Prelude Gratitudes

Appreciation and Thanks:


For the Prelude to Vortex of Souls, I’d like to give my appreciation and thanks to the following:


Katt, for being one of my biggest supporters, readers, and editors during the time I was working on this and Quadrant One. There are so many things about this story, in general, that wouldn’t happen without having you to bounce things off of. Your continued support and interest is a huge asset to me. 


Warren, we both know that you didn’t get to do as much as you would have liked to, with good reason. The truth of it is though, without you the RP and story wouldn’t exist. If you wouldn’t have been onboard with the plan to create our own new RP with our story after the Final Dungeon RP became so convoluted, this new story wouldn’t exist. We created the Last Arena RP together and you’ll always be a part of it. Blarging blarg honk blarg honking blarg.


Nick, for giving me the support to continue working on these characters and bringing the world to life more. Your input on the sections for Toshiro’s attitude and changes with him. You’ve given me the creative freedom to use your created character in new ways and give him a stronger back story. Without Toshiro, I don’t think this series would be as much fun as it is.


Devi, where do I even start with you. Without Kyra, a good portion of this series doesn’t even exist. She was a huge part of the original roleplay and an even larger part of the new story. I couldn’t create either of these worlds without your involvement as Kyra and your willingness to allow me to use her. As you requested, you have my eternal gratitude for letting Kyra take place in these stories.


To all my friends and family, thank you for the continued support as I wrote and edited these two stories. It took way longer than it should have but it’s finally done now. Two long years of saying;I can’t watch this because I’m writing and don’t want to be influenced.” It got annoying I’m sure, but now it’s done. Life can return to normal.

This is it for the Prelude to Vortex of Souls. Thank you all who have read any part of this story and a bigger thanks to those who have finished it. Thank you so much for your time. The next story is Vortex of Souls: The Gathering of Power, which takes place in Quadrant One. I hope to see you all there. - Bud Gaines
