I’m so grateful for all the comments and messages lately — it’s been incredible hearing that so many of you are enjoying the new direction. Now that I’m no longer bound by strict canon, there’s a freedom in letting the story breathe, in exploring corners we never dared step into before.
But even freedom has its shadows. As we move forward, Michael remains the same at his core — honorable, loyal, a man who still believes in light even when surrounded by storm. Others, though, are beginning to change. Choices made in comfort will start to carry weight, and one familiar face will find herself walking a darker path than she ever intended.
The next chapters test not whether Michael can fight, but whether he can stay true when every ally, every truth, begins to blur.
Keep the comments coming — they remind me that light is worth writing toward, even when the road ahead grows uncertain.
