I originally began this story back in the year 2000. It was kind of a project of mine where I decided to start writing something and try to keep writing it for as long as possible. I have a nasty habit of not being able to finish what I start, so this was just kind of a test for that.

I made a few quick rules. I would only write it in black or blue ink (preferably black), I wouldn't write on the back of the sheets of paper, and I'd only stop to make a chapter break at some kind of actual stopping point, rather than just ending a chapter to make it shorter. The result is that it's been three years after I first wrote this story, and it's nice and clean, and begging to be translated into a text file.

This is story (or stories) is basically a sequel to a story I'd written back in 1996-1997. However, a couple of the events in the past (but none of the names) where changed up to make a more believable story. The original story was full of plot holes and didn't really have a foundation that could be worked on. It also really didn't have any direction to go.

So, while this story is kind of a sequel, you don't really need to know the previous story in order to enjoy this one. Trust me. You might feel a bit lost as you begin to read this story, or feel like you should already know the main characters and don't... but trust me. Even if you had read the original story, you'd be just as lost. This one builds as it goes, and each time you think I leave something completely unanswered, it only stays unanswered for a chapter or two.

In the end, I hope you enjoy what I have. It's by no means done, but with a story such as this, I'm not really sure how to finish it anyway. Basically, don't be expecting a definitive ending just yet. It's not done.
