Hello, my sugar cubes! Welcome to my new story, "Haywire Ranger". I hope you enjoy reading it. 😊

Don't hesitate to comment and/or click the star if you like it! ❤️

I became a Wattpad Creator thanks to my story "Amanita: Poison Shot". Have a look at it if you have some time! 😉

Spread the word if you enjoyed reading this story or any of my other stories. I'd really appreciate it! ❤️

STORY NOTES

· Any resemblance to real people, fictional characters, places, or objects, among others is a pure coincidence. However, pursuing inspiration while reading other works is what keeps fiction evolving, I believe. I love "How To Train Your Dragon" and "Horizon Zero Dawn" and this story only borrows some themes as a homage, but this is an original story that does not present the exact same plot points and characters.

· I write using British English. The spelling of some words is different from other versions of English. Please, take that into account. Thank you. 😊 But that doesn't mean that the characters are British.

The author does not endorse, encourage, or promote any behaviour that may cause harm, discrimination, or any other illegal activities and/or unethical ideas. The content presented within this work is purely for entertainment purposes. Any actions or words from the characters in this book in relation to that kind of foul behaviour are a product of their weaknesses and cannot be construed as a means of ill intent from the author.
