Chapter 13

As time passed Ailon spent less time in study, and more time in the fields.
Sitting with his journal in his lap, watching the sky at night.
In the day, he would work tending his garden, or helping the local farmers.
His family of course always came first, and by now it had grown indeed.
Alion was the first born, but now he had five brothers and three sisters.
:::The following is from Ailon's teenage journal:::
...and the beauty of it all! The trees the flowers, the wonder of the natural order.
How life begins, this is the most interesting subject. How a plant is born, how
a person comes into being. I must get back to study, I must understand this most
wonderful and complex process.
