Wow! The captive prince - found, rescued and ready to start taking on his evil uncle, all in a matter of paragraphs!

I think my favourite part of this chapter is the dungeon security system. Reading magic words written on a piece of paper conveniently left outside the door? Tut tut! Surely they must have guessed someone might come along and read it aloud!

As for the prince's backstory, I don't know whether I'm more disappointed that I didn't explain why Sashtan's father and uncle both had such a downer on talking animals and mythical beasts, or impressed that he had a backstory at all!

Please do feel free to leave any comments in the Prince Sashtan forum. But be gentle - I was only young!
