Hello everyone! Sorry if you thought this was actually a chapter... it's not.

This is to let you know that I'm officially going on long-term hiatus. Not because I'm abandoning the story, but actually because I'll be serving a mission for my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so excited! I hope you can be too. And if there are any of you still interested in 18 months, maybe we can revisit Elena and the gang together. Until then, I won't have the time nor internet access to update the story, so I need to set it aside for now.

I'll miss you all and all of your fantastic stories too, and I'm super sad that I'll miss the Siren and the Crown, but I know it will be worth it. And if you want to know why I've made this crazy decision, maybe check out - they have some great explanations of our values and beliefs. ;)

I'm out of time because I'm literally leaving in less than four hours, so I'll end with this: "One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine." -The First Doctor, 1964

I'll see you in summer 2017 ;)

love,

maj
