Changeling

Important, please read.

I would normally write this in the post chapter's author notes but few people read those, and never those binging so I need to post it as a chapter. So here is the thing.

I fucked up a little bit.

The previous chapter marks the ending of the story as I first envisioned it. When in a dystopian situation, true victory can never come from the death of an antagonist, but from a societal change and that's what Nestra achieved after a lot of work, blood, sweat, and talking to people she didn't like. Of course, the aftermath must still be addressed and so I addressed it, and as a result there is plenty of story left. But that's the problem. I wrote too much story after my planned end of the story. And then epilogues as well.

Changeling is being rewritten to improve it with the help of a proper publishing house. The end will require a lot of work to rearrange the events in a way that brings satisfaction and, more importantly, finality. In the meantime I fear I must leave you with my first imperfect draft drawn straight from my heart and humble writing skills. So yeah, this is an apology. I apologize, but please consider the story from now on as wrapping up. Perhaps one day we will explore the many worlds and reach the might of Agathon, but then it will be another story about other cities. Not the misadventures of Nestra and Threshold.

As a final gesture of my contrition, please accept this nice pin-up Nestra courtesy of Akakiy THIS IS NOT PROPAGANDA I SWEAR
