"The thought struck me, the first time I looked at that artwork completed only a few days after meeting Maelo, that this artist had interpretive abilities far superior to most artists. He’d given personality and real meaning to that little tale; he liked the story, he understood the story! Y’know how rare that is? When he walked in the door of Skywald, it was me who was the lucky one!"
