Author's Notes:

Just like Fall of Harmony, I have decided to share the planning sheet for this arc~

You will notice a lot of extra chapters that didn't make it, and some that got combined, there were even some added as you will see~

My writing style (if i even have one) is very... wingy. I write what I feel like, and only very loosly follow my structure I write out ahead of time~

This will also give a timeline for the story as well~

Hope you like this behind the scenes look~
