The Stag and Lion - a photo on Flickriver

The Stag and Lion

            The Stag and Lion common room was wide and long, with colorful pictures of ornate buildings on the walls. A hearth blazed on each wall, and scores of tables filled the floor, with almost every chair, bench, or stool taken.

Every man among the crowd of patrons with pipes in their teeth and mugs in their fists leaned forward with his attention on one thing: Thom with his many-colored cloak, standing atop a table in the middle of the room. 

"The Great Hunt of the Horn rides forth," Thom proclaimed. "Rides to seek the Horn of Valere that will summon the heroes of the Ages back from the grave to battle for the Light. . . .”

“A shepherd with a heron-mark sword,” said a low, woman’s voice. “That’s almost enough to make me believe anything.”

Startled, Rand jumped to his feet. It was a young woman with crop-hair dressed in a boy’s coat and breeches.

“You are Rand, aren’t you?” she went on. “My name is Min. Moiraine says I see pieces of the Pattern.” Min gave a little laugh and shook her head. “Sounds too grand, to me. I just see things when I look at people, and sometimes I know what they mean. She wanted me to look at you. All of you.”

Rand shivered. “And what did you see for me?”

Her grin stopped just short of laughter. “For you, a beggar’s staff, you pouring water on sand, a bloody hand and a white-hot iron, black rock wet with blood—”

“All right,” he broke in. “You don’t have to list it all.”

“I don’t know what any of it means, except for one thing. You and I will meet again.” She gave him a quizzical look.

He wondered if she was crazy, grinning like that. “I have to go,” he said, edging around her.

“Go, then. But you can’t escape from me.”
