Re: Block the Fist!
Think about the legend of the tlhIngan lovers during Kahlass the
Unforgettable's battles with Molar, the female died but came to her lover as
a spirit. Touching and very inspiring but sadly I forget the details to it
though it is a very poignant story.
Speaking as a tlhIngan Hol novice, is there anyone willing to walk me
through translating a short ballad/story along similar lines?
