CALL TO ACTION

Right Wrongs. Do Mercies. Take Flight! 

______________

TALK TO YOUR KIDS

Courier's Call does not condone racism, hate or bigotry of any kind. We stand with Black Lives Matters on these issues and call upon everyone to demand changes to have all people stand on equal footing. No one deserves to be afraid or persecuted for just being who they are. If you wish to talk to your kids about racism and its damaging effects, this is a good resource. As is this.

Courier's Call features characters of many different genders who use a variety of pronouns. If you are not familiar with non-binary genders or neutral pronouns, this is a good resource for learning and talking about those concepts with your kids!

Now that we've completed our prologues for Kiran, Cici, and June... let us begin in earnest. Welcome to the third season of Skyjacks: Courier's Call! We join our intrepid courier heroes as they return to Thornvale at the end of their first full route aboard the Swiftwell Courier Service's Audron ships. They have successfully taken on new responsibilities, had new adventures and experiences, and they're returning a little older and a little wiser... so everything should be just as it's always been, but better. Right? Right.

Content Warnings: complex feelings about growing up

June says her farewells to the Burning Tails school and the friends she's made there during her jousting season, and prepares to return to Thornvale at the end of her route.

Content Warnings: perilous travel, thunderstorm, the dread of growing up, the inevitability of change

Having discovered more wingwhisperers at the Burning Tails School, June sneaks out after curfew for a clandestine meeting with some of them to discuss what it is that they share, how they learned what they know... and what dangers they may face.

Content Warnings: more tragic backstory, irrevocable transformations of both a spiritual and physical nature

While at the Burning Tails school, June encounters another real live wingwhisperer amongst her colleagues and seizes the opportunity to ask questions for the first time that aren't answered in her mother's journal...

Content Warnings: tragic backstory, parental death, a cool twentysomething with tattoos and purple hair, cursed real bird facts

Join us as we peek in on June Hymnal as she wraps up her time with the Burning Tails School (see also: Skyjoust) and how her time there has given her new opportunities to explore both her sporty side and her wingwhispering ability.

Content Warnings: organized sports, complicated teen feelings about growing up/identity/returning home after long absences

Kiran's time aboard the Grey Audron with their ghost girlfriend Alba continues, even as the Grey Audron heads back towards Thornvale, and feelings become even more intense and precious. Cici works with Fenton Eaves to create a plot to banish the shadow-monster-curse-thing to Map World (if she can!) and end her plight of self-consciousness.

Content Warnings: tender teen feelings, social awkwardness, wizard stuff, sacrifice

While briefly reunited in Big Sky, Kiran, Cici, and June continue to catch up about their lives since the Audron Maelstrom separated them over a month ago.

A few more weeks pass, and the Courier trio reunites temporarily for the first time since Audron Prom in the city of Big Sky, just following the jousting match between the Barmwhich Perrymen and the Burning Tails Academy. June, delighted to see Cici and Kiran again, joins them at the local steak house for a meal and a catch up before returning to her duties at the Burning Tails Academy.

Content Warnings: public awkwardness/minor embarrassment, discussion of dating, eavesdropping adults
