Hello again everyone, long time no see, eh? I'd include this in the actual Chapter 1, but it'd contain spoilers for the rest of the story.

Well, hopefully, this'll help quell any beginnings of a mob that was going to form, though I know y'guys'd prefer if this was Chapter 9...and god, that's a horrible contraction when you put it down on "paper". Don't worry, Chapter 9 is in the works, at 3409 words now. I've been kinda slacking off on this story, partly because of events surrounding my birthday and Easter, which happened to fall on the same day this year. Happy 16th birthday to me, I guess. Though really, I've just plain old not felt like writing before today. Hopefully y'guys can forgive me.

And, now for some fanart, this time by To-nio. He sent me the original of the first pic three weeks ago, and I intended to put it in this as I'm doing now, but I didn't know it'd take me so long to get all this done. Maybe it's all for the better, though, as it looks like he made a background and a second pic in the meantime. Amazing job, man! You get my seal of approval. Anyways, here's some of the most memorable parts of Chapter 7:

Also, Peanut, the guy doing the audiobook for Triple X has on a whim done a reading of that absurd poem I made in the last blog post. Good show!

So yeah, that's all from me. Expect Chapter 9 to be out...uh, I'll say in about 10 days, though that's just an estimated guess. See ya guys till then.
