Really enjoyed your unique take on the writing prompt! Quite optimistic despite the setting! And clever title! πŸ˜‰

Mine is turning out to be... significantly darker so far... πŸ˜…

Thanks! I was really worried about how β€œquiet” this one turned out to be. But I’m glad you liked it!

Yeah, I was thinking about going dark but I think that also ties in with my overall post-apocalyptic view β€” I don’t think warlords would last very long after a world ending event. Those kind of people usually live and die by the sword. 😊

Haha, true - that's why I had to give mine superpowers to explain why he was able to gather enough power and resources to even host such a grand race in a post-apocalyptic world in the first place without getting killed waaaay before that. πŸ˜†
