Hello, it's been a long time my friends. I understand if many of you have moved on, this story was at one point everything to me. But, I came to the conclusion it could be better, and it needed improvement. The story required better characterizing and better writing for sure. So, I disappeared without a word. Into self-imposed exile to work on my writing, and after nearly three years, I have finally reached a point I can once again post here. Some of you might have seen I uploaded some chapters into my "Raise the Red Banners" story. That story is a short work that will come to an end soon when that does, I will start what my return to writing here. I will be scrapping my A Song of Ice and Fire series and rewriting the story.

I know, a lot of you put just as much into this story as me. The characters I tried to stay faithful to, and the characters I created for the story, these are all characters I care for just like you. So, I owe it to them to put them in a better story. A story I want to keep reading, and a story that deserves all the love you have given me and it. So with a bit of a heavy heart, this story will no longer be updated. This story has officially entered the rewriting process. If you all wish to try again, and I understand if you don't, I will post a prologue chapter of the story to come soon. I hope to once again catch your eye, and give you the story we both deserve. So without further adieu, until next time, my friends. I will see you on the far side of A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones.
