- Author's Note -
This story starts quite slowly, and takes until about Chapter 16 to get rolling. I wrote this to be the kind of story you can really get into, where the world and characters are fleshed out and when the action happens it makes sense and hits hard. Thank you for reading.
Update Schedule: Every Wednesday and Sunday at 5PM PST (8PM EST)
