After 100k words the novel "Dire Joy" is complete in its first draft. It ended with a montage detailing our lives in the little town until Bear and I died of old age. Joy stayed in town until her 107th year and left for less crowded places unknown.
Our next story starts with a shipwreck on a rocky island Southwest of Leilon. Bear, Gwen and Summer (Ulla) but not the same Summer as your Summer exactly, are in this one. Summer's more Ulla in this one, not human but the true dragon hybrid. Though she does get to keep the Ring of Summer, preventing her aging and giving her immunity to cold. In this timeline She's still 10 in form but older in mentality, 14.
I will be lock-merged with her so I still get to have fun, she's a really fun character to play, which is how it feels to lock-merge.
In this year, Freya had just arrived in Baldur's Gate after leaving the Feywild and won't be in Neverwinter for 4 more years, Ashley has yet to arrive to the material plane. Probably about 2 years before she arrives near the southern edge of Neverwinter Wood.
This Bear isn't the same Bear and he may not be a ranger or hunter this time, right now they're all level 0 and unclassed though Summer will obviously be a magic user, Gwen likes being a bard, but we'll see.
Right now they're washed up on a rocky beach with the mainland just a few miles East but there is a fast moving channel and dangerous coral between them. Gwen could technically fly across carrying Summer though just barely.
This island is otherwise impossible to land with ships of any size due to its strong channel currents and coral reefs on the lee side and the steep rocky cliffs on the winward side, battered by 10-30ft waves constantly.
Now they must explore and decide their fates!

Summer is Gwen's Attendant as she's a royal from Altus who escaped her guilded cage to seek her independence. They're all pretty much left with only the clothes they have bit Gwen had a necklace of fast casting and Bear has his amulet of unknown power.
I can't wait to see how this goes! The goal of this one is to get to level 10 by any means.
