Hello all. Demon here.

I would just like to say sorry to all of you. It has been a long time since this story was last updated, and I have been surprised to find it is still getting new follows and faves even now, months after the last update. To all of you hoping this is the next chapter of this story, I must once again apologize. I can no longer continue to work on this story. Between a long hospitalization, difficulty envisioning the next part of the story, and the worst case of writer's block I have ever had, I have lost all drive to continue writing A Different Path.

Luckily for all of the readers that have enjoyed this story, one of the very first followers proposed an idea that I couldn't help but agree with; so, as of several weeks ago, A Different Path will be taken over by Frozen Thorn. I will continue to work alongside him on this story, but I cannot claim the continued work as my own. At most, I'm a beta and a soundboard to bounce ideas off of. I hope that all of you that have enjoyed the little that I've written can continue to follow the story, even if I'm not the one at the helm.

Thank you once again, thorn, for making sure that my lack of inspiration would not be the death of this fic. While I make no claims to be one of the best writers, I do find pride in my abilities, and this is what I feel to be my best work so far. Thank you for making sure that it lives on past me.

It's been a ride, people, and I'm sorry it has to end this way. But let's hope I'm able to find some inspiration on something else, eh? Maybe one day I'll come back to writing in RWBY, maybe back to this same base idea. But that day won't be for a while, I feel.
