I'm kinda depressed that I killed off Shaqmar and Layla and am kinda torn. A part of me wants to backtrack and make that epilogue (or at least the last paragraph) a dream...

To those who have gotten round to reading it, what do you think? Should I do it? Or should I just leave it?

Dammit Kho we talked about this. You love Qaseer! How could anybody not love Qaseer?

Now Qaseer is gonna have to be the guy that lives to see the Victor's prophecy come true. In the mean time, he has a war to fight with all those other guys who Shaqmar pissed off!

Edit: And yes I was pissed when I read the IC post only to see your final addition where Shaqmar dies, but you know. My state of being pissed just goes to show that you wrote it well enough to garner emotional investment, which is no small feat. Good writing never has happy endings anyways
