About the Comic:
Newly appointed High General Melissa Fairchild has everything she’s ever wanted; she’s the second most powerful person in the kingdom of Aelmidde (though she’s not sure she’s earned it), and now she just has to make sure she doesn’t screw up and lose it all. (Again.) Which is easier said than done, because she’s got to deal with her job, people waiting for her to fail, and (oh no) ~feelings~.
About Prophecy Failed (the prequel):
Melissa Fairchild’s dream was to be High General of the Kingdom of Aelmidde. Shortly after graduating from the military academy, she latched on to a budding conspiracy and ended up court-martialed. She then lived alone in the woods as a fugitive for three years.
Felix Rogers, wandering bard, wandered into Melissa’s corner of nowhere, Melissa accidentally burned down her shack, she and Felix became something akin to friends, and then Melissa decided to travel around with Felix.
One evening, in a tavern, Felix and Melissa were approached by Ellie Porter and Leon Valera, an eleven-year-old girl and her guardian. Ellie is the Dreamer, possessing a rare ability to dream the future, and she wanted to recruit Melissa (and Felix, why not) to help stop the exact conspiracy that cost Melissa her future. Melissa (and Felix, why not) agreed.
A bunch of things happened! The king was assassinated by High General Tailor, who was also his best friend. The kingdom was invaded by their longtime enemies from the north. The enemy occupied the capital, the country was in shambles.
To hide and regroup, Melissa took the party to a forgotten ruin, where they met the wayward/missing Prince Julian. After some convincing, Julian teamed up with the party and together they successfully formed and carried out the plan to retake their country and put Julian on the throne.
Julian then pardoned Melissa and shockingly appointed her as his High General. Now Melissa has to convince everyone, including and especially King Julian, that that wasn’t a terrible idea. Good luck!
