Warning, this is just an author's note.
I promised I would never do this, but I have to say, this was necessary. I was really tempted to just give up on this story until I read the reviews I got one last time…and I decided I would keep writing it. But here is the problem. I know where I want the story to go, just don't know how to get there. That is why I am asking for a beta, but not one that would just check spelling and grammar for me. One that would be more of like a partner writer (this may be too much to ask for, but this really is my last hope for this story). Or if someone just wants to take it from me, just send me an email and I can tell you where I was going to go with it.
Also, brownie points for whoever realized that Faren (mentioned in first chapter) is in Wild Mage and happened to flirt with Daine. I was trying to put in as many book references as I could.
Also, for those that live in Anchorage, you might have realized that I was off a street, but to be frank, I never drive to UAA unless I am going to see a play or am going to the doctor's office.
This might be the last time you hear from me for this story, but if it is, I will put up the epilogue (my inspiration for the story) as a oneshot.
Hope to see you again,
Usagi fan-chan
