Got a killer idea for a story in the works, not sure how it'll turn out, but I've seen a couple people write prologues and just wondering if that's what I should do as well. It'll be an actual novel/novella, and much better than the last one I tried to write. The question is, do prologues actually add anything to the story, or in fact do they take away from the stories secrets?

Thanks for all the support you've given me lately, I did end up writing a prologue but I was careful and scared of giving too much away. A lot of prologues cheat me out of a story and deter me from reading, so I tried to summarize the world and the characters.

Hello to my grand total of 4 followers. I felt like doing something fun in anticipation for the next chapter of What Was Yet to Come, when heaven and hell literally brake loose. The riddle may give you some sort of hint as to what mythological creature Atlas and Quetzalcoatl meet next.
          
          In spring four pillars hold me up,
          a shining dome above the earth.
          In summer two pillars support me,
          a doorway into mystery.
          In autumn three pillars stand beneath me,
          a temple of the Bright City.
          In winter my pillars are crumbled to dust,
          a ruin of ancient glory.
          
          I can't wait :)
