This is something of an "Author's Note" chapter. If you are uninterested in that the story begins in the next chapter.
This entire book is something of an exercise in hypocrisy for me. If there is one thing I can't stand it's other people writing my characters. They always get one subtle thing wrong, which gnaws at me until I can't read the work at all. In addition I have a general dislike of retellings of game plots, simply because I played the game with my character and I have my own vision of how events progressed. And yet this entire book is a retelling of a game, using two of my friend's characters.
So why did I write it? Part of it was I needed a subject for NaNo. Part of it was I needed to write it for myself. The setting of the game draws me, but the story screams at me to tweak it to make more sense. But in the end, like all writing, I can't nail down an exact reason for why I put pen to paper.
Thus if you, like me, wish to keep your own alternate selves adventures alive in your heart, I apologize. However, if you are one of the people who can read the adventures of others without your own ego insisting it be changed (or just one of my followers who knows nothing of Mabinogi), I thank you and hope my writings bring you some amusement.
This story is complete to the end of G1, so it will be updated quite quickly.
Anyways, onward to what you came here for.
