Here's a parody for readers of Robert Jordan's fantasy series "The Wheel of Time". For those unfamiliar with this book-series, it's a classic fantasy-quest epic in the same genre as The Lord of The Rings. The hero, a young man named Rand al'Thor, is plucked out of his peaceful rural life as a sheep-herder to do battle with the Dark One (a.k.a. "Shai'tan") and save the world. Gee, where have we heard THAT plot-line before? Actually, I love "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan --- it's a very entertaining series of fantasy novels. This parody is a synopsis of the theme of the first book in the series ("The Eye of The World"). "The Two Rivers" and "Emond's Field" are the names of Rand al'Thor's home district and village. "Lady Moiraine" is an "Aes Sedai" (pronounced "eye-sedd-eye"), a member of a sisterhood of women with cosmic powers. "Warder Lan" is Lady Moiraine's bodyguard, "bonded" to her in a magical-psychic-linkage. "Trollocs" are monstrous warriors similar to J.R.R. Tolkien's "Orcs", but bigger. "Fade" is a semi-human creature, somewhat similar to J.R.R. Tolkien's "Ring-Wraiths". "Baerlon" (pronounced "Bay-er-lawn") is a walled city north of Emond's Field. "The Dragon Reborn" is an ancient male Aes Sedai, who, according to prophecy, is destined to reincarnate in this world to defeat the Dark One in the climactic battle called "Tarmon Gai'don". Guess who "The Dragon Reborn" turns out to be?
