jeSUS ive been on a break from this for at least 4 years by now. im really sorry to anyone who like this story and thought it died and never got an upd8 after a sort of cliffhanger. its just been a very, very tough 4 years for me. really bad things happened and my mental health was the worst its ever been. im still recovering, nothings like totally perfect yet and its still a struggle. im really sensitive to medications for whatever reason so finding ones that worked for me was pretty tough, and we recently found a second antidepressant that actually worked out. im able to sleep again and my interest are SORT of back, but it a good improvement and ive been able to write lately and hopefully begin making art again soon.

NOW ABOUT THIS STORY: NO i am not killing it, i still really like it but it i S. the grammars awful the syntax makes me want to cry and just yikes. i want to go through it at some point and fix it up bc again i DO like it. i cant say when thatll be since i recently started a new story, but itll hopefully happen. My tumblr url is out of date in the past chapters and im honestly too lazy to go back and fix them, so my new tumblr url is JAWD ( .com) and you can hit me up there about things if you want.

and lastly ill be posting was started but never finished, the next chapter. its not much but i thought i could at least post it for anyone who would still be interesting in the story in the year of our lord 2017 lmfao, bc getting a notification for a story that hasnt updated in forever and there being nothing but an authors note really kinda sucks, i know. i havent proof read it or anything so idk its either going to be noticeably more bad than the rest of the story (writing wise) or just as bad lol.

anyway yeah, so for anyone who bothers reading this i hope youve had a good four years and im sorry again haha

Tavra woke the next morning feeling terribly sore and unrested. She pushed her self to a sitting position stretching her legs out and after a moment of thought slid down the ace bandages around her arm and prodding at the skin near the open flesh. It was still really was gross.

She had tossed and turned all night thinking over her conversation with Equius. He had signed off shortly after giving her the extremely far-fetched solution to her problem, not sparing much more after other than agreeing to continue giving assistance and some awkward horse trivia. She wanted badly to just cry to Aradia and tell her everything and let her fix her problem like she always did, but this wasn't a situation for that. However Aradia deserved to know if her best friend was probably going on a sea troll death mission, even with the help of Equius it still really serious enough to warrant you telling your best friend and giving them the will to all her stuffed animals.

She exhaled through her nose, listening to the sounds of Karkat bustling around in the pantry as she sorted through her thoughts. Maybe Aradia already put two and two together, she seemed to have already come to the conclusion it was a troll bite. Deep down Tavra hoped so, if only so that she could stop herself from thinking over this for too long and accidentally giving herself anxiety.

She looked down at her phone, which she had fallen asleep on the previous night and lay half under her butt. It would probably be best to let Aradia know anyways just to be sure.

Her text tone went off loudly, surprising her and causing her to jump violently off her phone. She heaved a sigh as her nerves settled and leaned over to take the cool plastic in her hand. She turned the screen on, hopeful it might be Aradia. Her eyes met a familiar line of gray caps-locked text asking 'where the fuck the poptarts' were.
