The End

December 12, 2007

Approximately 7 years ago i started a series that captivated me from page one. Many of you already know this series to be Terry Goodkind’s Sword Of Truth. (Its where I got the alias The Seeker from.)
Now, ten books later the final book in the series is out…. I cant wait to get my hands on it…… yet I find that i dread reading it….
7 years, many discussions (some heated), heart rending moments, bitter disappointments and great memories all coming to an end in a mere 300+ pages. It seems almost Surreal…….
I know in my heart of hearts that no matter what he writes … there is no way that he can end this series satisfactorily. All of these characters, especially Richard and Kahlan have become too intertwined in my own life….
If I’m honest with myself… I sort of hope (and fear) having such a relationship… I perfect melding of mind, body, heart and soul, unmatched by anything or anyone… Sigh *sniff*
I am really gonna miss those characters… Not to mention Zedd… who disappointingly has taking a back seat in these last books… Verna…….. <tear> Cara… life without Cara….. <sigh>

Yes, there is a small part of me that does not wish to read this novel, simple because it will mean it has all come to an end.
But read it I must.

And so it came to past that in the year of our Lord, 2007, Two series that I love greatly have ended :S

Farewell Stargate SG1 (in spite of the insipid piece of Sh*t writing they did for the last episode….. whooooossssaaaaaaahhhhh)

and Most painful of all;
Farewell Richard Rahl, Seeker of truth, Supreme ruler of Dahara, First Wizard, War Wizard and Kahlan Amnell, Mother Confessor, Leader of Midlands Council, Leader of the Ebanesian Armed Forces.

Unworthy

As many of you know I call my self the Seeker based of a series called the seeker of truth. Last night I was reading the first of the last three books in the series and I found that I was disappointed. Not in the Book but with myself. From I have started the Series I have admired that Character greatly…
I often saw a little of myself in him in book one. Throughout the series, as he matured, he became a true Hero almost epitomizing everything I wish to become.
I did not realize how true that last statement was until last night…. there were a few situations he found himself in that I have seen mirrored in my life and where as he made the right decision without flinching… I know I would.. (and have)… make the wrong decision. It is somewhat disheartening… To wish to be like Perfection.. I know its not attainable really.. he is , after all, a fictional character… yet.. I know I can try to Do more

And so I find my self labeling myself “The Seeker” knowing full well that I am not worthy of the title.
