First off, an apology. These chapters have been written and available on my patreon (for free) for quite a few months now but I hadn't uploaded them here because...well...I didn't have a cover. 

Thta seems like a dumb reason but I was quite perplexed on how to visually present this chapter. On previous volumes I had a pretty strong idea (or I didn't care as much), and I realy enjoyed last volume's cover quite a bit, it had this weird pattern on it, looked cool as heck (I thought so anyway).

But this is the last volume, by the way, this is the last volume so I wanted to do it justice. I wasn't sure what to do for it and it was something I was struggling with for literal months, meanwhile I had written many chapters of the story and I wanted to release them so I did so on my patreon, until I reached chapter 3 and was like "No, I can't realize past chapter 3 and not give free access to the first chapters because that is sucky and I don't want to put a permanent pay wall on my content, that's rude."

So instead I just gave the previous chapters public access, so that's what it's been like for the past, I don't know, year?

It's been awhile. 

So now, if you're a wattpad only reader, behold, a spam of chapters that are all public and available to you. I had thought about releasing them one at a time, but I figured y'all had waited long enough. If you waited that is. I'm fully aware that my absence on Wattpad probably made a lot of you go "Dude, what story? I forgot everything that happened" or you're not someone who waited because you just recently discovered the story and here you are reading this long intro to a volume you were like 'Huh? There was a hiatus? Lucky me I read after that!" 

Lucky you indeed.

Anyway. This is the beginning of the end. I'm excited, but I'm also nervous! As I'm writing this I've been on wattpad 10 years! Wow, that's a lot of years. It's been fun, and I've learned a lot from this story, and if you've made it to this volume, thank you! I really appreciate it! 

This was the first story I fully committed to writing and releasing, and I'm happy to say I got the chance to end it. A lot of fanfics fizzle out with no conclusion, I know I've read plenty that got deleted later on or just never recieved another update, and it sucks to have a story you care about never reach a conclusion. 

Well, here we are, on the way to that end and happily so, but still bitter to look back and see that yes, this finality means goodbye as well. It's been a good run, I've learned some great lessons about writing and made some great friends along the way.

I've also made some horrable speling airers. 

(That was a joke, get it?)

I'm sure the numbers on this volume will be drastically smaller than the ones that came before, but I'll still be proud of it. 

Thanks for coming along on the journey and as a thank you, please enjoy some of the chaotic art from behind the scenes.

Would have loved to a do a big group shot like this, but I found I didn't have the time to do it. Maybe one day I'll make a poster! One daaaaaay!
