This page consists of author's notes and summaries of previous parts in the series. I'd recommend skimming through to jog your memories, though I know I've thrown in many plot thickeners that will have fallen through the cracks. I'm my own worst enemy sometimes.
Right, here we go again! Usual jitters and second, third, fourth guessing. You get the picture.
It's been forever since I've had something with multiple chapters to post. I had to re-read the entire series again, hoping that I could keep the continuity as smooth as possible. I had to take almost entire chapters out of this next part because they didn't link with things I'd forgotten, so editing a thousand times is worth it, but it takes forever!
I won't even begin to go into work/life burdens or the fact that I've been trying to renovate my house for the last six months. So, while I really hope that I've lived up to your expectations with The Battle – Part One, there's nothing more I could have done. Be kind, please. The end is in sight, but it's still going to be an uphill struggle to get there.
