Eranoth here, h.e.l.lo mortals filled with the element of awesomeness and wonderful pract.i.tioners of the Dao of Patience!

First, I will apologize to those who love daily updates, unlike some authors I am not a robot. Nor is my story flushed out in any way. While writing volume 1 I know I was able to eventually get an average of about 5 chapters a week, I suspect at least in the near future, that is a pipe dream.

Second, in lieu of keeping my story's quality from falling down the drain, I have been spending most of the last two weeks researching things and I am far from done.

Third, As an author posting my first draft of the story (literally write-post) I hope you will all forgive that the first draft of volume 2 that is being posted will have inconsistencies from the currently posted volume 1.

As you know, from my previous dialogs Volume 1 is being heavily edited right now. I am writing Volume 2 following the changes in volume 1 so I don't end up writing two different stories by the time we are done.

I will do my best to add things to this version to transition smoothly but I may not get them all.

One of the biggest changes is the characters now have full names and not just first names.

To avoid confusion regarding Jericho's names:

Jericho the Bard = in-game name

Jericho Maestro= Artist Name

Jericho ??? = Real name (you'll find out soon enough.)

As can be seen, the time I am dedicating to this work is currently being divided between the three aspects. The start of volume 2 may take me longer to post. My hope is to get into that same inspiration zone I had after chapter 16 of volume 1 and be able to write freely.

Lastly but most importantly, Thank you! Your support and patience while I have been wracking my brain around volume 2 has been greatly appreciated.

P.p.p.S. Unrelated but I want to say it anyways.

There are a couple of unknown authors whose work I have come to enjoy greatly (No I don't know them personally but I like their work). So, if you are looking for another slow update book with less than 25 chapters to add to your reading list to enjoy, Look up:
