Hi, thanks for the input. I do really appreciate it.

I was initially going to go into more depth involving the Ancients and the Chosen. In fact, I had several plans for the story that were scrapped for several reasons-

1. Originally, I was going to write about how various myths and legends over the years were actually instances of Chosen facing off against rogue Ancients. However, I scrapped the idea because I was concerned that people would assume that meant (insert Creepypasta monster here) was also an Ancient.

2. The story was initially going to center entirely around the history of the Ancients and The Chosen. It was also going to be part one of a several part series. That idea was scrapped when the original concept was deleted. So, I decided to create this version instead.

3. One plot aspect I had originally planned to include would've revealed the rogue Ancients believe humantiy should be enslaved or be treated as little more than cattle. Likewise, the story would've also revealed that there are rogue Chosen as well who want to hunt all Ancients to extinction. I felt the idea was too convoluted for the newer simplifed plot of the story and scrapped it as well.

As for Thac, he helps the narrator for reasons only he knows. Thac is a useful ally, but is not necessarily a "good guy". Thac only helps if he feels it may benefit his goals, whatever they may be, in some way. He's deliberately ambiguous to his motives in order to present a different threat than the standared rogue Ancients. Something that could be a friend to the Chosen one moment, and a dangerous enemy the next. And, like the story states, Thac may not even be an Ancient but something far more powerful. Meaning the narrator might not be able to kill him so easily.
