This early morning, something awoke me from my slumber. Down here under, it was still a mere 1am, so little had I slept. Yet strangely, I found myself prematurely stirred to the keying board.

Unreal silence. The grandest of discoveries: the history was over, and the Legend reborn anew!

I raise my glass to all fellows. On this day of joyous foppery, and most meritorious whim, prosit! The Wizard and Emperor rise again. Heroes shall walk among us once more.

Tonight, the Halls of Valhalla have sprung wide open.
