Author's Note: Hi! Sorry I've been gone so long! Don't get excited, this isn't a chapter, just an update.

I am still alive and the next chapter has been started, but I've kind of lost interest in fanfiction, to be honest. I still love my storylines and such but I can't seem to get myself to finish a chapter anymore and I've been working like a fiend on my original stories instead.

Tears of the Sun is not dead, though! Fear not! I shall be back. Just…not soon. XD I don't know when, and I'm terribly sorry to just leave you all like this, but fanfiction really just isn't my thing anymore. If worst comes to worst, you'll be able to read the rest of the story once I massacre, remold, revamp and rewrite it into an original instead (i.e. No longer using other people's characters.).

By the way, please don't review this chapter 'cause if/when I do come back to start doing Tears of the Sun again, I plan to take down this note and, y'know, you can only review a chapter once. ;) So if you have something to say (I love hearing responses! Don't be shy! :3) you can PM me instead.

Again, I apologize to any of my readers, and I hope you can be patient. :)

P.S. (Haha, I'm such a dork. Who say P.S. anymore anyway? :P) There's a link in my profile to a new drawing of an entity, if any of y'all would like to see what one looks like. ;)
