This is fun. I'll be sticking around for the next exciting episode.

It's fun to reimagine the story, even though it's quite a challenge to transpose some of the events to a fantasy world without lightsabers or spaceships. I'm tempted to do ANH and ROTJ after this one to fill in the lore.

It's the best type of fanfic. Taking the story already told and putting your own spin on it.

Lucan, Benian, Hanric, Lira. Names changed just enough to protect the innocent and the guilty.

Strangly, it's better than the original. The villain more natural and organic. The magic more interesting, the relationships more gripping.

Brother Lucias (See what I did?) could learn a thing or two from reading this.

I have great respect for the venerable Brother Lucias. His stories were built upon those that came before, just as mine are built upon his. ✨
