Commissioned piece by Niahtiart who did a splendid job and blew me away I thought this was a fun concept and it turned out better than I envisioned. That’s what’s wonderful about working with such talented artists. I hope this one makes your day a little brighter
This month’s Malorie’s Peak Prompt is: The Road Not Taken.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
‘The Road Not Taken’, Robert Frost
We often encounter our characters at a turning point in their lives. What if Alanna had gone to the convent? What if Daine hadn’t met Onua? What if Kel had refused to be put on probation?
Then, there are the paths the story might have gone down. What if Yolane’s rebellion had succeeded? What if Roger had beaten Alanna in their duel? What if Sarai had become queen?
Of course, this poem is actually Robert Frost teasing an indecisive friend, so feel free to take the prompt as literally as you wish!
