Alrighty! We made it through!! Demon Heart is completed!!!

So if you guys remember, I did a similar end chapter in Angel Wings where I just talked a bit with you guys about randomish stuff, relating to the book, and what was to come. This will be pretty similar.

On the last 'random end' bit I posted a video made by an amazing person, who I truly admire. Unfortunately, her video was removed. I made one, myself that I'll replace it with soon. I made it a long time ago, so it's not very good and my own images of the characters have changed since then, but I still hope you enjoy when I finally get that up.

Instead, I decided to make a little collage of fanart I've received from you guys over all the time I've been writing these two books, that have just blown me away! Some of them are my art that I tried to match with all your guy's greatness :b. Sadly, I couldn't fit all of it in one so below is a few more. I have to apologize and say that I don't have all the credits for who made what. I've lost some of them. I'm so so sorry about that! If you see yours, please claim it and I'll put you on the list of artists below!!

Before we get into anything else, I need to bring up another matter. Wattpad sent a message saying that they're taking away the 'private' setting on chapters later this month. I really would like to keep the last chapter not so out in the open like the rest of the book because the twist at the end is kind of important to me. So when that setting goes off, the last chapter called 'The Vulnerable Rise' will be removed. If people would like to see it, they're going to have to ask permission. So if you're reading it after finishing 'Finally' and that chapter I mentioned before is not longer up, please message me and I'll try to help you out. --- That being said I might bring up spoilery things from that chapter in the rest of this one, so I will put a big *SPOILER* before it's brought up. Also be wary of any comments. They might say things too.

1. Last time on here, I did a last shoutout, but I've been unable to keep track of everyone. I'm sorry about that. I've thanked some of the talented artists, as seen above. I went back and forth about doing a few more fun facts after the Q&A because there is some fun stuff that not a lot of people know about this book, its characters, and myself. However, I decided to just keep with this for now and maybe doing some fun facts at another time. But I am of course also thanking those who participated in this part as well!

Q: Where did the idea for this whole story start? (by: @GoldenTigerEyes )

A: I guess the idea originated from an old anime called 'DNAngel'. The show started with two winged guys in a big battle. But he one with dark hair and black wings was the good guy, and the guy with the blond hair and white wings was the villain. Generally, especially in kid's shows, it would have been reversed. It was obviously that small trait that I sort of stole and went with in my own direction. Clearly, that simple idea grew and morphed into its own concept. Lucis isn't the villain...(at least at this point...who knows what could happen in book 3??) But the original scene that started this whole thing was the bell-tower scene from 'Angel Wings', except the brothers are fighting each other. Of course you get that in the dream sequence from Evabelle's pov and then in this book too.

Q: When did you first start writing? (by: @bigBLUEelephant )

A: I can't remember the exact age, but I was very young...maybe like seven or eight. My parents sent us to our rooms for quiet time, after lunch, one day and I decided to write in this little notebook, I'd gotten for my birthday from one of my friends. The story itself was terrible, but I loved writing it so much! After that, I went straight to my parents and told them I wanted to be a writer when I grew up! And that hasn't changed :D

Q: Del and Faux are like my favorite characters!! So I was just wondering when their birthdays were? Also will Faux end up with Calandra because I so ship them! (by: @angeldemonlover )

A: Faux and Del are awesome! I love them too ;) They're both such a fun to write. As for their birthday's I might as well just post everyone's!

Birthdays:

Evabelle: June 22, 2000 (Yes, her birthday was innitially June 2nd, but I'm changing it to this for the next draft.

Aza: August 16, 1999

Lucis: November 21, 1998

Del: November 21, 1998

Calandra: April 3, 1992

Kai: September 18, 1970s

Faux: September 25, 1994

As for the second question, that's a bit spoilery. Calandra and Faux, Calandra and Kai, Calandra and Raoul...she'd kind of shipped with a lot of people. We'll have to see what happens in book 3!

Q: I love Kai more than I loved any fictional character, which is just crazy!!! But the second half of demon heart had a severe lack of my precious vampire elf. Please tell me we will be seeing a fair amount of him in book three???? (by: @emmyandmax )

A: Absolutely! Kai has always been a big part of the story. It's difficult juggling so many characters, so he was kind of gone for a bit near the end. He has his own issues he's dealing with back on the Spiral. But we'll be getting some info on that too in book 3. He still helping Evabelle in the war and the elves made their pact to be on the Anahalian's side, so don't worry! Kai ain't leaving us...at least for now...

* SPOILERS if you haven't read the last chapter*

Q: I have more questions too actually...Gem and Thom are so pure, I ship them even though they're babies. Will they play a part in book 3 too? (by: @emmyandmax )

A: Yes ;) The little kids in this are not the spotlight of the books it's true, but the two of them will definitely have their own role to play.

* SPOILERS if you haven't read the last chapter*

Q: Also how is CJ? (by: @emmyandmax )

A: That's a great question. He's been through A LOT! And we didn't get any kind of resolution with him, so we'll have to see how he's dealing with everything, finally not as a familiar, in the next book. Sorry, I can't say more than that.

Q: So I have a question for your q&a. Your story is amazing with so many amazing characters, however I've noticed they're all pretty much white, straight people. I'm just wondering if you had planned on putting any lgbt representation in the book? (by: @sleepyalways)

A: So for those of you that don't know, I am christian, so my views on certain things differ. I totally understand that representation is a big deal, so I don't want people to feel discriminated or anything, but I don't want to be hypercritical to myself and my beliefs, either. I still want people to enjoy and not be left out, though.

Originally, Evabelle was just a white girl with dark hair and freckles, but over time, her appearance in my mind changed of her. I see her with darker skin, kind of Hispanic. Anahalians have all the nationalities within them, but they live among each other, trying new things together, so they have white, black, oriental, native american, spanish, etc. They learn every human language in school, so even though they are different they live together in a harmonic balance.

Other characters that aren't just Caucasian are Kayne, who has very dark skin as well as Jamie. (I've said this before, but I'll repeat it. Jamie will be getting some more attention when I'm doing rewrites) Tru is part Chinese (she's mentioned having sharp, angled features). Raoul, though a werewolf, has Native American heritage.

As for Lgbt, Lori, one of Shaundee's friends is gay, and it was plainly stated. (Again, I'll have to work on better developing all the members of her group.) There are a few others that could be interpreted as within the community. There is a character, who I see having feelings for someone they're close to of the same gender, but it may not come up in the narrative if it doesn't adjoin to the story. People are obviously free to 'ship' as they please, though :)

Sorry that was a really long answer...

*SPOILERS if you haven't read the last chapter*

Q: A question that i have stuck in my head at the moment is if there is even a small chance the she can get her wings back. The hope they would to both her and her friends would be something Id really love to read about. (by: @LeanBasher24 )

A: This is a very difficult question to answer. I know that this was a low blow. Everyone was so looking forward to the moment where Evabelle's wings came through and she was flying goddess of awesomeness. But in the end she did get her wings. They were broken, sheared off, torn from her, but seeing her reaction, her resolve, her inner strength all come rising to the surface too, I still believe this girl might still be able to fly ;) 

"The power of the angel heart is great, Evabelle."

Q: When will you start posting book 3? (by: @peachorangeblossom & @sleepyalways )

A: That is an unknown at this point. I will be taking a little rest from this series. I'll still be writing it, but I would like to work on some of my other projects too. {See part 3 of this chapter for potential clips.}

2. So like before, I posted some things to come for the next book. Yes, there is a book 3! I will not be revealing the title at this time, but I'll give you it's initials. You can try to guess if you'd like, but I won't necessarily tell if whether you're right or wrong just yet ;) Like Angel Wings and Demon Heart it's two words so it goes (AW), (DH), and....*drum roll*....(RS)

Alrighty, in RS you will be seeing...

~some more points of view. Just like in this book, we'll be expanding to some other characters.

~new awesome and new terrible characters

~how everyone's dealing with their current situations (how Evabelle takes her new strengths to new heights, how Lucis continues to fight demon heart, how Faux continues to struggle with Tru's loss, how both CJ and Thom are coping with their trauma)

~another person gets infected with the Annihilator virus

~Aza keeping a big secret

~Kai dealing with his personal number 1 adversary

~Del accepting something he's been denying

~Cedia

~More of Lucis pov. He goes out on his own for a while

~More Raoul and Jamie

~Evabelle continuing to gather allies for the war, like the elves and others, traveling to more places in the world

~finally getting into Jovis

~Thom and Gem playing an important roll

~CJ doing something incredibly brave and dangerous

~Kai making a huge sacrifice

~Faux falling in love

~resolution on the romantic plotlines

~action! and...deaths...yes plural. There will be a lot more than one death that came back to life and one permanent one. Of the characters you know thus far, at least twelve named individuals will die (including both good guys and bad guys) , and probably a few you'll meet in the next one.

~Sorry guys, be prepared for pain, fun, love, loss and lots of...flying ;)

3. So I've mentioned this before, but as a writer, I have a million ideas! But I quite often get lost in all of them. I write about more than just angels and demons, my friends. I really would like to share some of the ideas to see what you guys think.

A few of you have checked out my new fantasy story 'The Fate's Chosen', but I will be removing it temporarily to post a little of it in my new book of 'Story Excerpts'. It will be the first one. I'll post a summary and genre then a little of what's written of each story that I have. I really want to hear which one is your favorite and which you'd love to see more of. There will be a rating system that will be further explained once I get that up. I REALLY NEED YOUR INPUT ON THIS!!! And maybe, just maybe, I'll post an excerpt from 'RS' somewhere in there ;)

4. Lastly, I just have some fun memes and textposts that made me think of my lovely characters! I hope you enjoy them!!

***
EVABELLE: I relate to Belle because she loves to read books and loves people for their souls.

AZA: I relate to Tinkerbell because she needs attention or she dies.

#Lucis

LUCIS: Just be yourself. Say something nice.

DEL: Which one? I can't do both.

#Del
***
FAUX: Why must you hurt me with words?

CALANDRA: You want me to use rocks?

I couldn't find a good pic to edit this to, but it's clearly #Aza 😜
***
AZA: Would you be quiet? I'm trying to think.

DEL: Don't worry. Doing anything for the first time is difficult.

There were a lot more somewhere, but I don't know what happened to them, but for now this is what I have. There's just one more...

*SPOILERS* Evabelle at the end of Demon Heart

AVERNO: Hah! You don't have wings!

EVABELLE: That's so sad. Alexa, play despacito.

I really hope you enjoyed all of this! Thank you again for being there everyone!!!
