I rather enjoyed the magical journey for Merlin’s staff, with its various detours.
This is why I wish you’d finish more of your stories, Belmont. There’s always these references to the interesting, magical places you’ve been and people you know and we the reader never actually get to see it for ourselves.
I do wish there’d been a bit more of a fight in the last chapter there before Jeremy was de-possessed. I believe the original plan called for some proton sword-based violence there, and I was probably supposed to be the one writing it, but at the end, I figured it was better to just get the story out already than indulge my desire to give my character more to do. I was also gonna make the scene with the freezing come off somewhat more deliberate, but again, decided to abstain in the favor of timeliness.
Maybe for the Director’s Cut one day…
