Hello and good day! I hope you enjoyed this story; parts of it went a little far afield, I think, but I tried to stay as close to the main story as possible. In actuality, the first chapter was meant to be a one-shot, but it was too much fun to write. I also had to rewrite the battle with the Black Dragon because, frankly, I wrote several versions where everybody died.
There are probably some areas that don't make any sense...I have a clear idea of what's happening in my mind, but maybe I didn't convey it correctly on paper. If you have any questions about what's going on in part of the story, drop a comment. I've never responded to any before, but now the story is complete I'm happy to clarify things.
I've got a few ideas for a follow up that explains the ending events in a little greater detail, maybe following Aria and her grandkids...I don't know, that's probably too cliché. What do you think?
Thank you again for reading!
