"There was a terrible misunderstanding. We were both newly arrived; I had only just begun walking my new path. Dark magic clung to me, ever ready for me to access and use it again. I was told, incorrectly, that she wished to sever me from my magical source, to neutralize any danger I represented as a Dark Lord similar to the one she pledged her life to fight. When we met, there was something of a stand off, I fear, and our magical forces collided, and it was not- it did not go well for me. I lost consciousness, overwhelmed, and my friends, my wife, nearly went after her. But she was allowed to aid me, and she did, and when I was better, we began talking more, and... Well. Truly, if it weren't for Moiraine, I doubt very much I'd be the person I am today."
