Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Ya, go ahead and do that...Mog, I don't know what you had expected from me, you put yourself in this situation, you can't expect me to detail it.))

Blite smirks down at the man as he writhes on the floor of his cell, eyes bulging, and gasping for breath. He had used Air abilities to clear all the air from the room, leaving not only a lack of oxygen, but a vacuum as well. He'd gone even longer this time, the man wouldn't live through much more of this, and he'd been ordered to let him live...He lets the air flood back into the room, and the man collapses, breathing hard. "I'll tell you *gasp* He came in a dream...there were a lot of use there, He gave use orders...He told me to use a special poison on a high up warder when I got the signal *gasp* I recieved the poison a couple of days ago. Please, that's all I know!!" Blite grins evilly down at the man as he finishes his plea. "I don't think it is, I think you need a little more persuasion, don't you?" The man groans as Blite begins to channel his energy again...

Skiiy would shake his head now, if he had a head, but at the moment, can only watch through his own eyes as Blite controls his body. He had always been too weak to torture people, he couldn't even interrogate the woman, his sense of chivalry would bother him too much. However, he'd let the darker side of his personality take control, the being he'd sealed in his body so long ago. Personally, he'd rather be rid of the man, but he was useful in situations like this. The b*****d probably hadn't heard a bit of what the man had said, but Skiiy had caught it. It hadn't been particularly helpful, the only reason he'd let Blite continue, but it was information, and more than they had had before.

((Note, that was a beginning of Book 2 reference.))

((About the whole Warder issue, you made a good point Skiiy. I wouldn't mind to be bonded to someone, to have that connection. It's crazy to chose, so I think I'll wait a while. And Kakashi, prepare to be trained! xd ))

Mairyela looked at him, a bit surprised, as she heard Kakashi's response. He has no idea, she thought. She smiled. Mairyela had always wanted to teach, to spread her wisdom to others. This was a perfect opportunity. She turned fully to face him. "You may not have noticed before but nature alone did not create these eyes." She waited for him to study their color. "The young woman there is the same as I. You can smell it, can't you? You cannot explain it, I'm sure. Your eyes are sharper than others and you can sence the emotions of others." Prehaps. This was a speculation, but she was sure she was right about him. "You may not be experiancing these traits yet, but they will come. I can sence it in you. Though your eyes may not be yellow yet, you, like me and the Accepted, are a Wolfkin." She didn't wait for a reaction. "Now that I have brought what I can to the Amyrlin and Yurin, there is another task I must get to. It has been a pleasure to meet you two, but I must leave. While I am gone, please do what you can."

She left the Amyrlins stud with a wide curtsy of her blue skirts to the Amyrlin, and left without a word. She hoped no one had started interrogating the woman Skiiy had taken to the cells. She wanted to make her scream herself. She knew men had a nicer disposition towards women. Even with the crimes on her head, the woman probably wouldn't recieve the pain she deserved.

Taking an unscheduled turn left into a smartly decorated hall, she stepped into her room. The room was plain; she didn't want her position going to her head. Beside an oak chair in the corner sat her bow. The cherrywood bow was her most prised possetion. The centerpiece knotch and the two ends holding the strings were guilded silver, with wrapping ivy engraved within. Picking it up, along with her fletch of arrows, she headed towards the cells, hoping an armed Aes Sedai would prove a bit more threatening.

The only reaction that Kakashi was truly able to give was an open stare of shock and confusion. Sense emotions? Sense each other? Wolfkin? He had never even knew such a thing existed and knew even less of what it was he was supposed to be. Blinking slightly, he looked to the Accepted and tilted his head. She did seem to feel different from the others in the room. Familiar. Looking back towards Mairyela with his mouth open to speak, he noticed she was leaving. He shut his mouth and started to follow, but then decided against it. He had been brought here to try and help in whatever way he could, so he most certainly should stay. Still puzzled and even more confused than before, he turned back to the still form of Yurin, Alina still kneeling over him doing wahtever it was she was doing with the One Power.

((Here we go, indeed. And thanks Skiiy! I'll just wait a bit, then decide.))

As Mairyela reached the cells, she wrinkled her nose. The smells and scents down there were always desgusting and vile. Once, during her Accepted years, she had had to come down to the cells and transfer a prisoner with an Aes Sedai for questioning. She had almost fainted.

Turning a bend, she and Skiiy crossed paths. Stopping next to him, she listened to his kind words. Closing her eyes, she waited as he finished. "There are no words I could possibly use to express how I feel at this moment," she told him, "and I feel things are only going to become tougher. Thank you. Thank you so very much. And I will go as easy on her as I must. I guarentee, when I am done, she shall remember my name!" Giving him a nod, they parted.

Walking down the dark, musty hall, she came across the cell of the man who had killed her friend. Hopefully Yurin was alright by now. Oh how she wanted to have but five minutes with him alone. He was panting hard and clutching his throat. Skiiy must have done well. Angry, she opened herhand and set it near her face. Weaving fire, she blew across her hand, sending a wave of fire at him through the bars of the door. Yelling out, he hid his face and huddled himself into the corner. Smiling, she continued down the hall.

The further she went, the more overbearing the smells became. She felt sick to her stomach as she reached the cell of the woman. Mercury Sedai's weave was tied fast and the woman was still struggling to free herself as she unlocked her door and walked in. "You may as well stop trying," she hissed acid at the woman. "It'll do you no good. Now talk! Your name, wench!"

The dark haired woman smiled at her. Smiled! "Since it seems I won't be going anywhere, I may as well enlighten you. I'm Syra, and I'm the least of your worries, witch."

Mairyela lashed out with Air, striking Syra across the face. "You shall hold the proper respects for an Aes Sedai, girl! Who are you working for?" Hefting her bow, she made sure Syra saw it plainly. The girl just smiled. In a singsong voice, she purred, "I'm not telling."

"Then you leave me no choice." Syra was mearly a child still, but she felt no qualms. Weaving Fire and Spirit, she wrapped it around the womans body. Syra screamed loudly, peircing Mairyela's ears like a sword. The Spirit acted like a barrier between the skin and the Fire. Though her skin was not burned by her weave, Syra would still feel it's searing pain. It was a technique she had stumbled across during her training, and she had been almost sorry she had found it. Almost. After a moment, she released her prisoner, whose face was wet with tears. "Shall I continue, or will you cooperate?"

Syra wept intensely. "Please, no more! The Light have mercy!"

Mairyela's eyes flashed. "Light? What do you know about the Light, Darkfriend? How dare you pray to it now!" Wthout thinking, she channeled her weave again. The scream bounded off the walls, echoing down the hall. Upon release, Syra hollered her secrets. "I was raised a Darkfriend by a pair of merchants in Whitebridge. He knew I'd be loyal! You're right, my Lady. I know nothing of Light!" She cried like a babe.

"He?" she questioned. "Who's he?" She ignored the 'Lady' bit. Now progress might be made. Syra shook her head. "I don't know!"

"Don't know, or shall not tell?" Raising her hand in mock threat, Syra flintched and cried, "He came in my dreams! I couldn't even see his face! He demanded that I called him Romvian, though I doubt it is his true name." Tears still streaming down her cheeks, she bowed her head, defeated. Walking over, Mairyela knelt next to the woman. Grasping her chin in her hand, Syra tried to jerk away. She held her fast. "Your cooperation shall be considered when deciding your fate, Syra." The words seemed to calm her a bit. "I need one last thing from you. What are Romvian's intentions?"

Mairyela's eyes widened with shock as Syra confessed. "Aes Sedai and their Warders are the most powerful beings in this world, next to the Lord Dragon. But unlike the Dragon Reborn, there are more than just one of you. He intends to take hold of the Tower, and enslave all it's followers. With your strength at his command, he will reign supreme, taking over this land, as well as all others, and plung it into darkness."

Kakashi tried to splutter something, but found himself drug out of the room anyway. He didnt even know why he had tried to protest, because it was obvious he wasnt going to be of much help with Yurin. So following Alina, he sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "So what's all this that you're going to explain? I'm very confused right now." He grinned a bit and chuckled weakly. He knew there was something big pertaining to him going on, but not what. Should he even laugh at it? He didnt know enough to be sure.

The gateway astounded Kakashi, as did the wolves on the other side. Never had he even seen a wolf, yet here he was surrounded by them as he was pulled through. "Wha? What sort of training do you have in mind?! Feeding me to them?!" He looked around a bit worried, though slowly it dawned on him that none of the wolves seemed to be looking at him in an aggressive manner. That and he felt strangely comfortable around them. Ultimately this only furthered his confusion, though he was slowly beginning to understand a bit more about what had been said to him earlier by Mairyela.

Alina closed the gateway and walked over to wild rose and sat down. "sit" she chuckled at telling him to sit, and at what he said, yes he would make a great friend, and maybe a great Warder some day. she patted a log. "they wont hurt you, you can feel them cant you?" her yellow eyes twinkiling. "like the Aes Sedai said, Nature did not make these eyes on humans, my eyes, they used to be hazel, then they turned yellow at about the age of 16. a few years after i lost my father, to the crazyness of Sadain, i thought, that i was going mad to, but an Aes Sedai found me and showed me what it ment." she smiled at her breatherin. "these," she spread her hands to show that she ment the wolves, "were my new family, the first ones that talked to me, scared me, so i ran, thus giving me my name, Heron, because i ran so fast." she blushed and Wild Rose barked at her. she smiled at her and scratched her ear. "they told me that there was new blood in the Tower, they dont come close, but they could tell about you." she smiled. "you know of Perrin Abyara? no i thought not. but you will, the wolves love to talk of him, they call him Young bull, i do not know why, and they mighty Long Tooth. his real name is Elays. the Aes Sedai here know him, he was a Warder once too." she reached into her pocket and pulled out her Angreal, a little wolf sitting up with its ears erect. "this, is an Angreal, it keeps the madness away. I will find someone to duplicate it for you, and for Minikaru if she does not have one." he looked confused. "do you understand what im saying brother?"
