A Twist of Fate
Prologue-Awakening
Karaethon Gaidin suddenly awoke in a stupor of thought. Strange as it seemed, he had been dreaming recently, but not normal dreams. His worse dread was about to come true. The Dragon was soon to be reborn.
Even though he had given the prophecy of the rebirth all those millennia ago, Karae still didn't like the fact that it was happening now. He had never asked for immortality, but his deeds had earned him a greater from of it than what the heroes of the Wheel had received. One that was even better than that of the other thirteen Forsaken.
Laughing to himself silently, the defending servant though back to those ancient times of the Great War. What that fools had been calling the War of Power, or the War of Shadow, ever since Artur Hawkwing. Why did he have to be reawakened for such a simple and small thing?
Deciding to just ignore his dreams, Karae attempted to fall back into his deep slumber. This, however, only lasted until another dream had come and gone. This one, though, was of his last deeds upon this land. When he had led the son of Hawkwing across the Aryth Ocean, and helped them settle those lands. In the dreams, they went against the promise and returned to their homeland of olden times. Even the Daughter of the Nine Moons was here. Of course, that would mean that time was short and the Dragon Reborn would need to find his two friends and then go to Shayol Ghul, where he would give his life in a futile effort to defeat Shai'tan. To defeat a myth that never existed.
Well, with any luck, he won't be killed like Lews Therin, driven mad by insanity and led to think that the War of Power had actually occurred. The Creator had made Sai'din tainted, so that the men would have a reason to be feared. Of course, the Forsken were those that realized this and sought protection from the Creator, if at a price. Luckily, I hadn't been given my shelter for a price; I didn't receive it from the Creator even. Being a male born with Sai'dar and Sai'din had its benefits…
