Is anyone out here yet, my dear readers?
Unfortunately, the reality caught me a little unprepared again and the gap between the last RW chapter and this new one just grew longer and longer, until finally I was able to write my precious fanfic again...
There´s also some news! To my great relief and satisfaction I have a new beta-reader! Atago-kun was so kind to agree he´ll be doing it for me. So, I do believe you will enjoy reading even more now, hopefully without any useless mistakes.
This chapter is not very action-like, but soon we´ll be moving on with the story very quickly... Be grateful for those ´calm´ parts now. :D
And you know it  - I love your comments. ^^´

I´m really grateful for every opinion or advice and always happy to know my readers.
Your comments are my best reward and kick me off to try harder and keep writing.
