Chapter Text
Hello and thank you for reading! It means so much to me. This story has been a dream of mine for a while now. I've been working on creating and revising so much since the beginning of the creation of this whole world.
I would like to thank some friends of mine who not only inspired me but also helped in the creative process. Rudaruo and Josh are both creators of some characters and really helped me sort out some of my crazy ideas and aspirations. I will never be able to express how grateful I am to them.
This is my first completely original work. I am hoping for this to be both a book and a manga so that everyone can read it as they wish. That being said I will be publishing the book faster, as well as using it as a sort of frame for how the manga will be.
Unfortunately as of now I do not have a schedule for how often I will be able to update. I will as much as I can and I apologize for huge gaps in updates. In the event that that is the case, I would suggest reading the chapter past before reading onto the new one, especially if the chapter cuts into a scene that is meant to push the story forward. For more filler-like chapters, this probably won't be necessary. Please note that this will be a series and at some point I will have to end this book in order to move onto another one. I will try and post at least an author's note for the new one so that if you're interested in continuing the journey with me than you can add it as soon as you can. I'll post an ending note at the end of each installment so that you know which are complete and when to move on to help with any confusion which might be a product of the story being broken into separate volumes.
There are a few romantic relationships, however they aren't meant to be the main part of the story. That being said, I will say that this book does contain multiple LGBTQ+ relationships, I tried to have as much representation while still following the how I believe each of the characters would choose their partners, including gender and also how well they fit together as a couple/group. There are also other genders, mostly demi boy/girl, as well as multiple pronouns for several characters. For gramatical ease I will be using only one for each character, but if you are interested in knowing I would love to share. Now, I absolutely do not want to hear anything about how 'it's not okay', 'that character shouldn't be with this character because', 'there's only two genders', 'why didn't you just make them straight', 'those pronouns don't exist' or anything along those lines. You have the ability to simply not read this. Any comment that has homo/trans/lgbtphobia will be deleted. I don't want to deal with political agendas. I have the freedom and ability to create what I want, and I will exercise it.
Please read the content warnings below. If you choose to read this despite the warnings, do not blame me for anything that triggers or affects you in any way. That being said, please enjoy.
I'm always happy to listen to ideas and constructive criticism, so if you would like to share anything with me please feel free to! I love reading what you have to say and will do my best to take any advice given to me.
