reading my way thru the Eye of the World by Robert Jordan and it’s my personal thought but I think nynaeve and moiraine should settle their disputes in bed 👍

[spacetimeaccordionfolder]

So I finished The Eye of The World (Wheel of Time #1). (spoilers in art form below)

and Good News I managed to keep my mind off of Stormlight Archive during a very busy week or two where I had to Not Think about the Big Interests but bad news I may need to find The Great Hunt. More art will likely occur. I have several more ideas for sketches (mostly vine references) and one Big Drawing idea.

sorry I gave Rand Luke skywalker hair it will probably happen again

Guys. Reading these early chapters of The Eye of the World is painful this time. "Oh, Rand, you'll follow in your father's footsteps some day and be on the village council!" No he won't! He'll leave tomorrow on the path to Tarmon Gaidon! He'll never return home! And his home will be irrevocably changed by globalism! (weeping ensues)

"Aren't you forgetting the Trollocs?" Perrin said.

Mat shook his head scornfully. "Lan said they wouldn't come in here, remember? You need to listen to what people say."

"I remember," Perrin said. "And I do listen. This city — Aridhol? — was an ally of Manetheren. See? I listen."

"Aridhol must have been the greatest city in the Trolloc Wars," Rand said, "for the Trollocs to still be afraid of it. They weren't afraid to come into the Two Rivers, and Moiraine said Manetheren was — how did she put it? — a thorn to the Dark One's foot."

Perrin raised his hands. "Don't mention the Shepherd of the Night. Please?"

"What do you say?" Mat laughed. "Let's go."

"We should ask Moiraine," Perrin said, and Mat threw up his hands.

"Ask Moiraine? You think she'll let us out of her sight? And what about Nynaeve? Blood and ashes, Perrin, why not ask Mistress Luhhan while you're about it?"

Perrin nodded reluctant agreement, and Mat turned to Rand with a grin. "What about you? A real city? With palaces!" He gave a sly laugh. "And no Whitecloaks to stare at us."

Rand gave him a dirty look, but he hesitated only a minute. Those palaces were like a gleeman's tale. "All right."

Stepping softly so as not to be heard in the front room, they left by the alley, following it away from the front of the building to a street on the other side. They walked quickly, and when they were a block away from the white stone building Mat suddenly broke into a capering dance.

"Free." He laughed. "Free!" He slowed until he was turning a circle, staring at everything and still laughing. The afternoon shadows stretched long and jagged, and the sinking sun made the ruined city golden. "Did you ever even dream of a place like this? Did you?"

Perrin laughed, too, but Rand shrugged uncomfortably. This was nothing like the city in his first dream, but just the same... "If we're going to see anything," he said, "we had better get on with it. There isn't much daylight left."

In wars, boy, fools kill other fools for foolish causes. That’s enough for anyone to know.
