Raining fire and brimstone on my foes. The simple joys of eating and sleeping. Standing up to the injustice of a petty, power mongering minor official underneath the weight of a mountain of earth and stone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And every now and then I can call upon powers I used to wield. A curse, full of dark and corrupt energy escapes my lips, and someone around me visibly wilts as that power courses through their body, soul and spirit. It&#8217;s . . . frustrating . . . this new existence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shards and fragments\u00a0of my former life give just enough tantalizing glimpses that I yearn for more . . . \u00a0but I only receive tiny morsels, ephemeral and diaphanous slivers of memories and times and places and peoples.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Would that I had never uttered the Abyssal incantations that stored a fragment of my essence in the earthen and metal body I now wear. Would that I never prepared for the eventuality of a death that came all too soon and triggered the eldritch energies that reawakened me. Would that I had never gone against my beliefs and come back from the Void.<\/p>\n<p><small><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Image inserted by the ImageInject WordPress plugin\" href=\"http:\/\/wpinject.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Photo<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/60997349@N02\/7999372487\" target=\"_blank\">siliaFX<\/a> <a title=\"Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hugodlr.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-inject\/images\/cc.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and then I can access memories and thoughts from a life that is no longer mine.
