Galbatorix. Likewise, he is hostile to Ikharos during their first encounter because the latter had been found investigating the entrance to the Vault of Souls, which Cuaroc is supposed to defend with his life from any trespassers.

The Exile
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_1b8c7503
comment
The Exile: Averted. Unlike in Stargazer, Ikharos's exile has already been rescinded by the Vanguard at the start of the story. It probably helps that the people who originally voted to exile Ikharos were the three Faction leaders. Given this story takes place in a post-Season of the Splicer setting, that would mean Lakshmi-2 had been killed by the Vex during her attempt to overthrow the Vanguard while Jalaal and Hideo fled the Last City to escape facing justice for siding with her failed coup. After this, there was probably no one left in the Consensus who was willing to stop the Vanguard from lifting Ikharos's banishment and welcoming him back as a Guardian.

Wrong Context Magic
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_1b9df446
comment
Wrong Context Magic: A fundamental law of the magic system in Inheritance Cycle is that no one can come Back from the Dead because the soul dies with the body.note The only confirmed exception to this rule are dragons, who each have a Gem Heart called an Eldunarí that functions as their Soul Jar. Even then, they still need this body part intact to endure, and a dragon can't be physically restored from their Eldunarí once their body has died. The Scorn casually flaunt this rule with their very existence, being Eliksni who've died and then had their corpses reanimated through the use of Dark Ether. They can also continually resurrect themselves anytime they're killed with certain individuals like the Scorned Barons even keeping their memories of their past lives. For Formora, witnessing a Raider that she just decapitated suddenly get back up was a reality-shattering experience. The Scorn's method of Resurrective Immortality also works differently from that of Shades. With Shades, it at least takes some time for them to rematerialize after being destroyed and they can still be permanently killed by being stabbed through the heart. With Scorn, it takes less than a minute for them to self-revive and they don't have any body parts that can be exploited as an Achilles' Heel. Also, Shades are living people possessed by evil spirits rather than actual zombies like the Scorn.

Fictional Document: The first chapter consists entirely of in-universe intelligence reports by the Hidden and Cabal that serve as a source of exposition and worldbuilding for the reader. The chapter also ends by showing the contents of a message that Ikharos sent to Jaxson just before he left on his mission.

I Need a Freaking Drink: Ikharos decides he definitely needs a drink when he finds the Exo Stranger aboard his jumpship and has no idea how she was able to teleport aboard. In chapter 8, Formora turns out to have been spending the entire day drinking wine in an abandoned villa to cope with all the reality-shattering stuff that's been going on around her ever since Ikharos came to Vroengard.

Adaptational Villainy
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: In Stargazer, Scipio was basically an expy of Rasputin, being a Warmind of questionable morality who is programmed to ensure the survival of the human race at all costs. While he did come across as uncaring and aloof, he was ultimately on the heroes' side and fought against Nezarec's Strife Cult. Here, Scipio openly serves Nezarec and turned on the original human colonists. This gets downplayed since Chapter 12's interlude makes it clear that Nezarec's followers swayed Scipio to their side by singing some sort of Brown Note that altered his programming.

Adaptation Expansion: In Stargazer, Ikharos sent a message to Jaxson before he left for the Kepler-186 system, though the contents of the message are never shown. Here, the reader actually gets to find out what Ikharos wrote to Jaxson before departing the Sol System. The story also dives a lot deeper into Formora's relationship with Enduriel and what her Self-Imposed Exile on Vroengard was like before Ikharos arrived, both of which are quickly glossed over in Stargazer. This fic really stretches out the time that Ikharos spends exploring Vroengard as opposed to the original version where the story treated Vroengard like a prolonged pit stop.

Adaptation Deviation

comment
Adaptation Deviation: From the very outset, this story deviates heavily from its parent fic Stargazer. The Exo Stranger is one of the main characters in this story and accompanies Ikharos to Kepler-186f despite having nothing to do with the plot of the original fic. Ikharos's jumpship is the Shadow Trespass when it was a modified Awoken Galliot in the original version. In the original fanfic, Ikharos would have his dreams invaded by Dûl Incaru every three weeks as part of a curse he contracted during his time in the Dreaming City. Here, the curse instead causes Ikharos to be haunted by her Nightmare 24/7. In the original version, Ikharos came to the Kepler-186 system alone using a modified jumpship in search of a long-lost Golden Age Colony Ship. Here, he comes to Kepler-186 aboard an Imperial Cabal warship as part of a Vanguard-Cabal coalition force sent by Caiatl to hunt down the Locus of Communion after it fled the Sol System. When Ikharos first discovered Kepler-186f in Stargazer, the planet seemed fairly normal and Earth-like with the exception of its orbiting Warsat defense network. Here, Ikharos and his Cabal allies find the planet completely encased by Negative Space Wedgie. The original fic had the colony ship Exodus Prime be located at the bottom of one of Alagaësia's oceans where it was used as an Underwater Base by a Warmind named Scipio. Here, Ikharos and the Cabal find the Exodus ship floating in orbit of Kepler-186f, totally derelict and missing its cargo pods. When they board the vessel to investigate, the only lifeforms they find are hostile Exos and Frames. In the original version, Formora and Enduriel were the only ones found on Vroengard when Ikharos arrived there. Here, the duo share the island with a hostile Cuaroc that spends every night hunting them. There's also a Disciple named Zendolyn-Far who lives on the island. Formora also has Agaravel's Eldunarí in her possession at the start of the story when she didn't have it in the original version. She also has somehow gotten her hands on a dragon egg, something that she definitely didn't have in Stargazer.

Mythology Gag: The Dark Harmony from Stargazer are alluded to in chapter 2 when Indilic mentions how the sector that Kepler-186 was located in was rife with "silvered corsairs", which the Cabal Empire couldn't be bothered to deal with due to the Hive threat pounding on their doorstep. Ikharos ordering his Cabal allies to ram the Rancis Olytus into a Scorn Ketch while they are in the orbit of Kepler-186f mirrors a scene from Stargazer where Primus Da'aurc had his legion's flagship ram a Fallen Ketch during the battle between the Cabal and the House of Scar above the same planet. While inside the anomaly, Ikharos sees a tall, silver spear like the ones used by the Harmony in Stargazer. Formora and Enduriel being stalked throughout Vroengard by Cuaroc is a nod to Stargazer, where Uren explained to Ikharos that Formora's original fate was to be killed by Cuaroc at the Rock of Kuthian after being hunted through the ruins of Doru Areaba (the city on Vroengard that used to serve as the Dragon Riders' headquarters). One of the weapons that Formora and Enduriel steal from Ikharos's jumpship is the Eternity's Edge sword, which was originally Ikharos's choice melee weapon in Stargazer before forging Néhvaët. Skuldu refers to Ikharos as the Kingkiller, which was the title bestowed upon him by Tarrhis in Stargazer.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Granny Skuldu, the Hive Ghost that Ikharos was keeping prisoner aboard his jumpship, initially comes across as an eccentric Cool Old Lady with the demeanor of a Doting Grandparent. After Formora frees her, she helps save Formora's life and compliments her on her appearance as an elf. She also endlessly dotes on her Lightbearer Agnisia and seems to act as her Morality Pet, having convinced Agnisia to spare Formora's life in a show of gratitude. However, it doesn't take long for Skuldu to reveal her true nature as an unhinged control freak who doesn't hesitate to threaten Formora's life the moment she becomes uncooperative.

Evil Power Vacuum: It's revealed in the Hidden reports at the start of the story that Rhulk's death left the Scorn in Savathûn's Throne World fractured and leaderless with various minor Chieftains just barely maintaining cohesion within the ranks. Ikharos suspects that the Witness intends to have the Locus of Communion fill in the power vacuum, hence why he's pushing so hard to have him eliminated.

Bilingual Bonus: In Chapter 2, when Ikharos makes it clear that he's uncomfortable with the Stranger having his former teammate Jaxson substitute for her as a mentor for Guardians learning to wield Stasis because he thinks that Jaxson is overworked as it is, she says something in French in response to hearing Ikharos say "Touché." In Chapter 9, Elsie tells Formora that she's sorry in French before leaving through the front door after Formora snapped at her to Get Out! for daring to compare her to Galbatorix. The two ExSec Exos that ambush Ikharos in Chapter 10 speak in Latin.

Formora asks this of Skuldu upon hearing the Hive Ghost speak for the first time and finding herself unable to bypass her mental defenses. She also asks Skuldu this about Agnisia after witnessing her resurrection and use of unfamiliar magic, to which she is flippantly told not to worry about it.

Liquid Courage
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_2b98ddb5
comment
Liquid Courage: By the time Ikharos and the Exo Stranger catch up to Formora in Chapter 8, she has already helped herself to some wine and is full of what Ikharos identifies as "liquid courage". Formora demonstrates this by not caring that they can see her partially nude, and acting noticeably haughtier (and snarkier) than before. Also, when Ikharos explains that he's immortal, she reacts by holding a knife to his throat and offering to test his claim, something that she would never even think of doing while sober.

 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_2bfabe7
comment
Trespassing to Talk: In Chapter 2, when Ikharos returns to the Shadow Trespass after exploring a Rogue Planet, he finds the Exo Stranger casually sprawled across his couch inside, waiting for him to talk about his current mission. This gets played with since the Stranger is actually the ship's original owner, having built and designed it herself before it came into Ikharos's possession — something that she is quick to point out to him.

Ghost Ship: In the second chapter, Ikharos and his Cabal allies find a seemingly abandoned Colony Ship from humanity's Golden Age in orbit of a strange anomaly surrounding the planet Kepler-186f. Naturally, Ikharos decides to investigate and encounters numerous hostile Exos and military-grade Frames aboard the vessel. He's forced to cut his visit short when a pair of Scornships are detected at the edge of the star system.

Lightspeed Leapfrog: When the crew of the Rancis Olytus began hunting the Locus of Communion through uncharted space, they were always one step behind their quarry due to having no knowledge of where their target was headed, so the best that they could do was blindly follow the trail of breadcrumbs the Locus left behind. However, once Ikharos learns which star system the Locus was heading towards (thanks to coordinates provided by Elsie), the Rancis Olytus performs an FTL jump and reaches their destination ahead of the Locus's ships that they had originally been chasing.

Ramming Always Works
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_3114c1e5
comment
Ramming Always Works: This tactic is used by both sides during the Space Battle at the start of the story. While Ikharos, Elsie, and a squad of Cabal are aboard the Exodus ship, a Scorn Ketch tries to ram the vessel and push it into the anomaly. Ikharos tries to counter this by ordering Vindica'aur over the radio to ram the Rancis Olytus into the Ketch to prevent it from reaching the Exodus ship. This doesn't work due to a second Ketch performing a Hyperspeed Ambush and ramming the side of the Rancis Olytus, knocking the Cabal frigate out of the fight.

Arch-Enemy: Ikharos holds a special hatred in his heart for Dûl Incaru to the point where he demands for the Vanguard to let Caiatl nuke the Dreaming City just for the off-chance it might destroy her for good. It's very telling that out of all the foes Ikharos has faced in the past (including Crota, Skolas, Oryx, Ghaul, Uldren, and even Riven), Dûl Incaru is the Nightmare manifested by his curse to haunt him wherever he goes.

comment
Adapted Out: Warmind Scipio appears to have been ripped out of the story entirely, given the absence of its satellites orbiting Kepler-186f and the fact that the Colony Ship it used as a base in Stargazer is found to be a derelict Ghost Ship floating outside Kepler's atmosphere. Subverted when it's revealed that Scipio is still around (albeit on Nezarec's side instead of the heroes) with his satellites orbiting Kepler-186f from inside the anomaly. The Worldbreakers and Soulrazers from the original version are adapted out and replaced with Saladin's Iron War Beasts as the Cabal faction featured in the story. Kiphoris and the House of Scar are also gone with the Scorn replacing their role as the story's Fallen faction. There's actually quite a few characters from Stargazer who are absent here, including Tellesa and her rebels, Kida 99-40, Taox, the talking dolphins, the Erdsson family, Kirrnaka-Hul, and the Teeth of Yul.

Sword Drag: Cuaroc, the metal beast on Vroengard, uses a massive claymore that he drags through the ground by the blade as he wanders around his island, leaving a narrow trail carved into the earth next to his footprints. Having been hunted by Cuaroc for decades, Formora can tell if he's nearby simply by listening for the sound of his sword scraping along the ground.

Out-Gambitted: Ikharos and his task force get outwitted by the Scorn during the Space Battle early in the story. When the Scorn were detected arriving at the Kepler-186 system with two Ketches, Ikharos had a straightforward plan for defeating them — have the Rancis Olytus disable one of the Ketches by ramming it while he takes a squadron of Harvesters to board the other. Unfortunately for him, the Scorn have anticipated what he's going to do and outmaneuver him by sending in one Ketch to act as a decoy. Then, when the Rancis Olytus is preparing to ram it, the other Ketch warps in right next to it and spears its frontal prow through the frigate's stern (which has relatively weak shielding due to most of the ship's shields being diverted to the front in preparation for the ramming maneuver). This knocks the Rancis Olytus out of the fight and leaves the first Ketch free to reach its target uncontested.

Hangover Sensitivity: After spending the entire day drinking away her stress and confusion, Formora wakes up in Chapter 9 "full of morning regrets" with a splitting headache and an increased sensitivity to light in her eyes. The hangover she gets is especially nasty since this was her first time tasting alcohol after decades of abstinence.

This is justified by Elsie being an Exo with a heavily customized body.

The Curb-Stomp Battle that ensues between Agnisia and a horde of frenzied Scorn outside Ikharos's crashed jumpship happens completely offscreen. We're only shown Formora's perspective from inside the Shadow Trespass as she watches Agnisia and Skuldu exit the ship, followed by the sounds of howling Scorn, an Arc explosion, and Agnisia's battle scream. A few minutes later, Formora cautiously peeks outside and finds Agnisia triumphantly raising her sword and glaive in the air while floating above a battlefield covered in deep scorch marks.

This version of Nezarec is an amalgamation of his depictions in canon and his O.C. Stand-in in Stargazer. Like in Stargazer, Nezarec is the one responsible for trapping Kepler-186f in an anomaly, is Spared by the Adaptation, and has an ancient feud with the Hive. However, this version is also the master of the Nightmares like his canonical depiction.

She and Enduriel manage to outrun the wave and watch from uphill as their tower is destroyed by the flood.

It's eventually revealed by Elsie that it's not just one Disciple that's stuck on Kepler-186f but several.

Abandon Ship: The fifth chapter has Ikharos find what's left of the Rancis Olytus laying at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Vroengard. Upon reuniting with the surviving crew, he gives the order to abandon ship and take whatever supplies they can back to the island since their ship is damaged beyond repair and is sitting right next to a crashed Ketch that is swarming with Scorn.

 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_52a7e035
comment
Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment: Elsie had a very close relationship with multiple versions of Ikharos from her previous timelines which she projects onto the current Ikharos. This is shown through how she acts very familiar with him, awkwardly addresses him by his first name, offers advice for his personal problems, and eventually insists that he calls her Elsie instead of Elisabeth. For his part, Ikharos is slightly mistrustful of her since he's barely gotten to know her and this is the first time that they've ever worked closely together from his perspective.

Villain Respect: In his message to Ikharos in Chapter 12, the Big Bad Nezarec expresses total admiration towards him for his victories over Oryx and Savathûn. He ends his message by saluting Ikharos as a Worthy Opponent and eagerly proclaiming that he can't wait to meet with him in-person.

Who Needs Their Whole Body?

Who Needs Their Whole Body?: In Chapter 6, after seeing a Raider get back up less than a minute after she decapitated it, Formora tries slicing it in half with her sword. This proves to be even less effective than cutting off its head was, as the upper half of the Scorn's body continues dragging itself across the floor without even pausing. In Chapter 10, Ikharos slices a hostile Exo in half using his glaive, only for the Exo's upper torso to crawl after him by using the nanomachines in its body to form mechanical tendrils to drag itself across the ground.

Redshirt Army: The Rancis Olytus crew start dying in droves once they reach the Kepler-186 system. At the start of his mission, Ikharos left the Sol System with roughly 500 soldiers under his command. Following the Space Battle with the Scorn, going through the anomaly with no way to shield themselves from the Darkness, and crashing their ship into the sea, the crew are reduced to a little over a fifth of their original size.

Casual Interstellar Travel: Being a former galactic empire, the Cabal naturally have starships capable of advanced Faster-Than-Light Travel. It only takes a single day for the Rancis Olytus, a typical Imperial Cabal frigate, to warp from a Rogue Planet described as being "not far from Sol" to the Kepler-186 system hundreds of light years away.

The Teetotaler: Formora and Enduriel refrained from any drinking during their time on Vroengard since they needed to keep their heads clear if they wanted to live to see another day on the island. After Enduriel's death, Formora figures since she's now alone with nowhere on the island truly being safe, she might as well indulge herself with some of the creature comforts she denied herself for decades like fine wine.

Threat Backfire: After leaving Ikharos at the end of Chapter 7, Formora tries to intimidate the remaining Scorn on Vroengard into staying away by capturing Stalkers and crucifying them to wooden posts outside the abandoned villa she was staying at. Ikharos informs her that this would only attract more Scorn to the area since all Scorn are linked by a Hive Mind.

Enemy Mine: Elsie has been spending most of her time on Vroengard trying to forge an alliance with Zendolyn-Far against Nezarec by offering to help free Zendolyn and her fellow Disciples from the anomaly that has kept them trapped on Kepler-186f. Her reasoning behind this is that Zendolyn is A Lighter Shade of Black when compared to her peers and Ikharos cannot afford to have her as an enemy. Despite Zendolyn expressing her interest at the idea, Ikharos is vehemently opposed to it because she is still one of the Witness's Disciples (the very people the Guardians are currently at war with), and it will be a cold day in hell before he ever aligns himself with the Black Fleet.

Adaptation Distillation
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_5a40d6a
comment
Adaptation Distillation: Stargazer used a limited third-person perspective that regularly switched between Ikharos and an ever-growing Ensemble Cast, with single chapters sometimes sharing several different points-of-view. By contrast, No stars in sight is written solely from the perspectives of Ikharos and Formora, and uses a single POV throughout each chapter. In the original fic, Ikharos crashed his jumpship into a forest on Alagaësia, then traveled around for a bit gathering information about the world he's on. Along the way, he helps some rebels fighting against the Broddring Empire and learns about the Dragon Riders from a library and a storyteller. It's only after all this that he buys a sailboat and heads to Vroengard hoping to find more information on Alagaësia's dragons. This rewrite skips all that by having his jumpship crash-land directly onto Vroengard.

Brown Note
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_5db59a03

Brown Note: The enchantments protecting the Rock of Kuthian are a form of cognito-hazard that erase all memories of the spire from anyone exposed to it. The effects also get stronger the closer you get to it. The Cabal are unable to see the Rock of Kuthian through broadcasted footage because the enchantment causes them to instantly forget they ever saw it. Due to his paracausal nature and wearing a helmet with built-in memetic blocks, Ikharos is somewhat resistant to its effects but not completely immune. While fighting Cuaroc near the spire, the enchantment breaks through his helmet's protection, causing his memory to blank out mid-battle. When he kills himself and gets revived by Xiān a little later, Ikharos realizes that he can't remember anything that happened in the last 45 minutes.

comment
We Are as Mayflies: Discussed in Chapter 9. Formora outright refers to the dwarves and urgals as mayflies while comparing their lifespans (which are similar to humans) to that of elves. Ikharos lampshades this trope by correctly pointing out that how mayflies being short-lived is just a myth. Mayflies actually have multi-year lifespans, but spend nearly all of that time as nympths and only reach adulthood at the end of their lives. Formora still thinks that her mayfly comparison is applicable since (from her perspective) dwarves and urgals only gain wisdom in their waning years, at which point it is too late for them to do anything with it.

Pragmatic Adaptation: Since this fic takes place after Torobatl fell to Xivu Arath, and the Cabal Empire collapsed from in-fighting and further Hive invasions, it wouldn't make any sense for two Cabal Legions to be traveling through the Kepler-186 system on a mission from Umun'arath (who by this point in the timeline was executed by Caiatl for being a Hive worshipper). Because of this, the Worldbreakers and Soulrazers from Stargazer are replaced with Caiatl's Imperial Cabal.

Losing Your Head: The first time Formora fights a Scorn, she tries to kill it by chopping off its head, only to be horrified when its headless corpse gets back up seconds later for round 2. While fighting Cuaroc in Chapter 8, Ikharos slices off his head and assumes he's dead. Since Cuaroc isn't a full Exomind, this does nothing to him and he gets back up while Ikharos has his back turned, then stabs him through the chest before literally tearing him apart.

Came from the Sky: In Chapter 4, we're shown Formora's perspective as she witnesses Ikharos's jumpship, a Cabal frigate, two Scornships, and pieces of the Exodus colony ship all fall from the sky after being spit out by the anomaly. She initially mistakes them for shooting stars but quickly realizes that they're something entirely new. The Rancis Olytus and one of the Scornships crash into the ocean, creating a Giant Wall of Watery Doom that floods the entire southeast coast of Vroengard and destroys a couple of the shelters that Formora and Enduriel had been using. She and Enduriel then watch as Ikharos's jumpship is chased near their island by the remaining Scornship and shot down.

Implacable Man: Cuaroc is relentless in his nightly hunts for Formora and Enduriel on Vroengard. There is nothing either of them can do to hurt him, and any of the island's predators stupid enough to attack Cuaroc get effortlessly slain. No place on the island is truly safe from his reach as he always somehow tracks Formora to her hiding spot each night. Running or staying out of sight are really the only options that Formora has whenever she finds herself being stalked by this thing.

That's No Moon: After crashing his jumpship on Vroengard, Ikharos and Xiān notice the presence of what appear to be stars in the sky, which they find strange since the planet they're on is located inside a Pocket Dimension separate from the rest of the known universe. Indilic suspects that the stars are part of an illusion meant to fool the planet's inhabitants. It's not until later in Chapter 10 do they realize that the lights in the night sky aren't stars but Kill Sats.

Surveillance Drone: The Awoken use surveillance drones disguised as crows. Ikharos owns six of these, which he has Indilic deploy in Chapter 7 to scout out Vroengard as well as spy on Formora after she leaves.

Adaptation Personality Change: At first, the Ikharos in Stargazer didn't even bother trying to negotiate with the Cabal army stranded on Kepler-186f and only reluctantly agreed to an Enemy Mine with them as a Godzilla Threshold. Here, he starts off way more open to the idea of working with the Cabal, though privately admits to slightly distrusting them. This can be chalked up to fic's Setting Update. Stargazer took place before Caiatl came to the Sol System, during a time when the idea of an alliance between the Guardians and Cabal would've been unthinkable. It didn't help that every Cabal Ikharos had encountered up to that point were either bloodthirsty Galactic Conquerors like Ghaul or exploitative Planet Looters like Calus. However, No stars in sight is set after Operation Elbrus, by which point the Guardians have met Empress Caiatl and fought alongside the Imperial Cabal against their common foes. In Stargazer, Nezarec's underlings were enraged with Ikharos for killing Oryx before they could and denounced him as a thief for "stealing" their vengeance. Here, Nezarec is instead profoundly grateful towards Ikharos for slaying Oryx and Savathûn, showering him with praise for the deed in the message he leaves for him in Chapter 12.

Here, it's revealed that Ikharos secretly trapped her Ghost aboard his jumpship until Formora freed it, resulting in the Right Hand (who is given the name Agnisia) being revived on Vroengard.

comment
Adaptational Early Appearance: In Stargazer, the Cabal and Fallen don't show up on Kepler-186f until after Ikharos has already crash-landed there. Here, the fic opens with Ikharos aiding the Imperial Cabal in tracking down the Scorn who fled the Sol System to Kepler-186f, so all three arrive at the planet at the same time. In the original Stargazer, it took around fourteen chapters for Formora and Enduriel to be introduced to the story. Here, they make their first appearance in the fourth chapter, pretty much almost immediately after Ikharos's ship crash lands on their planet. In the original fic, the ExSec Exos don't show up in the story until the end of Chapter 15, after Ikharos has crash landed his jumpship on Alagaësia. Here, Ikharos encounters them in the second chapter aboard a derelict colony ship before he has even entered Kepler-186f's atmosphere.

In canon, Nezarec has been dead since the Collapse. There's even an entire season dedicated to gathering Nezarec's remains as ingredients for a magical tea that Saint-14 uses to awaken Osiris from his coma. Here, Nezarec appears to be alive and well, being part of the Big Bad Ensemble and personally writing a message intended for Ikharos in Chapter 12. This is actually Zog-Zagged, as while Nezarec's physical body is dead, the Root of Nightmares raid reveals that he turned himself into a transcendent entity associated with fear and hatred, meaning that his soul will exist (and potentially be able to resurrect his body) as long as there are intelligent beings who can feel free and hatred.]]

Suicide by Cop: Attempted by Formora in Chapter 9. After many hours of drinking wine and smoking a plant that's implied to be the Alagaësian equivalent of weed, Formora stares out the window of her villa and catches the attention of a Scorn Chieftain outside, who aims its energy rifle at her. In her drugged state, Formora finds that she can't see the point in living and waits for the Chieftain to shoot her. Fortunately, Zendolyn-Far saves her by opening a portal that swallows up the Chieftain at the last moment.

Adaptational Badass: Unlike in Stargazer, Ikharos is able to use Stasis in addition to his already existing Warlock abilities since he was present for the events of Beyond Light in this fic's timeline. He is also revealed to have the ability to control Resonance (the Darkness element wielded by the Pyramid ships) which he gained from killing Rhulk. The ExSec Exos in Stargazer were pretty much just normal Exominds with a Heart Drive hidden in the back of their skulls. Here, their bodies are filled with weaponized nanomachines that can self-repair and be deployed as a biological weapon by their hosts.

Out-of-Genre Experience
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_74ee1c2d
comment
Out-of-Genre Experience: The entirety of Chapter 4 is a classic Survival Horror story set on a deserted island with a monster hunting the survivors. You have Formora and Enduriel as the survivors who spend the day scavenging for food and exploring the area. You have Cuaroc as the Invincible Boogeyman who stalks the duo every night. Formora's only option for survival against the monster is to find shelter with the idea of fighting back never even being entertained. Even after Ikharos's jumpship crashes nearby, the chapter doesn't stop being survival horror as Ikharos is depicted as a Humanoid Abomination from Formora's POV. Vroengard having abandoned buildings and being filled with mutated creatures also gives the chapter a post-apocalyptic feel to it. The sudden appearance of a huge Scorn at the end doesn't take anything away from the chapter's tone as the story treats it as just another monster Formora has to run and hide from.

comment
Admiring the Abomination: Whereas Formora was horror-struck and fled in terror when she saw Cuaroc coming towards her while she was out in the open, Skuldu reacts to his appearance with awe and calls him the coolest Exo she's ever seen. This is understandable given how Skuldu is from a Science Fiction setting where Mechanical Lifeforms like Cuaroc are commonplace as opposed to Formora, who comes from a less advanced Standard Fantasy Setting. Also, Skuldu has never had to deal with Cuaroc trying to kill her every night like Formora has.

Summon Bigger Fish: When Formora is trapped in an Enclosed Space aboard the Shadow Trespass with a Scorn Raider that refuses to die, she resorts to releasing a Hive Ghost named Skuldu from the container that Ikharos had trapped it in. Skuldu proceeds to revive her partner Agnisia, a powerful Lightbearer Wizard who effortlessly disintegrates the Raider with a single spell, then goes on to slaughter all the Scorn that were waiting outside the jumpship. This gets played with since Formora had to be convinced by Skuldu to free her and only did so out of desperation after seeing the Raider shrug off everything she tried to throw at it.

Original Character

comment
Original Character: The first chapter makes brief mention of the Startrotters and Glazetrotters, two OC Cabal Legions which are carrying out military operations under Caiatl and Saladin's orders against the Scorn on the Glykon Volatus. Among the Cabal under Ikharos's command, the two given the most characterization are Val Vindica'aur and High Optus Indilic. Vindica'aur is a Centurion who acts as Ikharos's Number Two and is characterized as a naysayer of Ikharos's leadership, while Indilic is a powerful Psion sent by Caiatl to advise Ikharos on how to handle his troops. Another original character in the story is Granny Skuldu. She is a crazy Hive Ghost who was the partner of Savathûn's Right Hand and is initially imprisoned inside a locker aboard Ikharos's jumpship until Formora frees her, whereupon she becomes one of the fic's antagonists. There's also Zendolyn-Far, one of the Witness's Disciples trapped on Kepler-186f, who Formora first encounters in Doru Araeba while trying to escape Skuldu and Agnisia.

Repeated for Emphasis: The Stranger in chapter 2 when Ikharos indirectly tries to pry at her knowledge of the future. Formora does this in chapter 4 while arguing with Enduriel about what to do after seeing Ikharos' jumpship crash on their island. Formora also does this in Chapter 4 when she sees Enduriel looking at the locker containing the Hive Ghost the wrong way while holding weapons despite her having already told him to not kill it. She tells him "no" and repeats it in a way that screams "Don't even THINK about it!" Formora in Chapter 6 while warning Enduriel against trying to take the two Eldunarya in her possession. Done with Granny Skuldu to show her reaction to finding out where she was being kept prisoner the entire time.

Eldritch Abomination: While the Exodus Prime is making the transit through the anomaly in Chapter 3, there is a scene where Ikharos has to leave the relative safety of the ship and go outside in a spacesuit with a flare to signal his Ghost, who was piloting his jumpship when it had gotten lost in the anomaly. While floating in the empty void, Ikharos encounters several powerful and ancient entities native to the realm. It's eventually explained in Chapter 8 that all of these entities are also prisoners of the anomaly and have spent millennia trying to escape. The first is a Faceless Eye the size of Jupiter. Upon sensing the Light within Ikharos, the eye shrinks to the size of a continent and teleports closer to the Exodus ship, then subjects Ike to a quick Mind Rape before vanishing. The next one is a mouthless, six-eyed skull made of molten rock with crystal plated horns. The skull-thing is a lot more hostile and tries to destroy the Exodus ship outright. Finally, there is a third unseen entity that repels the skull with a silver spear before it can attack the Exodus ship. This being then manifests a golden scythe that it uses to tear open a portal to Kepler-186f, allowing every ship that got trapped in the anomaly to return to realspace.

Bling of War: Formora describes the outfit that Ikharos wears as "armoured finery" with gold and colorful jewels adorning his armor and robes. Vindica'aur is a Val (Cabal military rank equivalent to captain) who has her tusks capped in gold and wears ornaments on them while on active duty aboard her warship.

What the Hell Is That Accent?: Ikharos can't place Formora's accent and best describes it as sounding vaguely Nordic with some French undertones and a Gaelic lilt.

Back from the Dead
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_8967e17f
comment
A fundamental law of the magic system in Inheritance Cycle is that no one can come Back from the Dead because the soul dies with the body.note The only confirmed exception to this rule are dragons, who each have a Gem Heart called an Eldunarí that functions as their Soul Jar. Even then, they still need this body part intact to endure, and a dragon can't be physically restored from their Eldunarí once their body has died. The Scorn casually flaunt this rule with their very existence, being Eliksni who've died and then had their corpses reanimated through the use of Dark Ether. They can also continually resurrect themselves anytime they're killed with certain individuals like the Scorned Barons even keeping their memories of their past lives. For Formora, witnessing a Raider that she just decapitated suddenly get back up was a reality-shattering experience.

This is one of the questions that Formora asks the Exo Stranger after seeing her robotic appearance. The Stranger gives the short answer "Exomind", then provides a quick and abridged definition of the term, which Formora barely understands given Alagaësia's Medieval Stasis.

Catch a Falling Star: At the end of chapter 3, Ikharos is outside on the hull of the Exodus ship when it enters Kepler-186f's planetary atmosphere. The sudden pull of gravity causes him to slip off the ship as he and the Exodus plummet to the ocean below. Xiān is piloting a jumpship when this happens and dives in after him, managing to catch him mid-air by gently sloping the spacecraft underneath him as they fell.

Resurrective Immortality
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_934eb07f
comment
The Scorn's method of Resurrective Immortality also works differently from that of Shades. With Shades, it at least takes some time for them to rematerialize after being destroyed and they can still be permanently killed by being stabbed through the heart. With Scorn, it takes less than a minute for them to self-revive and they don't have any body parts that can be exploited as an Achilles' Heel. Also, Shades are living people possessed by evil spirits rather than actual zombies like the Scorn.

Not So Above It All: Despite being one of the fic's Big Bads, Nezarec comes across as a giddy fanboy in the message that he sends to Ikharos in Chapter 12. He struggles with how to properly word his admiration for Ikharos without embarrassing himself and keeps rewriting the contents of his message because he isn't satisfied with how he worded it.

Like in Stargazer, Ikharos gets really pissed if someone touches his knife, which is a Tragic Keepsake from his dead partner. When he accidentally leaves the knife lodged in a Nïdhwal's eye during their underwater battle, the mere thought of the creature swimming away with it is enough to send him into a homicidal frenzy.

Inter-Service Rivalry: Part of the backstory for how Ikharos acquired the Exotic bow Ticuu's Divination. Between the events of Forsaken and Shadowkeep, there was a Psion Flayer from the Blind Legion who had a feud with a Cabal Colossus from the Dust Giants. This culminated in the Flayer hiring Ikharos to assassinate the Colossus by offering the bow as a reward.

Get Out!: Formora says this to Elsie in Chapter 9 after the latter makes a tactless remark comparing her to Galbatorix (the Evil Overlord who brainwashed Formora into betraying the Dragon Riders and caused the deaths of everyone she loved). To be fair, Elsie immediately regrets her words and acknowledges that what she said crossed a line, but Formora is too angry to care and snaps at her to leave her villa.

Friendly Address Privileges: Ikharos gets very particular about who is allowed to call him "Ike", only granting permission to those he considers his closest friends. The Exo Stranger specifically warns Formora not to call him by that nickname unless she wants to test his patience. When the Stranger herself addresses Ikharos as "Ike" during a You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious moment, she gets chastised for not having "earned" that privilege yet.

Ascended Extra: Like in Stargazer, Formora goes from being a minor Posthumous Character in canon to the Deuteragonist of the story. The Scorn were barely in the original version of this fanfic, only briefly appearing at the start of Stargazer, where Ikharos watched a Guardian Fireteam kill Fikrul for the umpteenth time, and in a flashback where Fikrul is fought by Ikharos and Quantis. Here, the Scorn are featured as major antagonists with the Locus of Communion seemingly as their new leader. Dûl Incaru had a rather minimal presence in the original Stargazer, only appearing once in the story proper where she talks with Ikharos through his dreams. Here, she (or to be more accurate, a Nightmare of her) takes a more active role as Ikharos's Enemy Within and regularly haunts him throughout the story. Agaravel is only mentioned twice in the entire Inheritance Cycle series and had a brief cameo in Stargazer during Formora's flashback of the Dragon War. Here, she is a supporting character and introduced as an Eldunarí in Formora's possession. Cuaroc was a minor character in canon and was only mentioned once in the original version of this fic. Here, he makes a full appearance as a major Hero Antagonist to Ikharos and Formora. Savathûn's Right Hand was such a minor character in The Witch Queen that she's never even given a proper name and only appears once in the campaign as the boss of a story mission. Here, she's named Agnisia and has a far more prominent role as one of the fic's major villains.

Vengeance Denied
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_a88d99c2
comment
In Stargazer, Nezarec's underlings were enraged with Ikharos for killing Oryx before they could and denounced him as a thief for "stealing" their vengeance. Here, Nezarec is instead profoundly grateful towards Ikharos for slaying Oryx and Savathûn, showering him with praise for the deed in the message he leaves for him in Chapter 12.

Motive Misidentification

comment
Motive Misidentification: When the Rancis Olytus detected a derelict Golden Age colony ship orbiting a Dark anomaly, Ikharos assumed that the Locus as after something valuable hidden aboard the ship. Elsie explains to him later that the Locus's real goal was to travel through the anomaly to reach Alagaësia. The only reason the Scorn wanted the colony ship was because they needed something to shield the Locus's Ketch from the dangerous entities living inside the anomaly.

While going up an elevator shaft, the ship's Artificial Gravity suddenly reactivates, causing Aur'oxis to plummet to their death. They are given No Sympathy by their fellow Legionaries, who think Aur'oxis was Too Dumb to Live for not using their jetpack to save themself. Vrizu'ur is a War Beast that accompanies Ikharos and his team of Psions when they leave their camp to investigate Vroengard's western coast in Chapter 10. During the battle with the two Exos, Vrizu'ur tries to attack one of them, only to get eviscerated by the Exo's mechanical tendrils.

In "Log 122A11", Captain Jacob Lee has one when he plays the broadcasted message that the Exodus Prime received from Ezyrax during their first contact in Kepler-186f's orbit. Upon hearing the alien speak in the same language used by the Ahamkara, Jacob screams at his AI helper Nomeon to shut off the message and orders an immediate data cleanse of the ship's communication logs. Not that it does him much good in the end.

Setting Update: Stargazer begins between the events of Shadowkeep and Season of Arrivals. This fic takes place a lot later in Destiny's timeline, being set after Season of the Haunted. This is shown by the inclusion of story elements that were absent in the original such as Ikharos using Stasis and a glaive, the Guardians being in a tenuous alliance with the Cabal, and the existence of the Witness and its Disciples.

Nice Day, Deadly Night: Despite most of Vroengard resembling a post-apocalyptic landscape, Formora and Enduriel have found that life on the island isn't so bad during the day as long as they stick to the shores and avoid the areas filled with "poisonous air" (read: high levels of radiation). During the night, however, Cuaroc comes out to hunt the duo, killing anything that gets in his way and only ceasing his relentless pursuit when dawn approaches. This little game of cat and mouse has been going on for upwards of four decades.

Collector of the Strange: Ikharos has taken up a hobby of collecting alien critters that he's found on other planets, which are kept in terrariums inside the Shadow Trespass's Trophy Room. These include an Amalthian tarantula, a Venusian quill-boa, a nest of Plutonian red whip scorpions, and a slug from the Rogue Planet that he explored in Chapter 2.

Warmind Scipio appears to have been ripped out of the story entirely, given the absence of its satellites orbiting Kepler-186f and the fact that the Colony Ship it used as a base in Stargazer is found to be a derelict Ghost Ship floating outside Kepler's atmosphere. Subverted when it's revealed that Scipio is still around (albeit on Nezarec's side instead of the heroes) with his satellites orbiting Kepler-186f from inside the anomaly.

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: The Scorn are this in the setting of Inheritance Cycle due to the absence of the Light as well as any weapons that can counter their Resurrective Immortality, which many Guardians take for granted. Because of this, even regular Scorn units that are considered Mooks by the Guardians instead get treated like unkillable Implacable Men when facing the Inheritance Cycle characters. One unarmed Scorn is able to hold its own for a while against Cuaroc, the protector of the Vault of Souls. Another instance was when a single Raider (a common mook specializing in ranged attacks) is able to take on two of the legendary Forsworn in melee combat, killing one and nearly overwhelming the other. This gets subverted later on as Formora has no trouble overpowering and capturing three Stalkers after she's made aware of the Scorn's self-reviving trick.

Power Nullifier: The two Exos that attack Ikharos in Chapter 10 come equipped with a Valkyrie javelin modified with paracausal dampening technology that allows it to generate a suppression field around the user which cancels out any Light or Darkness-based abilities and weapons. This Valkyrie can also fire blasts of Warmind energy which critically injures Ikharos and generates a dampening field around him that prevents Xiān from healing him.

Entitled to Have You: A platonic variation in the way that Granny Skuldu acts towards Formora. She thinks that since she saved Formora from being killed by the Scorn, this automatically gives her ownership over Formora's "pitiful mortal life" to do with as she pleases. When Formora runs away from her and demands to be left alone, Skuldu gets angry and sics her Hive Wizard on her.

Berserk Button: Like in Stargazer, Ikharos gets really pissed if someone touches his knife, which is a Tragic Keepsake from his dead partner. When he accidentally leaves the knife lodged in a Nïdhwal's eye during their underwater battle, the mere thought of the creature swimming away with it is enough to send him into a homicidal frenzy. Enduriel hates being called a fool and comes close to attacking Formora when she does just that. Formora is well aware of this and did it specifically to tick him off.

Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the original version, Ikharos kills the Nïdhwal with a Nova Bomb. Here, the Nïdhwal is Killed Offscreen by Ikharos charging into its jaws with a glaive. Enduriel was killed in Stargazer by Ikharos, who forced him to slit his own throat using the knife Enduriel had stolen from him. In this fic, Enduriel dies from a sudden Neck Snap inflicted onto him by a Scorn Raider. In canon, Glaerun was killed by Thuviel's explosion at the end of the Battle at Doru Araeba. Here, Ikharks learns via Deepsight that Glaerun was killed by his master Galbatorix, who bashed in his skull during a fit of madness.

He then lifts up one of the Exos by the neck, slams it into the corridor's wall, and attempts to interrogate it. When the Exo refuses to say anything, Ikharos uses his Stasis powers to leave it frozen to the wall.

Eat Me: It's implied that Ikharos killed the Nïdhwal in Chapter 5 by charging into its mouth and attacking it from the inside with his glaive. The experience leaves him slightly traumatized as he can't bear dissecting the beast "while the memory's still fresh" and has to suppress a shudder while thinking about what he went through.

comment
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: It's made clear early on that Vindica'aur dislikes working with Ikharos and only follows his orders because her rank and honor is on the line. Her main gripe seems to be over how she has to act subordinate to someone outside the traditional Cabal chain of command. Ikharos does little to alleviate tensions, accidentally disrespecting her in front of her own officers at one point and regularly keeping her Locked Out of the Loop until the last minute. Their relationship grows worse as the story goes on as Vindica'aur blames Ikharos for stranding them on Kepler-186f and inadvertently getting most of her troops killed. Despite being fellow Forsworn and having lived together for decades, Formora and Enduriel despise each other and can barely tolerate the other's presence. The only thing keeping them together is that fact that they need each other to survive on Vroengard and trying to go their separate ways would be tantamount to suicide with Cuaroc still hunting for them on the island.

Dem Bones: One of the Eldritch Abominations inside the anomaly that Ikharos encounters in Chapter 3 is a six-eyed, mouthless skull with horns.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_c5b47b36

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: We aren't shown exactly how Ikharos killed the Nïdhwal in Chapter 5. The scene ends with him charging into the sea monster's jaws with his glaive, then cuts to the aftermath where a blood-soaked Ikharos is dragging the Nïdhwal's massive corpse onto land where he is greeted with cheering Cabal soldiers. The Curb-Stomp Battle that ensues between Agnisia and a horde of frenzied Scorn outside Ikharos's crashed jumpship happens completely offscreen. We're only shown Formora's perspective from inside the Shadow Trespass as she watches Agnisia and Skuldu exit the ship, followed by the sounds of howling Scorn, an Arc explosion, and Agnisia's battle scream. A few minutes later, Formora cautiously peeks outside and finds Agnisia triumphantly raising her sword and glaive in the air while floating above a battlefield covered in deep scorch marks. Between Chapters 7 and 8, Formora was somehow able to overpower and capture three Scorn Stalkers, which she tied to wooden posts outside her villa to serve as a warning to the other Scorn in the area. This is impressive since she struggled to defeat even a single Raider the night before, though Stalkers are admittedly weaker mooks than Raiders are.

Internal Retcon: In Chapter 7, Ikharos, Indilic, and two other Psions conspire to enact this trope upon learning of Agnisia's escape from the Shadow Trespass. Since the remaining Cabal under Ikharos's command might mutiny if they ever found out he had been keeping Savathûn's Number Two as a prisoner without their knowledge, Ikharos is convinced by Indilic to explain away Agnisia's presence on Kepler-186f by lying to his troops that she had followed him to Kepler seeking revenge for Savathûn's death.

Mêlée à Trois: The Vroengard arc features four separate factions all trying to kill each other with Formora caught in the middle. There's Ikharos, Elsie, and the Imperial Cabal vs. the Locus's Scorn vs. Skuldu and Agnisia vs. Cuaroc, with Zendolyn-Far acting as an All-Powerful Bystander and Wild Card. Aside from Zendolyn and the Scorn, who aren't aware they're on the same side due to a case of Right Hand Versus Left Hand, each faction stands in direct opposition to everyone else's goals.

Telepathy: High Optus Indilic uses his psionic powers to communicate with others telepathically rather than verbally. The Scorn can hear thoughts as though they were spoken aloud, which is how they are able to keep finding Formora and Agaravel on Vroengard as both communicate with each other telepathically.

While fighting Cuaroc in Chapter 8, Ikharos slices off his head and assumes he's dead. Since Cuaroc isn't a full Exomind, this does nothing to him and he gets back up while Ikharos has his back turned, then stabs him through the chest before literally tearing him apart.

Taking You with Me: Narrowly averted in Chapter 5. After the Rancis Olytus is rendered permanently inoperable from crashing into the sea surrounding Vroengard, Val Vindica'aur attempts to go out in a blaze of glory by reactivating the ship's heavy cannons to fire explosive rounds at the Scornship still lodged in the side of her ship's hull. She is stopped by Ikharos, who arrives just in time to countermand her orders in favor of abandoning ship.

Trust Password: After rescuing Formora from Zendolyn, Elsie brings her back to the crashed Shadow Trespass and gives her a code phrase for when Ikharos finds her: "Paladin Oran built everyone's haven after Vesta's end. Faulty orientation offsets latency." Upon hearing Formora repeat this phrase, Ikharos lets her go free instead of allowing his Psions to detain and question her.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Subverted in Chapter 6. Elsie shoots Zendolyn-Far (one of the Witness's Disciples) with her rifle to keep her from eating Formora, seemingly forcing Zendolyn to retreat. However, it's explained shortly afterwards that the bullets from Elsie's gun didn't actually harm Zendolyn, who Elsie has to go personally apologize to when everything's said and done. Ikharos's reaction to learning this sums it up quite nicely.

Negative Space Wedgie: When Ikharos first arrives at Kepler-186, he finds a gravitational anomaly of Darkness where the planet Kepler-186f used to be, similar to the one that formed after Mars when the Pyramids first returned to the Sol System. The anomaly gets referred to as a gravity shadow and is described as having the same visual qualities as a black hole, preventing any light from being visible while looking directly at it. According to the Stranger, it was created by a paradox resulting from two colliding philosophies.

Seen It All: In Chapter 6, Formora has to contend with several Outside Context Problems trying to kill her in the same night, each of whom display abilities that she's never encountered. These include a mechanical Draconic Humanoid, an army of self-reviving Scorn, and a Hive Ghost alongside its Lightbearer Wizard. By the time Elsie finds her, Formora is so numbed with shock that she can't find it in herself to be surprised anymore and takes Elsie's appearance as an Exo in stride.

Cassandra Truth: Formora doesn't believe Ikharos when he claims to have bested Cuaroc in combat until Elsie confirms it by speaking the ancient language. Also, Formora flatly refuses to believe Elsie's story about being a time traveler, especially after Elsie claims to have experienced alternate futures where the two of them became close friends. Unlike the previous example, Formora remains unconvinced even after Elsie repeats her claims through the ancient language.

Adaptational Weapon Swap: In Stargazer, Ikharos's choice melee weapon was a sword. Here, he prefers using a glaive for close-quarters combat. Also, Ikharos's pistol is changed from a Lumina hand cannon to a Forerunner sidearm. In the Inheritance Cycle books, Cuaroc wielded a one-handed Rider sword and a shield. Here, his weapon of choice is instead a massive, two-handed claymore.

Forgot He Was a Robot: Exploited by Ikharos early in the story to subdue a hostile ExSec Exo he encounters while exploring the Exodus Ghost Ship. Right before he was attacked, he heard the Exo make breathing noises and deduced that it was still stuck in the mindset of an organic. During their fight, he takes advantage of this by putting the Exo into a stranglehold and slitting its throat. Just as he predicted, the Exo instinctively panics and clutches its artificial throat while hacking for air, forgetting that it doesn't need oxygen to live.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_d9cf40fa
comment
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Formora is found by Cuaroc while traveling with Skuldu and Agnisia, she abandons her new companions and flees the area. It should be noted that she was always intending to ditch those two at the earliest opportunity and Cuaroc's appearance happened to be just that. Skuldu and Agnisia both skedaddle in Chapter 6 when they come face to face with Zendolyn-Far after cornering Formora in Doru Araeba. In chapter 7, after the waking nightmare that Formora went through — including nearly dying to Cuaroc, the Scorn, a crazy Hive Ghost, and a Disciple of the Witness — she decides she wants nothing to do with whatever Ikharos and his Cabal are mixed up in and leaves the area as soon as she can walk. When Formora's villa is attacked by a pack of Scorn in chapter 11, an injured Ikharos helps Formora escape and asks her to contact his Cabal soldiers and bring them up to speed on what's going on. Instead, Formora outright abandons Ikharos and flees in the opposite direction of where his troops have set up camp. After fending off the Scorn and recovering from his wounds, Ikharos is none to pleased to learn that she ran out on him and issues a warrant for her capture.

I Never Told You My Name: Elsie refers to Xiān by name while asking Ikharos if Xiān is able hack the turrets in one of the Exodus ship's hangars. This leaves him momentarily stunned since he had never told her what his Ghost's name was. This hints towards Elsie having closely known Ikharos in an alternate timeline. During their first meeting, Formora is on the brink of the Despair Event Horizon when she is given a pep talk by Elsie, who addresses her by name. Formora lampshades that she should probably question how Elsie knows her name, but is too tired of surprises to even care.

During their first meeting, Formora is on the brink of the Despair Event Horizon when she is given a pep talk by Elsie, who addresses her by name. Formora lampshades that she should probably question how Elsie knows her name, but is too tired of surprises to even care.

The ExSec Exos in Stargazer were pretty much just normal Exominds with a Heart Drive hidden in the back of their skulls. Here, their bodies are filled with weaponized nanomachines that can self-repair and be deployed as a biological weapon by their hosts.

The original fic had the colony ship Exodus Prime be located at the bottom of one of Alagaësia's oceans where it was used as an Underwater Base by a Warmind named Scipio. Here, Ikharos and the Cabal find the Exodus ship floating in orbit of Kepler-186f, totally derelict and missing its cargo pods. When they board the vessel to investigate, the only lifeforms they find are hostile Exos and Frames.

Glaerun's Rider sword was a rapier that had its blade colored stone-grey like the scales of his dragon.

Composite Character: This version of Nezarec is an amalgamation of his depictions in canon and his O.C. Stand-in in Stargazer. Like in Stargazer, Nezarec is the one responsible for trapping Kepler-186f in an anomaly, is Spared by the Adaptation, and has an ancient feud with the Hive. However, this version is also the master of the Nightmares like his canonical depiction. In canon, Savathûn's Right Hand is a different character from Dûl Incaru. Here, she's revealed to be Dûl Incaru after she was revived by a Hive Ghost post-death.

Throughout all this, neither of them have lost the will to live and are determined to remain alive.

comment
Tactical Withdrawal: In Chapter 5, Ikharos orders the surviving crew of the sunken Rancis Olytus to Abandon Ship and retreat to the nearby island of Vroengard. This is because they are all sitting ducks for the Scorn so long as they stay holed up in the crashed ship, which still has a Ketch full of Scorn rammed into its hull. If they flee to the island, they can recoup their losses in a much more defensible position and eventually launch savage operation to retake whatever remains of the Rancis Olytus from the Scorn. As is in character for Cabal, Vindica'aur objects to the idea of retreating, but Ikharos doesn't care and says as much through Brutal Honesty.

Adaptational Angst Downgrade: In Stargazer, Ikharos was a Broken Ace wracked by his inner demons due to being fresh off from losing Lennox and being exiled from the Last City after the events of Forsaken. Part of the reason that he left the Sol System was because he couldn't handle the emotional pain of Lennox's death and wanted to run away from his problems. Since No stars in sight has a Setting Update which puts it around four years after Forsaken, Ikharos is shown to be more emotionally stable due to the time he's been given to properly grieve and having his exile lifted. He's also shown to be trying to patch things up with his former teammate Jaxson here, whereas no such thing occurs in Stargazer.

Fire Keeps It Dead: Since Scorn have Resurrective Immortality, the Cabal have a policy of cremating any Scorn corpses they find after an engagement. In chapter 5, Indilic informs Ikharos that this was one of the measures that the surviving soldiers aboard the Rancis Olytus carried out in order to clear out any Scorn boarders remaining on the ship after they crashed. Subverted when Formora tries this with a fire spell in Chapter 6 while fighting a Scorn Raider that keeps resurrecting itself. The flames from her spell fail to kill the Raider due to not being hot enough to incinerate its body, leading to a case of Infernal Retaliation.

Trapped-with-Monster Plot: While not the focus of the plot, at the start of the story, Formora and Enduriel have spent close to four decades stuck on a deserted island with a metal beast hunting them. This is downplayed in that the two chose to stay on Vroengard because it's the last place that anyone would ever think to look for them. In chapter 6, Formora ends up stuck in a locked storage room aboard the Shadow Trespass with a Scorn Raider trying to kill her that constantly heals from any damage she deals to it.

 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_f06b07ff
comment
It's made clear early on that Vindica'aur dislikes working with Ikharos and only follows his orders because her rank and honor is on the line. Her main gripe seems to be over how she has to act subordinate to someone outside the traditional Cabal chain of command. Ikharos does little to alleviate tensions, accidentally disrespecting her in front of her own officers at one point and regularly keeping her Locked Out of the Loop until the last minute. Their relationship grows worse as the story goes on as Vindica'aur blames Ikharos for stranding them on Kepler-186f and inadvertently getting most of her troops killed.

Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: Downplayed. Vroengard is far from being a safe place to live, being filled with radioactive fallout, mutated creatures, and an unstoppable metal beast that hunts for trespassers every night. However, decades of surviving on the abandoned island with only Enduriel and a half-insane Agaravel to talk to has left Formora craving for social interaction so much that a part of her "would have killed to have been bothered." Immediately after this line, we cut to the next scene where Ikharos crash lands on Vroengard while the Cabal, Scorn, and the remains of the Exodus ship all crash into the waters surrounding the island.

Why Isn't It Attacking?: In Chapter 5, Ikharos swims to the crash site of the Rancis Olytus and finds the ship laying at the bottom of the sea with a Scorn Ketch still rammed into its stern. After fighting his way through some Scorn boarders and locating the ship's survivors, he notes how odd it is that the Scorn from the nearby Ketch haven't tried to Zerg Rush the Rancis Olytus like they usually would. This makes him paranoid that the Scorn are either trying to distract them or are preparing some sort of trap, so he orders the survivors to Abandon Ship and head for a nearby island to set up temporary fortifications.

Murder Is the Best Solution: In chapter 4, while Formora is exploring the wreckage of the Shadow Trespass, she uses magic to sense the presence of a captive Hive Ghost that Ikharos had been keeping prisoner in a sealed locker. Of course, she has no idea what it is, and when she tells Enduriel about the strange creature she found, he immediately starts to ask if they can kill it. Being smart enough to realize that it's best to leave whatever is inside the locker alone, Formora tells him no and repeats it for emphasis when she sees him considering using his sword to kill whatever was in the locker.

Victory by Endurance: In Chapter 6, Formora gets locked in a room aboard the Shadow Trespass with a Scorn Raider. Despite being more skilled than her opponent, Formora soon finds herself at a disadvantage as the Raider's Resurrective Immortality allows it to almost instantly recover from anything she throws at it. She realizes that if this keeps going on, she will wind up exhausting herself from constantly spending energy in her attacks. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), Formora avoids this outcome by freeing a Hive Ghost being kept prisoner in the same room. The Ghost then revives its Lightbearer Wizard who proceeds to make short work of the Raider.

Among the Cabal under Ikharos's command, the two given the most characterization are Val Vindica'aur and High Optus Indilic. Vindica'aur is a Centurion who acts as Ikharos's Number Two and is characterized as a naysayer of Ikharos's leadership, while Indilic is a powerful Psion sent by Caiatl to advise Ikharos on how to handle his troops.

Sinister Scraping Sound: While staying in an abandoned barn for the night, Formora hears the sound of metal scraping over stone outside and knows that it's from Cuaroc dragging its greatsword along the cobblestone path leading to the barn's entrance.

Exhausted Eye Bags: When Ikharos and Elsie find Formora at an old villa in Chapter 8, they notice that her eyes are shadowed over from not sleeping.

Attack Hello
 No stars in sight (Fanfic) / int_fbcd6465
comment
Attack Hello: The first thing the Exo Stranger does in Chapter 8 upon reuniting with Ikharos in Doru Araeba is to punch him in the face so hard that she would've shattered his jaw if he hadn't been wearing his helmet. This is followed by the Stranger furiously chewing him out for bringing a captive Hive Lightbearer with him to Kepler-186f.

You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious

comment
You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Elsie addressing Ikharos as Ike in Chapter 8 after his battle with Cuaroc. Up until that point, she had only addressed Ikharos by his full first name, and even specifically warned Formora against calling him Ike. So when she suddenly starts shouting "Ike!" to his face, it's clear that something has gone very wrong. This manages to snap Ikharos out of the magic-induced stupor he had fallen into as a result of getting exposed to the cognito-hazard surrounding the Rock of Kuthian.

Pet the Dog: Though it doesn't last long, Granny Skuldu is initially grateful towards Formora for freeing her from Ikharos's locker and convinces Agnisia to spare her life upon reviving her.

comment
Villainesses Want Heroes: The Nightmare of Dûl Incaru almost seems to have a crush to Ikharos, borderline flirting with him in their interactions and generally having No Sense of Personal Space. Ikharos doesn't reciprocate and wants nothing more than for her to leave him alone.
