Description
And there you have it! This is technically the originally planned ending... but I think a little more of this story needs to be told, so I should have a four page epilogue dealing with the Worm up before the end of the month

For now, a little bit of an afterword!
I tried something a bit different in this by starting in the meat of the story instead of at the beginning (i.e., after the "catalyst" has already occurred). It had the advantage of avoiding a lot of exposition and creating a sense of intrigue, but it also leaves a lot of unanswered questions. I don't think I'm going to answer all of them right now, but I will give a little background info:
The elves of Dru (from what I gleaned from the information on the website) are a native race decimated by conquest and disease. It occurred to me that many of their written records and oral traditions may have been lost with the bulk of their race, leaving their modern descendants to try to build anew from incomplete pieces of the past. Living in the desert in close proximity to the dreaded Worms made me think that they likely adapted to live alongside them, perhaps not always peacefully, but in a way that uniquely suited both races
Unfortunately, this relationship was also likely lost after the conquest and the great plague.

So that's that! I also feel like I should give an honorable mention to Dune. I read and heartily enjoyed the book recently, and while this idea definitely isn't derivative of it, I feel like the spirit of Dune is in here somewhere (I haven't seen the movie, though. I've heard it's pretty bad ).

For those not familiar with the world of Dru, good info can be found here: thechroniclesofdru.smackjeeves.com/

Short comic for and 's Chronicles of Dru contest, found here:
TCoD Contest - 1 1/2 weeks left! Chronicles of Dru Contest
Concept
As some of you know, me and my sisters, DrMistyTang and ratscout have been creating short stories for a little world we call “The Chronicles of Dru”. It’s a series made up of short stories that are either in written/literature form or in comic form.
We are looking for new Chronicles from different voices to include in our series! Your task for this contest is to write a short story (or poem) or draw a short comic that could fit into this world. It's especially a good opportunity to writers who've always wanted to have something illustrated!
As a side note to writers: If you're worried about not placing because you don't have the best grammar, don't sweat. Me and my sisters are looking for great stories--we can always assist you in editing if you win.
