FINAL NOTES:

The story of Mikhail Sergeivich Dragoslav will continue in the Second Part of the Dragoslav Cycle. I included so many Mobians of different ethnicities because I felt the need, and the desire, to expand upon the notion that Mobius isn't that dissimilar from Earth. If it has English and French speaking Mobians, then why not Arabic chracters too? Or Russians? I sadly was not able to give each character as much of a voice as would have liked to, but I did want to put out the premise that there were more Mobians than those that just spoke English and one pseudo-French speaking Mobian. I will introduce future stories that involve other characters, not as a token of "political correctness" but out of a desire to bring more cultures and languages into the fold. Thank you.

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost,

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by frost,

From ashes a fire shall be woken,

Alight from the shadows shall spring,

Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,

The crownless shall again be king.

-Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
