You only get one shot at a second chance.
As death sought his last breath, the mind of the historian and storykeeper Farad Ibn Istel was placed in one of the very rare crystals of memory.
Now, a long time later, he awakens, tasked with saving the life of a young boy. A thing that no one else can do. Once accomplished he is stuck there, his ancient and disciplined mind mixed with that of a young child, the rambunctious and lazy boy known as Anders Brolly.
To give the innocent child the life he deserves, old Farad will have to change. Adapt and find a new path through the world. That of magic and warcraft.
It may not be possible for an old hermit to pull off.

One that knows him all too well...
