Chapter 19: The Folk That Dwell
An Introduction To That Which Is To Come
To say the story stops there would be a preposterous idea. By no means! I have far more to tell you and for you to discover in the Realm of Euphora. Its creatures, its nature, its characters, its imagery—there is far more than meets the eye aside from what you have read thus. Like what came of Nomad’s dream? What of Nobaph? Does Beelstow ever overcome Lerchah? What occurred to Grevious during his slip that made him so terrified? What kind of Karier was he before?
There are many aspects of Euphora to still be spoken about, of which I leave you with two: the story of the Shrooblin and a little more upon that brief mention of Beezleton. Keep in mind: the intent is that everything has a beginning and an end. It is for that “end” that one must keep reading the Grand Series that I am yet unfolding. The first book, The Grand Attraction, serves as a foundation of that great hall into which all stories lead. That hall then leads to the greatest attraction of all—the door at its end. But to get there, you have to walk (or in the case of actuality, you have to read and imagine). For there are many things leading to that hall that need to be told, and a good many of the hall’s doors that need to be opened. Fauldon’s Dream and the Karier of the Task is but one of those doors.
So I leave you with the continuation of that which means far more than written in this book. Some may have wished for the sequel, but that will come all in good time. There are things I must speak, words I must write, characters I must introduce, and stories I must tell before you learn of their true extent. Thus, I challenge you: stay with me on this journey through the mind of fiction. The imagination defies explanation, so why define it? Such words are the fuel to my writing. Let no mind be bound by two eyes. Let no story be bound by one character. Let no character be bound by one door.
May you come to enjoy this as much as I have and still am! For many questions remain—and I look forward to elaborating upon them.
