Ayee! (Typo warning, was too lazy to read it through lol)
So, I know this story was a bit shorter than my other ones, but it was supposed to be like that in the first place.
Needless to say, I really enjoyed writing Au revoir, and I want to thank everyone for your incredible support with this story, once again.

I've had an idea like this for very long, I got it way back when I was writing Redamancy's first chapters. So after I was done with that, I made this happen, and I'm happy with the result.

*Fun fact, I originally planned to draw pictures of the story to the chapters, but that idea never came to life, due to the reason of how many hours I would've had to put into making them, however I do have a couple un-used sketches, one being the original cover art for Au revoir(the one up there), I never liked the cover art I have right now very much, since Zelda looks a bit too serious, if you've read the story entirely, you'll know that her personality was everything but serious. She's often pictured being sad, sometimes very happy, mad sometimes, caring, loving. Etc.*

The research I did for this story took me too much time lol. If you ever happen to google about world war two, you'll see how for example it was really the exact same day I writed the war started. And how the streets where Zelda and Midna live are real-life streets located in Paris, the presidents Zelda mentions are the ones at the time of the war, Germany had reached Paris in that same day in May. Etc. It was quite fun though, I learned and remembered alot of things I had forgotten since school.

I also studied French and German for the story, I also had couple of friends whom are from Germany and France who helped me find the right words when needed to. If you're German or French, I know the language I used is NOT perfect. Neither is my English.

So, even for a short story like this, I had to do work for.
