Alright, I know what you're thinking; "Oh gosh she got my hopes up with a new chapter so soon, instead its only an author's note!" And sadly I have to agree; I don't like Author's notes and don't do them. However I feel this has to be addressed so there is no confusion.
During chapter 2 of this story Raven tells Crow about Alturas and some of the events that took place there, this of course also includes the religion that the Alturas people use. So I would like to make this very clear here and now; Everything about their religion is based completely on fiction and in no way represents anything regarding any actual religion.
I did very extensive research on different cultures and symbols they use and came up with something that I thought would not actually exist. But it has come to my attention that some people may not see it this way, which is why as a writer I feel like I have failed to convey the message of the story.
See the whole point of that part was too explain to you all what made Raven the way she is when she met Crow, the reason I brought this fake religion into it was so you would all understand why the people of Alturas did what they did to her. It's not because I was attempting to make fun or say a certain religion is bad, it was merely for explanation purposes only and so something like this wouldn't happen I didn't go very deep into it.
Crow's comment after that point about "Religious mumbo jumbo" was just what I imagined he would think after being told about something like that, because in all honestly I don't believe they were ever introduced to a form to religion. The comment itself was in no way making fun of anything regarding religion and the people who practice it.
So in closing I would like to sincerely apologize to anyone that thought that particular part was in any way "making fun of" this particular subject. It was not my intention and I do hope that this note explains my feelings on this subject.
I do hope this does not deter anyone from reading and enjoying my story, and if you have any questions or comments regarding this please don't hesitate to PM me personally.
Now as a special bonus for having to go through all this I have managed to put together the next chapter for this story and I hope you all enjoy it. :)
