Here, dear reader, is where we'll be coming to the end of the first arc of the story. We've gotten to meet our characters a bit, seen a little of the new world, and reclaimed one small -- though twisted -- corner of it.

I'll be taking a break from the story for a week or so, going back over it and doing the editing I promised -- formatting, grammar checking, and all that good stuff.

Arc Two will start with the characters in Hel, exploring their options a bit, and then return to them coming back and exploring their way through the new world. Matthew wants to find Kristy still. Rebecca wants to check on her family. The dungeon needs to be strengthened and the people inside need to start being taught to defend it for themselves. They're still on the hunt for proper clothing and gear for everyone...

Arc One was our basic introduction to the story proper. Arc Two will now build upon the world that we've seen glimpses of and explore it further.

At this point, you guys can feel free to ask me anything you'd like (based on this series, or anything else really -- I don't mind), and I'll do what I can to to answer your questions.

I assure you guys, there's no question you ask that I can't answer. (No promises that the answer is always correct, but I can answer it no matter what!) I try not to give away future events or plot developments, but anything else is fair game...

For those of you that haven't, take the time to hop over to the main page and vote, favorite, and follow the story here. Take time and offer a review of the story, if you have time. For those that have voted or did a review earlier in the storyline, take a second to update your thoughts and stars to reflect how you feel about it after all this time.

All comments, reviews, and opinions appreciated. Doesn't mean I'll agree with all of them, but I do appreciate getting them.

And with no further ado,

I turn the floor over to all of you!
