Trying not to steal Krytyk's thunder here ^^

But alas, a faster chapter update for Daybreak, as promised. There is a certain scene in this chapter that will certainly raise eyebrows. I'm still a little concerned over its appropriateness (it's justified in a logical matter, but may rub some the wrong way). I guess we shall see.

We are now pushing into the 2nd half of Volume 3 now, which means I need to be doing battle research again -- the battlefront has ballooned from vol2's a few thousand to over 100,000. But there is still one more chapter before things truly heat up, in which Kaede will meet someone she's been wanting to talk to for a long time.

On sad news, I re-established communications with the artist, Chuz, and discovered the cause of our disconnect: his family just underwent a real life crisis/tragedy. So of course, he is discontinuing, and my best wishes (since I'm not the praying sort) go with him.

At some point when I have time, I'll look into another artist again. In the meantime, I'm posting some of the drawings we've arrived at from discussions, since I do love the work and wished it had time to finish.
