(Overdue) Farewell






Something I've wanted to say or explain for a long, long time...  You guys, the Wizard101 Community, mean a lot to me, and it has been a lengthy struggle ever since the beginning of the year.  While my unexplained absence may have seemed inconsiderate or rude, my silence and suppression was more than necessary to uphold the peace of the community.  As a Community Leader, the effect of my voice had implied consequences.  

I made many promises to myself and others to bring closure to my Wizarding status earlier, but there have been titanic obstacles along the way.  Until now, I have found peace and happiness once again.  I will be able to pop in and out of the Spiral every now and then, but my retirement is necessary in PVP and as a Community Leader, for the sake of maintaining harmony within Wizard101.  There's only so much that I can explain without explaining, and this video is the best I can give.
