::wearing his uniform, he solemly approached the boards. A last, slow glance around the Arena, the Annex, and a slow walk through the Battlefield and Outback, and he was there, in front of the wall of history. Full of memories, he smiled to think how many layers of notes on the boards he could say he was a part of, and then a small frown crawled across his face at those that he would miss. With a golden dragon pin, he tacked up the
message he had written, smoothed it out once with his hand, carefully removed the folded fabric from his satchel, and tacked it up also::
Patrons of the Duels,
I've spent several of the best years I've ever spent within the halls of the duels. You have been family to one that had none left. I owe you more than I could ever give, and yet I would still ask more of you. I ask that my banner, the white background embroidered with a golden dragon with red-tipped claws, be hung in one of the dueling rooms so that I may have a focal point to return to, regardless of how far I may be from this place.
The best to all of you,
-Rand al'Tan
-Farmer
::running a hand through his short-cropped rusty hair, he sighed softly and turned to leave::

::tears fall unbidden from her eyes as she writes::
Rand~
In the waves of friends that come and go, you have always been the rock. Never moving...until now.
You have been a great friend to me, such that I can never repay you for such kindness and love. I pray that the gods light your path, and I pray that you find it in your heart to return someday to be my rock again.

Jola stopped at the posts, seeing Rand's banner, and just looked for awhile. She didn't need to read the note to know what it said. Her mind was caught up lately in premonitions of her own death, in the terror of being stalked, the death of her husband. But all were pushed aside for a brief time to make way for the sadness she felt at one of her very closest friends leaving. She stepped over and in a strange move, pressed her lips to Rand's banner,
leaving a faint mark of her lipstick in a kiss. "You are loved, Rand," she whispered before turning and losing herself in RhyDin.
