Alright people a lot of you are confused, and angry cant forget angry, about the last post. i get it that i post a lot of Non-chapter stuff on this site, so imma stop doing that now. it's just so tempting since RR is the place where my fan base is heaviest and i want to keep them in the know about anything and everything that relates in the story, but i can see how that would be annoying so i'll stop now and do that on my official site.

next point is don't freak out about Patreon, and DONT PLEDGE YET!!!!!!!!!! (and that means you that one guy who already did!!!). yesterdays annoncement was made when i was high off finishing a few essays and MAKING the Patreon itself, the amounts needed for pledges were mostly my own joke, and the actual ones are still being worked out, but for now the main one is set for 1 USD a month.

if any of you have seen my website, or paid close attention to my little pre/post chapter rants, you should know that my technical skills are about as good as the average monkey's. technology, code, and techie words confuse and scare me, i just like to keep things simple. so give me a good week to work out how to work this stuff before doing anything with it, oh and comment or message me about any issues you find so i can fix them...... it would not do to lock a fan out of viewing a chapter because i wasn't able to figure out how to get it to work.

next about the e-book, it is not looking good........ first thing i want to do is copyright my story so i can protect it, unfortanitly that apperently costs money......... money i spent on the website................ FML........ so THAT little project is getting pushed back a bit, hence why i thought it was important to SET UP the Patreon now instead of later. also the e-book isn't really being made for you guys on RR, you already HAVE ways to get your BB fix, its for branching out and reaching other readers. does that mean you CAN'T buy the e-book? of course not, if you want the e-book get it. i ain't gonna turn away more cash...... but you dont really NEED to anymore for the bonuses.

next i'd like to thank Bartimaeus for the helpful comment on the last post which alerted me to a problem i missed when setting up a patron reword, and Aere for just being an awesome and dedicated fan who is doing WAY more than i ever expected one would.

also those making fan-art you guys get a thank you as well, but please email it to: [email protected]

otherwise i probably wont see it, and that would suck for everyone.................

anyway i am probably forgetting stuff, but i'm sure people will point it out in the comments. here is the promised teaser (cause Bartimaeus was right, what i was doing was kinda dumb....) so that you all don't flame me with angry comments.... or take anger out on bystanders...... or family (Sobek i'm talking about you.....) and because i DO actually care about my fan-base (which needs some catchy name..... Black Bloodians? Vampire crack junkies? i don't know........)

so here is your teaser:

???

It was very white here. Just endless white as far I could comprehend.

The only thing that interrupted the white were the visions. I could never tell who or what was doing all I saw in the visions, but I saw things as if I were looking through their eyes. I think that whoever this person was it used to be me, but that is just a feeling I get…….

I saw visions of poverty, living like an animal on dirty streets and scrounging for any food I could find.

Visions of cruelty, people who hurt others, and me, for the simplest of reasons. This person has better food, this one more shiny, round, yellow things. This one is a little different from the others, or the worst ones who hurt others for reasons that not even THEY seemed to know.

Next were the visions of blades. Swords of all different types, big, small, wide, thin, short, long, serrated, razor-edged, and lastly the perfect one. It was beautiful and made me happy to see for some reason. It was long and had a two handed grip, but I somehow knew it was light enough to wield with just one hand. And that it was JUST wide and thick enough to defend against even the heaviest of blades. I think it might have been made for me, it seemed perfect for me in every way.

Then came the visions of death. I saw that battle was truly the greatest evil of the world. The things I saw the blood and horror and death, how it was EVERYWHERE, how it forced people to do worse for fear of ending up like the ones screaming. How I was the one who caused the most pain……

When those visions faded into the white I was happy to see them go. I seemed to be a monster if I was truly the one whose eyes I viewed these visions through. I would never pause, never stop until none around me were able to continue living.

Perhaps it is best I am in the white place now. In this place I can no longer inflict such pain to others….

Then came the best of the visions. There was a boy and a girl, and I HELPED them. They seemed to be important, and I seemed to follow them to accomplish their task. That was nice of me.

We fought many strange animal things, and many bad people who hurt those around them. For some reason all this death seemed to matter less and less to me. It seemed almost right that they die for threatening my important people.

We meet other people, they were nice. They joined us, and I seemed to get closer to the first girl. It was nice and made me happy for some reason, but I think I liked this feeling more than trying to figure out why I feel it.

Maybe I should just accept these feelings and stop trying to understand them…..

That was when the visions changed. I didn’t want to see this, and I didn’t know why.

The nice people died….

I killed the people who killed them. I killed them all….

I fought even though there was so much pain.

I helped the two nice people who left. It was the first girl and boy.

I protected the girl.

I killed the man who tried to hurt her and the boy.

I think she called my name. She looked sad and called me “Zair”.

So my name is Zair? That’s good to know--------------------------------------

anyway i actually have time to write today, one of my classes canceled and now i have 2-3 hours to kill, so rejoice! i also hope this cleared up what i'm trying to do, and any confusion my fans have. or at least got you to put away the torches and pitchforks until the next mix-up...... till the next post.
