The Umber Army-Chapter 2: Arrow and Shadow Chapter 2 is finally here! Ten more pages of the story for you to enjoy! This time I wrote it in an actual program with a spelling check, so hopefully there aren't as many mistakes as the first chapter, lol. Also, have no idea what Scratch did to the formatting once I copied it over to the project 0 - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Now that it is summer, I hope to put out chapters more frequently. Ask for pings if you want me to alert you to the next chapter or follow the studio to see when a project gets added. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Next chapter: not out yet.
