I like mysticism and that is one of the explanations why I decided to be a warder. When I was a child I lived in Shienar with my relatives. This was the time some years after the fall of the Seven Towers. Shienar had before this been protected from the Trollocs and Halfmen by Malkier. But since some years back they have been forced to fight to survive. Shienar had become one of the borderlands. My father was land lord and a great fighter; he become one of the sword masters when he was 17 years old. He started to teach me how to fight with the sword and other weapons very early in my life. And soon I become better and better. One year there had been far more Trolloc attacks then any other year. So the king and high lords decided it was time to ride out and cut down the Trolloc tribe a little bit. So over 10000 Shienaran soldiers left Fal Dara in the beginning of the summer. And on the fifth day one of the scouts reported that he had found a great amount of dead humans behind the next hill. That was a clear sign that a great army of Trollocs was somewhere in closest area.
The next day there was great battle... Blood was flowing on the both sides. The battle last for 5 days, then all the Trollocs was dead. And only 300 humans was still in life. When they returned to Fal Dara, me and my mother were told that my father was dead...
After this I decided to always fight against Shayol Ghul’s monsters. And the best way to do this was to be a warder. When I was 16 I traveled to Tar Valon to be trained by the legendary warders. I had some skills but they was nothing compared with the warders.
After 1 year of hard training, I got a letter from Fal Dara. It said that my mother had been killed by a Grey Man. This just made my hate for the Dark One even greater. Sometimes I even wished I could channel, and with this power let the Half men and Trollocs burn. And the day I get bonded I wish from the bottom of my heart that the Aes Sedai that bound me, will help me to take revenge on the Shadowspawn for my dead parents.
The only thing that stopped me from trying to learn channel, maybe I might have succeeded, was what happened to Logain. The false Dragon. And my only hope is that one day Saidin will be freed from the taint. So men and women can again channel together. Only together could they fight the Dark One. I even tried to find someone who could teach me to channel The True Power, but I didn’t find anyone, and that was probably the best that could happen. Channeling of the true power has its price.
