Every story begins with a spark. For me, that spark came from a game I played on the Playstore called Swordash. I didn't expect much going into it, just something to pass the time. But as I played, something about its energy, its style, and its atmosphere stuck with me. I found myself imagining characters beyond the game, battles that stretched further than what the screen showed, and a world that begged to be expanded upon in my own way. That's how the seed of this story was planted.
I'll be honest—this isn't a polished masterpiece. It's not the most carefully plotted tale or the cleanest-written work you'll read. This story is, in many ways, messy. It's raw. It's filled with experimentation, scattered thoughts, sudden shifts, and unexpected turns. But that's exactly what makes it special to me. It represents a version of myself that dared to create without hesitation. I didn't want to hold myself back by trying to make it perfect. I wanted to enjoy the process, to let the story unfold in whatever direction felt right, even if it meant stumbling along the way.
Writing this taught me a lot. I learned how freeing it is to simply start. I learned how important it is to trust your ideas, even when they feel chaotic or underdeveloped. And I learned that sometimes, the best way to grow is to just put your work out there and see how it's received. Whether this story ends up loved, criticized, or even ignored, I'll take something from that response and use it to improve. Every reaction is part of the lesson.
So, if you're here reading this, thank you. Truly. Thank you for giving this story your time and attention. I hope it entertains you, surprises you, maybe even inspires you in the same way I was inspired to write it. But even if it doesn't, I'm still grateful. Because this is more than just a story—it's a step forward in my creative journey. And if nothing else, I'll always look back at this as the moment I chose to believe in my ideas and put them into the world.
Here's to messy beginnings, wild inspiration, and the courage to create.
