Inspired by a number of stories, including Drawing Sword, this story follows the author from a third-person perspective as they explore a completely reimagined novel.
This story does not vilify either side, but focuses on particular aspects. It’s my first time writing in this genre, so the pacing may drag in places. Please bear with its many shortcomings. The story borrows elements from Drawing Sword, though some of its focus differs. If that isn’t to your taste, I can only apologize.
I’m not good at writing introductions, so please head straight to the story. Thank you.
