Well, since I let the first part out last week, here’s Part Two.

Obviously, it owes a huge debt to Rick Riordan and Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett.

I’m really not sure how this story came to be, but I knew that even though it’s a well-trod path (see above), it was fun to write. I could try to see what happens next, if you’d like.

Please feel free to let me know if you think I should keep going.
