When it comes to compliments, my ears never tire of hearing them and my eyes never get sore of seeing them. And to be honest, while the ideas for this writing had been cooking for the past week, I wrote this in the same time frame as the Freljord piece: on the spot.

In truth, I purposely made it so that Zanagi was not Ao Shin. I too had thought of adding him in, but I felt that it would create conflict in what I would need to write to fit to the great dragon's descriptions. Thus, I chose to go with a seemingly lesser god, Zanagi, who is probably a cousin to Ao Shin, but protects a more specific part of Ionia. I might make connections, but as I have mentioend before, I'm not fond of tying in champions to distinct canonical characters just for familiarity. It makes the world feel a bit too small and the writing a bit lazy in my opinion. While making a new character can have some losses, if done write, it can show the prowess of the writer.

Yet, the idea of "bringing Ao Shin back from the grave" is not a bad idea...

Do what you need to do. You already informed me in the past week of how there will be a new innate, so I'll be able to wait.
