In the world inspired by Robert Jordan's epic "Wheel of Time," a different tale unfolds-one of family, love, and legacy. "Wheels of Kin: A Mother-Daughter Journey" takes you on an enchanting adventure through the eyes of Elara a young girl as she na...
Maksim sat in the quietude of the sanitarium's surroundings, nestled just outside the gardens. The serene atmosphere was disrupted by the approaching figures of Alanna and Lan.
"Through there," Maksim gestured, guiding Lan into the garden while he remained with Alanna.
"What did he say? Does the Daughter of the Night walk in our world?" Maksim inquired, his expression marked by a mix of curiosity and concern.
Alanna nodded, confirming the unsettling presence of a Forsaken in their midst.
"Forsaken. Dragon Reborn. I miss the farm, Alanna. I even miss your cousins," Maksim lamented, a longing for simpler times evident in his words.
"Come now. Did you expect we would fight the Last Battle against an army of kittens?" Alanna teased gently, planting a kiss on Maksim's forehead.
In the garden, Logain focused on a stones board, the intricate patterns mirroring the complexities of the world beyond the sanitarium walls.
"I would offer you a match, but... stones is a gentleman's game. Tell your master that I'm still waiting for her to keep her promise. Or you can just run me through with your blade now, save her the trouble," Logain remarked with a sardonic chuckle.
"I can do better than that," Lan replied, placing a key on the table, a subtle shift in the dynamics between them.
"I heard that you can see male weaves. What do you see when you look at Moiraine?" Lan inquired, his gaze intent on Logain.

"Madness is expecting a straight answer from the man you helped lock away," Logain retorted, demonstrating the disheveled state of his robe.
As they spoke, distant screams pierced the air, and Alanna and Maksim joined them, bearing news of a fire in the Foregate.
"There's a fire. In the Foregate," Alanna informed, and Lan, without further delay, left with them.
"The key," Logain reminded, a lingering reminder of past betrayals and the unresolved tension between them.
"You think I've forgotten what you did to Kerene and Stepin? You will get this key when they take you back to the White Tower. There are two Brown Sisters that are desperate to study a man who can channel. Go," Lan declared firmly, leaving Logain behind as they hastened toward the unfolding crisis in the Foregate.

The Foregate was a scene of chaos and destruction as Lanfear continued her rampage. The air was thick with panic as people clamored at the city gates, desperate to find refuge from the mayhem. Elara, torn between her connection to Lanfear and her empathy for the innocent, moved through the crowd, trying to help those in need.
