He struggleth masterfully, bringing all weapons, both White and Chartruse (and funny littly ones with polka dots), to his aid. And yet, the tests are strong and threaten, yea, to overwhelm him. But wait! Verily, a light doth flicker, yea, even at the end of the tunnel doth it flicker! A solution with honor seemeth at hand, and graspeth he for it mightily, straining the sinews of his being towards the goal. Lo, for the time is nearly upon him that he shall be finished with this level of trials and tribulations, even so close doth it come. And, as this moment of anticipation waxeth great within him, yet verily hath he not forgetten the oaths he sware unto those who beseeched him, lo, to bring forth unto the world the Creation of ROGUE; verily in its most glorious and recent form shall he bring it forth. And all the multitudes, whose numbers seem legion, who await the sallying forth of the great ROGUE shall not be forsaken, even as Shreldalff doth strive manfully and magikly to pass his final ordeals. This, forsooth, doth he pledge to them, and thus, forsooth, shall he perform according to the word he hath pledged, late though he may be, forever and ever. Hey, man!
