nd suddenly, I found myself in a place of
bright light, where I could see nothing, not even the
ground on which I trod. I feared that perhaps I had
blasphemed, but if I were to be punished, it had not come
yet. As the light subsided, I noticed a small hut far in
the distance. I walked slowly towards it, afraid that
this was another ploy by the Dark Mages to get rid of me.
I opened the door slowly, and before me stood... before
me stood...Pardon an old man, I still get emotional when I think of that day, that wondrous, glorious day.
efore me stood a figure that I cannot
describe. At the time, his appearance was quite obvious
to me, and I could have described him perfectly then, but
the moment I left I could not remember even what he wore.
It was a figure that I had never seen, yet never been
without. I recognized the figure, yet could not place it.
And like a blow to the head, suddenly the world opened up
before me. I suddenly had insight that I had never known
possible, I understood even the smallest things, and had
the feeling that I was instantly aware of millions of
things I had no idea existed. And in that short, swift,
moment of revelation, I realized that the figure standing
before me was Galan.
