I really don't recall what inspired me to write the "Comrades In Arms" trilogy. I started three years ago, and many things happened in my life since then, so little details like these get lost. I know that part of it came from noticing a lack of fanfiction about the early adventures of Dragonmaster Dyne. There were some about Dyne's final battle, about how and why Ghaleon hooked up with the Vile Tribe, but none that were directly about the Four Heroes. So I decided to fill the gap.
Of course, there was also a bit of sheer ambition. I don't consider myself to be an expert on any RPG, no matter how many times I play it or how many secrets I uncover. When I first began writing fanfics, in fandom circles, I always felt a bit intimidated by the so-called "fanboys" who knew their respective RPGs like the back of their hand. I've long outgrown such notions of being intimidated by said fans, but when I first took up the pen and began writing Lunar fanfiction, that uneasiness was running strong. So for me to attempt to write such an elaborate story and create a back-story for the Lunar series took some nerve on my part at the time I began.
In a way, I'm sad it's all over now. I will miss being able to work on these characters. There's an infinite amount of possible fanfics I can write featuring these characters. But after this, any other ideas for a story about the Four Heroes would just seem anti-climactic. But I am glad that after all this time, I'm able to deliver on my promise to complete the trilogy. Also, now I can move on to other works, including more Lunar fanfiction.
I know I bring this up at the beginning of every volume of "Comrades In Arms," but it really would not have been possible for me to continue writing this story without the reviews and support I have received from my readers. If not for you, I never would have completed the trilogy. So once again, a very hearty "thank you" to all who helped make this story happen.
