Hi. Been a week. Have a new chapter.

Ok, side note, I'm going to go back and fix some of the minor fuck ups in the older chapters, and that's going to happen while this one is getting published and such, so for those minor spelling errors, and occasional missing punctuations that keep me up at night, I'm fixing those. Biggest offender was using "triad" instead of "tirade" last week. Actually facepalmed when I caught that.

But yeah. New chapter time, please enjoy my humble offering.

While sitting in the library, I look over at Jade and Lukas. They both have this dumb look on their faces, and I'll be honest, it's probably on mine too. The idea of camping has grown on me past s'mores, though that's still the main draw for me. The rain finally cleared, and it's dry, so we're making up for lost time. Levi's the least enthusiastic about this whole ordeal, but he has no excuses as to why he can't go, so he's stuck with us. Jade eats a recently opened granola bar, as I crack open a mango flavored energy drink, and Lukas speaks, "So, have you packed yet?" The question's at Levi.

"Uh, no, not yet. I'm still working on getting a tent." Levi responds. I groan and roll my eyes. I take a swig of my energy drink, savoring the sharp taste. I swallow and look at Levi.

"Dude, I told you, the tent I bought could easily accommodate three people. Why are you still worrying about that, dumbass? Lukas and Jade have their tents already, and I don't bite." I say. I then glance over at Blake, and snicker. "Well, I wouldn't bite you at least." This earns me a smack over the head, which I accept. Kinda deserve that one.

"Yeah, ok, fine. If we're not counting the tent, then I have everything. I still need to do a maintenance check on Zum Sieger, though." says Levi.

"C'mon dude, we're trying to leave before sundown, so…" Lukas says, looking up at him before sipping from his thermos.

"Friend Levi," Jade starts, "if it makes you feel any better, I won't let anything happen to you. I venture out to the Emerald Forest all the time, and I'm always ok. There's nothing to worry about, I promise. So long as you stay behind me, and don't wander off." She smiles at him, before eating some more of the granola.

"I… Alright, alright. I'll be ready by five." Levi says.

"Five? I thought you guys were supposed to leave at three?" Blake asks. "Doge hasn't shut up about it all day."

I make an overexaggerated pout, and speak in an equally overexaggerated tone while leaning closer, "Do you just hate when I'm happy?"

She slowly pushes me back to where I was. "Yeah, I do."

"That's mean. You're mean. Meanie." I reply, in the same tone.

"'Meanie?' What are you, five?" she asks.

I just shrug, swapping back to my usual demeanor. I continue sipping at my drink while the others discuss our plans, and make Levi agree to meet up at three. It's just going to be Team DAIS, for two days out in the wilderness. I mean, we have Jade with us, so I'm not worried in the slightest. Eventually, we finish lunch, I say goodbye to Blake with a kiss on the cheek, and I head to my room to finish packing.

A few hours later, we're waltzing through the forest, looking for a good spot to set up camp. I'm holding Hell's Retriever, seeing as I've already had to shoot a Boarbatusk in the face with dragon's breath. There were a solid few seconds after it burst into flames that it almost smelled like bacon. Just thought I'd bring that up. My bandolier is slung over my chest like normal, but due to the fact that I'm not currently wearing my armor, it feels kinda funny. I push it around, loosen it, and tighten it over and over. I then start looking around, just taking everything in. There's also three or so of my incendiary grenades clipped to my bandolier, because I didn't want to wear a belt. Sweatpants are just cozier.

"Green…" I mutter to myself.

"What?" Levi asks.

"Oh, uh, just… autopilot." I stammer.

He nods. "Relatable."

Jade told us she has the perfect place for us to set up camp, so I mean, we're trusting her. She's also probably screamed at us a dozen times when we stopped following exactly behind her. I don't have to be told twice, for a very good reason, but the other two scatterbrains need the occasional shove in the right direction. Once we get to camp, everyone has their own role. Lukas and Levi are on setting up tents, Jade's on setting up a perimeter, and my job should be clear as day. I mean, what else could I do?

"Almost there, friends. I recognize that tree." Jade says, gesturing to a specific tree. The most notable thing about it is the fact that there's a massive fucking chunk of it missing, as if something tore it off for whatever reason.

"Charming…" I mutter. I find myself looking at the damage, not sure as to what could have done that. Honestly, maybe it was an Alpha Ursa getting thrown into it? But even then, what could have done something that insane? We continue on for another few minutes before we reach a clearing. I then realize that we don't really have an axe to cut down any trees.

"Hey, Jade? Can you- Oh, I see." I say, turning to see that she's carrying over two logs already. She giggles, and gestures behind her, to which I see more logs. Guess she already had a stack of 'em, huh? I walk over and bring over two more, and we stack them. Kindling is for people without pyrokinetic powers, so I just hold out my hand. That warm feeling rushes from my chest, to my arms, and then my hand, as a jet of fire spews from it. I move the beam around, making sure most of the logs are burning, and then close my fist. I step back as the heat starts to hit me, due to my semblance no longer being active.

I turn around to see that our tents are all set up, and I set my bag near the largest tent, seeing as Levi and I are going to be sharing that one. I unzip my pack, and start rummaging through it. Before long I've produced marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. I set them down near one of the four stumps that Jade has brought over. That girl is the textbook definition of a sleeper build. Like, at first glance, she looks a little bit on the larger side, but then under that is straight muscle. Honestly, she's probably close to being as strong as me, if not stronger. She claims that having excess weight is an instinct thing, and probably due to her faunus heritage. Still though, it hardly detracts from her… well, anything, honestly.

I look around, and find a nice looking stick. One of those sticks you'd pretend was a sword, and go fight with your friends. If you had those when you were a kid, and stuff. We don't judge around here. Because that would be hypocrisy. Haha. Gods I wish I had a normal childhood…

ANYWAYS!

I take the stick, and pull out my dagger. Everyone needs a backup, right? There's not much to it, nothing fancy, no engravings, or whatever. This thing is straight business. And that's why I'm using it to carve a stick for marshmallows. Once I have a decent point, I stick the stick into the fire, in order to harden the edge. After a moment, I pull it back and examine, taking note of a single splinter that's stuck on. I pluck it off, and flick it to the side, where it lands upon a blade of grass. I turn and remove a marshmallow from the packaging, holding it between my thumb and index finger. Shortly after, I skewer it on the end of my newfound spear. Moments later, the marshmallow is starting to darken as the flames lick at the edges of the treat. I pull it back slightly, and slowly turn it as the Maillard Reaction takes place, browning the delectable white flesh of the marshmallow.

"Yo, Doge, are you good?" Lukas asks. "You're looking really intensely at that thing, dude."

"Oh, uh, yeah. I was just thinking about something." I say.

Moments later, I eat the marshmallow off of the stick, and it tastes good. I then stick another on the edge of the stick and stick it into the fire, holding the stick with one hand, and sticking my other hand into my pocket. Stick.

While actually thinking about something other than a damn marshmallow, it catches on fire. I pull it out, and shrug. They taste good regardless of if they look like a piece of coal on the outside or not. Honestly, they taste better that way. Well, no, not better, like, the same. They're a fucking side-grade. Yeah.

"Y'know, Levi-" I say, causing a bit of marshmallow to fly out of my mouth. "Fuck, sorry…" I swallow before continuing, "Why did you join Beacon to begin with? Lukas, Jade, and I kinda just got roped into it, so why did you join?"

Levi ponders about it for a moment, and responds, "Well, it's kind of a long story."

"Yeah, and I asked, so like, speak." I say.

"Alright, alright. So, you know how I came from a military family, and how I was always expected to become a huntsman to carry on my family's legacy, right?"

We nod. While he speaks, I make myself a s'more but continue paying attention.

"Well, I guess I just wanted to be… It's kinda hard to put into words. So, like, I wanted to be a huntsman, but I also wanted to do it for myself, and not them. That's why I came to Beacon instead of Atlas." Levi says, munching on a piece of chocolate.

I nod, and Jade suddenly speaks up, "That's quite different from how I ended up in Beacon, Friend Levi."

Oh, how Jade ended up in Beacon… That was certainly something, if nothing else. Jade continues, "So, I was minding my business, setting up a few traps for Grimm on one of the paths near my camp. This was back when I only had one, I've learned since then. Grimm activity had been higher than usual, so I had been doing a good bit of fighting. I guess it attracted the attention of Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch, because one day they walked into camp and tried talking to me. I'll admit, I kind of panicked and attacked them, but everything was ok."

Oh, yeah, just leave out the part where I got sent flying by a fucking vine into a pitfall trap filled with fire dust. Thank the gods my semblance was already active, otherwise I would have been cooked.

"Then, once I made sure everyone was ok, they took me back to Beacon, and the semester started soon after. They were really happy that I joined, actually. Like a new family!" Jade finishes, smiling.

"I'm pretty sure they didn't have a choi-" Lukas starts, but is cut off by a marshmallow hitting him in the face, courtesy of yours truly. I mean, probably better ways to make him shut up, but still.

I turn to Lukas and say, "Alright, dipshit, you're up."

He nods, and speaks, "So, when I was twelve my father, who was a massive piece of shit, sold me off to the mafia to get out of debt he had accumulated by gambling. Mom couldn't do anything, and honestly, I don't even know what happened to her…"

Levi chokes on his food, and gives a petrified look to Lukas. "You what?" he asks.

"Oh, it gets worse." I say. Lukas rolls his eyes.

"Anyways, yeah, got stuck there for all of two weeks before I ran away. Then it was just survival for a bit, pickpocketing, you know, whatever I could do to survive. Long story short, one day this guy saw me doing my thing, yeah, and decided I could be useful. He invited me to join his crime syndicate, and I said yes. I mean, it was that or die, right?" Lukas continues, "So, I guess I kind of had a father-son type thing with the leader of the syndicate. I mean, the guy raised me for years, taught me a bunch of things."

I chime in, "And that's why our dear Lukas here is so bad at fighting Grimm, but good at fighting people."

"Do you always need to bring that up?" he asks.

"Yes."

"Whatever. As I was saying, he taught me a bunch of stuff, and there was also this girl there, who was kind of like an older sister to me. Once again, she taught me a bunch of different skills, and overall just made my life much easier. One day, though, a job went wrong, and my semblance kind of went crazy. Electricity was going everywhere, sparks flying, and I passed out. Woke up in an interrogation room, and a certain white haired man was sitting across from me, sipping coffee. The rest is history." Lukas concludes.

"Wow, makes me look bland in comparison…" Levi says, staring into the fire. He perks back up, and looks at Lukas when he speaks.

"That's probably a good thing, though. Then again, doubt your life's going to stay boring for much longer. You're stuck with us now." Lukas says. He then turns to me, and I already know what he's going to say.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Lemme eat one more, first." I say. After roasting another marshmallow, I make a s'more, and eat it. "So, my dad knew Ozpin, apparently. He must have been super close friends, or whatever, right? Well, during a particularly bad Grimm attack, my parents... they uh… both died, so that left me all alone. Being the only child of two only children is certainly a stroke of shitty luck. So... yeah... Granted, Uncle Ozzy came to save the day, and decided that I'd be a great candidate for Beacon, assuming my semblance developed well. It uh… certainly did. Still remember accidentally burning a coloring book once. So, along with the other teachers, I was given lessons and such at the same ages you guys would have been in school. Well, Levi, anyways. So, naturally, with some time, effort, and the fact that I hardly interacted with anyone else due to the age gaps, I became this." I gesture to myself. I stick a piece of chocolate into my mouth, and eat it.

"Wow. Why do all of you have such depressing backgrounds?" Levi asks.

I shrug. "Dunno. But yeah, it isn't as bad as that makes it sound. Despite what you'd think, he actually cares a lot. I mean, he definitely tries his hardest, that's for sure. I guess I just wasn't destined for a typical life, but, eh. I'll be alright."

Jade nods, and eats a graham cracker. I decide to lean back, which is a bad idea. If you recall, I'm sitting on a tree stump, not a chair, and I almost fall off. I try to play it off with a nervous laugh, and Lukas sneers at me. I start to notice the crash from the energy drink start to hit, and stand up, dusting myself off.

"Y'know, I'm gonna go take a nap. Energy drink's wearing off, and I'm a little tired."

"Alright, yeah, sleep well, Doge." Levi says.

I walk over to the tent, and take my shoes off as soon as I step inside, leaving them by the door. Or entrance. Look, I don't know, I don't camp. I take off my bandolier, setting it aside, and also lay my sword with it, leaving all my weapons in a neat little pile. I then take off my jacket, leaving it to the side. I fiddle with the zipper on my sleeping bag for a minute, before realizing I'm acting like a dumbass, and just lay down in it. I close my eyes, and let myself fall asleep…

…

However long later, probably a few hours based on the fact that it's dark, I can hear a guitar being played, and Lukas singing. Yeah, he can play guitar, because of course he can. It's Lukas, are you really surprised at this point?

I can hear his voice singing from outside, "…hearts of the depraved. We've turned their people into slaves, and we've given up before we've even tried."

I know that song, he's practiced it before… It'll come to me, I'm sure. I put on my shoes and jacket, and step outside. Starts are beginning to come into view, though slightly obscured by the rolling clouds. A bit of a wind is starting to blow, which is making me that much more thankful for my jacket.

"And oh my weary soul, we've met your kind before, set fire to us all. And oh sweet providence, come save us from ourselves, from hell and consequence." Lukas continues. Ah, that's it, Providence. He notices me walking over while strumming the solo. "Joined the living once again, Doge?"

I nod. "Just about." I sit down on the stump I claimed earlier, and toss a marshmallow into my mouth. Lukas continues playing his guitar and singing. He plays some songs I know, like C'mon Down, and there's also a song that I've never heard from him before here and there. Haven't heard it on a Poor Man's Poison album either, so maybe he came up with it on his own? Or maybe it's just a bit underground, I don't know. Jade offers me some beef jerky, and I take a couple pieces. The salt is definitely a nice contrast to the nothing but sugar I've been eating. I chew on it while Lukas wraps up the song, and everyone gives him a nice little applause. As the show concludes, we're left to just ourselves, and the crackle of the campfire.

Jade suddenly perks up, as if having noticed something and turns to me, an alert look in her eyes. "Doge, you used your semblance to start the fire, correct?" she asks, her tone filled with urgency. I nod. She stands up, and walks a bit out of the camp. Before I even know what's happening, thick shoots of wood burst from the ground and start weaving together. Soon, the entire camp is encased in this cage borne from Jade's semblance.

"Jade!" I shout, standing up. "What are you doing?"

"They're here. Arm yourselves as quickly as you can." is all that she says before a trio of Beowolves jump at her. In a split second they're all skewered on the ends of sharp stones. Right, we're doing this.

"You heard her, grab your shit!" I bark while scrambling to my tent. I sling my bandolier over my shoulder, and check to make sure my weapon's loaded. I run back out to see that Jade's off in the distance, still killing Grimm. One flies through the air howling before ending up in a spike pit, which explodes a second later. "Jade! Drop the barrier!"

There's no response. An Ursa charges at the wooden cage, but suddenly vines wrap around its throat and body before it gets dragged into the canopy by vines. It doesn't come back down. Fuck, that girl is horrifying.

"Jade! Damn it!" I shout. Levi runs up behind me, and I hold out my hand. "Stay back, I'm burning through it." He nods, and makes some distance. Meanwhile, Lukas is loading his revolver. I hold out a hand at the enclosure, and start burning through it. It's reinforced with her aura, so it's taking me a minute.

"Doge?" Lukas asks.

"I'm fucking trying!" I shout, forcing more energy through my hand. The wood's starting to give way, the wood darkening and withering beneath the flames. Once the first signs of failure appear, the rest of the barrier follows suit. I break through, and rush forward. Most of Jade's traps have been triggered, so I'm not too worried about watching my step. Whilst moving towards the sounds of wailing trees, snapping branches, and screaming Grimm, I watch as a Boarbatusk rolls towards me, which I respond by stomping, causing a jet of fire to erupt under the Grimm and send it barrelling into a tree. I spin around and slash its throat with my sword.

"Four eyed fuck..." I mumble, watching it dissolve. I continue trying to catch up to Jade, only for a pair of Beowolves to approach me. I pull the pin on a grenade and sling it into the air. A few moments later, it explodes, and I grab control of the flames with my left hand. I slam them downwards, covering the creatures in the incendiary mixture. I continue, just walking through the flames. The pained howls of the dying beasts draw in three more Beowolves, because we didn't learn from last time, now did we?

Suddenly, Levi has smashed one's head into the ground, leaving mush where its face used to be. He then takes the second one out by breaking its left leg, and stomping on its windpipe. Lukas struggles to line up the last one, so I assist him. First, I sheath Hell's Retriever, and then I grab it by the snout and slam its jaws closed. "Shoot the damn thing, Lukas!" I shout, while the monster's body jerks. I grunt and pull it back. There's a loud bang, and it's what I'm guessing are its lungs. Do Grimm have organs? Oh, what the fuck ever, I'm not Lukas, I don't give a shit. I drop the body, and continue forward once my sword is back in my hand. Next up is a single Beowolf. That's like, fucking cute and all, but I just hit it out of it's pounce with a nice left hook, and stab it through the eye before it can even start to recover. I then realize that I punched a boneplate without my gauntlets. Oh, that's gonna hurt tomorrow.

In the distance, I hear Jade screaming. Not out of pain, mind you, but primal rage. Suddenly, about five or six Beowolves come flying towards me, landing on wooden spikes that launch from the dirt to "catch" them. As the spikes shoot from the ground, I can hear popping sounds as the growth of the wood is sped up. We're getting close, I guess.

Moving on, there's the sound of trees creaking, and splinters go flying as an Alpha Ursa comes blitzing through the trees. Its eyes are locked on me, and I sigh. "Oh, wow, I'm the one with the most aura in your eyes? How charming." I glance at the others. "Catch up to Jade. I'll deal with this."

They start moving, but not before Lukas shouts, "Don't die, jackass! I'm not dealing with an even more emo Blake!"

"First of all- Oh, whatever, fuck you!" I yell back. I then look back at the overgrown teddy bear, and shrug. "Right… Just you and me…" I hold out one of my hands, and a rush of warmth flows through me as a jet of flame goes spewing from my palm. It smacks the Ursa in the face, and it doesn't take kindly to that. The big bastard swipes at me, and… Ok, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, it smacks the fuck out of me. I get sent a solid ten or fifteen feet back, and groan. Once I make sure that my jacket's alright, I glare. The button on my sword's clicked, and now I'm holding a double barrel shotgun.

Right, new plan. Two grenades left, gun's loaded with dragon's breath, and I have the best idea ever. First, I fire both barrels of the shotgun, which hits it near the eyes. It swipes at its face, trying to combat something that already fizzled out. I dash forward and swap back to sword mode as I do something that Blake would kill me if she ever saw me pull. While the Alpha Ursa recovers, I summon a burst of fire right below me, and jump at what I hope is the perfect time to send me right at this thing. Once in the air, I point my sword right at its shoulder, and land with the most satisfying squelching sound I've ever heard. It roars and bucks, mouth wide open. With one hand still on my sword, the other moves to my chest and pulls the pin on an incendiary grenade. I then tear it off my bandolier, and chuck it into its mouth.

With one fluid motion I tear my sword from the doomed creature's flesh and kick off. I kind of eat shit, landing on my ass, and look up at the Ursa. I flip it off with both hands as the furry fuck's head turns into an inferno. It topples over and lands next to me with a nice "thud." I grab my sword and stand up, snickering to myself and carry forward. This is the second time I've pulled that on an Ursa. Ursai are so easy to do that to, I'm telling you. Big dumb idiots always roar when you stab their sides, and give you a free shot at shoving a bomb down their throats.

After a little more traveling, I see Lukas fighting a Boarbatusk. It charges him, and he does the dumbest but most beautiful I've ever seen. He grabs one of the tusks, and swings himself onto it's back. He then draws Solace and jams the blade into its head. It falls over, sliding towards me, stopping a few feet short of me. Lukas gets off as it fades away. "So, I see you're faring well…"

I've got plenty of Grimm guts, ashes, and dirt on my clothes and skin. "Yup. You look a bit rocky, however. You alright?" I ask.

"I'm figuring it out as I go. Still not used to fighting things with no sense of self preservation." he admits, putting six new rounds into his gun. That reminds me, and I slide two shells into my own gun, and then revert to sword form.

"You get used to it. Where's Jade and Levi?" I ask. I get my answer soon enough. A deathstalker gets pulled to the ground by a metric fuckton of vines and several spikes of wood and stone shoot through its carapace, and Levi starts dumping round after round into the beast's face. It dies rather quickly, honestly. Jade's looking a bit out of it, and is getting a bit sadistic with her kills. That's the side effect of her semblance, after all. This is exemplified as she uses vines to grab all four of a Beowolf's limbs, and then pulls it against a tree until it breaks apart like a toy. Helluva lot of black ichor now coats that specific tree, and the surrounding area. That… looks like it.

"Hey, Jade, I think… I think we're clear." Levi says, looking a bit tired. Adrenaline must be wearing off, and he probably deactivated his semblance. I do the same for myself, and can suddenly feel how chilly it is.

Jade speaks, "I understand. Go back to camp." Her voice lacks any sense of… sense. It's very blunt and without any sort of flair. Almost like stereotypical caveman voices or something, honestly. We head back to camp, as the environment seems more… lively? The trees seem to make more noises in the wind, and a few squirrels and such make themselves known. Odd, considering it's well past sundown. Probably a certain rabbit faunus' doing, accidental or otherwise. We get back to camp without much incident, and the walk is mostly silent. Jade is a bit twitchy, but I mean, that's normal after she uses her semblance like that. Me, however, I'm fucking tired. I could have been a bit more liberal, instead of just being flashy. Granted, getting bitchslapped by the Alpha Ursa did not do my aura my favors.

"We go home when sun rise." Jade says, raising the barricade back up. No one protests. I just toss myself into my tent, and pass out.

In the morning, I'm woken up by the sound of Jade's voice, "Wake up! We're leaving!" Soon after, there's a sound that's like the reverse of what I heard when her barrier went up. Like the branches are untangling and going underground. I make sure Levi's awake before heading outside and yawning. Jade's tent is packed up, and so is Lukas' tent. Levi and I pack up my tent, and we start on the walk back home. I'll be honest, it's dull. Nothing happens. I mean, that's probably a good thing, but still.

Once home, I decide to head straight for my room. I'll text the others whenever I'm clean, and smell like flowers. Or… sea salt. Or… pinecones. Or whatever the fuck "sport" smells like. I genuinely have too many soaps. I like the flowery ones the most, though, so that's what I'll go with. It's probably six in the morning whenever we get back, and it's Saturday, so that means we have two more days of break. Today and tomorrow. Fun.

Ok, back to actually getting into my room. I take my key out of my bag, open the door, and then toss my bag aside. I kick off my shoes, which I also need to clean, and head to the fridge. The kettle's on the stove, for some reason. I could swear that I didn't leave it out last time I was here… Maybe I'm just tweaking. After giving it some thought, I shrug it off, and do what I had planned, which is grabbing an energy drink from the fridge. I then put it back, and grab a sports drink instead. I drink about half of it before putting it back, and walking to the bathroom. I then start the water and head to my room to grab my clothes.

Now, imagine my surprise when I see Blake laying in my bed, all bundled up under the covers, reading a book. Not just any book, mind you, the book. Yeah, Ninjas of Love. She's blushing for what I'm guessing is two reasons. One: I'm home a day early. Two: She's probably reading one of the more NSFW scenes.

"Oh, uh, morning, Blake." I say.

"I… When… I thought…" she stammers.

"Got attacked by Grimm. We called it early. I was a badass, as per usual. Anyways, I'm gonna go shower. You keep doing what you're doing, I won't interfere. Love you." I say while grabbing some fresh clothes.

"Oh, uh, wow. Love you too…" she mumbles, going back to reading.

I then head into the bathroom and take myself a nice, long, varying temperature shower. Like, I start it hot, then make it cold about midway through. Once that's done, I get dressed, and step out. Now… now to figure out what to do with the rest of break…

Fresh out of the shower, and just a little exhausted, I decide to check my scroll and let the others know I'm back. There's a chance they've run into one of the others, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm informed that the others do indeed know that we're back, so, yippee. After sliding my scroll into my pocket, I head back into my room and lay down. Naturally, I snuggle up to Blake, and kiss her neck before laying down completely, and snuggling into the crook of her neck. I hear her trying to keep it together, her breathing speeding up and heartbeat spiking, before slamming the book closed and laying it aside. I know damn well what I'm doing, and she does too. So, I just let myself fall asleep, and let Blake try to figure something out. Not my fault she was reading smut first thing in the morning.

Oh, hey, look at that, something action related happened for the first time since Chapter fucking Five.

Anyways, after the next one or two chapters, the "exposition" part of the story will end, and the main plot that I promise does exist will start to happen. You know the deal by now. One to two weeks before Chapter Ten is dropped. As always, thanks for reading, and I'll hopefully see you next time!
