(A prequel to Disaster Sword Princess. Readers who haven't read it can start here, while those who've read the original can see things from another angle. This prequel to the reboot is a brand-new story.)
The birth of something doesn't necessarily mark the beginning of a new story, but it always marks the end of what came before.
If something is lost, then find it again. If that means losing everything else along the way, so be it. Knowing what to give up is often the most important resolve of all.
