IMPORTANT A/N: See end of chapter.

In the depths of the Forbidden Forrest, small creatures were gathered around a aging bonfire.

"They must succeed... they must!"

"But can they do so without our help?"

"Our kin can help them-"

"At the cost of all their happiness - in every way! We cannot let that happen!"

"But what can we do?"

"There will come a time, when we will see the light to guide our way... One of us must join the Heather Army, and see what can be done to help the Awaited One."

With that, the group made up of various small Fey left the clearing, determined to help win the war against their oppressors.

A/N: I am so pleased - so gratified - by your reviews and favoritings of this story; believe me, I didn't think I'd get this big of a response.

I thank you from the bottom of my inkwell... but I must seek your forgiveness. Though I had full plans to continue this story, I have pointed my 'pen' in a different direction. I do not see that this story will ever be continued. Still, I do hope your enjoyment is not marred too deeply by this statement, and that you go on, yourself, to enjoy the stories here and even to contribute to the amazing library I have had the honor of adding to.

My best wishes to you all!
