Hello again, Readers!

If you've not been up to speed, despite what status it may say on the story's page, it's currently on hiatus so I can set up a reboot with a BUNCH of content changed and fixed to make the reading experience much better than the first time. To help me get a better idea of what I should have in this reboot, I put up a survey based on this story last week. Sadly, that turned out to be a total bust with that 'monkey's' bullshit expensive requirements to see all your votes and responses. So, I made a new one on a different platform! I apologize if you've already done it the first time, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you can take a couple minutes to answer these questions one more time. They're the same questions as before so it shouldn't take too long to answer them again if you know what to expect. Hopefully, this won't be as much of a total bust as the last one and I can actually see everyone's responses this time with no restraints holding me back.

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

My editor and I are still working out some polished lore and magic mechanics in the reboot as we're going over the earlier chapters and you can definitely be sure it will be different from the last one. A date for the reboot hasn't been decided yet, but I'll let you know when we're getting close to that point, so please look forward to the many improvements you'll see when that time is near.

Thank you very much for your patience, I hope you and/or your mothers have celebrated Mother's Day the best you could, stay safe, and the best of luck to the start of a new week!

EDIT: Last call to take on the survey. I'll be closing it on sunday evening PST (23rd), so take it while you can. I'd put this in a separate chapter, but that word limit makes writing such a short announcement pointless and I can't make up enough fluff stuff for this for the life of me. Thanks again for the participation and support!
