God, such a good piece. I love the exploration here into the birth of the Magpies as a GoI. It makes me so happy to see this group flourish into something a lot more concrete recently. I love when the Library as a world is expanded upon, and this piece is the perfect example of it, connecting many threads into one cohesive setting that feels alive; breathed in.
Love the way you interpreted my little Magpie friend for this piece, and also this new theory about the dragon; love the mix of eastern and western mythology for the dragons here. Again, very cohesive world that you present here.
Couldn't feel prouder of having the luck of inspiring such an excellent story. Easy +1~
