With a new threat rising, and creatures infected with darkness prowling the land Spyro will be needed more then ever. Now after the dawn comes the eclipse.

9. End of the Road

Hello everyone. Seven months ago I put up an update chapter to The Legend of Spyro: Eclipse. In it I promised that I would continue to work on the story and that I would post a new chapter whenever it was ready.

Unfortunately I am going to have to break that promise.

There are a few factors that lead to this decision, and it took me a long time to figure out. But I feel like I need to discontinue this story. This will be the last update to Eclipse I make, but not to the story (more on that later).

As you very well know, I have spent the last year working on a different project. I am still extremely passionate about it, and while it may take more than a year for me to complete it, I am still so happy with it. But while I am excited and happy whenever I write for that project, I can't say the same for Spyro.

Don't get me wrong, Spyro was a ton of fun at times, but since it was my first writing project I ever attempted I'm not sure I can defend it. The writing, my characterization, and my plot all feel below where I want my writing to be. Everything about Eclipse is just not up to my standards for the author I want to be now, and I can't see myself getting anything more out of it as it is.

I am sorry to all of you who loved this story, and trust me I do as well. But hope is not lost for you.

If you are following me or this story, keep doing so, and if you only have this thing favorited, follow it. I will not delete this story, so please feel free to keep reading it.

My grand plan, and my end goal is to eventually reboot this story. Like I said last time, come hell or high water I will finish this story. While I finish my other story, I will be working in the background on reconfiguring Spyro. I am going to go back to the drawing board and not completely start over (because I like the concept and the characters) but I will be starting with a blank slate and I will eventually give you guys the version of this story that we all deserve. When that day comes I will update this version of the story first, and then post the new one under the same name.

Feel free to PM or Review if you have any questions, but please no abuse. I am working to make a better product for everyone. Please be kind.

Thank you everyone, hobey-ho lets go!
