After receiving the rather unwelcome news of two Accepted and a Warder-in-Training causing all the trouble in the Tower, Vancelle was not in a good mood. She still wore the calm mask, but it was obvious from her eyes that she was angry. She forced herself to calm down though because she did not know the entire story and needed that information before making any decisions. Right now though, things were looking pretty bleak for the two Accepted.
I can't believe this! Two Accepted! They are supposed to be setting the example, but look at what they have caused.
Pacing across her small study for a few moments, Vancelle finally left and went to the Traveling Grounds. The Mother would be back with the children shortly. Although she looked unflustered, the icy glare that was in her blue eyes warned of getting on her bad side.

: Azalea gave Mirren what she hoped to be a comforting look; but she was sure she had failed just as miserably as Mercury had at her attempt to console the other girl. Folding her hands in front of her, Azalea gave one last glance at the younglings before placing them out of her mind completely. "What say you to a spot of tea, Keeper?" She gave her friend a mischievous smile and extended an arm. :

Well...things were quite out of her hands now.
"Tea sounds quite welcome...provided we can get some sweets go with it. I feel like a little child right now, when I tried to snitch something from my aunt's kitchen!"
Smiling, she took Azalea's arm.
"If you will excuse us Mother....?"

As he opens the door, Skiiy is met with the immediate wave of fear as the three fades turn to look at him, but he had been ready for any such feeling, and he was over it quickly. The fact that it didn't so much as phaze Katerine probably helped, since that confidence flowed strongly over the bond. However, just as he's getting his adrenaline pumped, and preparing to leap on his opponents, he realizes how strange it is that they haven't attacked him instead. "Er, that's strange...it's probably a trap, if they're smart enough to set one. I say we take care of 'em now, less to worry about later on."
Skiiy knows he should probably wait for Katerine's word on this one, but he was a warder, not an attack dog, and he'd handle this his way(this of course is probably the adrenaline talking). He pounces forward, his blade held behind him, and he brings it down in an overhead swings as he reaches the first Fade. It brings up its blade to block the attack, but Skiiy has withdrawn his attack, landing neatly beneath the Fade's sword, and, remember what he'd read, removes its head with a quick slash, jumping backwards to avoid any lucky shots its flailing body could get in with that dark blade.

Alina took the napkin from Mercury with a small smile of thanks. she truned to Dupre and said 'they cant do anything that bad to you can they? oh i hope they dont do anything....i love you so much...if they did anything to you, or made us undo the bond...if that is even possible! then i dont know hwat i would do..." she turned to Mercury and said "thank you Keeper, i am sorry for whatever i did, i still do not know what i may have done and if i hurt anyone i am sorry." then she walked over to the three Aes Sedai that she was told to follow. she looked at the otehr Accepted who she now knew was named Merrin and asked, "why have i not seen you before? there are so few Accepted these days, how long have you been here?" i highly doubt small talk will do anything, but its worth a shot to make up to her whatever damage i may have done whilst i was under wahtever spell the...FORSAKEN! had done to me...
Dupre gave alina small hug before walking in the other direction towards the Traning yard and his rooms. have i ever spent a night in my own rooms since being bonded to ALina? usually of late i am...doing things that only the Dark one Himself knows....litlarly. why did i drag alina into this?
((i cant rp for Dupre any longer! i have never been a warder or a guy before (thank the light!) so i wouldnt know what to do! LOL sawy!))

Katerine Sedai,
It has been two days since I could last send out. I've had trouble with bands of Whitecloaks in Baerlon, but I am past them now and it is safe for me to travel openly. I ride hard on the Caralain Grass, away from cities, away from Halfsmead. The occasional village can be seen, but they have naught to offer me in the way of comfort; I simply long for home.
My heart races every time I look to the horizon, for I can see the Black Hills, though small as they are, it is a welcome sight. I've had to trade mounts two times because I ride so hard.
How I wish I was home, in my bed, in my room. I hope my absence has not dissuaded you from our agreement; you do remember, right? I only hope I return in time to take my possition.
You should see the progress I have made! I've learned almost complete controll over the flames! They writhe in the air with the exact movment I tell it! I have even learned to put out fires by calling them to me, though my hands are raw from the practice, I finally perfected it. My sword has seen no use since my last practice bout in the Tower's yards, but trust in this, every night has been spent in practice. Every night I follow the forms that you taught me in our training together. I know that the Swordmaster does not like me practicing such forms, but I prefer them.
At my fire now I can see the hills outlined by the moon. You should see this, it is absolutly beautiful. Why, even I feel like baying at the moon out here!
I cannot wait to sit and talk about this past year.
See you soon,
Nine

((Are the forsaken no protected species, since there are only so few of them? I turned 18 last july, so perhaps I'm also one of the older ones around. But don't worry, I also spent time on neopets, which I think is far more childish and I know people around there who play it more often than there grandchildren. I think there are more older gaians then meets the eye.))

Mirren curtsied to the Keeper and grinned back to Azalea, then turned to the Amyrlin and curtsied even deeper. Than she followed the other accepted to the Aes Sedai to be taken to her room. I have been here for over half a year, but I have been away for some months, its quite complecated and personal, I'd rather not explain right now, perhaps some other time.

Lathanam OrDetha Nekoyasha_Skiiy ((A hunt! I demand a hunt! I declare Forsaken season officially open!)) ((Also, ALINA'S AS OLD AS ME?!?! But noone on Gaia is 18+! Well, technically, I guess whichever one of you is in the army, Mog, I think, has to be 18. Still...well, Lanzer's like 30, so whatever.)) ((Well, I'm 19, but I think I'm fine since I joined when I was 17...Damnit! You've made me insecure! scream I'm going to my hole!)) ((Aww...why the insecurities? I still love you. heart )) Although she was worried about Skiiy's bold actions, Katerine moved out of the warehouse after him. She wanted to leave the area, but stayed back from the Shadowspan. The other two Eyeless followed her movements with their feared gaze, but she did not notice. It was a trick of the mind that they played on people, one she had defeated long ago. As the first of the Fades was killed, the twenty Trollocs were put into action. Katerine knew that despite his abilities, Skiiy would never be able to fight the two Fades and the Trollocs. Going against her wishes, she opened herself to the One Power and channeled Fire. Fire was probably the weakest ability of hers, but it was the most effective with Trollocs when she didn't want to continually channel. Weaving delicate threads at the half human, half beast creatures, they all soon became to cry out in pain while unseen flames licked at their bodies. This did not stop all of the Trollocs though, some of them advanced toward her. Unsure of what to do, she fed another thin thread of fire into the Trollocs. A few more stopped and writhed in pain, but three continued on. It was odd, they almost seemed immune to what she was doing which was worrying Katerine slightly. Suddenly one rushed at her causing Katerine to instinctively raise the shield. The Trollocs weapon clanged against the shield and then disintegrated. Confused by what the shield had done, the trolloc beat at it with his fists only to step back howling in pain. Katerine herself did not understand what the shield had done, but took advantage of the Trollocs' fear. Instead of just Fire, she combined it with Air which would make explosions. Athough she didn't want to, Katerine set the weaves before the trollocs and when they stepped on it, the ground beneath them blew up. The managled bodies lay on the ground with the other internally burned trollocs. Skiiy still dealt with the Fades though. Katerine was afraid to channel any more because of the threat to call more. She also didn't want to run the risk of hurting Skiiy. Once he was finished with the Fades though, they needed to move. Her channeling had certainly set off some sort of warning and Katerine didn't want to be around when reinforcements came.

Dropping to his knees, Yurin shuddered at what he had done. He knew, in his heart that it had been no child, but that knowledge could not stop the vision of the small form twitching in the last movements it would ever make. Neither the welcome feel of saidin's comforting light waiting just over his shoulder, nor knowing that the death had been quick and relatively painless could erase the horror of that sight from his exhausted and pain-wracked mind.
It had to be done. There was no other way. These thoughts kept repeating in his head like a mantra, it did nothing to relieve his bitter self-loathing at what he had done, but it helped to solidify his resolve. He knew that he had done what was needed. He wanted to just lay down and let the Myrdraal's blade take it's due course, but he knew he had too many obligations to lay them down so easily. Duty was as heavy as a mountain, death light as a feather. The Lord Dragon had said that often, but now, Mog truly understood.
Seizing the One Power, Yurin weaved a Gateway. He was very thankful that when males Channeled a Gateway they had to know where they were going. He knew that a female Channeler needed to stay someplace for about an hour before they could weave a Gateway. He didn't think he had that long. He didn't know too many of the areas in the White Tower too well, and his mind was swimming on the brink of unconsciousness, his holding saidin wasn't helping, either. He hoped he made the right decision. There were usually so many people at the training grounds.
The Gateway revolved open and, his last strength failing, Yurin crawled through. He had opened it against a wall to one of the fighting arenas. He didn't want to accidentally slice some unsuspecting trainer by having a Gateway open in the middle of them. As he crawled through, the oppressive feel of the Shayol Ghul changed immediately to the wonderful smells and feel of the sun and the brightness of the White Tower, itself. He was home. Swaying as saidin left him and the Gate closed behind him, Mog looked around at utter solitude. There was noone near.
A hollow laugh left his tortured frame. It was just his luck to arrive at a time when there was no living soul in the Training Grounds. He sent a last, desperate plea for his Aes Sedai as consciousness left him. It was a horrid, freakish circumstance that saw a breeze blow through the area and push the cowl of his cloak over his head. The breeze faded into the distance, its damage complete. Fancloth encompassed the reposed form of the dying Gaidin, no visible representation showed where he lay.
((This shall be my last post for a while. I am going to Iraq, tomorrow. I hope to have internet there, but it is not assured. I wish all of you the best. I hope to RP with all of you again soon. Farewell.))

Somewhere up there is Zeus, and one day he decided to hurl a lightningflash at you. Now some of Zeus' wisdom still sticked on the lightning, so when it hit you, you gained some of the wisdom of Zeus. Ofcourse you think this is nonsense, but that is because you think that the wisdom is your own, the shock of the lightning made your's and Zeus' wisdom melt together into you new wisdom. I think for me the gratest thing that changed is my understanding of english, which leaped forward.)) Good luck in Iraq Mog, I hope we can hear from you every now and then, miss you.
