Even Heroes Die

This will be a short post. I may do a more in depth, and more thought out blog in a few days. I just wanted to take a moment to remember one of my heroes.

This author made me fall in love with fantasy after not having read a fantasy novel in 9 years.

This writer made me fall in love with words, and made we want to write my own stories.

This man left behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.

On this day of September in 2007 James Olive Rigney, Jr., otherwise known as Robert Jordan, passed away.

Rest in peace, Mr. Jordan.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
