TO BE CONTINUED IN: THE TRIAL: JOURNEY'S END (Pending release following beta in the Discord)

That's it for the Synod. The world continues to change, a god has risen in every way, and the chaotic heart of the Black Paladin is finally on the road to peace with her world and with herself.

There aren't many stories left for me to finish for this AU (though there is talk of sponsoring the Advent story, we'll have to see how that goes. And of course when Volume 14 comes out, who knows what I'll do with that?

BUT... I really want to focus on my original work, and the surrounding creative projects like the artwork and more of the YouTube readings etc.

This was a kind of a heavy one to write if you want me to be 100% honest, I did my damnedest to get the representations of depression, PTSD, and the snapshots of the recovery process, as well as the importance of a strong support network, all correct.

ANY FAILURES HERE ARE MY OWN.

Living as I do, with someone who suffers from PTSD, writing this was cathartic and... I hope, helpful. Thank you for following me this far, and I hope to see you on the other side when I release the final arc of Neia's story in 'The Trial: Journey's End'.

A special round of thanks to my tireless beta readers, who put up with both my insane writing pace and my many... many typos, and without whom, this could not be.
