Andy stands at the front of The Great Hall. As the camera pans round, we see the entire cast of The Western Sky gathered, along with various people who appeared in The Silent Trio.

Andy : I am afraid that the time has come. We have to depart this realm for another.

(There is general uproar and surprise)

Albus : But... why?

Andy : The Agents of The Senior Partners have found us, and already they have worked their magic on our lives (He stares around) Can't you feel it?

Luna : Now you come to mention it - something does seem to have changed.

Andy : (Nodding) It's the memory of your past (He glances around) Of all our pasts. They are blurring, merging - they are becoming harder to understand.

Harry : Yes! That's it! I can remember what's happened, but the scenes of my life all appear to be running together, until they become incomprehensible (The others all nod in agreement) Can we stop it?

Andy : No - we can't. Only The Powers That Be can reverse it, and at the moment - for reasons known only to themselves - they refuse to act. Refuse to even acknowledge that the problem exists. And, worse still - the spells that affect our past might start to affect our present, even our future.

(There is a pause as people consider this)

Paul : So - we're moving on?

Andy : Yes. We are departing this realm as soon as we can. When we move to another, our pasts will be safe. At least for the time being.

Amelia : Will we ever return?

Andy : If The Powers can defeat The Senior Partners, and our pasts can be restored, then maybe we can return some day. But the influence of the spells run deep, and even if they secure our pasts that it will stay that way. That The Senior Partners won't stretch forth their hands again.

Paul : But no one here will get to hear our Match Commentary (glances at Hermione) What's the name of the seeker?

Hermione : (smirks) Yes.

Paul : What?

Hermione : Yes.

Minerva : Knock that off!

Paul/Hermione : Sorry.

Tara : (smirking) They won't find out the results of our investigation.

Sally : Or find out what happened to Harry and the kids.

Harry : And what about our up coming motion picture?

Andy : I realise we all have plot arcs on-going, some more important than others, but if we stay here we risk losing everything and being forced to bow to the will of The Senior Partners. And I don't think any of you want that.

(Everyone shakes their head)

Oz : So - where are we going? I mean - we are going somewhere? We aren't just going to vanish?

Andy : (Laughing) No - we aren't just going to vanish. But the spell prevents me from saying it here.

Ginny : So we're just supposed to wander around in no-mans' land?

Hermione : (under her breath) Little more than you deserve.

Andy : No - you can find our other home listed in the journal of the angel at the spot for blogs (everyone stares at him as if he is mad) Oh for gods' sake - you can find it at angelholme on blogspot.

(Everyone nods)

Albus : Well - I will miss this place. All the people who have heard our stories, and given their views.

Andy : I know, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. We can't stay here when our stories are at the mercy of mad men, and, once we are gone, our stories will fade and vanish, so that only the proper versions may be found (looks around) Okay. That's all. You can go back to your normal lives.

If you haven't figured out the meaning of this little play, I am quitting this site. While I have no problem with the idea of the admin staff banning the use of dashes to indicate scene breaks, I have a HUGE problem with the fact that the March 22nd upgrade reformatted (and ruined) every chapter that already contains them. 49 of my chapters are now unreadable, and - since I did not cause the problem, I see no reason why I should try to fix it.

I am also not willing to leave the unformatted stories on this site, because they are not what I originally wrote, and will not have them read in the current format. As a result, all of The Silent Trio stories will go, as will Peace Of Mind, His Dark Father and The Smartest Witch. 19 Years Later and The Western Sky will be abandoned on this site and the upcoming Lost In Hyrule will not be posted at all.

I am sorry it has come to this, but unless and until the site admins get their heads out of their asses and put the stories back the way they were, I will have nothing more to do with this site.

Thank you to everyone who has left a review, and if you do wish to keep reading, you should be able to find the stories on the other site. via the link in my profile.
