Hello everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. (Wow, this feels really awkward.) So, after taking a long, unplanned (and busy) break, I finally got back to this story. However, I was having trouble writing the next chapter, and decided to read over the first book to get back into the grove. Guess what I found out? It really needs revising, especially to fit in some new ideas. So, that's what I'm currently working on.
This rewrite shouldn't take too long, since I am not starting from scratch; I'm rewriting many of the earlier chapters to fit in with the writing style of the later ones, and because some of them are really in need of a rewrite. Later chapters will have some things added to build on the story, and all chapters will have more on the culture of the Yaunkur.
Speaking of the Yaunkur culture...
When I chose the names for the Yaunkur tribe members, I didn't keep in mind the fact that they are a part of a completely different culture than the rest of the Elemental Continent. So, I changed them.
Suki = Sura
Ichigo = Inwoe (it still means strawberry, just in Kae (which I completely made up))
Kinra = Kahina (I was going to keep Kinra, but I found this name and it fit too perfectly)
Diro = Dimos
Nicoma = Nila
Ichi = Roni
Chiho = Charo
Uffe = Uwais
Elder Jukune = Elder Jal
Matsumi = Meira
Rinne = Razi
I would recommend reading the first book again in the rewritten form (because some things are going to be different), but it isn't absolutely necessary. When I finish the rewrite I will write here what chapters I would say are necessary to read.
Oh, and after I finish this revision I will be starting book 2 (this one) again and just get right into the story, so look forward to that!
It seems as though stories are only shown as being updated when chapters are added or removed, and since I don't want to remove chapters of the first book (I'll just be updating/replacing them), whenever I post a new, revised chapter I will repost this note and add the name of the chapter in the list at the very bottom (the newest one being in italics). Hopefully that works.
Also, the revised chapters are posted now on AO3, Deviantart, and Wattpad too, under the same username and title.
