Hello there, everyone! This is just a special chapter I set apart to say a few things.

First, I must say some thank yous over and over to many people.

Thank you to my mom who helped me when I was stuck on a chapter, comforted me when I was too emotional during a chapter, and gave me so many ideas. Then above all, thank you, Mom, for giving me your time. I couldn't have asked for more.

Thank you to my special brother next, you are truly such a sweet boy. Thank you for encouraging me and wanting me to read the stories to you all the time, you made writing it so much more worth it. Thank you so much!

Next, thank you to my wonderful cousins, Evara and Aris ( they aren't their real names, but that's what I call them on here for confidentiality)! You guys are such an encouragement to me and I truly appreciate all the ideas you gave me, the shoulders you gave me to cry on (haha, literally and figuratively), and for the enthusiastic comments on this story! You guys are amazing:)

Thank you to a special friend, GadSul! You are another reason I didn't give up on this story:) Thank you for all the comments, and encouragement! It means so much to me and I can't even express it enough.

Thank you to the rest of my friends for your encouragement as well! I couldn't have done it without all of you being totally understanding and awesome even when you had no idea what was going on..lol.

And finally, I want to give a humongous thank you to YOU! Yes, you. You read this and that is why I write. I right to share things I enjoy with others and when someone reads something I had written it truly makes my day:) And at this moment, this story as twenty-eight THOUSAND views and almost one thousand five hundred votes! I just can't... But seriously, you are the one who did that, and I am so grateful for you and every single reader of mine. Thank you again and again.

Guys, this has been such a journey for me that I cannot express it enough in words! I have loved this journey I have been on with you, and I am sad to see it end. But let us remember,

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

-J.R.R. Tolkien

Let us not give up hope and always keep this in our hearts:

Even the smallest person can change the course of history.

-Galadriel (J.R.R. Tolkien)

Thank you for the wonderful journey, my beloved readers. We shall meet again.
