Chapter 566 - The Letter

AN: There's an author's note at the bottom, AFTER the stat sheet.
Note this isn't counting as a full chapter. Narratively, I wanted it as a stand-alone for the impact.

=====================================

Nearly 75 years after the events at the Phoenix Peaks

“Emergency letter for Sentinel Dawn from Sentinel Arachne.”

I was on vacation.

Fuck.

=========

AN: I was really happy with the 'poetry' of the chapter being unlucky 13 words long, at the end of book 13.

Also, the 'unexpected' time of release is supposed to vibe a little with the unexpected nature of the letter.

Also, yes, 13 was short, and we're about to ramp up hard from here! See you all in two weeks!
