Book II: The Life of Simon and Life Beyond the Wall

[Captain Tammo]

Thanks so much for the review! I'm really happy to see that you're enjoying everything so far. Even though Part III will be the last installment, I strongly feel that everyone will be satisfied with how the whole thing closes

I was also wondering if you always planned to have the hooded ones turn out to be what they were (i wont give specifics so i wont spoil anything  )

[Captain Tammo]

I knew what I wanted the hooded ones to be like when I first created Xoer's story, but I didn't know how I'd reveal them for a long time. Initially, before I thought of doing a part II and III, the crew of the Nol and Runty were going to journey to the land of the Hooded Ones and then pursue Deamal. But I felt like the timing wasn't right so I just put it aside for a while.

I was also going to have the nightcrawlers play a bigger role. I was going to have Xoer and Nol encounter them on their way to Baala during the night. But I ultimately abandoned the idea and kept their vague description in the story as a means of building some tension. Who knows, maybe I'll go back and write a small side-story about it in the future...

Hey guys! So I was a little bored the other day and noticed that it's been a while since I've posted anything in this fanfic, so I decided to make some artwork for one of my favorite scenes in the story! I actually used a note-taking app on my iPad to make this and ended up deciding that black and white best suited the picture (my color pallet was not very diverse, so it looks nicer this way ).

Anyway, before you look at this picture, know that it contains a VERY BIG SPOILER for who The Hooded Ones are. Having said that, I hope you like it

Do excuse the double post but this is kind of important.

Guys, I messed up. Like ooooh wow did I mess up (word of advice to fanfic authors: don't upload your chapters late at night)!

I was reading through the fanfic, as I do every once in a while to do some grammar corrections, and I realized that I had completely skipped chapter 19. As in it was not even on this thread.

*facepalm*

I'd like to apologize for my failure to notice this for an entire year while you guys have been reading. Thankfully, since many people don't usually read through an entire fanfic in one go, it doesn't look like many people noticed. Regardless of whether or not you noticed it, I should have spotted this mistake a long, long time ago, especially considering it plays a very critical role in the story's development.

Well at least I've caught it now!..... 2,000+ views later...

*harder facepalm*
