2nd note from the author: I really love Howl's Moving Castle. It is probably one of the first Studio Ghibli movies that I have fallen in love with. And so, to feed my delusional mind, I felt like I HAD to know what happens to Howl and Sophie's little family after the animated movie. But at the same time, I want to create a fresh love story that doesn't focus on Howl and Sophie. And so I concocted one that focuses on their adult son, Ardain Pendragon. I feel like the world deserves it. This is for entertainment purposes only. Again, it's only to feed my delusional mind on what happens in the world that Howl and Sophie lives in.
