I begun writing this over three years ago and haven't looked at it in over 8 months. Suffice to say, the plot is disjointed and confusing, and there are so many plot holes that there are more holes than there is actual plot at this point. However, I won't be taking this down because at some point in the future I may return to it and edit and rewrite. So, read on at your own peril. There will be many errors ahead. Thank you.
