Author's Note: Hello, I'm Readarex, the author here. And I really appreciate that you have picked my series 'The Lying Flower' to read. I hope that you plan on continuing it and you're welcome to do that. But first read this for disclaimer and some additional information.

Warning and Disclaimer: If you're a weak hearted person or someone who gets easily affected by emotional scenes, so much that it starts to cause problems in their normal life then don't continue the series. Because as you can see in the prologue there are gore scenes and there will be more and greater levels of gore scenes in the future. There will be emotional ones too. But if you think you can handle them or that my writing skills aren't enough to convey such emotions then you're welcome to read. 

Also, This story is a work of fiction and it doesn't claim to be real. The characters and their backstories are fictional too so any resemblance to a real life person is purely coincidental or is done with permission. It doesn't intend to disrespect or portray negatively any type of religion or a belief. This story doesn't give permission to do any kind of activity that is done in it, if you intend on doing them then do it at your own risk. If you don't agree with a character's thinking or mindset then it's just that character's thinking, you can hate them but the story doesn't tell anything about what's right or wrong so it's all on you to decide. 

This story is not about anything like the truth of life or something so don't take any kind of philosophy in it seriously. It's solely meant for entertainment and to be enjoyed so enjoy it.

The recommended age rating for this series by the author is 18+, so if you think you're over 18 then you can read it. 

Chapters and Extras: There will be two types of chapters in this series that will contain the story. The first type will be labelled as CHAPTERS that will contain the main story line. The second type will be labelled as EXTRAS, these chapters will contain the side stories of the things that have happened between the CHAPTERS. Extras are skippable if you don't have much time and only want to read the main story. But you can read them if you want to know more about the characters or know the reasons behind some of their actions. Again, the Extras are canon but not so important ones, so they do take place in the real storyline but they are just for fun, they won't affect the main story much.

I'm also planning on a third type of chapter which will be called DREAMS. They will be more like what ifs and won't contain any story that takes place in the real story line. So, they'll be only like what if that had happened instead of that or what if he had done that etc. But I don't have much content for them for now so I don't think they'll ever come out or even if they will then not anytime soon. Anyways I'll notify you all if I start writing the DREAMS.

1) Huology- It's a subject in which shades are studied. It's like a science for shades but most people don't consider it as a subject because it's mostly based on hypotheses rather than theories. 

2) Homo-Celestians- The next step of evolution, the species that all the Homo-sapiens evolved into.

3) Neyth-ra- The name for shades in huology. It's just like how animals have a scientific name.

4) Syn-ra- The pattern or design that appears in the middle of an eye shade.

5) Naked energy- The energy that shades emit/create out of nothing. Which violates the law of conservation of energy.

6) Eshpher- A different name for shades, not mostly used by people.

7) Yerat and Wenet- The currency that is being used on earth at the moment (after the betrayal war). 1 Yerat = 100 Wenet.

8) Sect'ing- Literally means sectioning but the word has been modified with time and tongue. The word 'Sectioning' is still used but sect'ing is also used along with it. Mostly used by highschoolers or teens (who have a low sense of grammar or just want to make their language easier to pronounce). D'part is also a word that has been modified and it means scattering or shattering, kinda same as sect'ing. Well there are more words that have been modified but I'm not going to write them all here. But if they'll appear in the story then don't worry I'll write their meanings. 

I guess this much is enough for now. There are more words but like I said at the end of the sect'ing part if they'll or any other new words occur in the story then I'll write their meaning so don't worry. 

Thank you for reading this 'Author's Note' hope you didn't get bored. Now you can continue the series. I hope you'll enjoy it and won't drop it by finding any part boring. Hope we will meet again in the next 'Author's Note', till then enjoy. Peace out.
