First off, I am so sorry for the radio silence and the painfully slow update. Life got incredible busy lately, and it took me longer than expected to get this chapter exactly where it needed to be.
Your comments, votes, and patience mean the world to me. Thank you for not giving up on this story. I'm back in the groove now and can't wait to hear what you think of this next chapter! Your power stone and comments are my motivations. Thank you all
