Hello readers! I just wanted to let you all know that I'm discontinuing this story. there are a lot of elements to it that I'd like to change, if I ever continue it, but I can give you a very basic summary of what I was going to write into the story.
Alex and James go on a date, but their night gets interupted because The Dealer is causing problems. the group decides to stop procrastinating action, and find a solution to their Shadow Dweller issue. There is a Animus Holder ritual that can remove body stealing Shadow dwellers, but it can be very dangerous for the victim. James finds out that the last Time Animus holder found a way to make the process less dangerous- by freezing time on the person and Shadow Dweller. Then, the Shadow Dweller can be sent back to its own realm. They do this, and Ayro nearly dies. The Dealer is vanquished, and the story ends there. I know it doesn't seem like much, but this would most likely be 10 chapters, or more.
There are a lot of major details I want to change about the story and the characters. I didn't make the Dealer as much of a threat as I wanted him to be, and I gave the characters a quality that I regret. So, I won't be adding new chapters to this story for a while, and I will be heavily editing it. It will be very different than it is at the moment. This change will take a while, though, and for that, you have my apologies. Once I have finished changing this story, I will give you all an update, so you may read the final version of the story.
