To all my readers,

I apologize for not updating sooner than now, but...some things came up. For starters, I received a new computer for my birthday (which was in June), but it took me a lot longer for me to buy Microsoft Office for it so that I could continue to write. That is mainly the reason why I haven't updated until now.

I know many of you are excited to see what happens next in this story, which is why it kills me that I'm writing this. I did not lie when I said I would continue writing, in fact I was halfway through the next chapter by the time exam week arrived, but over the summer...I ran into a couple of rough situations. As a result of failing a couple of advanced classes (one of them being physics) , I permanently lost all my scholarships, which means I'll have to pay the rest of my college education straight out of my pocket. Also...I lost a loved one. She died on the operating table with me sitting next to her. I didn't even know she passed until...Needless to say, I just don't have the heart to continue this story anymore.

It's probably for the best. Who was I kidding? There was no way a beginner like me would ever finish a story spanning the entire trilogy. It just isn't realistic for a guy like me to take on such a huge project like that. A story like this belongs to someone who actually has the time and the heart to do so: the two things I no longer have anymore.

I'm sorry to say this, but Mass Legends...is on haitus. Keelah, I hate that word. But right now that's the best I can describe the status of the story. It hurts knowing that I'm letting you all down, but I just can't finish it. Perhaps one day when I get my act together...well, we'll let the future decide that one.

That doesn't mean I won't write, however. In the past, I have found writing to be one of the many ways to escape the harsh aspects of reality; and given what has happened to me, any kind of escape, temporary as it may be, is more than welcome. It won't be full-fledged stories like this one, but one-shots or short fics that won't be as strenuous to my time and motivation.

I want to thank everyone who has followed me up to this point. I greatly appreciate your suppport, which had given me the courage I needed to get to this point. I hope you continue to support me in my future writings, but I understand if you don't. Nevertheless, thank you.

Keelah Se'lai.
