Dear self,
The Nyx books ARE NOT EPIC FANTASY.
This means that you CANNOT WRITE A FUCKING PROLOGUE FOR BLACK DESERT.
That is all, thnx.
EDIT LATER: I’ve just realized that Black Desert really is THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK of the series. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. I promise, tho – no Ewoks in number 3. I am now going to go and put this not-prologue back into the book.
