In the Sword of Shannara, Flick and Shea continue on their adventures to save the Sword from Brona at Paranor. Just before they began their expedition, leaving the refuge of Culhaven, Allanon explains to them and Menion the imperativity of this quest.

Role Paper “As You Like It” was a delightful yet very familiar comedy about love. My role in the project was to be the connector.
