Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was not Dupre's words that made his hand leave his staff, but Alina's hand placed on his. He did not wish for a fight, but he would not say anything. He would not give this man the idea that he had backed down out of guilt or embaressment. Just as Alina could tell, however, so could he that there was something not quite right about Dupre. He knew little of the man and knew even less of what he was like, so no judgement could Kakashi make, and none he would.

After sitting down and taking the water and food, he quickly gulps down a couple mouth fulls of water while listening to Alina. "Well it happened one night when I was out walking through Tar Valon. Then out of no where Mesaana severed me from the source but it was different like I can't explain it, but it was like everything was gone I couldn't sense you any more I had thought that they may have gotten you as well as me. She then locked me with air so I couldn't move and then opened a gate way to Shoyal Ghul and pushed me through. She then tortured me and when that wasn't working they used compulsion. I never felt so much pleasure or pain in all my life not even the void could hold against it. She then resorted back to torturing me, beating me to with in an inch of my life and then they would heal me and continue. This went on for months, She was trying to get information from me, information about the tower. But I wouldn't say anything. She knew a lot more about the tower than she was letting on I think she may have an informant or be in the tower herself. You can delve me if you wish to but I don't think your gonna find much other than pain."

Alina ran her thumb along her lower lip and then snaped her finger. "yes Dupre, we suspected as much. That she was in the Tower i mean." she placed her hands on Dupres head and delved him. Taking the wirreness out of him, not all, leaving enough that he would be able to sleep tonight, she healed his wounds. He gasped slightly as she did this. She didnt let go yet though. she probed at his mind a bit. There was that block she had heard about on stilled sisters and gentled men. But this one was different. "It would take a greater mind then mine to fix this." she knew that she was one of the best healers in Ages, but she was no match to Sumeko or even Nayneve. "Yes, i think my Sister Yellows will want to look at you dear." she ran her hand down his cheek and brushed his shaggy hair out of his eyes. "I've missed you so much" she said softly. "I thought i had lost you forever..." suddeny she turned back to teh bag, her nose twitched with a smell from Kakashi she did not understand, and a feeling in her head like a wolf alert at night. She glanced at him and sent a soothing thought thru the bond.
"Dupre...this...is yours....you left it. Or rather, it was left behind..." she pulled the long glossy Warders cloak from her bag and wrapped it around him, making part of him seem to dissapear. Motioning for Kakashi to sit down, she broke some bread into three peices and also some cheese and they begain to eat.
"Kakashi...Dupre...maybe you two should get to know each other?" she raised an eyebrow at them. "as you will be working to gether, if it Pleases the Light, for a very long time." she smiled at them.

Mercury couldn't think straight. Too much was going on inside her mind. Therefore, she decided to leave things be at the Tower for a while to go and meet Wolf. Hawk hadn't moved from Clarissa's office, which was for the better; she didn't want to elave the Mother by herself with the eerie howl still ringing in her ears. She went first to Clarissa's room, woke up the novice who was sleeping on duty, and gave her a mild scolding, before telling her to bring up food for Yurin from the kitchens; and not to worry about if it got cold; she could always get more. She also instructed her to not let anyone else in, except for Clarissa, until Yurin woke up and said otherwise.

With that, Mercury left to her room, and made a Skimming gate back out onto the plain. As it closed behind her, she found herself wondering if Wolf was ok; she would have to remember to check and Heal him if he needed it. She started walking towards the camp, as she could sense where Wolf was through the bond, and got as far as the edge of the camp, before she was stopped by the sentries. The mask was in place, as the sentry demanded to know who she was and how she'd gotten there.

"I am Mercury Sedai, of the White Tower. I'm here to speak with Markis. You needn't go get him or your superior; he will be here himself in a few minutes." She left it at that, and then began to examine the surroundings more closely, trying to figure out where they were, while waiting for Wolf.

((helo all sorry for my absence, i was doing my practical studies at sea this passed two months, i am studying seamanship and there was no internet aboard that bloody vessel. So what did i miss..?))

Hawk was as always standing at one of the corner of the room where the amyrlin is working. He gazes at all the people who comes to the room to either report to the amyrlin or just give her a short visit. For a moment he felt that Mercury was still close to the bond. But it suddenly change rapidly, she is now somewhere to the north where Markis is ,his weaponbrother and he understood. He usually just go after his aes sedai when she does what she just did, but this time he dont have no choice but to stay on the tower and guard the amyrlin, till Yurin is feeling better and back to his feet. Now and then he is inside the void and have saidin at easy reach if something suddenly occured. He looked at the direction where he thinks Mercury and Markis are and sigh one more time before going back to focus on his duty.

Markis feels Mercury skim back to the same field as before. He grabs his armor quickly putting it on and his warder cloak. He picks up his swords and ties one onto his back and the other at his waist. He picks up the last of his things and briskly walks out of his tent and towards Mercury. He walks past the sentry and gives him a wave. He walks up to Mercury and throws his things on the ground and picks her up hugging her. "I've missed you so much! You look so much....older!" Laughs "Nah I'm just kidding, you look more beautiful now than ever! I've missed you so much, I gave the general my release so I could go back and be with you." After looking around he asks "Here's Hawk? Shouldn't he have came with you?"

Romvian-who had weaved himself invisible and actually entered the city by foot-moved along the streets of Tar Valon. Tonight was the night that they would kidnap Clarissa. He had been careful to aviod channeling so completely so that he could not be traced.

It would only be when he actually got nearest her that they would realize what had happened. With the inverted weaves hiding him even from the male channelers in the Tower, he proceeded casually up the stairs, checking that the weaves hiding his scent were in place.

He arrived at the Amyrlin's Quarters and waited outside. No one would see or sense him, so long as he did not do anything foolish.
