I wrote this a year ago based on Algernon's many letters to me over the course of his life. I have included some posts to add context.
His story is that of a typical mage. Those of us (as I'm sure Zyoska, Fist and Furion would agree) with longevity are the most stubborn of creatures, time after time picking ourselves up after set backs to repair our wands and continue to resist the bullies and terrors within Avalon.
At the time I collated this it was not appropriate to publish given the behaviour described over time by the series of letters and posts. In particular concerning Salvador and the impact his constant attacks had on the moral and development of Algernon as a mage and indeed Avalonian.
At that point in time Salvador had appeared to renounce his sadism and seemed focussed on working on growing Mercinae for Good.
Times are different now with Salvador finally losing the false sheen of a civilised man and reverting to the sadism apparent during his days as a Thakrian.
This document can now be released.
