Notes from the Author

Hello everyone,

Thank you for reading and joining me for the ending of the third part of this story. 75% of the way through and only one more part to go. It's been a lot of fun writing this and with a single part left to go I am excited to bring it to a close. A lot of it is rough I know, and for that I apologize, but thank you for reading anyway. This part of the story was especially important as it sets the stage for the finale and places all the pieces on the board. With that being said it breaks my heart to once more say goodbye to a character I love. A character that has helped shape Varen into the man he is now and whose death inspired the title of this part paving the way for a confrontation of vengeance.

I don't know how many people have read all three parts to this point, but I very much hope it has not felt like a waste. Not every story can cater or appeal to everyone so it's important to me that those who it does cater to find some form of enjoyment. I can only hope that by the end there will be a sense of satisfaction and closure. Until that time, thank you again for reading and I hope to see you all again in the fourth and final part of the story.
