A Kai's healing skill lies in being able to mend what is broken. Look at the paragraphs below, and use your skills to mend the fractured recollections of Lone Wolf.
PM the inconsistencies with known fact to me. Note that spelling errors, and inconsistencies with itself are merely errors of the author, not deliberate items in themselves!
I will not say how many errors there are - you need to catch as many as you can, and more importantly correctly repair them to gain points.
Healed text:
"Legends would have it that the boy's name was originally Lander, and he was accepted as all Kai were at the tender age of seven to the Kai monastery. Here he learned the Disciplines of the Kai through lessons from existing Kai Masters. When the monastery was destroyed, and all the other Kai killed, the young man changed his name from Silent Wolf to Lone Wolf, and vowed to avenge the death of his kin by warning King Ulnar of the dangers that Sommerlund faced.
The boy, at the tender age of fifteen*, was able to negotiate a path through his invaded country to Holmgard, where he warned the king of the danger of the Kai's death. Upon the way, he met a young apprentice* of the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star called Banedon, who was being set upon by Giaks in the ruins of Raumas*. Lone Wolf saved the mage by warning the mage of a threatening Giak or killing it himself. Banedon gave Lone Wolf a Crystal Start Pendant as a sign of kinship. The pair separated on their various missions.
When Lone Wolf made it to the capital, the King gave him the task of travelling to Durenor by sea in order to retrieve a weapon the Durenese possessed - the Sommerswerd, the 'Sword of the Sun' forged by the Nuoma / Kai himself*. Sommerlund could only last fourty days exactly against the army of Zagarna.
Sadly, on the way Lone Wolf was set upon by assassins upon the way. One such man, Parsion, possessed the symbol of the serpent on his right* wrist to show that he was a member of Vonotar's private assassin's*.
Lone Wolf escaped, and met up with a Sommlending envoy Rhygar at Port Bax. The pair went to the capital, Hammerdal, with Rhygar's men, and fell foul of a group of Helghast. Rhygar gave his life to allow Lone Wolf to continue, and Lone Wolf was given the weapon while seeking aid of the king there.
A fleet or warships were dispatched on the thirty-third day of the siege to aid Sommerlund, but encountered a fleet of Death Hulks. Luckily, the retreat of Vonotar sank them. [Deleted sentence - Lone Wolf was on the ships]. Lone Wolf destroyed Zagarna from a tower in the capital, slaying him with a powerful ray from the Sommerswerd.
It was the best day ever or at least for a little though killing all the Darklords and facing down Naar must be slightly higher."
*The MC has Lone Wolf aged fifteen, but the Legends have him at fourteen, so I decided to leave this contentious one alone. Banedon is actually described as a 'journeyman' later in the first meeting, but an apprentice first. So while I believe he is only fully a journeyman in book 5, I let this one go. Some poeple decided Raumas was a temple to Ishir - but beign a temple of the Herbalish, I decided this wasn't strictly true. The new book 2 has Kai forging the blade, the old books don't say and the newsletters credit the Nuoma. Note that the old books also have the mistake of the serpent tattoo said as being on the left, even though on the picture it was the right wrist. Therefore, even though the new book corrects it, I let this one slide either way. I don't think anyone questioned Vonotar's spies, and to be fair it is also probable they were that network. Just all the ones you encounter are assassins
Oh, the phrase 'the best day ever' came from the TV show Firefly, and anyone correcting or adding to it got a bonus 1/2 points or leniency with a half-corrected answer

"Legends would have it that the boy's name was originally Lonnie, and he was accepted as all Kai were at the tender age of eight to the Kai Temple. Here he learned the Disciplines of the Kai through study of Tomes such as the Book of the Magnakai. When the monastery was destroyed, and all the other Kai killed, the young man changed his name from Seeking Wolf to Lone Wolf, and vowed to avenge the death of his kin by warning King Alin of the dangers that Sommerlund faced.
The boy, at the tender age of fourteen, was able to negotiate a path through his invaded country to Hammerdal, where he warned the king of the danger of the Kai's death. Upon the way, he met a young journeyman of the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star called Boney-Dan, who was being set upon by Drakkarim in the ruins of a temple to Kai. Lone Wolf saved the mage by creating a diversion elsewhere, making the Drakkarim run the other way. Boney-Dan gave Lone Wolf an enchanted warhammer to lead him on his way. The pair made off towards the capital, but were separated by a Kraan attack.
When Lone Wolf made it to the capital, the King gave him the task of travelling to Durenor by road in order to steal a weapon the Durenese possessed - the Sommerswerd, the 'Sword of the Kai' forged by Sun Eagle himself. Sommerlund could only last one and a half months exactly against the army of Vashna.
Sadly, on the way Lone Wolf was set upon by assassins upon the way. One such man, Halvoc, possessed the symbol of the hawk on his right wrist to show that he was a member of Vashna's private spies.
Lone Wolf escaped, and met up with a Duranese crown prince Rygar at Ragadorn. The pair went to the capital of Holmgard alone, and fell foul of a group of Vordaks. Rygar gave his life to allow Lone Wolf to continue, and Lone Wolf stole the weapon while seeking aid of the king there.
A fleet or warships were dispatched on the fourtieth day of the seige as a distraction, but encountered giant sea creatures. Luckily, the Brotherhood mages on board drove them back. Meanwhile, Lone Wolf was carried by skyship back to Sommerlund. He faced Vashna on the field outside the capital and slew him in mortal combat.
It was the best day ever."
