For those wondering, this is the best way for me to talk about why i wrote this the way I did.
First off, everything was the way it was for a reason, and a good reasons too. I intentionally kept you in the dark about the antagonist to get you thinking about who it would be, i left a lot of what ifs so you would be forced to make your own story for what happened if you wanted to.
In short, this was to make you think.
It also held elements to show how even someone who is feared by many is still only mortal. In the end it wasn't a clash of gods that killed Solar Flare, it was the fact that she was caught off guard. No one could hit the fortress, it was impenetrable, but one spell made it through the shield and that was it. to put this into perspective, and i'll probably end up on a watchlist or two for this statement, it's like a sniper and the president of the US, one shot is all it would take. Careful planning would be needed, but one shot and the world is changed.
So all i ask of you, the reader, is that you build the world this story has presented, I won't, i'm finished writing this world. If you write it down and submit it as fanfiction, I'd love to read it. If you simply sit back in your chair and think 'this is how i think it went' that's fine too, but look at the situation provided, and create. toss me questions below, but i'll say this, i won't be saying anything about the story's before or after, that's up to you to dream up.
