A Change of Heart

[Solaron]

My life has been filled with treasures, both tangible and ephemeral. Loves I have had; Katrana, Tylin, Miressa. Power was mine when I wielded Similus, weapon of the Huntsman for my lady Katrana. I have known times of war, times of peace and the friendship of heroes and villains alike.

As the leader of the Mafia, I have continued this. I am surrounded by friends, more wealth than you can imagine and the power over life and death... yet I am unsatisfied.

Who, really, has benefit from my actions? The few times I have received gratitude from those weaker or more innocent than I were those times I truly tried to aid the realm. The bloodier my hands became, the more I lost that part of myself. No more. I have commited unspeakable acts of betrayal, and my love, life, friends, power and money can not make the scales tip in my favor.

No more will I look into the sightless eyes of a peasant who refused to pay me. No more will I be haunted by the sins of my past. No more will I allow this emptiness within me to grow.

I have found the Truth and the Light. It is within me. I have scourged my soul until all that is left is sorrow for the sins of my youth and vengeance for those unable to defend themselves.

The Inquisition is coming.

Sounds like you have been reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. :)

I'm currently reading the fourth book and I find the series excellent so far. Let's hope Robert Jordan pulls thru his treatment for Amyloidosis.

The Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloidosis) on Amyloidosis.

His blog (http://www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/) is here if you wish to read more about it.

This post "A FINAL CHECKIN BEFORE MAYO" (http://www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/?p=39) on March 31st is where he starts to detail what Amyloidosis is and what the treatment options are.

I've read the Robert Jordan series more times than I can count. My mom (Faille) got me the first 3 books the same year I found TFC and I was so hooked that I read the first book in 1 day. I've been hooked ever since!

I've also been on a big George R.R. Martin kick recently, but his books are a much darker 'high-fantasy' than RJ's.

I'm hoping he pulls through too! ::up::

the wheel of time series is great. started readin the first one 7-8 years ago,still pick the odd one up to read now and then, as to him finishing the series, i dont think he will at the rate hes going. he could have made a good end to it withink the first 4-6 books i think but it just has kept dragging on, altough i do really appreciate the depth that jordan is going into with all the subplots that effect one another to make the whole story move ahead.

He's only got 2 books left, he says. We'll see how long that lasts. :p With the last book and Rand losing a hand and all that, I think we're getting pretty close.
