Retconned Information in Chapter Twenty-Three
2 years ago
Hello all,
The vast majority of the scene taking place in Chapter Twenty-Three of Vengeance of Fire will be another flashback mixed with a dream of Aegerter. In the past chapters of this book, it's only been alluded to as Dörig's time as a galley slave, but only glossed over information about his time in Dragora. Similar to the flashback in the previous chapter, this dream Aegerter experiences demonstrates his father's final experience in the silver mines of Dragora before he is sold away as a galley slave, underlining the despair and torment he has undergone that has molded him into the villainous creature we now seem him as.
This scene has been especially moving for me to write, because we have constantly read about Aegerter's shame for not being able to stand up to the injustice that was enacted upon his father and mother as they were taken away to be slaves in Dragora. But he rectified this shame by becoming a knight-errant of Genesium and saving Isarte from Zuria's clutches, embarking on a path of good. However, his father has experienced unimaginable horrors that have molded him into the polar opposite of his son. Additionally, the agony endured by the two foxes Dörig attempts to assist is palpable through every line of text, and I found myself becoming very emotional in the writing process. I hope it can strike a similar chord within readers to demonstrate the severity of the events that have affected Aegerter's father.
You might ask why I didn't just explore the burning of Agathar from Dörig's point of view, but as we have already had Aegerter describe this event in The Rubber Princess, I saw little need to do so again. That being the case, recounting a similar yet equally emotional experience in this chapter seems as if it will serve the same purpose without recounting a redundant event.
Moreover, it will also showcase just one of the many abuses Dörig underwent that demonstrates his suffering as equal to Zuria's first life, making him a worthy pawn to be used by the forces of wicked rubbermancy and the demonic entities that control them.
I've also made additional edits to past lines of text or incorporated different information to make mention of this flashback you will read about, so as not to totally blindside new readers. Feel free to go back to the prior chapters that feature Dörig to see any of these changes.
