Long Time Coming

I know you have all been waiting for it, and I am so sorry that it's taken me this long to finally get the guts to post this. I've been distant for awhile now, my life has taken quite the turn and for once, I've found art as more of a comfort over writing. I tried so hard to come back here to post for you guys, but the guilt of letting out all down once again made it that much harder to open the site. I am very very sad to say that for now, I will be leaving Ardent. I hope it's not forever, I really do. I love all of you so much, and you've become such good friends over the years. Hopefully all I need is a little bit of a break and then I can come back in, totally refreshed. I hope you don't hate me all for making you wait like this, it's been killing me... But this is why I am erring on the side of leaving, I just feel far too guilty about once again disappearing. I need to focus on my life and either let go or fix my marriage, plus taking over at work has been dragging me down. I no longer want you guys to have to sit around and wait, it was unfair of me to be here with one foot in and one foot out.

That being said, I don't want my characters to just vanish. I don't want to kill them all off, or have a random sickness or something like that. I will try my best to RP out some closes but I just... I really can't count on that. So I turn to you guys. Mostly with Abaven, because I don't want to just walk away from it. Nyx has too much going on to dump it on Lark, so if you have any ideas please toss them at me. Most of my characters I can do away with without having too much of a fuss, it's mostly for those involved in plots to have it all said and done, and closed. I... really hate to let go of Fable as I love him so much. Bri I know that you made the design, but I would prefer to keep my paid art of him to myself. The table you made and the avatar that Shrap made can go with him if you plan to readopt him out. He is going to be one of the hardest to let go. I have ideas for most of my characters, but if you have anything else in mind or some suggestions, please say so.

I also have a lot of gems. A... lot. If there are things you guys want help purchasing, please reach out to me privately and I would be more than willing to give them to people who need them.

Again, I am terribly sorry about all of this you guys. This got a little long winded but I truly love you all. Deciding to leave has NOT been an easy one, but I simply cannot drag you along while I figure out my life.
