I always hoped that Lord Foucant would receive the help he called for when his guard rushed from the Great Hall while he listened to Gawdawfel. I also hoped Colyne would incorporate into the story well as a childhood friend, now a powerful sea captain. Hartfelt's army was scattered and tired from the other recent battles.

The meeting in the South for the SOB was not to engage them fully, but to lure them to the shoreline. It could only work if Hartfelt or Gawdawfel actually saw Alphonse and chased him. Alphonse should have been hung at the gallows. Turned out to be a good strategy for the SOB to use Alphonse as bait. But that was their plan from the start.

I've had this complete story in drafted sections since late last year deciding whether to freewrite or turn it into a more alien art hive project. I knew it was going to stretch over 10 chapters and would be a lot of work at 2K words or more each.

Only one chapter left to conclusion. Thanks for staying with the story. I'm glad you've enjoyed it thus far. I have watched both GOT and HOTD.

I don't think I'll attempt a saga such as this again soon, not after my 6-part Omnipotent Being In Female No. 2 - EUGENIA series last year. and now my 15-part Uprising.

Thanks for your visit, analysis and support. I appreciate it.
