Magic with Side Effects (#1)
Marie Gottmothercus was a junior planetary anthropologist. After graduation, she was assigned to a tiny kingdom on a remote planet. Now and then, Marie Gottmothercus used her wand to help people. She became known to the locals as the Fairy Godmother. Back on Zorcon, nobody paid much attention. Then the anomalies began to appear.
Magic Misspoken (#2)
The junior planetary anthropologist should have been careful when she muttered, especially since she was holding her wand. The chain of events from her unguarded words had consequences that would ripple through history. Not that she cared.
Old Magic Awakens (#3)
Alerted to a problem at the troll bridge, the Fairy Godmother dashed out of her cottage. She left her untrained kitchen android unattended. She did not think about what could happen if children visited her cottage and met her android. As the resulting ecological disaster developed, the Elders took notice. Then things got complicated.
Magic Reprogrammed (#4)
When an untrained kitchen android started wrecking the forest, Elders rushed to the scene. They invoked Elder Magic to set things right. Then a curious android wearing black jeans and a T-shirt walked out of the Fairy Godmother’s cottage. Now the Fairy Godmother wanted her android back, but he had been changed. As the Oberlanders got to know Charley, they realized that it would take a village to raise an android.
Earth Magic (#5)
When the Fairy Godmother went to check on her wayward kitchen android, she found him at the Three Bears’ Cottage. He was engaged in a punning game and being socialized by the bear family. Charley then went off with his friends on a mischievous misadventure involving a troll, a damaged foot bridge, and a hidden valley. Meanwhile, Cinderella needed to meet with an Ancient to be tested for her readiness to begin Elder training. The Fairy Godmother was not concerned about such weighty matters. She just wanted her android back.
Fire Magic (#6)
Cinderwan had just begun her Elder training in the Earth Element when a voice in the fireplace flames spoke to her. The Fire Ancient was calling her to come to where the sky meets the sea. The Phoenix offered to accompany her on the journey. He neglected to mention that he planned to jump into a volcano with her. Or that she would need to reclaim her own voice. Only then could she begin to understand her higher purpose.
Water Magic (#7)
The Fairy Godmother gleefully promised Santa’s bored Elves a mountain for their ski resort at the North Pole. It was just one more Good Deed. Perhaps it would restore the planetary anthropologist’s reputation. Meanwhile, Hansel, Gretel, BC and Charley took Marie’s new household android on an adventure to an alpine lake. The kids, the androids, and Cinderwan were all startled when a water beast rose from the lake and roared. More was at stake than Cinderwan realized when she began wielding her new Elder powers.
Air Magic (#8)
Sol #3 seemed to be a remote and backwards planet. Nothing ever happened there that would be dangerous for Zorcon’s space traveling civilization. Then anomalies started appearing including things that resembled fairy tales. Zorcon’s computing and power grids crashed, and an android went rogue. Oversight, Zorcon’s powerful security agency, became alarmed. It sent an expedition to investigate. When its starship emerged from a wormhole, it collided with asteroids that should not be there. Meanwhile on Sol #3, Cinderwan was just completing her Elder training in the Water Element when Moriah, the Air Ancient, decided to test her. Handling the asteroid crisis would be a worthy challenge. Never mind that succeeding would require skills beyond those of any living Elder.
Space and Time Magic (#9)
The Zorconians had tapped into the core of their sun to harvest energy for everything they did. Now their sun was ready to explode. Zorcon’s desperate High Council decided to send an armed fleet to establish a settlement on Sol #3. Meanwhile in Oberland Kingdom, a crone appeared in Cinderwan’s mirror. Cinderwan remembered facing Baba Yaga in the woods as a small child. In the greatest test of her life, she would revisit her childhood experiences. She would need all of her training to meet a challenge in the metaverse. And the help of her friends.
