"I had left Shienar, I had learned what I could and besides Shalimar had been hinting that she was leaving soon too. So I threw himself to the open road. I decided to go south to Cairhien, I planned to look for work as a bodygaurd, but you know what they say about plans. Ha! who was i kidding? I'm baerly good enough with a blade to protect myself. Anyway after a month of rejections I was broke, living on the street, like so many others in Cairhien. It's funny you know, they're so proude of themselves there, they can't even see how far they have fallen. I ended up befriending a young man he couldn't have been, oh more than fourteen. I figued if I could help the boy, why not? So I shared what I had with him and we got by. One day, after a job as a day laborer I was heading back to deralicted niegborhood we were living in. I smelt the smoke be fore i got anywhere near the fires. It seems my friend had kept a secreat, he was a chaneller. Appearently that day it had proven too much for him, he went mad. He had lit many of the near by hovels on fire, and killed some people. I ran up and started to talk to him, when he saw me he regained control and fell down crying over what he and done. I picked him up and told him it wasn't his fault, that it'd be all right. He begged me to help him, I said I would. Thats when i felt the burning, he had started loosing it again, he was burning us. At the same time he was still sobbing and begging for help. There was nothing i could do, so i swallowed the pain and looked him in the eye. I don't know what I said, It doesn't matter, It calmed him, he stopped burning us. He just wouldn't stop crying, I looked him in the eye and swore to the creator himself that I would help him! He smiled, he believed me. I could tell he didn't even feal it when i slipped the blade into his heart. He just closed his eyes and went limp, he looked so at peace......."Jain shudders, and a few tears slip out of his eyes."An Aes Sedai found me, burnt, dying. I never knew her name, but she healed me and kept me somewhere safe for the months it took me to recover. When i was finaly well she gave me some money and her horse, Rapier. That was just a few short weeks before we meet in Aringill. I thought I had put it behind me........."Jain gives himself a shack and turns towards the inn."I hope your wrong about Logain, Sirsei, I know I was wrong about that boy. No one deserves to die for something so beyond thier control"With out waiting for a reaction Jain rushes into the crowd, headed back to the Inn.</blockquote>
