[The audible sound of teeth chattering fills the feed, followed swiftly by the sharp intake of breath.]

I do not take kindly to being toyed with.

[A man's voice, barely a hiss, pierces the silence.]

[He coughs, wet and sickly, barely able to draw breath between each spasm.]

[Finally, it abates.]There are those who would dare challenge me, but

Master of Past and Present, is it? How 'bout the future?

[voice]

[i_archmagus]

I will be.

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears]

So, are you a villain, then? Those always have a bit more of a flair for the dramatic.

[ voice ]

[i_archmagus]

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears]

[i_archmagus]

I doubt that you've met all of them.

[waitedforyears]

I've met enough for my taste.

[i_archmagus]

I've said who I am. Raistlin Majere.

[He starts coughing, his lungs rattling, his breaths coming in deep, gouging heaves for air.]

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, yeah, and the Master of Past and Present and soon also Future. But that doesn't tell me much, does it.

[ voice ]

[i_archmagus]

That's all you'll need to know.

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears]

So how does one go about becoming Master of the Past an' Present, then?

[ voice ]

[i_archmagus]

A complex story, and one that I won't be sharing with you.
