Okay, so, update. I'm not dead. I posted this story two years ago, forgot about it for a year, and when I remembered that it existed my computer had broken and I thought I had lost my files, which had some more chapters in progress. Turns out that my dumbass isn't too dumb and I had backed up the files on a flash drive. I just found that flash drive today, and I feel inspired to continue writing. Unfortunately, it turns out I was a kinda shit writer two years ago, and my story is pretty bad in places. I forgot about Kelax as an antagonist after I introduced him, my grammar was dogshit in places, and I've just got some bad dialog. Fortunately, old me actually had an interesting plot going and some great jumping-off points, so I think I'll go back through each chapter and figure out what I want to modify. Don't worry, it will be following the same storyline, just a bit edited so it flows like an actual book and isn't a pain to read. Old me also had no idea where he wanted to take the story. Luckily, now that I'm not awful and understand how a story should go I have some great ideas for where the narrative is going. So, expect all the revisions to be finished within the month, and maybe if you're lucky a new chapter. But yeah, Dar'manda is back.
