Classic villain territory for a mythic tale if ever I heard of one such place, which I have, as I ramble.

Nice job on the scene description.

It’s been a busy few days, so sorry for the silence! I’m very glad to see you return to this story and I enjoyed the scene you set. I hope I helped get the story rolling again.

Oh, I’ve been busy too. I’m a grad student now and all that. I have a number of story ideas I just don’t have time to write.
