AN: While writing this story I learnt a great deal of things, and realized a great deal of mistakes I made here could be improved upon. So while "Monsters and Maidens" is finished, the story is continued on Alchimia Rex, implementing a tighter narrative (less meandering, less pov switching, etc), and all the other tweaks and tricks.
