Grief, Sorrow, and an Update on the Future of Chronicles

Hello everyone, this is Owen Chaser once more. I know the last time I made an announcement it would be to inform everyone that CosmicVlad would return, and that Chronicles would be coming back when he does. Well I just received word about his situation finally, but it's news that I was hoping that would never come, and one that has me in tears as I write this.

Earlier this morning, I received an email from Vlad's father informing me that he went through the emails I sent to Vlad, and it was through him that I…..God, I still can't wrap my head around this…but it is with a heavy heart that I am telling you all this…..

His father informed me that…..Cosmic Vlad…..has died…..on July 3rd, the day I lost contact with him….

I do not know the details of his passing, and I am too scared to ask the family how it happened, but I do know for a fact that his death has left a looming shadow over all of us. Even now I am crying as I write to inform you all of what happened, and it has left a void in my heart.

And I know people will be asking what will be the fate of Chaldean Chronicles now that Vlad has passed away, and I will be honest. I cannot write this alone. Chronicles is too big of a project to handle as a single individual.

However, that does not mean Chaldean Chronicles is canceled. It will continue to be written. I will be finding another co writer to help me tackle this project, and to make sure that it gets done one day.

I know that this would be controversial considering the circumstances, but I refuse to let this story sit on the shelf, and collect dust. That would be an insult to the man who convinced me to write Chronicles in the first place, and I will not insult Vlad's memory by shelving Chaldean Chronicles.

I am not going to just write this for me, and it'll not just be for you guys now either. I am going to continue writing Chronicles for Vlad, and to honor his memory.

As for his other stories, I regret to inform you all that those will now be shelved, and won't be continued. I cannot bear to touch those as those were all of Vlad's stories, and I do not have the blueprints to continue writing those anyway.

I know that this is news that no one would want to hear, and I know that this isn't something I wanted to hear as well, but I had to inform you all of Vlad's passing, and what the future holds. With that out of the way, I have to get this off my chest, and to basically tell how I feel…..and my own goodbye to someone who has been so dear to me for the past two years….

Cosmic Vlad, you were without a shadow of a doubt, one of the kindest, most patient and funniest people I have known. I can't help but continue to remember how excited you were to prepare to go to the college of your choice, how you wanted to be a biologist, and how you wanted to chase your dreams. I'll always treasure the days where we would just throw out ideas for Chronicles, and your other works, and how we would laugh, cry and lose track of time. And I still remember the day that you convinced me that we should write Chronicles, and how we continued to talk about future chapters together.

For two years, you have been not just a friend, nor a co writer. You were a best friend, and a brother to me, and it's because of you that I opened up to so many more people, and broke out of my shell.

Goodbye Vlad….I miss you so much already, and I promise you that I will carry on Chronicles to honor you.

Adíos mi hermano.
