Hello, Paradox here. This is my Epilogue, the post where the characters take a seat and I, the author, get to speak. This is my post where I recap the ending story, show a tidbit of what's to come, and (most importantly) appreciate everyone that has--or still does--read my work. I intend to do this. Every once in a while, I will write a story that was nowhere as good in comparison to others, or nowhere as good as it could have been. [i][u]Strength of the Pack: Shattered Suns[/u][/i], [i][u]Lives of ARC: Volume II[/u][/i], and now, [i][u]The Guardian Thief[/u][/i] are a list of examples. I want to say I tried my best, and at the start, I did; but once I could see that I had no idea where to take this story, I struggled just to finish it. That was very poor on my part, and I'm sorry. Despite all of this, thank you to every one of you, that has stuck by to read [i][u]The Guardian Thief[/u][/i]. It was a rough one, I know, but you all stood by me nonetheless. [i][u]The Guardian Thief[/u][/i] was an experiment. Could I make the protagonist(s) bad? Could I, also, make these bad protagonists enjoyable? I do believe I have. Avilon-3, and Harkon Avilleon were such characters. Neither were evil; neither were pulling the strings which led to the downfall of the world, or anything. However, both had agendas and personal goals which took them down a journey that was, in no way, good. Avilon-3 was an interesting concept; character, not so much. Since we don't have Fallen Guardians, I did the next best thing that I could accept. I created an exo, who dreamed of being an Eliksni. As an Eliksni, all he wanted to do was ascend his House, the House of Thieves, to greatness. To do this, Avilon had to do some things that most would not be proud of, but he did it without hesitation. Where Avilon did seem to be the villain who wanted to do objectively good things, Harkon was very different. He was an interesting character, in his own right. A hunter obsessed with bones for armor, and knives as adopted children, harkon is in no way, good or bad. He is inclined to do whatever benefits him more, or literally, whatever strikes his fancy at the moment. With everything said and done, did I learn? Yes. I learned to never rewrite [i][u]The Guardian Thief[/u][/i]. *Nervously laughs*. All joking aside, I did learn that it is possible to write a story with main characters striving for something less heroic, and more selfish. Honestly, that is more important to me than having a quality story (though, having both would be nice). Now, I could improve on my mistakes and try again at some point. With [i][u]The Guardian Thief[/u][/i] coming to an end, I am left with [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1371758/220339313/0/0]Strength of the Pack: Battle of Two Towers[/url], the third installment of the adventures of Alan Moores and the Wolf Pack; [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1371758/224310262/0/0]Protectors of Light[/url], a story of two people from the Golden Age learning to live in a world with Light; and [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1371758/224555864/0/0]Timeless[/url], a story of a titan venturing into an unknown Vex stronghold. Once these other three stories come to an end, I am still planning [i][u]Daybreak Wars[/u][/i]. Sadly, it will remain a secret until it's release. ;) Until then... [i]Keep fighting, Guardians[/i]
