I didn't delete the story, I just unpublished the chapter because I felt like it need another renewal and I thought of publishing it on the third year anniversary of me starting my Kung Fu Panda Fanfic. But the first chapter is good to go to be published, but I like to get the second chapter done as well. So I can publish at the same time and you can read the two part of Tai Lung's return to the living world and his rediscovery of it.

I emerge from cyrosleep to announce I’ve just published Chapter 13 of HALO: Evocatus! Come see what new cosmic threats and internal dilemmas torment our cast of split-jawed space lizards!
          
          In all seriousness, thank you so much to all of my readers, I couldn’t do this without you. This is yet another trimmed-down formerly-extremely-long chapter, because I just cannot help myself when I get into that ultra rare flow state. 
          
          This new part is a combination of gory hyper-violence (content warning), some of the best introspection I’ve written so far, and a hopefully-shocking twist that you’ll know when you see it. As always, feedback is hugely appreciated!
          
          It honestly feels so good to release another chapter lmao. Despite how long it’s been, I still plan to make good on my promise to see Evocatus through to completion. If you don’t stick around for however long that takes, I don’t blame you, but if you do, I swear that the eventual conclusion will be worth it.
          
          Thanks again, take care of yourselves, and have an amazing rest of your day,

Hey there, I was wondering if you are still there and when you're gonna come back and give us more Kusan's story as he's about to go up against the hardest challenge in his life... the Flood. And how will he and his lover, along with his sharpeye Jackal friend, Jazz come out of it. Also, where's Captain Revalee and the Elite Tobak? Did they survive the crash or not? And will they come assist Kusan in this horrifying, and daring fight?

Hey, I was wondering if you have or know any friends that can draw? Whether it is on here or IRL. Also, I was wondering if you can give me a good title for the renewed second chapter? The name of it is now called The Hidden Traveler.

I saw that you voted for the first republished chapter of this renewed story. I am curious of what you think of it and is there anything I need to fix on or is it good enough?

I hope you'll have the time to read this. But I just want you to know that I'm restarting my first Fanfic that I started writing on this site, cause I have come to realize that it needs a refresh and that the publishing timeline was out of order due to me going in and accidentally republishing it with changes.
          Anyway, how have you been and what have you been doing throughout this year? I'm looking forward to this next chapter and I hope you do finish this story cause I believe in you that you can finish it. Even though there are roadblocks and struggles, I know you have the ability to finish this amazing story.
          I also want to let you know that in the gaming world is that Halo Studios is done with Halo Infinite and will be focusing on Halo Campaign Evolve. I hope this game will go fruition and I hope it revives Halo itself. As for the new Halo book" Edge of Dawn is going to be audio recorded by the lovely voice actors of Master Chief and the new A. I. now known as Joy/Joyace.
          I wish you a lovely Thanksgiving and I hope you are doing well in college these days, and I wish you a lovely November.
          Peace.

Hey, I saw your announcement and I reply to it. But I'll do it here. I think you should do a mature warning if the scene is going to be violent or let them know which scene is not going to be mature and they can skip that scene if they want to. Writers on this site make a warning for people when they do lemon scenes.

Hi everyone! Cry here again. As I write this next Evocatus chapter, I've been debating whether or not to change the story's rating on Wattpad to Mature. Right now it's still unrated, but it obviously has a lot of graphic violence and horror elements that will only increase until the end of the story. So far, I've avoided slapping on the Mature rating in favor of individual content warnings by chapter, because of reasons including that non-Mature-rated stories tend to get more reads and the tag is also generally associated with more sexual material, which Evocatus has none of. That being said, I really don't want this story delisted for improper tagging, and according to the demographics tab, all of my readers fall into the above 18 category already. 
          
          Any thoughts on what I should do? If I decide to rate the story Mature, it will be with the release of the next chapter, which, spoiler alert, has maybe the most graphic violence in a chapter so far (the whole thing isn't a gorefest, the worst will be in a skippable section and the majority of the chapter is relevant character interaction and important plot points).  
          
          Anyway, give me your opinions on what to do and/or insight on how Wattpad vets and enforces these kind of things.  As always, thank you so much for reading, and have a lovely morning/noon/night. 
          
          Love you all, Peace.

PSA, watch out for AI scams. I’ve gotten three comments on just this last chapter from accounts asking if they can turn my work into art (comics, character pieces, etc). While of course tempting, DO NOT let anyone make any art based on your work unless you can 100% verify they are human, and even then, be careful. 
          
          Luckily, AI is pretty easy to detect rn; bots will say things like “_______ is my passion, I live for _____.” Or “Your story makes my heart feel alight for the first time!” It sounds nice, and it’s not real, almost nobody talks like that. Other red flags are stunted sentence structure that read more like a corporate pitch than an actual conversation, overuse of em-dashes—these sentence-dividing lines—(which I feel particularly snubbed about, bc I use them a lot), an overuse of emojis, and near absence of voice indicators like parentheses. There are other tells, but that is what jumps out most at me.
          
          As a closing statement, don’t use AI for creative purposes, it will only corrode your own abilities while also robbing your creations of your own voice. AI can be a great tool for like molecular simulations and digitized stress testing on hypothetical structures, but it is a god-awful writer.
          
          Sorry if this has been really preachy lol, it’s an issue I care a lot about. Ultimately what you do with your own work is your choice, just be wary of bad actors trying to use your hours of writing for their own short-term gain. Love you all, stay safe out there.

Just made some microscopic edits to the last chapter, fixing typos mainly. If you get a notification that Evocatus has been updated, that’s why.
