EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 45 v2 [ROUGH] + THE STORY SO FAR 1-45 v2 (Patreon)

SEVERAL THINGS:

• Candice Rice's name is now Candice Meyer. This may change again, but having her nickname be "Dice" and her last name be "Rice" just didn't work for me. She's still "Dice" though.
  
• Chapter 46 might have to wait till the weekend, sorry. Had to do some corrections and more work than expected on the upcoming Sufficiently Advanced Magic Kickstarter this week.
  
• I know you guys liked the last ending to this chapter, but I think it needed more and allowed me to do what I wanted to do originally, which is remind people just a little that Rei isn't the only badass on the field.
  
• Lastly, next week will probably be a gap week! 46 will make 3 chapters in a row, and I with two Kickstarters coming (one unannounced) I have to lock some of that work down. Sorry!

*********

A few rules & reminders:

• Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.
• Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
• On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!

That's it, so without further ado... Enjoy!
