I'd like to thank the Reddit /HFY and Royal Road communities for everything.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

It's been a long road, but we reached it.

I'd also like to thank my wife and kids for putting up with me.

And Zeus, Father of the Muses, for blessing me with lightning bolts.

Two hits in 3 years. Well, one hit, one near hit that knocked me down.

Just shy of 3,000,000 words.

We did it.

Thank you for being here.
