Hello!

I am sorry for the lack of updates on "New Life, New Chance" but there has been something I've forgotten to tell all of you. Over a year ago, I got no motivation to continue this story as I started to realize that I had no real plans for its storyline and would also OOC Velvet as a character for the narrative.

Zestiria itself also has a lot of work for me to do as it is pretty flawed in its storytelling which means a lot more work for me to make the story sound good. And as such, I've stopped working on this story.

Velvet is one of my favorite characters of all time and I've realized I didn't do her really justice in the story which caused my motivation to continue it even lower. She felt more as a depressed woman than the head strong, badass that she is while dealing with trauma and guilt. Velvet deserves a better way to show her character development away from her past than just a very few chapters alone.

Also, Sorey being her son was a great idea at first but now... It doesn't make much sense XD

This story will be here for others to read, however, it won't be updated. If you all want a story with Velvet being a mother and earning a happy ending, check out my story "Tales of Awakening: Butterfly Effect".

Compared to "New Life", "Butterfly Effect" focuses more on Velvet's character development in a different scenario and is joined with the cast of Fire Emblem Awakening. A trailer and the first chapter have already been published and am working on the second chapter after a long break because of personal issues and IRL. I really hope you all enjoy "Butterfly Effect" as much as "New Life, New Chance" even though they are very different from each other. I have a lot of plans and such already written down for "Butterfly Effect" and so far, it is one of my favorites to write despite the fact that Fire Emblem Awakening is a long game but I have 53 chapters planned together with a sequel after the main story is finished all together.

I hope I haven't disappointed all of you for not continuing this but, I can't continue it with the mindset that I'm downgrading Velvet as much as I did and don't want to rewrite everything either.

See you around and give "Butterfly Effect" a chance!
