I'm so so sorry the lack of updates on all my stories. I haven't been having the best year so far; I've gone through a lot of loss these last couple of months and I'm still trying to come to terms with what happened. I lost my first dog in January, a few days after the new year started, and couldn't handle being without her. It broke my heart and tore my soul apart because I loved her so much and felt helpless in watching her suffering through her illness. The next loss was one I never expected and never wanted it to happen. I lost my dad in April and still haven't been able to come to terms with his passing; I never thought I would loss my dad so soon. Especially not when I had only seen him on his birthday a couple of months ago in 2017 and was beginning to reconnect with him after growing apart. The most recent loss had been my little hamster, he had only turn 2 yrs. old when he passed; I couldn't fathom why he had pass so soon, but then I remembered that hamsters don't live as long as dogs and humans do; he passed a few days after his birthday. I've been trying really hard to write these chapters, but found myself so grief driven that I had to take a break from it all for a while. I'm doing a bit better now, so please bare with me. I promise you that I will post some chapters.

The Will of the Phoenix may be the story that'll be receiving the most updates for now. Angel of Mine and Futatsu No Kodou will come a little later; I haven't given up working on these two so don't worry.

Thank you all for being so loyal and patient. Vanitas loves you all! See in future chapters of Angel of Mine, Futatsu No Kodou and The Will of the Phoenix. (Chapter 2 of Pokémon Ranger coming soon as well).

Peace, my fans. Vanitas out!
