Well, I'd like to say this came as no surprise to me when I died. Arikel was never meant to live to old age. I would like to clear up a few minor things. He was not really all THAT stupid, he was child like. Yes, a certain amount of stupidity was involved, but as somoene once compared him to a 12 year old, they weren't far off the mark. Arikel saw life with a childs innocense and wonder. Which unfortunately made him look even stupider than I intended. *sigh* Owell. He never really knew his calling in life, I had no definite plans for him, until one day Lyseria was being attacked in town. He couldn't do anything to help her, so he looted her corpse for her, and gave her the things. Then he went to Kennan and told him that he saw someone kill Lys, and that he had looted her and returned her things, but that he still deserved a flag for breaking the law. After that, joining Dawn just seemed natural. I had been considering Arbs till then, but after that Arikel had a love/hate relationship with Arbs. One thing I can be pretty proud of is the VERY minimal aggression I showed with Arikel. Thats very unlike most of my characters. Its HARD playing a pacifist in a world where violence is the norm. He won more fights than he lost I think but just hated starting them. Anyway, enough rambling, I just have some farewells to make. If I don't mention your name please go screw yourself if you're offended. This notes for me, not you :P Dafanshai. My pigtailed little girl. *sigh* I'm gonna mis slapping your pork smelling self around in the haven. Mayenne. I hope you manage to get back into the Haven. I think we both know how badly you got screwed on that whole deal. Graf. You pussy *slap*. Why'd you have to go and leave? Yeah yeah, time constraints and all. You'll be back in a week. :P Lyseria and Phindar. *tag* Hahahahaha! Lets see you guys tag me back now. :P Frayndra. Guess you'll have to get your own damn eq now. :P Calarathiel. I was planning to propose to you until I ate those damn grapes in Sirene. Then I was going to ask for hair care tips. *sigh* Be well Pretty Lady. Annabelle. Man, we had some good times. We lived through some rough fights together. I guess at this point theres only one thing to say. WHEN YOUR FRIEND HAS ONE DEATH LEFT, AND IS MOSTLY DEAD, DON'T WALK INTO THE CAVEFISHER!!! AIIIEEEGGHH!!! Heh no I'm kidding. It's ok. I knew this would be Arikels last night. That shambler thing the other night really screwed me. Finally Sachiel. You were Arikels best friend. You were there with him at the end, just as he wanted it. I'm sorry he left like he did, and on the night he did with Graf dying and all. It was just time. *sigh* I'm going to miss dunking you in the fountain, and sitting on you, and drawing pictures of your little boobies. Here's one final picture for you. *You see a stick figure here, he has some scribbles on his back that look vaguely like wings, and a square halo over his head. He has a look of peace on his face, as he patiently waits for his best friend.* Be well all. *bow* Arikel
