Ben and PrimalApex, I’ll probably take a break for a few weeks to come up with a new idea for a story. I’m currently brainstorming and it hurts my brain(Seriously, I have a headache). I want to do a survivor story but at the same time….idk. I mean, I could do a survivor story of BEFORE the ROTP series, like about James’ great great great grandfather! 🤔. hmm…I may continue writing in the same universe or not. I have ZERO idea. If y’all have any ideas, y’all are welcome to throw them out there, tho. I’ll try to come up with new ideas while I’m on my break. Cya later!

Sunnyfox, Wow!!! Wow, I think that was one of the saddest yet bittersweet endings to a story I’ve read in a long time!!! So Marvelo was Arianna’s Father!!! I’ve been wondering that since the end of TDP when Emma brings up her name!!! Wait a second…
*goes back and reads a couple chapters of TTOTSP
how did I miss that!!! How did I miss that Arianna’s father’s name was Marvelo, the same name as Tom’s right hand man. Argh!!!🤦♂️(anyways). James’ death was really sad!!! And his last words were so sad!!!!😭 Cyrus died!!!!! I wasn’t expecting that he’d die too!!!! But that ending was very heartwarming and bittersweet!!! Epilogue was really good too!!! So Jack and Cyra decided to live in the Dark Phoenix Kingdom instead!!! Very sweet!!! It reminds me a lot of the end of the movie Mockingjay too!!! Guess that would be the perfect epilogue to a story with “The Hanging Tree” song as a main part of the story!!! It’s been a great story series you wrote and I loved it!!! Five books in five months. Gosh, you basically made an Ark version of the Skywalker Saga in less than half a year!!!! Congratulations on finishing it!!!! I know Ben asked you this, but what do you think you’re going to do now? Are you going to continue writing? Are you gonna write about the same universe or are you gonna write something else? I definitely think you deserve a break after the accomplishment you did!!!!! You did awesome Sunnyfox!!!! Well done and God Bless You Sunnyfox!!!!

Angel if you feel quitting is right then go for it. Although if you want to find joy in writing again, write what you think is fun! You dont have to take it seriously in the beginning, nor do you have to be super ambitious at first. You can always start with short stories with only a chapter or two and do what you think is best for you. Thats just my tip tho
From Ben
Wow so many chapters have come out!
PrimalApex, Chapter 11 was really good! Poor Andrew who has no company except Reuben and the mysterious herbivore who we don’t know what species is yet. This was a very realistic take on the apocalypse genre, since most people go kinda crazy without human interaction for a while. What’s worse, being stuck on the ARKs, or being stuck down on the Earth with no one but yourself? Honestly I’d say the latter. At least the former there’s a chance at human interaction and making friends and allies. It’s something to keep yourself distracted from, even if death is apparent. Maybe that’s just a grim way of thinking.
Sylveevee, Chapter 18 was also really amazing! This fight between the Dragon and all the groups is really awesome! I’m glad Carnilius has decided to put the difference aside and work with the other to take down the Dragon boss. I wonder where it came from anyway, and where Milo and Pat found it. So I guess those two turned their backs on the rebel raiders now! Well I can’t wait for what happens next. Fox is also a really cool character, I can’t wait to see what his/her power is (i forgot if Fox is a boy or a girl). Chapter 19 was also awesome. I really liked the crazy beam coming out of Moonhigh and Sunhigh, that was great. So the Dragon has been defeated, but the final boss is the Overseer? I would have thought it was Rockwell, since we saw one of his tentacles once. Well, I liked it. I hope Skyocean gets some more screen time in the future though, since we haven’t seen much of him yet.
Also you are almost about to graduate to middle school, very impressive. I am sure you will get all A’s and B’s in your middle school, you can do it! And yes, I think The Phantom Legends sounds like a good name. But you choose a name that sounds the most fitting. What will it be about? Anyway, I’m also glad writing has helped you overcome some of your irl issues. I’m glad we are all friends here. Well enjoy the summer is to come, middle school will be a big change, and all of us give you our blessings to stay fortunate and strong to fight through the next school year!
Wyvernian, TOT Chapter 23 was very awesome! That encounter with the feral Rock Drakes was really cool and the engravings on the wall of all of their stories was awesome as well! It was really nice reading this chapter. I also really liked Chapter 53 of PoP. The Ferox Temple sounds like such a cool idea, it’s like a rehabilitation center. I like it just as much as the crazy barbarian Amargasaurus, I love some of the way the species in Pandora Chronicles are portrayed. I wonder who Frozt was talking about by the “boss”. Hopefully they make it out safe and sound.
Sunny, I can’t believe this is the end of the series already! Tom’s been turned back to the good side, but we lost a lot of people on the way. Seeing James die a second time was very heartbreaking, but it’d be selfish to keep him alive. After all, he was afraid to come back. I can’t believe Cyrus died too. Poor guy, he tried his hardest. Jack couldn’t even remember his name in time. But it was a really heartwarming ending, I really liked it. Five months in the making… goodness that’s fast. That’s a month per story. So, reflecting on the completion of the story, how do you feel? And what do you think you’re going to do next? Take a break? Keep working on a story set in the same universe but not really going to be a sequel or prequel? Write something else?
Well this was a lot. I’ll see you all around! Have a great day/night everyone!
