Ain’t As Easy As It Looks

SPOILER ALERT

Or not. This isn’t really a spoiler shot for the series because so much of what was sketched out here continued to morph as the writing progressed.

Disclaimer: No characters, settings, or plot elements portrayed or not portrayed in this sketch are confirmed to have survived or not survived the end of Rootstock Saga.

All these carefully woven threads. So many puzzle pieces that had to tie together for a satisfying ending. Ah, the webs we weave.

Personally, I think I nailed the landing in Heart of a Chalyn. (July 2020)
