Aftermath

And here I hoped I could get in a couple of good, quiet weeks before getting into any scuffles with past adversaries. I hope the newcomers from alternate time periods haven't gotten the impression that I'm an instigator, after witnessing my battle with Yuber. I would like nothing more than peace and quiet, but somehow, the temptation was impossible to resist. I suggested that the thirst to clash swords with the demon came from the True Lightning rune, and I'm beginning to think I was right. I may have goaded him, but in the end, he drew on me first, and I chose to match his swords rather than calm the situation and withdraw. I have this sinking feeling that it may not be the last time, either.
