Yes yes, I know. I've been gone for a long ass time, but please hear me out! Hey everyone, this is Okami The Blue Wolf and I believe it is somewhat safe to say I have returned! Now 2016 has certainly been one hell of a year, I know this sounds like I'm making excuses but please hear me out and I will make it worth your time. So let me explain what happened starting from what happened after my last update.

Shortly after my update about a year ago my nephew ended up in the hospital after an accident so I jumped on a bus and traveled seven hours to San Francisco in order to support my sister for a little while. A month later I found out that a close friend of mine passed away due to cancer while I was away and quickly slipped into depression. In an effort to cheer me up my parents paid for me and two of my sisters to travel to Japan where I had a great time. School became a living hell for me, although it wasn't so bad seeing as it was the place me and my girlfriend first met. :D And then just last month one of my sisters just got married and I'm still somewhat trying to recover from that. I know what you are thinking, "But Okami, you've been through a lot worse before and still updated on a regular basis! This isn't like you so what on earth is really going on?" You want to know more? Fine, I'll tell you more.

To be completely honest, I'm losing the motivation to complete this story. "What the fuck do you mean?" Well stop cussing and hear me out.

I don't remember if I told all of you guys yet, but I have been working on this huge project that has literally been taking all of my time. "So you aren't motivated anymore because of this project you are working on?" Well yes and no. You see, this story was a story I first thought of a long time ago that I had a dream about back when RWBY first aired. In all of the excitement I started typing up the chapters and uploaded them without a second thought, but now when I look back on it I am seriously disappointed in myself. I'm disappointed that I didn't plan out the story well enough to set up the events that will happen in the future. I'm disappointed that I just told you guys what the characters are like though flashbacks and ridiculously long dialogues rather then you guys getting to watch the characters grow in their own time. And basically, I'm disappointed that I didn't do the story well enough. I feel this way because of this project I'm working on. "But why does this project make you feel this way when it has nothing to do with this story?" But you see, that's the thing… This project has everything to do with this story.

This project isn't just some random thing I decided to do. My friend and I actually sat down and together we decided to make a web comic of this story. However, it will not be the same as this story that you all know. This story is going to focus of the Faunus in the world of Remnant. This means we are going to have more information about where Okami and Ai are from along with other hidden faunus kingdoms. Yes you will still be seeing team RWBY, JNPR, ect. But this story is going to take more dark and mature things. Because of this project I have been taking this story apart and reconstructing it to make the story so much better then what it is right now. Honestly, I think I like the project story more then I like this story, which if why it has been so difficult for me to keep writing this story. "Does this mean then that this story will never be continued?" No, I will continue this story. I just want you guys to know I'm also working on something so much bigger for you guys. So now let's talk about this project some more.

I'm still not quite sure about all of the details but I will be posting some art, posters, and chapters for this story on Tumblr. If you guys would like to see it then my Tumblr name is also okamithebluewolf. Now, any questions?

Q: "What is the name for this project that sounds so awesome?"

A: Good question, I've decided that the overall title for this comic will be called "Shattered Remnants" but each story will also have a subtitle. For example this first story will be called, "Shattered Remnants: This Will Be the Day."

Q: "What other kind of things will you be posting for this story on Tumblr?"

A: Well things like character designs, character emblems, and eventually posters of ALL FOUR members of team OKAY.

Q: "Will there be new characters in this story?"

A: A shit ton.

Q: "Who are these new members of team OKAY?"

A: I really don't want to say too much but I will give you their names. There is Okami Kiba, Kitsune Sakurai, Ai Yukimoto, and Yon Yukimoto.

Q: "Last but not least, when will this story first be published?"

A: VERY VERY SOON. Like if not by the end of this year then early 2017.

Thank you all for supporting me, and thank you all so much for understanding. If there are any other questions I did not cover then please message me and I will respond as quickly as possible. Okami The Blue Wolf is signing off.
