A long time ago in a far away place, I had the
occasion to challenge a wizzard practising the
black arts to a competion of cunning and
intrigue.Me as my alter-ego,"Baron Mind"
and he as his, "Doctor Vonskotianstein." He
had recently challenged his master for his
staff and won thus graduating from neophyte
to master. The story is long, with many
entertaining turns, which I shouldn't get into
now. In the end, he handed his most prized
staff over to me, and I spirited it away to a
safe place where it remains today. Before that
happened, and in the midst of the adventure,
he embarked on a project he was quite proud
and excited about. He began to write a guide
for neophytes to be more proficient in their
invocation. I was able to convince him that he
should rip out all the pages, and give me the
book so I could draw pictures of flowers in it.
He did. All but acouple of pages in the
introduction were ripped out and burned.
One of the surviving pages is featured in the
background. I turned the book upside-down,
and drew about a picture a year in it for a
while. They weren't exactly flowers. feel free
to have a
look.
