	Well damn them to Hel.  Who are these Hendrakes?  Everyone says 
to not mess with the Hendrakes;  too late.  OK, I wouldn't go attack them 
anyway, that's just not right.  But I can't cower in Amber in fear of 
Hendrakes either, like everyone seems to suggest.  I will go where I 
please.  How important could Bartholomew's grandfather be to them?  He's 
just a senile old man.  Strange too.  How was I supposed to know he could 
change into a plant.  I though it was just a trick, or magic or 
something.  He certainly wasn't causing very much trouble like 
Bartholomew though he would.  Look for smoke.  Ha!  Bartholomew caused 
more problems than his grandfather.  And I've caused more than that 
myself.  Ah...at least I hope the lad had a good time, though he didn't 
seem to appreciate the dancers much.  Perhaps he is too young.  When he 
gets his beard, he'll be fine.
	...If it weren't for the Hendrakes, Id like to visit Rimmersgard 
without a second thought, since it's been a while since I've been back.  
I wonder what tales they tell of me now.  Son of a giant, undoubtedly;  I 
could never convince them oterwise while I lived there.  Demon spawn or 
Thor's son, most likely.  Anyone who fought with me has sworn one or the 
other must be true, depending on whether they were for or against me.  
Now that I've disappeared a couple times, they must be suspicious that 
I'm in league with dark foces, like they were when Kvalnir and my armor 
appeared out of nowhere.  It's amusing to know the truth is so...magical 
and yet so mundane as well.
	What would Hendrakes be doing in Rimmersgard anyway?  If they're 
there, I'll just have to chase them out.  It's my shadow in a way.
