They're still gone. This Asension doesn't matter anymore.

So what about the Barron?

I hold nothing against the Barron himself, only his creator. We'll have to go with plan B.

Oh, hey readers. Hey author, what is it you wanted to tell them?

Oh, right. I started writing a prequel to this about the first two times the readers came here called, "The Story on the Board: The First Runs". You wanna see more of Peter and Antagonist? There you go.

Moving on, Nathan, if we go through with this plan, I'm going to need to mess with the Barron's soul. At any cost, get me Silkress's knife.

Sure thing, I'm on it.

Oh, and guys, there's one more intermission that takes place in present day. Then, we go back to the Barron.
