Hey everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? This isn't a new chapter, but an important announcement regarding the next few chapters.

First off, I'm NOT cancelling this story. I know you all want to see how it ends, and I hate leaving stories unfinished; this was my first great work, and I want to see it to the end as much as you all do. I have been working on the next few chapters periodically this past summer, tweaking as I went along. I figured I would finish these next few chapters first before posting them, since I don't want you guys and gals to have to wait three or more weeks between each chapter to see what happens next. I wanted to finish them sooner, but between the pandemic, other stories and looking for work this summer, I figured I would post a new chapter by this summer's end.

Unfortunately, within this past week, my computer went and got messed up somehow, and I lost all the current chapters I was working on. I know, it was quite a shock for me as well. I lost almost all of my work... not just on this story, but those from other stories too. It was an awful thing to happen to me, and I'm trying to see if I can salvage any of my chapters in progress, but the outcome doesn't look good. I wanted to apologize to you all, because it looks like the next chapter of this story may take a while since I may have to rewrite those chapters from memory [fortunately it should be relatively for me].

So I am NOT abandoning this story, I am simply warning you that it might take a while for me to get the next few chapters out. And with school starting soon for me, it will most likely cut into my writing time. I want the ending of this story to be perfect and epic, since you all deserve nothing less. So I ask that you please be patient with me as I continue to finish these last few chapters. Of course, if I can somewhat salvage the chapters, then I'll post them as soon as possible, but I cannot say or guarantee when I will post for this story again.

Know that I want you all to be able to finish the story, and I thank you so much for all the support you have given me with this story, making it my #1 most read story out of all my fanfictions. You all are awesome, and I apologize for not posting new chapters in a while. Know that I am working on the next few chapters, making sure that they are the best chapters I can give to you. Thank you.
