I've come across an interesting concept as of late. The premise of it is quite interesting. And it is quite in-depth for such a simple matter. To explain it initially is simple. The concept is that of equivalent exchange. The idea that you cannot have something, from nothing. You must first give up something of equal or greater value. But it is much more complex than that....and has a greater impact on the current situation than it appears. I will write more on this subject as I continue my studies. But I believe it may be very useful against the undead... :: I have travelled quite a bit since my re-awakening as it were. I cannot help but take advantage of the fact that I feel well, and alive for once. I had the pleasure of speaking with Arcane Mage Slayer at Laurelin the other day. He's quite the gentleman, which was especially useful when that idiot Rinscher was buggering me. He was able to cast a spell on him to ward him off, which hopefully scared him away from me. Which is good, considering were it not for the Monks of the Temple, Rinscher would have succeeded in killing both King Perea and High Prince Native, though I am more upset about the latter of the two. I've also travelled to Alkhazar again, take a...less travelled route, and met a group of travelling merchants who go by the names of various sins of man. I would have no trouble with them at all had one of them not sought fit to threaten me on the rooftops of Alkhazar. (I have become a bit enamored with running atop the roofs, I am embarrassed to admit.) :: Paranoia is still at a dangerous high in Alkhazar. I can understand it, to an extent. I myself do not trust many people at all. Though I have been trying to judge people on their actions, not how I see them. Yet my instinctive judgments have usually been correct, so far. :: Now I have set out once more, to the Valve. I have passed throught before, but only now have been given a proper tour by the Grand Champion, Whurili. They seem to be well prepared in the event of an undead invasion. But when I first arrived, they and a few orcs were discussing alliances namely the idea that orcs and dwarves would ally, and humans and elves...but against whom? Each other? I will have to find out as much about this as possible. But for now, I've decided to begin officially leaving my old life behind. Or, atleast, the agony and bitterness I had because of it. In a symbolic gesture, I have decided to leave one of my journals hidden outside the Valve. I have all the valuable information from them written down elsewhere. But there is no longer any need to try and recall the false memories which once plagued my mind. I leave part of my insanity here, behind me. And still, I look forward to the future and the seven skies.
