A flashback to Aranea's time as matesprit to Her Imperious Condescension, a dream shared by both Meenah Peixes and Aranea Serket.  Mindfang finds solace in the arms of her matesprit of the last fifty sweeps, Porrim Maryam, as they prepare to launch an offensive against the Imperial Navy Aranea once served in.

Yep, big time jump here.  Thus begins the third and final portion of this story and it may be the longest of the three, much as Nobody Lives Forever was the longest part of the original trilogy.  I haven't had the time/energy to devote towards this as of late, but know that I have it all mapped out; just a matter of getting it all written.  I'm still ahead of the curve a bit, fear not.   I've always thought about doing a prequel of sorts to the Mindfang Journals involving Aranea's time with Meenah and this gave me a chance to visit that part of her tale; hope you dig it!

And I have caught up fully! I'm so thrilled that you are keeping this up, I get giddy every time I go to read it! I feel like this could have been a real thing that Mindfang and the Dolorosa would have been, had Dualscar not culled the latter. I feel like I'm reading an actual timeline! The fifty-sweep time skip threw me off a little here, but sometimes, you gotta slip one in to get to a relevant event. I'm excited to see how Aranea will react to Rufioh if they do meet in this timeline. It was about sixty sweeps that they had met since Porrim's death in NLF, wasn't it? I don't remember fully. Truth be told, when I read of Felida finding a matesprit in Kayolo, I was mildly heartbroken for my own character xD but it is your story, and I'm truly awed but each detail you add with every chapter. Also, when I saw Kayolo say "You only live once." I had to laugh! Its literally in her name. Speaking of whom, would she have hit her hundredth sweep yet? I don't believe her age was clarified before. If this is an actual thing, she could be making her Sojourn with the gang! I read the comments on precious chapter and see that you're currently working on chapter 37 now, correct? I often wonder how long you'll make this fic. I will truly be devastated when it ends. This is the longest and best written fan fiction I have ever read in all my twenty (almost twenty one) years! I can't wait to read the next chapter, and, as always, keep up the fantastic work! :)
