So, I finally got around to making the last category banner today...

And I'm also looking around for a photograph of forest-claimed ruins to make a new banner for QfLD. I need a picture for the Temple of Air, where Kopaka, Onua, and Pohatu were studying at the beginning of Chapter 12 of QfLD, since it becomes a rather significant setting toward the end of the story... Plus I just like it as a location, going along with the Temple of Rain as one of the elemental temples remaining from Éa-Nui. Haven't thought up any of the others yet, though.

...I also wish magic were real. There are two things hanging over me right now, one of which happened recently (although I knew it was coming) and has now left me gloomy and in pain – much more so than I had expected. Rather so much that I can't ignore or forget about it right now, although that will come. The other I'm more hopeful about (indeed, almost happy by comparison), but I wish it, too, could be avoided. But with magic... both could have been resolved in an instant, leaving me with neither pain nor stress.

But the more one wishes for a fantasy, the worse the reality becomes. So I'm going to go distract myself by dreaming about getting Nocturn and the Viking Longship next weekend. That's one thing I can't wait for.

And until then, I can lose myself in Le-Wahi and the Temple of Air.
