Spring 20, Year 2

When Beep left the farm house, he was met by the Witch's henchman goblin. Specifically, former henchman. Apparently the witch wasn't happy her guard fled when faced with a monster and fired him. Now, he seemed to have toughened up enough to confront Beep and blame him for his unemployment. The goblin fucked off just in time for Magnus to show up, informing Beep he had something to help him on his return home.

An elixir, one that would increase Beep's internal magic well and allow him to make use of a very specific, and powerful, magical tool. In the Backwoods, Magnus cleared a pathway to a clearing, and together they turned it into a Nexus. A place untouched by time or the seasons, and could be linked to several areas, allowing Beep to warp around the valley with ease. It would cut down on time walking around, since it's become clear to the townsfolk Beep rarely flew unless necessary. The first warp set up was to the Wizard's tower, where his own Nexus was set up in a hallway. One Beep recognised as the wizard tower between Pelican Town and Grampleton, in the middle of the massive field. That wizard had a sign "by appointment only" so had never met that wizard. It was whatever. At least they didn't care Beep had been using the fields for a tree farm and for fish farming.

The past few days had several people noticing Beep's sudden decrease in thickness, and his large ears caught them whispering about looking out for a fawn. Marlon and Magnus knew it was more likely to be an egg, but Beep never confirmed or denied anything. They would never see this eggs. Even though it was a lifeless dud, it was far more valuable than any previous egg Beep had laid previous.

Roughly 5lb and slightly larger than an ostrich egg, the shell (soft as leather when laid) was as hard as metal. The stress of Beep's arrival last spring had put it in a biomagical stasis, one the egg was naturally in over winter as it stored energy, but prevented it from achieving the growth spurt it would typically have during spring with the abundance of food. That meant this egg still held the essence of Beep's mates (something he would not expand upon) and could use it as an anchor to them! And since his dud eggs were pure magic in their albumen and yolk, he didn't need to worry about it spoiling. No time table to worry about as he spent the past few days researching what he was able to with his limited collection of books he had with him when he arrived here.

Though he should probably think what to say if anyone asked about his egg/offspring. They couldn't know the value it held. He would tell Marlon and Magnus he had eaten it. Returned the energy to himself. Maybe Marlon could spread around the townsfolk that the fawn was sickly and perished. That way nobody would snoop around Avalon Farm to attempt to find a non-existent new life. The thought of baring new life made Beep's stomach twist in extreme nausea, so he got up and stretched. He will return to his research tomorrow.

Things different from canon; (AU???)
Gramps never had an heir, or they never show/ed up.
Stardew Valley Expanded; new maps, new NPCs, new events, a LOT of new stuff.
The new “Farmer” is just a Weird Ass Deer. NPCs will respond/react accordingly.

This is my first time playing Stardew Valley Expanded. Please no spoilers if you play SVE.
