Epub version of the chapter is also attached below, as always!
Heather's epilogue, part two - the end! And very well-earned rest for our lovely scrungly squid-girl. But what of Maisie? Read on, and find out.
I don't know what to say. Here we are, dear readers, after six years, in excess of 2.5 million words, and one hell of journey for our Heather. This is is it! The final chapter of Katalepsis Book One. We made it. I almost can't believe it.
Thank you, all of you, for all your support, whether you've been here since the beginning or you just started reading this week! None of this would have been remotely possible without all of you, the audience and readers and patrons, and everything you have given to support my storytelling. You made this happen! Thank you.
I'm not going to bog this chapter post down by descending into reflections - not just yet, anyway! As I mentioned in the New Years' chapter post, I'm going to write up something over the next week or so - reflections on Book One, some of my thoughts on how far I've come, my plans for the brief break, and my plans for the start of Book Two and the rest of the year. I'm not sure when I'll post it, probably next weekend, but maybe the weekend after? If I wait two weeks, all the public readers can be caught up too, so I'm not 100% sure when. I'm also thinking of doing a public Q&A post for Katalepsis questions, which was suggested by some readers and patrons; I'll probably do that right after I do the big upcoming post about plans, I haven't really figured out how to do it just yet, but I think it would be fun.
Anyway! There we go. The final chapter, at least until the opening of Book Two, which will probably be happening in ... March, I think! More details soon!
And! Haha, you thought you were going to get away without more art? Nay! For I bring wonders from the discord! This week, I want to share this absolutely incredible piece, titled Checkmate, showing Twil discovering the depths of Tenny's skills (by the just as skilled Cera!)

This has been so great! Congratulations, you're amazing!
Thank you so very much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the ending, and the whole story, too! That's very kind of you to say; I'll keep doing my absolute best!
Thank you! A solid 3- point landing (er; 9-point landing? How many Heathers are we up to now?) to this long & winding tale; feeling some feels!
You're so very welcome! Thank you!!! As for Heather's landing, she's got 6 tentacles and 2 legs, so ... 8 points??? Good question! I'm really glad the ending landed so well, no matter on how many limbs, it's been such a long journey to get here!
;3 what a ride. Even if I was only on it for the last month, lol. Tysm, can't wait to see what everyone else gets up to in book 2
Thank you thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the ride, indeed! You're so very welcome, thank you for being here! And I'm really excited for Book Two as well, there's so many other stories to tell.
I don't want it to end! Waiting till March will be pain. 😭 Still, so happy to be here and reading this. It was so worth the wait!
Hahaha, same! It's a very strange feeling, finally wrapping up Book One after all this time. I will certainly be starting Book Two as soon as I can! And thank you, I'm delighted you enjoyed the ending so much, it means a lot. Thank you!

You are so very welcome! I'm delighted you enjoyed it! The ending just felt so right. And I'm really hype for Book Two as well!
Ahhhh! I can't stop smiling at the ending! so glad after one book and an eternity Heather and Maisie are back together.
Thank you thank you! Thank you so much. Knowing this ending puts a smile on a reader's face is more reward than I can express. Heather and Maisie, finally back together!
