This story has evolved for years, which locations and characters, and names all changing, but the premises stay the same. Likely, you will see multiple iterations of chapters, with constant edits and updates as I move forward with this. Nothing is ever fully perfect on the first try. That is the glory of the online writing platform, to be able to make changes and edits as I go. One day, I hope to publish this story, so feedback is very appreciated. Please keep in mind that while my writing has improved tenfold since I first created stories, I still am disabled, specifically dysgraphia and ADHD. I've always loved writing but sometimes writing doesn't love me. So there will be errors, that's just the reality dysgraphia brings. If you spot one, be kind. It's a good reminder that you don't know everything about the authors who write the stories you read. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this journey with me as I embark on trying to put down a story that has been floating in my head for years. Fair warning, this is set in a fantasy world. I will do my best to update the pronunciation guide as I go since I will be creating more characters as the story progresses.

I hope you enjoy this story, and I hope I get to finish it.
