Taniith’s Relto

I know, I haven’t written anything for a while. My apologies, I have just been lazy. I’ll try to get something down about the three cities I’ve stayed in since getting off that train in Salt Lake.

As for now, I just had my first of two (was three, but I fixed that) coach trips on Amtrak, arriving in Spokane. Mysterium begins tomorrow morning, and I’m super psyched. On my second trip to Powells in Portland, I happened upon something completely by accident. Without intending to, I was in the exact right section, glanced at the shelf behind me without expecting to see anything interesting, and came face-to-face with a near mint, *hardcover* copy of Myst: the Book of Atrus! For those who don’t know, there have been three Myst books published, discussing the backstory of the Myst universe (or, Multiverse as it were). I own all three in paperback, but it is incredibly rare to find even a tattered copy in hardcover (we fans would never give ours up), so to find one in great condition for such a cheap ‘used book store’ price was unbelievable. I had to hold back the urge to start making loud noises of happiness in the store, as I don’t think that would have gone over well.

I think this find and purchase bodes well for this Mysterium!
