Some of you may have been under the assumption that since last we spoke was just over 2 weeks ago, that I've been ignoring my duties in regard to the timeless craft of NES playing. Or maybe even thought I had finally ventured into the realm of the modern.

Fear not, for I have simply embarked on my quest to overcome some of the most epic and time consuming titles!

The Ultima series has been on my mind for far to long now so I felt it was time to envelop myself into the vast and phantasmal lands of Britannia. My first task was to ensure the evil serpent Exodus was never allowed to see the moon of Trammel. This long and confusing journey left me very disoriented and even had me resort to visiting ye ole gamefaqs for some expert advice for my quest. After much pain and head scratching I was finally able to prevent the rise of Exodus and cleanse the land of his impending plague.


But the joy of the people only lasted so long before their hearts started to turn darkness and despair. The wise old liege King British enlisted my help in order to bring the Avatar back to Britannia and prove to the masses that hope still flourished throughout the lands. Thus began my Quest of the Avatar! From my previous journey to thwart the Serpent I had learned a valuable lesson before proceeding on future such quests. The Golden Rule of Ultima you might say. And it was this: "It is vitally important to read all lore that doth came packaged originally at retail".

With this in mind I was able to craft my character, learn the meaning of many useful magic spells, create a team of warriors worthy of accompanying the Avatar, learn to navigate ye cursed Moongates, and know general directions to move me onward to complete thy quest.

Although the moons of Trammel and Felucca ran many cycles I was able to master each of the 8 virtues and obtain the Codex hidden from all in the depths of the Abyss, and thus obtain true Avatarhood and bring happiness back to the land of Britannia and joy into the eyes of the old king!


Not to be outdone, a small family in a neighboring land also underwent a perilous journey of their own. Once a powerful wizard was able to subdue a most ferocious dragon into the seemingly placid confines of a beautiful piece of art. But as time passed the dragon's power began to return and threaten to destroy those who had imprisoned him. Now old and frail the wizard enlisted the help of his vernal family. They embarked in a quest that will hence for be known as the Legacy of the Wizard.

In this perilous and confounding quest each member of the family was able to apply their formidable skills to finding each of the 4 crowns, concluding in the mighty Dragon Slayer Sword. With this sword the bravest of knights known as Raos was able to stay the relentless onslaught of the beast and overcome the murderous, ravenous monster.

It is also worth noting that this journey of integrity wasn't taken alone. No, not by any means. I was accompanied by the veracious champion and heroic paladin known only as Sir Duke.Togo! The mighty warrior of legend! And although the might of his once powerful blade is now weighed upon by the experience of many battles and a taxing life spanning many eons he was an invaluable asset to the cause. Please, before the sun sets on his life of achievement do him the honor of commiserating via comment left in this very scroll or in the greatly acclaimed youtube channel video which shall hence forth be linked to at the bottom of this find parchment.


As if these 3 tales of bravery and valor weren't enough, a rapacious-minded youth saw fit to address me in the comforts of mine own youtube channel. He sought to blaspheme my deeds stating that Air Fortress should not be considered complete without achieving success in the dreadful second quest. Verily, the arrogance and gall of such a proclamation mustn't go unmet! Thus he had me don my cosmic armor and my celestial steed once again in order to defend the Farmel quadrant as I did in the days of old.
