Thank you for reading up this part. We finished the Serpent Cavern, defeated the snake witch, and saved the druids.

You guys did terrific with keeping our 3 heroes alive. I know you all waiting such a long time to see the conclusion and some of you are holding your breath to see the next thrilling arch in the story as they trek to the Misty Monastary to research the relic's past, but sadly you may have to wait just a bit longer.

I may be able to post one more chapter to take the rest of december and maybe half of January (visiting my family at that time, my sister had twins)

Im spending a lot of time on other hobbies and working hard on a new writing project. "Dead Man Divison: The Helix Journals", that, like this project, has seen its share of long waiting.

But DMD is a passion project of mine and shares a personal journey of dealing with many memories of my time deployed in Iraq. Even though it uses made up characters and features a sci fi background. I draw the characters and their personalities and backgrounds with people ive met in my life. For example Spears is my dad, and Woods is my younger self. Kekipi is an army bud i met in basic training, and Collins is another friend i had in AIT

If you are only following me for lost relic, i am deeply sorry this story takes so long to write. it takes about a week or 2 to gather the results and i have to find the time to sit down and write the story, but since it takes so long, i must reread the entire thing each chapter to get back into the heads of the characters. I have a metric ton of notes that deal with nearly every out come and place on the map, since this was actually a d&d campaign i designed but never got to play all the way through....hence the the system being a litrpg theme.

If you like my writing and want a story that has a lot more chapters out, head over to my page and check out the Dragon Realms Saga. DRS has 2 complete books and the 3rd is 100% written and is being posted 3 times a week! I have been working on the 4th book's outline for a few months, but got burnt out on the project so ive been taking a break.

There WILL be 6 books in all for the series, but the first 3 took me 9 years to write, its a true writing journey to get through, man

Any ways, im so happy i have you followers. In the grand scheme where other books have 1000 followers, having just 1 means someone out there likes my work...i guess thats good enough for me. =)

So Maybe wait a few more days for one more final chapter before i go on a holiday break, and hopefully i can get back to this story before i finish the 2nd part of DMD. Ill try not to go on such long hiatus's for this story, but like i said, im real busy and the nature of the story makes it take a lot of effort to write.
