Most people know.... I don't like heights. But over the years I have overcome them. Most people know that for many years I loathed the cannon for the simple fact that it sent people Life Monuments more often then not. But in the last year....seems everyone in Valorn has been through...so much, that being frightened and or not liking the cannon started to seem very silly to me. My bondmate, loved the cannon and would ride it often until learning that I disapproved of it. My excuse was the fact that as a cleric I do not like seeing any hurt... or blown up. But it was my own fear that colored my judgement on it. Well I am happy to say that after many... many turns of the sunrifter I have finally overcome that fear! As a gift I took my bondmate to Caernivale and we rode the cannon together! It wasn't as bad as I feared especially for my first time ever! I landed in the Verthedge Forest.... sadly I landed ON a Thistle... ouch. But I am no worse for wear from the event and it could have been worse. I can see perhaps doing it again... though I doubt I will go without my love.
