Wisdom, some insist, is the fruit of experience –of mistakes made and losses felt, of small steps taken in the direction of larger things.
Victories and success seem distant in these desperate times where survival hangs in the balance.
But losses have been felt, mistakes have been made and such experience has seen the taking of many small steps
and, it would seem, now is the time for another step to be taken,
A step forward, a step made in experience that has not been pleasant but that has borne fruit .....

He paused the game...
"Woah! Morgie! I just leveled up, man! Hold up a minute and let me set my stuff up."
Larry began to ponder over his level-up points and what to do with them.
"I guess I will be a Ranger...for that is what Mistral would remember me as. She will be so glad to see me as I once was.
Let's see...my bio was He is a guy that hates undead creatures and loves the naturalistic world. He devotes time to fighting prowess in order to be the big man with the skills needed to stop trouble. He is more atune to city-life than out in the woods, so people skills are more important than figuring out where bears live..."
But then Larry stopped and looked at what he had wrote down.
"But...I never was any good at playing a ranger. I only chose that character long, long ago because of the Robin-hood notion. That was years ago...the same character before the RP forum even existed on IW."
Larry realized that he had learned so much more about the world since those days,,,and to repeat the past might mean to repeat the same mistakes. He did not want that. If Mistral would remember him as the Bumbling Ranger that nearly destroyed the world...she'd not heed his call when he called her from the dead. It might be better to show her that he had learned from his mistakes,,,from his experience,,,and could play a better role on this forum than a Ranger that did not act like a Ranger. It was time to grow up and let Robin-hood fantasies die with his innocent past.
He erased his character sheet and began again...

Larry watched as his life points rose after deciding what level he'd take. An easy decision was to go for straight a fighter level...and he needed the strength. These days, it was getting hard for a person to live. He flexed his muscles and felt them gain power, and he felt good.
"Okay, Morgie...carry on. Where the hell are we? I mean...who lives like this?"
