// Announcement 2 
// Story: Returning Home II - Rise of the Eternal Empire 
// by Arceaion 
//------------------------------//

So I made a large blog post about this but I feel I should cover it here as well since people have been asking. Returning Home II Rise of the Eternal Empire is being worked on but there is a lot to do with it and frankly it needs a total overhaul do to the issues that are plaguing it. 

I also plan to redo the original story Returning Home since the problems with Returning Home II are left overs from Returning Home.

If I do redo Returning Home I will be not just updating the story but adding in several scenes I originally cut. Not sure if I've spoken on this publicly but when I was writing Returning Home I actually cut several scenes, which would have made the story much darker than it was. These cut scenes would have featured Rarity being killed, Spike leaving for the Dragon Lands and learning under Dragon Lord Torch, and a lot more.

I removed them originally because I felt they were too dark for the story but they have resulted in me having several problems that manifested themselves in Returning Home II as such I plan to do a rewrite of the original story which will follow the originally intended path to solve these problems. I will still keep the original version of Returning Home up so just know a second version will appear eventually and that will signal that new chapters for Returning Home II - Rise of the Eternal Empire are going to becoming out soon.

Thank you for your patience and for reading my work.
Sincerely,
Walter D. Arceaion
