Dear Mortals,

Why do I get no love?

In some ways, I understand. You are (for the most part) adolescent beings with a limited amount of patience, as teens often are. And the majority of you probably hate waiting, as well.

But could you please, please, consider the fact that I exist? Yes, I am a minor character, however, I appear more often than Will Solace, and even he is more popular than me. I don't mean that in a jealous way, honest. I was never the most sociable person in any room, never the most accepted and cared for, but at least I wasn't glossed over as unimportant. Well, my fellow centaurs certainly disagreed… but my students always seemed to respect me, at the very least, which made me glad. It's part of the reason I love teaching so much, because this way I can make everyone believe they're capable of something. At least, until they die.

And sometimes -most times- they do die. And that's always sad. But there are always other students there to support me, and while they can never really replace the ones that have passed on, they're there. They're the reason I'm here. My purpose. My strength. I live to help them achieve something, and while I've never asked for all the credit for their success, I've never thought it was too much to ask to be recognized as one of the factors in it.

Of course, it's ultimately your decision. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do, just please consider my point. Thank you for reading, and have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Chiron

I am so sorry. So, so, so sorry. Honest. Words can't even describe how sorry I am.

There's no excuse for being missing the amount of time I have. I don't know if you'll even want to hear them, so it's great I don't have any good ones, other than complete lack of inspiration. Eventually I decided to not force myself to write when I didn't an to because all I'd write was meaningless, terrible junk. And I've tried to write, I really have.

It makes me feel worse when I consider the fact that this isn't to only long break I've taken. I used to update once every few days, now it's usually a month. I've known about my sporadic updates for a while now, but I kept trying to convince myself it was just a phase and I didn't need to draw attention to it, though you guys probably noticed on your own.

Again, I'm sorry. If anyone has decided to abandon reading this story I totally understand. Thanks for putting up with me this long.

Sincerely,
