You guys must be surprised to see me back here, huh? The truth is, I have no idea why it took me so long to update. But now that I'm doing it, I feel like I should explain the time gap.

When I started this story, I didn't exactly have a clear goal in mind. I just wanted to write Lelouch learning magic from Doctor Strange. I've wanted to see whatever since the Doctor Strange movie came out in 2016. And after the Lelouch of the Resurrection movie came out in 2019, I was suddenly inspired to do it.

So I did. And apparently, you guys liked it. And I was happy.

The problem was, as I mentioned, that I didn't really have an endgame in mind. I was kinda just making it up as I went along. Then came the burnout, when I no longer knew how to continue.

I feel that you guys were owed an explanation. And an announcement.

I intend to get back to this. I want to see it finished. I'm trying, trying, to get back to work on it now. I don't know when it will come out, but I will try before September.

I do have something written, so here's that:

"He said it's here" was the first thing Lelouch said upon exiting the portal. He was now standing in front of what seemed to be a temple. A temple that seemed fit for royalty.

His cloak rustled.

"Yes, I think they could have done with some subtlety as well."

Within an abandoned temple, Kaecilius and his disciples dropped the body upon the large marking on the floor.

"Let your will be done," Kaecilius muttered as he and his Zealots began their chant. One of them opened a portal to the Dark Dimension itself.

"The body is prepared, my lord. Allow your dark energies to overtake it."

Dark tendrils shot out from the open portal. They were aimed at the stolen and empty body.

Let me know what you guys think in the reviews, and I will see you all next time.

Bye!
