Author's Note

Whoo! All right, I'm FINALLY starting to write again!

Okay, I had to get that one over with! What we have here is basically a story that a friend and I are working on, based off of some characters she made up and some characters that I was already planning on putting into another story. (That one looks like it might never get written after all… blerfage. If I ever do, though, you might start seeing some correlation.)

This one might be a little confusing at first, especially if you don't know what the hell a sk'kirrim is, but everything in its proper time. If you read the story, you'll understand eventually. They're just a race I made up- they look somewhat like blue polka-dotted Elves, but that is over-simplifying. They're actually much more complicated than that. Like I said… you'll see.

I'm really taking a huge gamble by putting this thing up online! I hope you like it! Reviews, flames, offers to start fan clubs in my honor and constructive criticism are all welcome!

The obligatory DISCLAIMER: All Final Fantasy stuff is the property of Square, I'm not making any money off this story, blah, blah, blah… If you do the incredibly stupid thing of stealing this fic or any of the characters, I will be extremely annoyed and will be compelled to make like a Black Mage and zap you with Level 5 Death, Ultima and Nuke! And put you as one of the first people to eliminate when I achieve world domination… MUAHAHAH!!!

--Andie Firehawk, your… um… weird authoress!

Um… okay… why are you still reading this? Go read the damn story already!

Are you some kind of freakazoid?

You must be some kind of weirdo if you're STILL hanging around.

Are you stalking me?

I'll have to call the FBI on you if you don't leave now!

Go! GO AWAY!

Leave me alone in my padded room!

MUSES! SIC 'EM!

All your base are belong to us.

Bye-bye! Have a nice afterlife! ^_^

Cookies if you review!

Um… that's before you get to the Pearly Gates, that is!

Bye!

I said… GOODBYE!

Maybe this author's note should be its own fic.

Or maybe not. GO READ THE STORY!!!

Muses… MUSES! Stop eating the readers!
