Well, that's it I guess. If you managed to make it all the way here, congrats, and thanks for reading my story! I hope you enjoyed reading it even a quarter as much as I enjoyed writing it.

  This is my first attempt to write something longer than a short story. Were I to do it over again, there are many things I would have done differently, but it is finished, and I feel satisfied with it. I've had some thoughts about a sequel, and another story (a fanfic) that I think would be interesting to write. I wrote an outline for one of them, but haven't really gotten properly started on either. Well, if you're interested in seeing this story continue or maybe seeing something completely different, leave a comment and let me know.

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  My idea for the sequel was to follow one of the humans in their new colony, as he ventures into a vast dungeon that sprawls under the feet of their civilisation. It would be set a couple hundred years in the future, after Fire in the Desert.

  Finally I'd like to thank my friend LiterallyMe (no, not literally me, that's his handle) for help proofreading this story and for giving me the encouragement to see it through. Couldn't have done it without you bro.
