To all my readers and lovers of this story;
Thank you for everything. I owe my writing ability and creativity to you all. Your support and reviews are what drove this story forward and YOU are the reason I am still writing today. However, I do have some good news and bad news.
Shortly after this thank you goes up, I will be removing this story from FanFiction and all of my other story sites where it is posted. This simply because the story that you've all grown to love, the story that you've kept me writing, is now being transformed into a standalone story of its own instead of being a simple Fable fanfiction. To those of you who have stuck with me through thick and thin, who kept giving me good reviews despite my increasingly late chapter posts, I thank you, and offer you if you'd like, a signed copy of my future book and its sequels. If you would like said copies, please let me know in my email BlackDragonWaltz at Gmail.
While I do get a lot of love from my fans here on this site, I don't know how well a story like this will do in the real world. However, if I get even half the encouragement and inspiration that I got from you all, I will consider it a success. If you'd like the continue to follow the story of Lyle and his friends, and see how new book fairs so far, I have created a Facebook page called simply 'The Hero'. I could really use your criticism and insight in my new endeavors as well as your support for this lifelong dream of mine.
The story I have planned is at least four books long as it currently stands, even more if I add the lore and history I have created for the backstory. You will be seeing a lot of the same names and faces, but the adventure will be new, and remarkably better written, I promise you.
In closing, I want you all to know that the true heroes here are you readers. Thank you all again, and here's to a new adventure coming soon.
