Despite the game becoming a little harder over the years, it's still relatively gentle compared to the crazy variants that are out there. I'm sure I'll ascend eventually, one of these day.

But not today. Despite the best efforts of my large pet cat, I had the bright idea to bump into a charming pair of wood nymphs. And then ask for a second date. Sure, a few things disappeared, but that could have been an accident. How could such sweet creatures have any ulterior motives?
... having chased shadows for a thousand turns in the darkness of the mines, lost all earthly possessions, and now fainting from hunger, I turned to the gods. In her last moments, this Valkyrie was miraculously cured of Deafness so that she could hear Tyr's displeasure loud and clear. In a last act of defiance she anesthetized herself with a floating eye and went to sleep on her own terms, very far from Valhalla. Better luck next time!
