Hi, Forgive me if I get things wrong, I'm not sure if Polgara is 3,000 or 7,000 nor am I sure how old Belgarath is. It suppose to take place after the Mallorean series. I'll just say that Pol is 3,000 and the old wolf is 7,000. I you want to correct me feel free to do so.
I do not own David Edding's Characters
Never in her 3,000 years of her existence did Polgara ever consider that half way across the vast ocean from the Isle of the Wind there would be another world. She was quite angry with herself that she didn't know about it until a few months ago and was livid at the fact that her father knew about it for thousands of years. Polgara was devastated to know also that a lot of merchants and sailors knew about it and did trade with people there. Silk for the gods' sake new about the blasted place and have been there numerous times during the years she spent in Sedaria raising her nephew Garion.
It was a year after her twins were born with she found a long lost piece of one the prophecies did she found out the place. Polgara felt a smile playing on her lips as she thought about her children. Her girls are very much like how herself and her sister, Beldaran was. Thinking about her family sent pains of lost with in her, she wanted to be at home with them but instead she was here on a blasted ship heading to a place she never heard before. The injustice of it all!
The prophecy told them that the child of the dark would rise from that new world and would challenge Ul, the father of the gods, and his sons, if the child of the light doesn't come to stop it then the dark child would succeed and become a god himself using the orb of Aldur and will destroy both worlds. The prophecy was very vague as to find the child of dark and the child of light. All it did say was the Child of light would consist of four people, if one was missing than the child of light would fail. The Thief, The Healer, The Knight, and The Prophet were all the prophecy said and wouldn't yield any clue as to how to find them nor where to go after finding them. The Prophet, Polgara assumed would have the information they needed.
Belgarath and Silk were the only two who could come with her. Gerion Had an island to run, Barak wanted to stay in Cherek to tend to his family and continue to mend things with his wife, and Durnik had to stay home with their little girls and to prepare for the winter. Which would be happening by now, Polgara thought Bitterly, she hated the climate change as they got nearer to their destination she want to be in a place where she can successfully predict the weather, like her own home land.
"Land Ho!" the look out cried and Polgara rising from her quarters were she was staying and going out to the bow. A green strip could be seen on the horizon. After weeks of sailing, they have Arrived.
