Hi readers,

I decided some time ago, I was going to re-write this book, to address some plot points I was unhappy with, some major grammar and syntax issues I have with it (with subsequent writing experience - this was originally written 9 years ago), and I want to bring it up to par with the writing standards I have since set myself in my storytelling.

With this in mind, I will not be attempting to edit what I have brought to RoyalRoad with respect to this current edition of the book. I simply don't have the time, what with my current writing projects, some non-writing projects I have also undertaken, and a full time job to boot.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

So all of my subsequent chapters in this edition of the book will be posted unedited, in all of their "glory" (if you could call it that), and will stand as the obvious first edition of the story. I will schedule one a day from this point forward.

I will post an announcement when I will begin pushing out the revised edition of this story, although I will do so once I have published the third book in the series.

Thanks for your understanding, and I hope you don't mind the quality issues in this current version.
