Oz

My name is Oz. I am a wizard. That is all.

[Oz @microzcopic]

I did not think the day would ever come that I would ally myself with humans.

[Oz @microzcopic]

It is the summer solstice. It is also very hot. The Central wizards, along with the other youths in the manor, are arranging a celebration by the river come the night. For now, I will be sitting here. It is... very hot...

I did not think the day would ever come that I would ally myself with humans.

[Oz @microzcopic]

Today is the twins' birthday. I was loudly informed as such at the stroke of midnight and, for it, had little sleep. I am sitting far from them for lunch.

[Oz @microzcopic]

I am uninterested in celebrating my own birth. Time is as ceaseless as the ocean. But when the younger wizards are just as ceaseless in their exuberance for my living another year...

[Oz @microzcopic]

Today is another of Arthur's birthdays. Fate has foretold which year shall be his last. And though the Sage has assured me they will do everything in their power to upturn fate itself, I still...

[Oz @microzcopic]

The planet shifts ever closer to the sun. Day by day, it rises earlier. I do not like this.

[Oz @microzcopic]

It is a new year. This is meaningless to me.

[Oz @microzcopic]

Sage. Your music for these festivities bids me to "be Mary." I cannot do that. I am Oz.

[Oz @microzcopic]

Constant rainfall over several days was dampening Riquet's mood. He asked me to bring out the sun. I obliged.

[Oz @microzcopic]

In Central, the autumn mornings dawn on coolly, but it resolves by noon with the sun at its apex. It is an enjoyable season. I took the Central wizards on a trek at their insistence. They have gone ahead beyond my pace...

[Oz @microzcopic]

Do I "remember the twenty-first night of September"...? I have lived long enough for my days to blur. I cannot remember such a specific date, Sage. Regardless of the year, it must have been cold. The Northern Country has no mild autumns.

[Oz @microzcopic]

Riquet asked me if the season is called "fall" because the leaves "fall" down. I could not answer him...

[Oz @microzcopic]

As a reprieve from the heat, I have taken the younger wizards to a Western beach. But I will abstain from the water...

[Oz @microzcopic]

In the Western Country, it is not unusual to accompany an afternoon meal with an alcoholic drink. And during the worst of summer, fruity alcoholic drinks with ice are not uncommon. I think I prefer wine, as is...

[Oz @microzcopic]

Grocery shopping in bulk today was not a wise decision.

[Oz @microzcopic]

The Western Country's waters flow bluer than the North's. Winter's gloom tinges the ocean lapping at the Northern coast with gray. This vibrancy is not what I am used to, but it has its merits.

[Oz @microzcopic]

I have no attachment to the day of my birth. Time is inexorable and the many days I have lived through are indistinguishable from each other. The Central wizards have difficulty understanding this and cooked me "special birthday food." I will gladly eat it.

[Oz @microzcopic]

I abstain from much interaction with others on the first of April, as it displeases me to discern lies from the truth. I sat to be in silence but fell asleep. It is a new day now. And lies have their just consequences.

[Oz @microzcopic]

@cyber4wave ...At the very least, I do not think it is an accurate observation. But I would not know how to describe myself to begin with...

[Oz @microzcopic]

Of all the words ever used to describe me, this has never been one of them.
