Hello everyone! I apologize wholeheartedly for the delay. There has been a lot going on in my life for the past couple of months, and regrettably I lost inspiration for the story. I've been so concerned with other things in my life that it's just been thrown to the backburner. I did manage to write two chapters, but they've been scrapped because I just didn't feel like they were up to my standards. Honestly, they feel rushed, and like I was just writing them to keep my readers.

Seeing that my story is still being read, despite this hiatus, has given me a bit of a confidence boost, however. And I've managed to pick up the game again in the hopes that it will spur me into writing a new chapter, or two, or ten. I cannot make any guarantees on when the next chapter(s) will come out, but I want everyone to know that this story is NOT dead. It's just going to take a bit to get it moving forward again.

I want to sincerely thank my readers for waiting so patiently for a new chapter. I am REALLY sorry about the delay, but I aim to get a new chapter up by the beginning of June. Like I said before, I can't make a definite deadline, but I am going to try my absolute hardest to get the next chapter up by then. Again, I'm so sorry for the delay, but thank you for your continuing support. It means a lot!
