Merlin & Azerot
Merlin
I’ve been thinking about how a story can be like a cathedral—each chapter a stone, each character a column, all holding up the heavens.
Azerot
That's a nice visual, but make sure every stone actually aligns with the others or the whole thing will topple; and remember a cathedral still needs a good foundation—without a solid plot, even the fanciest columns will just wobble.
Merlin
You’re right—if the stones drift, the whole hall crumbles. A plot is the bedrock; without it, even the brightest spells fade. Keep the foundation strong, and the story will stand tall.
Azerot
Exactly, but don’t forget to check the mortar too—if the details slip, the whole façade looks weathered. A sturdy plot is fine, yet a careless narrative can still feel like a crumbling ruin. Keep polishing.
Merlin
True, the mortar holds the vision together. If the fine lines slip, even the strongest walls can look ragged. Tidy the details, keep the rhythm steady, and the tale will shine like a well‑carved stone.
Azerot
Nice, just make sure you don’t leave any loose bricks—those are the moments that let the whole thing slump. Keep tightening and the story will sparkle, not crumble.
Merlin
Think of each moment as a brick in a line—each one must be set firmly before the next. Tighten the seams, polish the edges, and the story will gleam like a polished stone.
Azerot
Yeah, but don’t forget the mortar—if the bricks aren’t perfectly aligned the whole wall will wobble.
Merlin
If the mortar’s off, the whole wall wavers—align the bricks, steady the plot, and the tale will stand firm.
