The Last Hero · 3:55pm Jul 16th, 2021
Not the last chapter--we still have about five more to go after this one--but the Last Hero is the true emotional climax of the entire narrative.
I chugged this one out in a few days. It's a very long one, and it deals with some pretty heavy stuff. I had to figure out pacing problems, placement of certain scenes, natural character choices and reactions. How long do we dwell on a certain topic of grief, joy, interaction, or conflict? I am pretty satisfied with the result, though.
We're still dealing with all the fallout from the Battle of Heaven and Earth. There's reunions and tears--happy, sad, and angry. Major character death. And finally, resolution and answers to a nagging question about the Elements of Harmony. Perhaps there's hope after all.
To be released today.
