Here is the product of my infection with others mad affection for fairy - making.....
miejsce to nie było od początku poświęcone komiksom, ale teraz mam fazę na komiksy...być może za 2 lata zacznę pisać o pomidorach lub klockach drewnianych, ale dzisiaj na topie są X-Men, Avengers, Batman, Superman....superbohaterowie wracają do mnie falami co jakiś czas....
[Ryld:] “ - Damn you! How many times have I saved your life?
[Pharaun:] - I've lost count.At any rate, this will make one more, in the course of which you'll finally be rid of your melancholy. Good – bye, old friend.
Pharaun turned and strode away.”

“ - This is actually a form of mind-reading. You won't be able to lie.
The Master of Sorcere chuckled.
- Some people would say that so handicapped, I won't be able to speak at all'

I fear we will not see each other again, dear heart, and I needed to look on you one last time. He did not belive a word of that last, though he very much wanted to.
-You've finished your charge and now return to Vhok's embrace? Is that it? He was surprised by the bitterness that leaked into his tone. His hands on her body grew less gentle. She smiled, reached up, and ran a long – nailed finger down his jaw-line.
You are so jealous, my mage. No, I will not return to Kaanyr. I have told him all that I was charged to tell, and now I am done with him. At least for now. I have grown interested in a different kind of man.
Pharaun ignored the implicit compliment.
What did you tell him of us? he asked.
Everything, she replied, That was my charge
Pharaun had expected nothing different, but the answer still pained him distantly.
If You will not return to him and your chrge is complete, why would we not see each other again? He asked her.
The question betrayed a certain weakness, and he hated himself for asking it, but he could not helf himself. She smiled, and her eyes grew as sad as her demonic blood allowed.
Because I do not think you will survive what is coming, she answered."

"Comme la plupart des tanar'ri, Araushnee avait pris un nouveau nom: Lloth, reine démoniaque des Abysses. Elle s'était taillé la part du lion dans son nouveau royaume... . Des ligues entières de démons tremblaient désormais devant elle, se bousculant pour exaucer ses caprices."
[Éternelle Rencontre, Le Bercau des Elfes, Elaine Cunningham, Fleuve Noir 2000 ]
Za swoją zdradę, bogini Araushnee została zamieniona w arachnida i zesłana na wieczną banicję do Otchłani.
“Jak większość tanar'ri, Araushnee przyjęła nowe imię: Lloth - demoniczna królowa otchłani. Zawładnęła lwią częścią swojego nowego królestwa. Całe zastępy demonów drżały od tej pory przed jej majestatem, zabijając się by móc wypełnić jej zachcianki.”

Jeszcze zanim zapadnie noc, Mytahl zacznie działać, okrywając całe miasto. Jutro, jak tylko będzie wystarczająco silny, nasze granice zostaną otwarte dla ras miłujących dobro. Nasze ambasady zostaną utworzone w królestwach krasnoludów, gnomów i halflingów. Cormanthyr od tej pory będzie nosił nazwę Myth Drannor na pamiątkę Mythala stworzonego za sprawą Mythanthara i Drannor, pierwszego elfa, który poślubił krasnoludzką kobietę.

Some two weeks ago I started reading Paths of Darknes by R.A.Salvatore. Getting through The Silent Blade was something akin to getting through the boredom of evening classes. I am not kidding. Oh, I may be a little overdoing. If not for a Jarlaxle charming appearance and the final Entreri vs Drizzt combat, the book might have been somewhat lost on me. I got intrigued in people's love for Drizzt -related books. It is not about Drizzt himself nor even about the plot. It is rather about unnerving way of making action go in the book, that seems rather crawl akwardly around virtually nothing. The author seems to prefer long debates on moral issues, impossibly elaborate lectures on characters' reasons, reflecions and decisions to setting vivid and spellbinding action. The characters turn themselves into ever-considering creatures, gripped tightly by their past, derermined solely by dark experiences and disturbingly halted by their always keen for any deep self-analysis minds. Not to mention, Drizzts's always wise and out-of-place "Dear Diary" remarks that once churned out as from some sage's spacious sleeve, dive deep into abyss of reader's memory.
I daresay that Drizzt Do'Urden should publish separate book of philosophy instead of troubling his poor fans with these fruitful thoughts.
While in The Silent Blade I perceived some entertaining brakes, the Spine of The World is totally invaded by Wulfgar and his Errtu's shadow. No, no, no -it is much too much for me. Errtu, Errtu, Errtu is everywhere in the book. I am getting mad and sick of Errtu end his exquisite torments exerted on Wulfgar. I really do not wish hearing any more of this Errtu. I am even affraid that soon one day Errtu might come for me.... . This is how I feel turning another page and reading of incessant Wulfgar's Errtu-like problems. It is silly wasting chapters this way. In fact I got intrigued with the story of Meralda and Jaka Sculi that I read with keen interest but it is not the story to be put in the Forgotten Realms fantasy book. If one or two wizards taken out and so for the halflings and spells too we would get another simple book with nothing in common with fantasy story. The book is too long, too long for the events it brings in.
As if objecting to the above written I am going to continue reading the series that was not the case for Lord of the Rings I found exceptionally boring. Why? Just because In fact, the book is not that bad, and the most interesting is the reason for which people like to read it. Besides, the story as a whole is about Drizzt, I mean drow and this is the race I love the most, however Do'Urden himself is by no means a fair representative of it. Next – out of curiosity as nobody should ever criticize any book not reading it to the very last page. I may be just hoping to find some worthwhile adventures...just that..... . For the very moment now, I find The Drow Trilogy, far better series. I should underline that I really enjoyed reading it.
