Excerpt:
It happened after the mighty battle between good and evil. After dark and light magicks clashed on a mortal battlefield. After sons betrayed fathers and fathers betrayed brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law betrayed no one in particular.
It happened after the warriors returned home. After they kissed their wives and were sent out back to brush their teeth.
It happened after a royal wedding with all the trimmings. After the dashing, triumphant prince took an Elven princess as his bride.
It happened after the happily ever after.
