"The game of chess is much like a sword fight. You must think first before you move." - dialogue from the film Shaolin and Wu Tang.
A Company of Moors was starting to drag too long. It was finely written but starting to run 40-50 pages over where the first large story arc needed to end. The events were nowhere near being summed up. I decided to go back and re-write the events spanning three chapters and narrow them down to one, all summed up between two characters playing chess. Each set of events represent a move that the two characters reflect upon. Now on to the final chapter for the first large story arc.
I should have 300 pages to play with to tell the rest of this tale.
