"We'll talk about that later." Jagg replied flatly.
"now, when I was a young lad, I decided to join the war. I was young and without much common sense to comprehend the dangers of combat. after several years of strange, out of the mind misadventures, I believe that if I knew that all of what i am to tell you i would have fainted at the stand.

It's Christmas once again and here we are to celebrate. In the story of the Nativity, three magi from the known corners of the world, Asia, Europe, and Africa came to give gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, worthy of a king, to a newborn child, baby Jesus. He didn't deserve these presents. he was gust there and was given gifts. Christmas is like that also. It doesn't matter whether or not some one deserves presents this year, it's about sharing and caring with your friends and family and forgetting grudges. celebrate this holiday with a smile for every one no matter what the said or did earlier this year, just be the best person you can this season. Merry Christmas blogsters every where.(Bonus points if you notice a five preview characters in the tree.)

"You were in the Dessert Wars?" To'mec said astonished.
"well seeing that your now know my secret I may as well tell my story."
"that must mean you're..." Moiraine said.
"86 years old." Jagg finished. "and still jumpin'."
"that means you survived three plagues." To'mec added.

When they got inside the house, Jagg went over to a small pile of things after he took off his packs and dug out a small oil lamp and lit it with a small dancing flame that shed light on the interior of the house.
"I'm sorry," Jagg said. "but this small lamp is all I have to light the house."
"I doesn't matter Jagg." Moiraine assured him, sitting down. "just to guests is an honor enough."
"I myself," To'mec began. "truly don't feel like eating so early in the afternoon. I'm just so egar to here the story of your life."
"Well, fighting in the Dessert Wars isn't what I though it was."

"These flowers are so beautiful." Moiraine said, gently tilting a rose-like flower with her hand.
"Yeah," To'mec agreed. "but you'd probably get sick if you touch them without a prescription."
"Eek!"Moiraine piped, drawing her hand away from the petals of the flower.
Jagg gave a goodhearted chuckle, " I used to do that to my apprentices all the time."
"You have an apprentice?" To'mec asked.
"Well not at the moment." Jagg replied. "most of them only wanted to lean about plants and moved on to universities. only one of them ever became a healer."

Hey there blogsters one and all! We come upon that time of year that borders Autumn and Winter which we celebrate Turkey Day to see friends and family. Not only do we celebrate by gorging ourselves on domesticated turkey, but we constantly fight over the legs of this roasted beast. ;) (any complaints on my hedgehog, YOU try and find a "hedgehog" brick in your "LEGO" collection.)

"It sounds like you have quite a story to tell, Jagg." Moiraine commented, eager to here an epic of their new friends life.
"Not until we reach my house, friend." Jagg replied. "around here, stories are to be told under a roof and only under a roof."
So they continued walking for a little more than half an hour without talking until the came to the other side of a hill. what To'mec and Moiraine saw on the other side was a small house, made of giant leaves like the houses of the jungle tribe mortans. out side there was a small garden box with several herbs next to a potted plant and a small shrub withe gray flowers and yellow fruit that gave off a tropical smell.
