To those who have been keeping up with this story, please understand that I have been fixing it up greatly and have put it up on this site. But you will not see the changes in this file particularly. In fact, I have put up a new story that is the new version of SE. Please see my profile for FictionPress to understand what I mean.

I hope that Everyone enjoys what I have done for them and have created for I plan on sharing this more widely once I finish it. Once I have this book done and move on to book two, I will be sure to try this out with an editor. But in order to do so, I need the opinions of others who I know and trust will help me with this. For those who aren't of immediate contact with me, thus being those I trust to whack me upside the head for being lazy and not editting my work, I would still appreciate reviews and comments on the story. I wil keep this story up, but you will see more updates coming from the new version than this for I feel that I must shut this one down. But I will leave it up just in care someone wants to compare versions or such like that.
