Things are different. I think the hole in the wall near the bathrooms of Dundee inn proclaim that loudly. Well, as loudly as a hole can. I should really stop trying to sound so fancy - I don't do it justice.

Anyway, I saw all the old faces again. Az seemed very polite. Mind you, she always was, so I let it slide. Asrai seemed glad to see me. I think she asked me how I was, but I thought she was talking to another person, so I 'ignored' it. Oops. If you ever read this, Asrai (since Valorn still seems to be full of peekers...right, sis?), I really am sorry! That is, if it was directed at me. Feel free to correct me on that front.

Speaking of which, she seems to have a new stalker. Interesting.

I went on the cannon again. I arrived on the snowy plateaus, but I think I've already written that. I got another glimpse of Kilican. Saw my first Gold Crystal Guardian since coming back here - it was very dull. Went right up to the Scarab King - at least, that's what Tyral Nyril told me it was.

Not nice. Not nice at all.

P.S. No, Nyril did not like me getting his name wrong. Just in case you were wondering.
