*IMPORTANT A/N: Hello everyone! I apologize but this is not a chapter right now. Currently I am in the process of a REWRITE of this entire beginning of the story. I began this story back in 2013 when I was around twelve or so, yikes. I think I wrote pretty well for back then, but now that I'm much older and know that this story was so chopped up with not much detail or characterization (in the beginning), I'm cringing.

For now I cannot continue on with my LOTR segment knowing that the beginning of this fiction is what it is currently.

So, I am rewriting each chapter right now (the first one has already been done! Working on the 2nd and 3rd right now..). The over all outline of them will remain the same. The only thing changing will be more to read, smoother transitions, and character relationships as well as more insight into the OC's. I hope it will be a story with good taste and more heart. In no way were the OC's Mary Sue's but I admit, they came very pretty close.

While I am reminiscing how serious I took each chapter back when and typing it up so excited and proud, I am forever thankful there weren't any haters. If there were, I can count on one hand how many there were. And I almost didn't want to rewrite because of this. This was just one of those quick and to the point fanfics which are sometimes great- never-mind, they are all great in their own way! But the way I'm going with this now, and what I was trying to back then, I originally wanted this story to be deep and as real as it could get.

I am pleased and so moved that all you followers thoroughly enjoyed, and CONTINUE to enjoy this story. You are all beyond amazing!

My last note is that if you're interested, keep checking back on earlier chapters to reread if you wish. Sadly there's no notification for updating past chapters, but if I am able, I will try to update the LOTR segment as I rewrite/edit older chapters. And in these LOTR chapters I'll mention in an author's note which chapters I have updated.

I apologize for not updating since 2015, you know how life can get. For my long-time devoted readers you all know what I say, I will finish every story I have! :)

Thank you.
