Author's Notes (DO NOT SKIP)
Harbinger was originally titled Break Me Down which made its debut on January 27, 2009. Break Me Down was removed to undergo heavy construction on October 31, 2011. It re-debuted as Harbinger on May 8, 2012 and was officially completed on August 26, 2012. It was subsequently removed AGAIN at some point in 2013 (I can't remember the exact date).
So what is Harbinger doing up again? WELL, after 3 years of receiving kind messages from fans looking for my story and where else they could possibly find it, or if I could send it to them for reading-only, I've given in.
This granted request comes with a warning that, while the story is essentially complete, THERE WILL BE NO SEQUEL. I say this specifically to those of you who read this story years ago, you know what's coming. Yes, I had planned to write a sequel before but I'm too focused on my original work to even contemplate a possible sequel to Harbinger, on top of the fact that a sequel would deviate too far from the Square Enix universe (again, you original readers know what I mean).
So I'm officially saying it here: Harbinger is a stand-alone story. End of story. For the new readers who might ask for a sequel, I say thank you for reading but sorry it's just not going to happen. For the original readers, you – are – welcome. And thank you for the messages and requests. It's been encouraging.
Original readers, enjoy your trip down memory lane. For the new readers, take care and beware. Harbinger is not a story for children. It is a dark story that requires mature understanding. You are entering a world that has never been explored before, a world that fills in the blanks and makes you believe this is the way it could have gone. A twist on "What If".
You have been warned.
