@Zaroph I have read a few stories where the action is introduced first, and backstory and background details are explained along the way, through flashbacks and dialogue etc, so I'm assuming this story will be like that. Yeah, to me it looks like "two random people randomly meet for no pre-decided reason, and get into a fight because one has anger management issues, then one wins but some mercenary dude (I'm not sure exactly why he is watching or why he is after Coroda, but whatever) steps in, takes down the winner, and walks off with his target. Then some other character steps in once the mercenary leaves, (idk if she was watching the whole time too or what, if she was then why didn't she step in and stop all the fighting, since she seems like a definite hero to me) and saved the victor from certain death, and oh so cliche mysteriously ditches him right afterwards. The end for now." I'm not trying to be mean or satirical or anything, but without added explanation of this encounter later on in the plot it won't make any sense. but there are a lot of books that start out similarly to this, so we can wait and see what happens next. BTW I have read part 2; I'm just summarizing this first installment.
