**Story Updates**
Chapter Twenty
Fearful for their friends' lives, Selphie, Quistis and Rinoa travel to Esthar in hopes to shed some light on the danger that is brewing there. Unfortunately, the danger had already -been- brewed, and everyone drank it already, and on an empty stomach to boot, so it's just a crazy drunken danger-mess when they get there.
Insert a plot twist and a new face to the story thus far, and you have a recipe for adventure! Garnish with two dashes of nutmeg.
I'm sorry. This is a serious story, I'm supposed to be serious. I haven't updated in a while. I'm shocked that I actually pushed something out, and it's... two in the morning right now, I'm not even going to edit anything, I'm just getting out the durn chapter because I actually -wrote- one. Hopefully this is a continuing trend -- thanks so much for reading, and waiting, if you did wait. I missed writing this story (college is kind of a dampener on creative projects, I'm realizing, and my concintration on original fiction kind of pushed this on the back-burner, although there's a love I have for this kind of stuff that can never be replaced), and hope that you missed reading it. Thanks for your comments and e-mails!
In all seriousness though, this is the progressive ease into a very action-packed part of the story, something very climatic, actually, and that will lead into a great number of twists and revelations. I haven't reached the emotional peak of the piece yet, but if there's a physical one, this is it (or getting dangerously close). Read!
I really am horrid at Roman Numerals. For serious.

Author's Note
How's my driving?
This is indeed a first for me. Henceforth, I'm a little shaky about what I am doing and how I
am going to go about doing it. Although clear on plot--which is loosely based on an original
concept of mine--I am not entirely attuned to writing a full-length drama. Feedback would be
most appreciated in terms of not what I did right (although nice things always feel good ^-^)
but rather what I did wrong. My greatest fear, at this time, is drawing things out too long so
that they seem dull. This may be most present in the first few chapters. Tips, suggestions,
and even ideas for the future will be taken with the highest respect and graditude. This is,
after all, something meant to be read and enjoyed. Don't be afraid to mail me... although I'm horrid at writing back sometimes. The love is still there, though, and I stress that greatly.

I don't own them. You all know that. Credits and much adoration goes out to the writers of the songs, poems, and quotes that I have used in framing this story. Julia's Song (Turn Around), be it in full or in part, -is- mine... although with my poor poetic skills, I'm almost afraid to admit it. =P

And it starts:
Every end is merely a path for a new beginning.
Ultimecia has been defeated and the world slowly begins to wind down into a normal and peaceful
state of being. The resistance that had taken down the evil sorceress had succeeded, and an
adversary had been sedated to the great joy of many.
Little did they know, this was only the nourishment for a spawning seed... an even greater
threat that knew no spells, delivered no punch, and demanded no ransom. It was a threat that redifined fate as they knew it... a threat that lie within themselves.
For When You Return is a multi-part saga that concintrates namely on the lives of the characters
that are first introduced in Final Fantasy VIII, a game made for the Playstation console. It is,
overall, a story of Destiny and True Love laced within a tale of science, mystery, fate, and the intense power of hope.
