Well, my dear readers, this is the final chapter of this second saga!
From here on out, we'll be diving into major conflicts and even grander storylines. I'll leave the title of the next arc at the end for you to see. I truly enjoyed this second saga—not just writing it, but reading it, too. Now, for the third part, we'll be stepping a bit further away from the North, even venturing as far as Essos in a few chapters.
I'd like to ask for a suggestion: you see, I'm not quite sure what to do with Ser Jorah's character. It would be simply impossible for him to pull off what he did without getting caught immediately in this new North. So, I'm torn between altering his backstory or just making him act like a fool—which, let's face it, he is. I think I'll go with the "fool" route, because we still need someone to report back to Dany on the state of the North—whether to make her fear it or underestimate it.
Now, a quick heads-up: there will be a brief pause in chapter releases for a few days. Or maybe not... it depends entirely on me, which is never a good sign, hahaha! I want to refine and flesh out the existing outline for this new saga, but don't worry—it won't take long. I'll be back to posting by Tuesday morning at the latest.
One more thing—and this is a minor spoiler, but I need your input. At the end of this new saga, Catelyn was supposed to be captured for her actions (I won't say what they were just yet!). She would be held as a "hostage" in the North, serving essentially as a maid and a sex toy for Arawyn and his wives—not as a concubine. But to be honest, that plotline isn't really sitting right with me anymore, and I was thinking about just killing her off for good 😅
😅😅😅. Which option do you think is better?
Oh, and one more thing: I'm going to update the image chapter and try to include all the main characters. There will be some spoilers, but at least we'll have an overview of everything.
That's all for now. See you in the next chapter! Leave your thoughts in the comments—preferably before the next release, as I'll be deleting this note after posting the new chapter.
Oh, and here is the name of the next saga:
Arc III: The Awakening of the Dragons and the War of the Empire.
