I apologize for my prolonged silence, dear warriors. There has been no news on the publishing front, and thus I had no information to give to you. I will, of course, relay any messages from our Inkshares allies as I receive word.

Despite my silence, however, I assure you that I have not been remiss in my faoii duties. There are always battles to be fought, wrongs to be righted, and situations to improve. Work on Faoii Betrayer is going well, and my personal battles have been exciting and plentiful. Neo-Nazis have threatened my homestate with an armed, hate-filled march, and I have done what I can to remind them that such things will not be tolerated. When they march this weekend you can rest assured that I will be there, and they will hear my battle cry. I have sworn not to start anything at this protest, but I am faoii. I am prepared to finish whatever comes. Even if you cannot be there in person, my warriors, I hope you will add your voice to the Choir in any way you can. Faoii do not stand silently by in the face of such evil.

My battle with health issues has been less straight-forward. It’s been more than a year now, and there is still no clear victor in this ongoing war. While I have not been laid low permanently, I have also been unable to completely fight off the infections that have been slowly depleting my strength and morale. I admit that it is easier now that my campaign for The Last Faoii has ended, but it is still a long, drawn-out battle. Luckily, I finally (blessedly) go in for surgery next month. Perhaps this war will finally end and I’ll feel like a true faoii again. Wish me luck.

I hope your own battles in your own wars are going well. I hope you continue to seek out ways to improve the world and the lives of those within. I hope that your battle cries have been piercing in their beauty and unfaltering as you stand against whatever enemies have tried to break you in the last months. I hope you have continued to uphold your faoii titles. In whatever personal battles and demons you square up against, know that I am proud of you.

Watch for my missives in the future. I’ll keep you updated on this war and others.

Dismissed.
