An epic story describing the faith of a god.
The epic battle at the end of the trilogy.
I wonder, does a good story always need an epic part?
Does it always need a hero's sufferance?
Would we know who Dante was if he'd written about the Heavens?
Does all of this have a point? No, not really.
I'm just curious of wether or not a succesful story could ever start off as something small and trivial or if you have to immediatly link it to great and mighty battles you can't find a reason for.
