As I predicted, I am now redoing this... again. As I was working on the latest chapter I realized I'm not truly letting these characters develop at all. I'm trying to keep them within a 2D format that I can barely understand based off of the original characters in R.A. Salvatore's work.

This will not do and so I must undo what I've written and try again. I apologize to all my faithful readers for running you through the grindstone again of rereading what you already know. I also apologize for making you guys wait so long for an update, only to get this note..

I am hoping that this version is better and will not need to be redone, because I am researching the characters I write about and therefore have a better understanding of their personality.

I don't know if there is a God of Balance in the Forgotten Realms Universe (the thought hadn't occured to me until just now and I can't seem to find one), but I am taking liberty to create one who will only exist in this story (you, of course, already know what character I am talking about).

I want to learn how to put depth to a story without outright saying it to the audience (you). So again this will take time and I will not be back for a while as I practice not only on depth, but length.

I am also working on getting a different job in real life, so my writing is not top priority.

In the mean time I would like to bid you guys happy holidays and I hope to still see you when I come back.

Side note: My muse has been reborn, thanks to a fellow Drizzt Do'Urden fan who had told me that I need to read the next book in the series (in my pouting I had abandoned the series and wasn't aware of his next publishings). So a HUGE thank you to Izana Ootsutsuki for helping me out!
