Description

Sketch illustration to fanstory on the Wheel Of Time fandom. Made as gift for my friend Olga

As he carried the book back into the first room, he saw in his minds eye the image of a young boy sneaking into the family library late at night. The boy held his free hand up to his candle to keep the light from falling where it shouldn't, and he walked slowly to keep his bare feet from alerting the floorboards. The boy searched the bookshelves, some over twice his young height, until he found a shabby, dog-eared copy of the very book Logain now carried under his arm. He smiled fondly at the memory. It was a better time. A happier time.

Sitting and tracing the familiar words, Logains mind wandered to a rumor he had overheard a few days ago. Supposedly, the Dragon Reborn had called for an amnesty for all men who could channel. Logain had also heard tell of a school established by the Lord Dragon for men who could channel somewhere in Andor. Or was it in Cairhien? Some versions of the tale claimed that the Lord Dragon had even found a former false dragon to serve as headmaster of this new academy. That last part at least had to be an exaggeration; would the Lord Dragon really trust anyone who had once tried to claim the title that was his by right? And even if he was fool enough to trust one, what self-respecting false dragon would simply bow his head and follow the Dragon Reborn without question?

...I would.

Logain sighed and ruefully shook his head. If only that amnesty had come two years sooner.
