The mental block I had with this post was ridiculous, but it is finally up. 

Some quick news going forward: I'm hoping to wrap up this chapter shortly, all being well. We have been stuck in this chapter for a long time, and I apologise for that. I also have been attempting to get a hold of Digizel for the last year, but have heard absolutely nothing. So, unless I hear from him before the chapter ends, Shieldwing is going to be removed from the clutch. He might return occasionally as an NPC, but he is not going to be a main character. It's unfortunate, because I had quite a few plans in place that involved him, but that's just how it is.
