The Medieval sages of Tristan McKlue.

Tristan McKlue: This is how it starts, I hope you like this part!

When I was young, I had the power to dream, that I could do anything that no one had

ever seen. I knew the land, the air, the waters, held no fear for me. I never asked how it

was sent, they were my friends. I played with nature and never asked what it all meant.

For I had insight, hope, fear, joy, longing…. The ever-present wanting. I was alone there

most of the time, keeping people back behind the line. Time past, I grew, became aware,

saw the power of other people so happy without despair. I learned, I read, listened to the

wisdom the ages had to spare. Inspired, I live again, giving my best in hopes that the

world around me can past the test. Alone I must, but not forever, for such a journey is

better when your together with the right woman…so ever!

Tristan McKlue: (This is part two) Greetings dear reader or whomever reads my log

book. I leave for the quest, let no dragon or peril slow me to rest. I shall take a fair

maiden who will accompany me through tranquility, and together we will seek a land to

our prosperity.

The stranger rode into town, people there called it Vansella, an oasis surrounded by

rugged mountain ranges, and dense forest. Not many travelers come this way, any that do

are soon on their way….again. The outsider sparked new curiosity, every human eye

seem to be upon him, I should know, they were looking at me, Tristan, the explorer and

apparent oddity. I informed the local gentry that I was of good standing, and our

conversation was amiable. I expressed I needed a strong young woman as a wife and

partner in my exploration of wonder. The journey will be an adventure, in our memories

and hearts, and ring in our mind years later like thunder. Who would join me? A former

knight of the War of Druids, a trader of skins and common goods, a traveler searching for

a proper home after the quest is done.
