The Final Goodbye
My friends. My dear friends. You have turned many a page with me along this journey. I hope that after it all is said and done you will look back at these simple words etched on paper with joy. I know that ends are hard, they always are. There is always joy though, in remembering the good times we had following Hayden and Draek as they crossed all of Arvain in search for a better future.
Part of me wants to tell you all that this is not the end, that there are other stories of what happens to our heroes, and heroines. That there is so much more. While that is true, I am not sure when or if I will return to this world. I think that this story was meant to end here and so it did. One day though. One day.
About the Author…..
Nicholas was born in Fort Knox Kentucky. His parents were both in the United States Army at the time, so moving around every few years quickly became a part of his life. This gave him the gift of being able to call the whole world his home. The only constants that he found on every military base and in every new home were his books.
At a young age Nicholas quickly became lost in the world of literature, always veering off towards fantasy and science fiction. As he grew older, stories filled with adventure and in breathtaking faraway places began taking root in his mind. It wasn’t until later on down the road that he began to give life to these adventures. In 2011 Nicholas began to pen the story that would be called The Dragon Riders of Arvain.
Sincerely,
Nicholas K. R. Clausen
