It all started with an idea. In June 2008 I began to write the first story of Quad, Divine Intervention. I never expected the tales would continue for five years, and that I would introduce so many characters including creatures from my childhood. It may be surprising to some that Iugulare and Anirapio were the same character in a story I wanted to write in my childhood - it was a male alien infection in the shape of a dragon, and he was simply called "The Infection". With the help of so many of you, I introduced Iugulare, Anirapio, Nekumbra, and Noctuis to the series.

I could not have written any of these stories if it wasn't for you. All of you. The interest in the series inspired me to keep writing, and all the help coming up with my characters was incredible.

The series has come a long way. And I will admit, I haven't been in the Forest as much as I used to be. I continued writing these stories never thinking they would end, though I did write the final Revelation stories to say "This is what ultimately happens in the end."

But I'm afraid that the saying is true, all good things must come to an end. I will admit I have slowly started to move on, doing other things with my free time, and looking into my future career. I know that once I start working, I probably will not have any time for this place. It does not mean I won't stop by and say hello, but as far as my writings...I don't know if I'll have the time to write any more stories.

Unless I decide to include any more short stories, Fall From Grace - The Beginning of the End will be the last story in the series that leads into the Revelation stories.

I wanted to make a chronological list of Quad's life, his journey through life, his struggles, and the battle against darkness and infection. In many ways, Quad is a representation of myself, or at least all I would ever hope to be - a healer, a guide, and a hero.

This collection of stories will also include Iugulare, Anirapio, Nekumbra, and Noctuis' introductions into the series, as all four of them are vital to the series. There will be many stories I left unfinished, as well as many inconsistencies between stories you may notice. These were unintentional as I had forgotten things in previous stories, and I'm sorry they happened. If I ever had the time, I would fix them, but I'm afraid they will remain exactly as they were written.


Thank you all for the support, inspiration, ideas, help, and encouragement for these stories.
