I’ve known Raven (called Trae by men) for most of my life, though space and time have often divided us. He was my prime mover in my quest for knowledge and my decision to keep the Archives alive. I’m glad to have a place here in his village.
Where I am going with my life, I am not sure – I believe my desires exceed my ability, and it is discouraging. As for my interests, I admit that most physical activities do not appeal to me, though I hold nothing against them. Instead I prefer experiencing music from past ages down to the present day in practically all categories, stories of the printed page in both word and pictures, boxes of electricity and machinery one can control, swords and artifacts, art, history, philosophy, vehicles, pictures on screen and much more. Food….well, there is little that I will turn down. My primary exercise is also my chief mode of transportation – a two-wheeled steel-and-rubber apparatus.
The stories I enjoy are varied indeed – stories of magic and splendor, of visions of the future, of things that creep, of the nature of man, about life itself. Writing personally is something I have dabbled in, though I am quite critical of my abilities to the point of hopelessness. I am just too much of a perfectionist mindset.
I have a slight colouring of the mind which causes me to experience the world differently than would most “ordinary” people. Unfortunately, it means that I am quite sensitive emotionally and slow to mature, often quite obsessive and hesitant to offend. It is as much of a curse as it is a blessing, though this, I believe, is mostly self-inflicted.
I can only hope that you are enlightened by your sojourn here. May the Archives be preserved to the best of my memory…
