Hey folks! Sorry, I know, I know, you want that chapter after my evil cliff hanger! You wish to know if Nova truly died if Damian can cope! How will the implications behind everything that occurred come to a head in the coming chapters?

To answer those questions and more...I don't know! Joking! I swear. In fact, I have a chapter I have been agonizing and working on all the time I have taken my week-long break. The aftermath, the ramifications, and the emotional backlash suffered all around by those that stayed at Bastion. I simply could not get the entirety of it from my mind and it forced me to write it out. I have changed, modified, glorified and scrapped multiple attempts at this chapter and have reached one where I am, if not happy, content with the flow. That will come out far later tonight/early morning tomorrow as I finish it up. Consider it an early Fourth of July present from me to you! ^.^

Now, after multiple requests, I have decided to crack and cave to your demands! Haha, I will post a vote of the top three for the next fiction in this series when I reach my month-long break. You get to choose between Total War! Pokemon! Dragon Age! I know I have a personal preference but I shall not state it as this is a gift to you, the readers, to choose what you all wish to read (By majority vote, but still).

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

Following that, I posted another fiction, my take on a System oriented reincarnation story. That was posted, honestly, so I could just get the idea out of my head and have it ready for when I am able to focus on it. Not gonna be anytime soon, chapters will only ever be when I cannot get anything else out because my head is clogged with shit that fits better in that one. Just wished to inform you all so if you saw it you didn't think I was changing focus, I am not.

Also, I wished to thank you for your on-going support and enjoyment of this story. I know that errors abound, even if small, and that will begin to change over the coming weeks as I undertake going back over with a proofreader I have had on the back burner until we reached the 600-mile marker, which we have! Woot woot indeed.

The final thing is the artwork, I made a promise and I can say I located someone a great deal more reliable who gave me a time-frame of about two weeks until the Cover Art is done and ready for uploading for folks. The Artist is fairly talented from what I have seen and is receptive. The Fan Art is taking a bit longer because I have to build up personal funds to pay the artist for it. So please forgive the time delay on that front and look forward to it!
