Hello folks, it's been... such a long time since you probably have heard from me, years in fact. Many of you if you even remember me probably will be surprised when you receive this message. This is something to close off a chapter of my life I guess you can say. So many things happened, so many things. I held off on talking and hoped one day I can get back and write this story, always hated leaving things unfinished but that is no longer the case.

So, the truth, I wasn't lying when I said I was in collage now, I began working on this story back when I was in high school with all the connotations that implies. I was young(er), I acted without thinking, nor did I have much experience with writing all things told. Looking at this story, it...shames me. The mistakes younger me took, the quickness of it all. What should have been a slower burn before kicking everything into higher gears just... burned forward with no regard to proper story telling. Familiar disasters have also been a key part, I have lost quite a bit of family, my uncle, my grandfather, cousins, distant relatives, all of them to various reasons. It... hurts, and even now it still hurts. Perhaps guilt also plays a role into this tragedy, I don't like failing people, and by withholding and not being able to write this story feels like I failed you all. And... that haunts me, when I close my eyes it taunts me, like a monument to my sins.

There is another reason. Fandom. I won't say I have given up on this place by any means, you can still see me lurking about here or there, but ... that wonder and awe I used to feel when visiting this site has slowly been tarnished over the years. And to be perfectly honest I have always moved from one fandom to another, I never could set down roots in any one place alone. To that end, I wandered and found a place I could really settle down, yes ironic where I just said I never could set down roots. March of War, a fandom I've been helping organize their old wiki, but things escalated from there. I was just organizing lore one day, took part in a RP the next, next thing you know I took a new guy under my wing, and we started putting our head together to write additions to the lore. A year later and its 2021, and it's been a whole year since I started organizing and writing, I got my hands on lost files for the game and then my mind got to work. A day of drinking (cola) and I whipped up a quest, from there things only bloomed further.

Currently I have a few large quests running at the same time with deep lore, a lot of work I have done, and quite a few people pleased at my writing. In truth, I picked up an old forgotten franchise and made it into my own, with how much I have been changing its pretty much my own story by this point. So, what does this mean for this story I hear you ask. In truth I don't know. I do not want to give up on this story, but I'm already stretching myself thin with my existing quests, and these quests actually burn deep within my heart. I love my quests, the lore I write, and world build, even made my own discord sever for them (still have yet to organize it though). Like I said before, I do not like leaving things unfinished, but I simply don't know what to do.

If there is any consolation prize and even saying just that makes me feel icky, I am working on a quest that will take us to various worlds and universes (and franchises) as explorers and pathfinders. And I am not one to let my old works die a forgotten death and will be throwing MLP into the mix one day. This is not and end nor the beginning but something else.

In the end kids, I'm sorry for the actions of younger me. Thats all the comfort I can realistically give. But do not despair, grieve, or get angry. For time is quite circular in its existence, and things tend to repeat. Tick tock kid, tick tock. Perhaps one day we will meet again? And on that day, I will make you all proud, you have my promise.

Farewell for now. - Damocles

Author's Note

If you have any questions, ask them. I do not guarantee that I will be able to answer them with all due haste, but I will try my best. If you are angry feel free to yell at me all you want, your outburst would be deserving all things told. I just hope you can forgive me, and perhaps I will see you all in a different site, in a different time.
