I feel ... rlly bad for leaving you guys on a cliff hanger, tbh. but I wanted to clarify despite the fact that it's been over a year since I've updated this story.

So if it's not obvious yet - I've moved accounts, to crowkiiing and even so, I'm not too active on my other account.I check in from time to time. I've been watching Beyblade in French so I was reminded to write this,, But uhhh, my point was: this story

so firstly, from those who have read through Lion's Pride and up to here ... I really can't say enough thank yous. At the time, I was depressed, stuck, resentful, with no outlets, and for my work to be acknowledged and you guys commenting and reading?

It made my absolute day. Every single one of you, you have NO idea, it actually made me cry a few times although I'm sure each of you have your few nit - picks with the story (looking over it, I have dozens but it's completely fine! Stuff like that is okay!).

But at this point in time, I'm not sure if Tess' story will continue. If I have to be honest, Tess was ... I'm not sure how to say it, but at first she was a projection of myself. Over time she grew, and I can say now that she's WAY different to me, but she first started out as me. If that makes sense?

Writing her is honestly ... a reminder of that. So if I do eventually rewrite Tess' story (which I might, who knows. Probably not tho), she'd pretty much have the same spunk & humor, but not much else if that makes sense?

But my point is, for right now? her story is on a hold. I'm really sorry to say this for all of those who have been waiting.waiting patiently and I'm so sorry for that but thank you for your support.

I hope you have a good day / night guys ! I'm really sorry to put these news upon all of you <3
