Me- Well I figured I love Wheel of Time so why not write a story about all the old ones.
Bob- I told her not to do it.
Me- Yes you did but you no longer advise me, Daniel does, and he thinks this is an
excellent idea.
Daniel- Totally awesome lil' chica.
Me- Ummm…thank-you?
Bob- That dude is too stupid to know the difference between a cat and a dog.
Me- No comment. So…time to get on with the story.
Back in the Day
Chapter 1. Alone Once More
Mierin looked out her window and watched the sun set.
"Lews." She called.
"Hmm?"
"Tell me that things will always be this perfect."
"Nothing stays the same, everything changes. I cannot say that things will always be this way."
She sighed "Why must you always be so gloomy my love?"
"I'm not gloomy. I merely state the facts as I see them." He answered with a grin.
"Do you have to leave so soon?"
"Yes. I must meet with the other generals and high ranking officers to decide what to do about this new threat. I will return as soon as I can."
She smiled up at him from her window seat. He was tall, dark haired with piercing blue eyes, he was well muscled, but most importantly, he was hers. Lews Therin Telamon was her faithful lover, and always would be no matter what he said about everything changing. Lews Therin would always love her that was the one certainty she had in life. She stood up from her comfortable seat and walked over to him; she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him tenderly.
"I will be here when you return. Travel well my love." She said.
"I'll miss you." He responded.
She couldn't make herself let go of him, she wanted to hold him forever, but she knew she couldn't. She smiled sadly as she released him. He smiled back gave her a quick kiss on the lips and left. He was gone and she was alone once more. She ran to the window seat and sat watching him ride away until he was no more than a black speck in the distance.
Lews Therin tried concentrating on riding but couldn't, Mierin kept invading his thoughts, as she always did when he left her. He sighed, she truly was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen, she had dark wavy hair and dark eyes that were pools a man could get lost staring into, she was petite yet strong. She was everything he had ever wanted in a woman but he wasn't sure he really loved her. On the third day of traveling he reached his destination, and there standing at the entrance was a woman so beautiful he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She had golden hair and blue eyes she was tall for a woman and yet seemed fragile. He stared at her until he realized she had noticed him gaping. He strode over to her and kissed her hand.
"My lady I do not believe we have met before, I am Lews Therin Telamon."
She smiled slightly at him and his heart skipped a beat.
"My name is Ilyena I am very pleased to meet you Lews Therin."
"The pleasure is all mine." He informed her and for once he meant it. Seeing her opened his eyes to something he should have known long ago, he didn't love Mierin and he never had. Though he had just met her he felt that Ilyena would be the woman he would one day marry. For once Mierin wasn't on his mind instead he was thinking about the lovely Ilyena.
Three months after the meeting Lews Therin returned to Mierin. He completely ignored her as she threw her arms around his neck and squealed with glee.
"I'm so glad you're back." She said.
'I'm not' he thought but said "So am I. I missed you while I was away."
Mierin giggled.
"Come let us spend as much time together as we can before all those stuffy nobles and Aessedai steal you away from me."
He forced himself to smile at her and allowed her to drag him away, but he couldn't stop thinking about Ilyena. Before he went to sleep that night he whispered a prayer that one day he and Ilyena would be married. He knew it was pointless Ilyena didn't love him she didn't even know him. All she knew was that he was a strange man who stared at her.
"Oh mama you should have seen him! He's so handsome. And he was just standing there staring at me for the longest time." Ilyena said in delight as her mother helped her get ready for bed. Her mother was a very practical woman though and she brooked no nonsense.
" Yes child he was handsome and he stared at you and now he's gone and you'll probably never see him again. So stop this giggling nonsense and get to bed."
"But mama I can't stop thinking about him!"
"Then think of him in your dreams because I won't have you wasting your time staying up past hours over a silly man that you will most likely never see again!"
"So you think that there is a chance of my seeing him again?"
Her mother sighed "Anything is possible." She answered slowly.
She shrieked happily and danced around her room. Her mother shook her head ruefully.
"To bed child!" she told her.
Ilyena crawled into bed but stayed awake hours after her mother left. She would see him again she knew she would.
Me- Okay here's the deal you review and tell me what you think. Until then I will post no more!
