Dang it, Lewis!

But if you put a demon in recession by force, you can exorcise it later, right?

Whyever for?

Grab a mirror and write nalsa...

Oh you figured that out. :P

Yeah...
*Is a complete idiot*

In your defense, Salone told us that way back when he introduced him.

That, and haven't touched that series in years...and I freely admit that I lack several memories of my childhood. *Shrugs*

Never read it, myself.

I prefer Tolkien myself

I've never cared for child protagonists, even in my own childhood.

Quite honestly, I think "characters you can relate to" are overrated as a rule.

I'll admit my mind tends to make such characters automatically in their 20's - a 14-year-old killing man-sized rats in a barbarian rage is a bit ridiculous.

Ah, the old heroic pest exterminator...

Haha...yeah
Come to think of it, many of the things I read/played/saw that involved more than 1 world started as "pest control" plots leading to a "Wardrobe transition" to the other world...
...and yet there is no trope for that...

I was thinking more of how most Dungeons and Dragons type games have you spend your first character level killing rats in the cellar of the tavern. Glorious business.

Where did the ash come from...?
Also, sorry for poofing...
