HI GUYS I'M SO SORRY FOR ANYONE WHO GOT EXCITED FOR A SECOND THINKING THIS WAS AN UPDATE JUST SOME STUFF I NEEDED TO SAY AND I WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A NOTICE INSTEAD OF NOT SAYING ANYTHING FOR LIKE, Y'KNOW, MONTHS LIKE I ALWAYS DID.

Firstly, lo siento mucho for not having an update at hand ready for you guys already. I know I said I'd take awhile with it but there's just been a lot going on and yeesh. I mentioned this on my tumblr too but I wanted to put this here for anyone who doesn't go on that platform just to give you guys an update for where things are at.

An update for Enigma is going to for sure be my primary focus after I update a few other stories like Stars and Boba just because the flow for them is coming a lot faster and naturally to me so I want to write them out now. Enigma's sitting on my shoulder kinda just waiting because I've been a bit hesitant to go through and re-read the entire alma torran arc in depth and next update I'll have an a/n talking about some ideas I have/moving forward because rn we're covering the alma torran arc and after that hell breaks loose and it's all fast paced non-stop man, what happened to the laughs from there

I've just been thinking about Enigma a lot lately and how I want to proceed with it. SNB has finally come to an end and I need to catch up on that and really get the details in because, wow, some stuff I didn't expect happened and it needs to be incorporated

which means edits

I feel like Kali's personality at some points of the story doesn't really bode well with me considering the sheer magnitude of what's happened in the past/going on rn and I think it's just because I've been a bit out of touch with the story, I need to give it a proper re-read in its entirety to take in what I've put and all the stuff I might've hinted and forgot. I want to edit these moments and make sure it's coherent and satisfying because Enigma is my child and I love it and Kali and everyone to death. Writing Kali is honestly one of my favorites to do, so when I look back and feel so sloppy and out of touch with her I hate it and I want to give you guys the good stuff like you deserved, not rushed crap that feels loose and choppy and just disconnected. There's also moments I feel like I embedded in and never talked about (like giving Kali such an averse theme to chains, which can be understandable but I haven't even properly touched on that backstory I feel like in depth so I want to address things like that)

I've also just always had such heavily mixed feelings after the ending of Magi and how…abrupt the whole thing was. The ending was weird filled with a ton of holes and bit unsatisfying and clearly just…rushed in my opinion so I want to take the time to see Enigma through to it's end properly. I've been thinking about how I wanted the ending to go, how much to follow canon wise and I think I might've come to a solution that makes me happy. We might be getting some canon divergence towards the end to mold an ending I feel might be better fit then everyone suddenly praising the coming of the end, but we'll see how it goes from here. Especially looking at what we have right now, I'm pretty sure we've only got about… 20ish chapters left depending on the length (WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT SOUND CRAZY) but with the lengths I'm planning on making chapters and the fact that 2-3 of those will be dedicated to the Sindria's past!arc, it's crazy thinking of this huge thing ending but uwu

tl;dr an update will be coming sometime in the next few weeks after I get my shit together, watch the fourth opening a bunch of times, reread the manga and catch up to snb, look at some magi fanart and get pumped up so hang tight!

thank you all again so much for your patience, I'll be working hard to bring you the goods so stay strong and healthy and thank you for the massive support and love for this story!
