Hey everyone! Holy moly, I am so sorry for the, well, years long absence from this site. I've been busy with a lot of IRL stuff, and to be honest, also had been really procrastinating with projects.

But, fear not! As you may have noticed with this particular chapter title, I'm working on a completely revised version of 'Journey of a Lifetime'. The reason for the revision? Well, I'm really glad you all enjoyed the antics going on with Zak getting used to his new body and situation. I truly appreciate your reviews from way back when!

But see, I found that this particular section of the story, which I'll call the Animal Shelter sequence; was taking me way too long to complete. I was still getting used to writing up bigger fan stories, looking back on the first couple of chapters I realized that I was adding a little too much to my proverbial plate.

So! I came up with a new plan to start anew and have the true beginning of the story take place after Zak has been released from the shelter and is officially out in the open wilderness. In fact, I have the first chapter already finished and uploaded on my DeviantArt! But I'm going to upload it here for you all to read through and enjoy. :)

In this new revision I'll finally be introducing Silverwing OC's I have created over the last few years, and will be integrating elements from both the show and the original book. To make the story more interesting and bordering onto the dark territory. So for those of you still watching this old story, keep an eye out for a whole new story upload! For now, this Animal Shelter sequence will be put on hold, and could possibly be revised as well and hopefully completed in the future. I will also be making some changes to Zak's character, so watch out for that as well.

Anyway, that's it! Again, I deeply apologize for the long hiatus with the story, but there will be a whole new story arriving as I finish the chapters!
