The Heart Pyre

This episode is the first of two bonus episodes portraying what Logan and Finn have been up to while away from the rest of the group.

I apologize for the long, unexpected hiatus. As mentioned in the episode, this is a solo project and with my new job taking over all of my time I've found myself barely able to work on the show at all. I truly hope I'll find time to work on the end of the season in the near future but I can't predict any release dates for now.
