Well, guys: this is it. I've tried. For years I kept resuscitating a dream. And for a while, it was breathing, but, with my life having gone through a big chance, the air had become more restrictive. Almost to the point of closing. And, unfortunately, it's about to be silenced.

I'm thirty-five yeas old now, having a started a new, full time job, and just want to enjoy myself after a long day's work. This isn't the answer I wanted. Writing has become more of a chore, and, in a way, it's affected me mentally. I couldn't stop thinking about getting another chapter done; to appease all of you.

But, sometimes, you do need to put yourself before others. You need to do what YOU think makes you happy. And this isn't what's making me happy anymore. Through both the original and the remake, I made new friends – I'll always be grateful for that. I learned to find confidence in myself; to improve myself as a writer.

But my true passion lies in video; to be able to tell stories through a visual medium, because one image alone says a lot more than a literary of words. And I plan to bring my YouTube page back to life. That's where my true hobby resides.

So, this really is the end of my time here at . I'll leave my stories up as reminder of how far I've come. Anyone can continue my story if they want. There's no law that says you can't. It's up to you on how you interpret one's work.

But….who knows? Maybe I'll come back to finish it one day. Maybe nostalgia will impel me to see how it ends. All I can say is I appreciate the love and support you've shown for me over the years. I've had a blast interacting with you, and I hope we can continue being friends elsewhere. Like I said, YouTube will be home now, so expect me to be making videos again next year.

Without the restraint of The Nintendo Version, I hope to get a chance to experience with more ideas on YT. To share more of my passions with you all.

To answer any questions:

Riki was planned as the last summon, meaning Xenoblade Chronicles would've been in KH2:TNV.

Kid Icarus would've replaced F-Zero in KH2.

And Splatoon would've been the replacement for Pirates of the Caribbean. Still am undecided about what would replace Tron. Custom Robo possibly.

My plan after KH2 was to take the series in a whole new direction; to not be restrained creatively by the later KH sequels. It would've been a Multiverse story, so that I could use other video game franchises outside of Nintendo. Halo, Silent Hill, Sonic, Uncharted, Mystical Ninja, Portal, Psychonauts, Banjo-Kazooie, and Sly Cooper were just some of the worlds I was toying around with it.

The ideas were still very rough, but there would've been a new force along side the Heartless and Nobodies. Soulless creatures that refuse to be remembered by society. And their appearances were to be based off of terrible video games characters, such as seen in Action 52, E.T, Big Riggs, Drake of the 99 Dragons, etc. It was going to be meta: to celebrate both video games and the Kingdom Hearts fandom. Though I'm not sure how people would've felt about it.

Still it's been a blast. Please keep in touch with me on Twitter through the usual links. Or discord. DM me if you want my discord info.

I'm so sorry it had to end this way. Again, I appreciate the overwhelming support you've shown. You guys are incredible.

Till we meet again. May your heart be your guiding key.
