Gideon - 10 months

 M(om): Gideon. What are you getting into now?

G(ideon): What? You mean I shouldn't eat this dirt? But I can reach it? Doesn't that mean I can have it?

M: Even though you think that is true, it is not really the case. We can't really take our eyes off of you now because you are always into something.
G: There is so much to explore in the world, Mom.

M: I know. What else are you up too?

G: Well, I love to stand and I am starting to cruise around the window sills. It is fun to look outside and see everything that is going on. I am also getting really fast at crawling. I like to look at books and play with toys that make noise. I am starting to drive cars around too and that is really fun.

M: It is fun to see you figuring things about this world. Any new foods?

G: I love to eat and try new things. I really like yogurt, peaches, pears and bread. And cheese is pretty good, too. And blueberries are very yummy, but I need to test them all to make sure they are not too squishy.
M: You do love to eat and that is so nice. How about sleep?

G: I like to sleep at night. Sometime I have a hard time taking a nap, but then I get really tired later in the day. I just don't like to miss out on the action. I like to be by people.

M: And we like to have you around, Gideon.

There are legends and myths of what happened thousands of years ago. And a dark, evil force is slowly threatening the peace this world has known for the last thousand years.

His gift was to be able to learn languages with an astounding speed. Yet, he was dismissed from the hall and only returned when his mother begged him too on her death bed. Hyam soon discovers he has powers beyond the mastery of language and understand the the fate and future of this world rests in his hands. Along the way, he teams up with Trace, an older magician who leaves his post as Master of a Long Hall to assist Hyam. He also frees a woman named Joelle and their friendship ...
