So if you've read the prologue of Errant, you'll know that the characters find Excalibur and that it's mentioned that Rekki's grandmother, a knight called Athena Lune, died in the process of putting it in the place they find it.
In older drafts of the story, she didn't just die, she was petrified, so they went into that chamber and:
They reach a strange walled-off area, with worn old warning posters, leading to a bunch of bombed out, overgrown ruins. Sarin, the most spiritually aware of the group remarks that it’s “really really haunted”, “something terrible happened here.” there are will o’ wisps everywhere “fragments of the souls of lost fey”, and as they round a corner, the petrified remains of Athena Lune, and an ornate sword in a stone.
So there's Rekki's grandma as this statue in the background throughout the whole scene, and then later on things get totally wild, because later in the plot, she was going to get un-petrified, so there'd be like... this random thirty year old woman who had been frozen for 45 years, whose kids are now old enough to be her parents, running around with her twenty-something year old grandkids and the woman who had a crush on her who is now in her seventies.
While this is an interesting scenario it.... adds absolutely nothing to the actual plot. Athena Lune just works better as a character who died young with this heroic sacrifice and now everyone puts her on a pedestal and compares Rekki to her unfavourably. The audience don't need to have the whole story stop and change focus to understand that oh wow hey it turned out this character everyone talks about so reverently was actually a normal, flawed woman.
So I cut that whole thing completely
