starting again

[incandescens]

Did very little today. Extremely nice. :)

Did however complete the Normal level of Diablo 3, slaying the Lord of Terror, freeing Heaven from his evil grasp, etcetera. Am now playing the on the Nightmare level, and becoming reacquainted with how it feels to run away at high speed while gulping healing potions from a group of pitiful low-level monsters. Ah well, soon I will have my meatshield Templar minion back again, which will help.

'I learned that her name was Proverb'

And the secret names
of all we meet who lead us deeper
into our labyrinth
of valleys and mountains, twisting valleys
and steeper mountains —
their hidden names are always,
like Proverb, promises.
Rune, Omen, Fable, Parable,
those we meet for only
one crucial moment, gaze to gaze,
or for years know and don’t recognize

but of whom later a word
sings back to us
as if from high among leaves,
still near but beyond sight

drawing us from tree to tree
towards the time and the unknown place
where we shall know
what it is to arrive.

And what does Azula think of the Templar? O:>

She helpfully counsels him as he realises that his Order has lied to him and brainwashed him, and supports him in his decision to go back and have a Few Stern Words with them! She's all heart. ;)

All heart and fiery explosions?

Not to mention the chain lightning. Low-damage, but jumps from enemy to enemy for up to six targets a shot. Very satisfying for dealing with low-grade minions. :)
