@SnowfakesElegance Thank you for enjoying the story. It means a lot. And thank you for noticing some details I missed myself. I wish I could have written more, but I ran out of ideas. It was pretty upsetting because I really enjoyed writing it. And as for the uploads, I hit major writer's block with this one, and it made it difficult to update often. But I'm glad I was able to finish. As for the detail on Gorlyan's heritage, I will go back to it when I edit it and see what I must have forgotten. There's so much I will have to check, but I truly appreciate your support. There will be two more books in the series I believe, and I want to at least write the next one almost fully before I post it so I don't keep readers waiting. I don't usually write sci fi, this was my first attempt at it, but it's been so much fun. Thanks for the votes and the message, have a wonderful rest of your week.
