Return of Rowen: Author's Notes
Motivation :
I decided to write this story after reading Aurora's 'A Simple Wish'. I
thought that it was an excellent story. However, I did not like the
ending, especially since Rowen is my favorite character. At the time, I
was trying to come up with an idea for my first fan fiction. I decided
that the end of Aurora's story would be a perfect place to start. I reread
the story a few times to find a way to connect mine to hers. Eventually I
found one. In 'A Simple Wish' Rowen's mother is abusing him(verbally for
the most part), and Rowen makes the wish that he could have the family life
that he has always wanted. However, this wish costs him his friends,
health, and armor. Rowen still has his memories. This is where my story
comes in. I found it interesting that Rowen still had remembered Ryo,
Kento, Cye, and Sage, even though everything else was gone. For me this
fact was the basis of my story. I then had to choose between two story
lines. One in which everything turns out to be an illusion created by the
Dynasty, and another in which losing his friends and armor was temporary(I
may publish another continuation based on this idea in the future). As you
know, the first story line won and here we are.

General Notes :
I have tried to stick to facts, parts of the Ronin Warriors/YST story. In
other words, you will not see a slew of new characters or changes in the
history of the characters. There are only three places I have taken a
liberty of changing the original story. First, I have introduced a new
character as the ruler of the Dynasty. Second, I have delayed the capture
of Kayura by Talpa to until she is 15 (I remember reading somewhere she was
taken from the village when she was 8). The purpose of this is to
facilitate a flashback which will occur near the end of the story. Third,
Rowen and Kayura are going to be a couple in my story. Other people have
used this and I liked it, so that's what is going to happen in my story.
That's all I have to say right now. If you have any questions or comments,
