This episodesy starts with a quick bit about me facing the world and its perception of me and then I go into introducing two of my characters in first person as an experiment to see if I sound different even when not really thinking about my voice from an outside perspective. The characters are Sapphire and Elonine, whom I have spoken of before in this podcast. Sapphire, from one of the Dungeons & Dragons-campaigns I play, is the princess character who is inspired by queen Ozma of the books about Oz. Elonine is a barbarian witch from Symbaroum who, during that campaign came to terms with her own capabilities and grew confident enough to feel comfortable with her future responsibilities as a clan keeper. And here is the sonnet: A glimmer of hope My heart cannot begin to state, The depths of love I did not know, I thought I must accept my fate; The path I’ve walked since long ago. For joy and love could only yearn, Through mist of angst I could not see, Their kindness guided me to learn, The answer right in front of me. They all stepped up, and even though I held them all in high regard, I never thought that they’d bestow A wounded bird their earned reward. My heart cannot begin to state, A friendship bond, a love so great.
