Goodbye

[GryffonDurime]

On that clear summer evening, a boat drifted slowly out of Forest's harbor, and borne on it's decks was a lone old man clad in robes of white and silver. Clutched in his hands were his two most beloved tokens: a gilded emblem of hid office in Dustari, and a wizened old branch from the Tree of Life of Forest. The old man laughed, a melodious, freespirited peal that echoed across the Bay. Lowering the brim of his wizard's hat, he spoke softly to himself:

"It was time. Besides, all this water...I'm more of a desert creature anyway."

It was time. I spent so much of my two years in Dustari fighting against inactive kings, and I'd like to leave gracefully before I become what I hate. Graal Kingdoms just isn't proper soil for the seed of roleplaying to take root in, I suppose. I leave all of you with the begining of the Hyralts, my legacy. Use the story well, mabey you can make it work where I couldn't. In addition, I've been around for so very long. All my friends from the 2k1 Generation: Wryoko, Scarlett, Zurkiba, GP, Nappa, Lance, Googi, Guy, Larrien, Amagius, Peter (AFROSOX!), Axel, Arwen; they're all gone, and I'm feeling a bit like a relic in this new generation of players.

To Forest, I say this: Judge tenderly of me. I never really was the person who was best upon the throne, just the person best next to it. I hope all of you do well. I'd also like to say a special farewell to my sucessor, Lasaria, and the person who I would consider one of my best friends in Graal, Shawn.

All of you, be well. Zormite; get your act together. Dustari; remember your past. Pirates; you have a good leader in Alan, he's done well. And to the Samurai; your leaders show a promising intrest in their past and how to improve themselves, that's rare for your kingdom.

I've been Gryffon Raku Lawrene Paparatski Raphael Raziel Rhodus Rhone Maha Raaj d'Obsydyon Kassandros Anlumen Teliron Sebastien Crecendius Glaive Durime for three years; I'm off to new challenges and more roleplaying on Valikorlia. I highly recommend that server to anyone who still enjoys true RP.
