This is not the long awaited next chapter. This is an apology. It pains me to admit that in the past half decade I have lost everything relating to my plot outlines, my rough drafts, everything. The good news? I plan to pick up where we left off so long ago. I am posting this as a chapter that will be eventually replaced with the actual chapter, but with renewed beginnings come renewed needs. I am the first to admit that I am in desperate need of a new beta reader. I will of course be writting and putting up the next chapter solo if needs be, but this is a formal request for interested parties to pm me if interested.
