Why thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it :) I just let them talk really, and the story grew up around them (Erestor talks a lot :|) Only having two characters to focus on was a good writing experience - I think it made the story more intimate maybe? Finding 'Ereg' was pure luck. I wanted a nickname for Erestor and I took letter combinations from his name and looked for something that would maybe fit --- I could not believe my luck when I tried eres and found ereg = holly.
