[@NarayanK][@Write] Hi guys, it's me. I'm sure you've realized it by now given my inactivity but I've been with Heroes of Beacon so long that I thought you all deserved a proper farewell and an explanation.

The last, what has it been, three years? Working with you guys in that time has been a lot of fun. We've seen people come and people go. Most were talented and I enjoyed my time working with all of you. That said though the last three years outside of the Guild haven't been that great for me. Family drama, bouts of depression, inability to hold a job. One things after another. You guys don't really need the details. This last month I've been turning everything around, I took up the violin, starting running again, eating the way I should, reconnected with my siblings, I'm working full time saving to move to Vancouver in a few months. I'm getting back on my feet. That means though that I don't have the kind of free time that I used to and to be honest I had trouble keeping up with this RP when I did have days of nothing on my hands. I don't want what happened with [@Multi_Media_Man] in the Oswald/Sapphire/Demetra exchange to keep happening and despite my best efforts I rather suspect if I continued on here it would. So with regrets I must take my leave.

I have loved working with each and every one of you. No matter what happened between us this RP has been a great experience for me and it has helped me through a number of hard times. I've improved my writing craft here which I must thank you all for. Hopefully I'll see you around in other RPs but for the moment all I can handle is small groups.

Now to the logistics. Regarding Sapphire, as I've hated the way we've just sort of skirted around the disappearance of characters when their RPers leave I'd like to say definitively what happened to mine. The best solution to me is that during the family day Demetra had some kind of seizure related to her semblance and Sapphire as the big sister she is took time off school to help care for her. I hope one day I can come back to this RP and this explanation would let Sapphire be reintegrated into the story should that day ever come but if it does not this is to me an acceptable reason why Sapphire never returned to Beacon to finish her training. Her family has always been the most important thing to her after all.

If it is acceptable to you guys I'd like to write a final post, a Swansong I suppose. One where Sapphire says goodbye to Oswald and Gren on family day following Demetra's seizure. If not I understand.

I've loved being a part of Heroes of Beacon and I hope someday I'll be able to return to you all. Until then I wish you all the best of luck in all your future endeavours.
