Anyway, I will begin this by saying that chapter 96 (the final part of the Epilogue) will be late-no later than Monday evening.

I wasn't happy with how 95 came out at all. I was tired when writing it, my mind had already moved on planning No Joy in Command in detail, and the burnout of churning double-sized chapters nearly every week finally caught up, along with all the stress and things I had to deal with irl. Now, that's still an excuse in the end, and I feel like I owe at least an explanation, so I'd rather keep things succinct.

I finally managed to take a week off and rest(or as much rest as I could squeeze in between irl duties and other obligations I undertook). And the more days passed during the holidays, the unhappier I was-95 was sloppy, and in the way that didn't give the previous hundreds of thousands of words, love and effort I put into Shrouded Destiny justice. So, naturally, I already edited the whole thing and added another PoV that is 7k words.

And thus the reason for the delay for 96 and the final part of the Epilogue. It's just now I will begin to writing the meat of it. As eager as I was to post the newly edited version of 95, I'd rather not rush and have my editors and beta-readers take a close and critical look and nitpick all they can while at it. You can take the extra portraits as my apology for the delay.

Tl;dr. I will release everything together, edited when I'm done (Sometime tomorrow). And yes, that includes the vastly expanded 14,5k word version of chapter 95.

Cheers and happy holidays,
