Happy Thanksgiving! The Protector Accepts The Vigilante's Challenge!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Today, I wrote a beautiful scene between Sandra and the character codenamed "The Protector." I had never really planned to explore the Protector's character, because she was just supposed to be in the backstory to "Black Swan Rises: Fionnuala." However, that would have been a mistake. The Protector is quickly developing into one of my best and most complex characters. In particular, her rivalry with the Vigilante has a long and far-reaching impact that will transform the entire series, even beyond this first trilogy. I continued and wrote a scene where the Vigilante throws down the gauntlet to the Protector through her messenger, the Consigliere. It needs some polishing, but the tension is great.

Enjoy your turkey, everyone.
