((A long post by Alina! eek *is very impressed* Good post, sweetie... Sorry, but I don't think Yurin will want to be questioned at a time like this.... sweatdrop ))
Alina Sedai After a long and arduos ((sp?)) ((arduous)) morning of finding an Aes Sedai passed out, almost getting killed by a man who should be Gentaled ((Gentled))becauase ((because))he is more then HALF mad, and STILL not knowing if she was going to be stilled or not, she dicedid ((decided))it was a good idea to take a nice long ride. She had gone to the stables, looking for her lovely mare, Honey, for a nice long walk in the foresets ((forests)) suronding ((surrounding))Tar Valon. as she headed towards the gate, when she noticed, the Warder from last night, i think his name is urine ((Yurin))or somthing... poor man if that really is his name... talking to a man, that seemed tobe ((to be))half diliorus ((sp?)) ((delirious)) she swished her braid over her shoulder and started to play with it. her yellow eyes flashing at the new arrivel ((sp yet again?)) ((arrival)) Although she was now deacintly ((sp?)) ((distinctly.. I think that was what that was supposed to be..)) in Accepted white with the 7 bands, she still had the reagalness ((regalness)) she always had when she went out, she was aware that the great serpent ring on her finger was not where she wished it to be, but she knew that, if it had not been for Mesaana, she would be Aes Sedai now. She rode casually over to the Gaidin known all well that he was Clarissa's, but she did not know who this other man was. the guard nuckled ((knuckled)) his forehead at her and she nodded. "excuse me...Gaididn ((Gaidin)), but what is going on here? who is this man?" she knew very little of urine ((Yurin)), really, who would name their child that? ((someone who wanted to honor the Heroes of Legend, he hates the name, too)) but that he came in a few years ago as a deligation ((delegate, how can one man be a whole delegation?)) from Rand, and stayed ((that was the plan)). She tried not to stare at him, he had a look to him that was very inviting. she patted the side of Honeys neck instead.
((Aaactually, if Alina's head wasn't as empty as she acts, she would know that Yurin Stonebow was one of the Heroes bound to the Horn, his legend known as well as that of Birgitte. Then, again, like I said if, but we all know better. xp *laughs* so we want to make fun, do we? We shall see, we shall see...))
Yurin walked towards the boy, nay, the man he had taught. He looked every bit as strong as he ever had been, a little worse the wear for his ride, and his horse, uncharacteristically, haggard.
"Dar! You know better than all this formality, it's Mog to you. You've always been a friend. Why have you run Horse, silly name for such a fine creature, I tell you, so ragged? That gelding almost died under you. Why are Whitecloaks after you? Why are you riding in the rain? Why didn't you just Gate here?", About to continue his barrage of questions, Yurin saw his former student swaying on his feet, trying to hold a position of attention to his superior.
"Enough of this nonsense, Dar. You are asleep on your feet, you shall answer my queries when we get some hot food in your belly, and a few hours rest into your bones. Come I know just the-",
A bedraggled whelp of a female dressed in a drenched Accepted dress came in making every attempt at trying to act the part of an Aes Sedai and succeeding as much had Horse tried. The guard knuckling his forehead at the soaked female, seemed to be struggling not to laugh as her haughty attempt at an Aes Sedai's cool demeanor was destroyed by her just-out-of-the-river appearance.
Her nose in the air such that she could barely see down it at the tall Gaidin standing before her, she began to make demanding requests of him, even if it was 'politely'. His student, no, his friend, stood there, half-starved, exhausted, drenched, swaying near death, and this 'girl' thought this was any of her business?!
"Child.", a single word, dripping with scorn, and edged with barely suppressed rage, "This is none of your concern. My student, my friend, stands before me, exhausted, drenched, possibly sick or hurt, and you want to stand around and have your idle curiousity answered while you make puddles on the floor and play at being an Aes Sedai? Your presence was not requested, nor is it required. I suggest you scurry back to the Tower before you hurt yourself. Oh, and try to lower your nose or you might drown."
Angrily turning on his heel, Mog went to his student and opened a Gateway easily large enough for the two of them and Horse. As the went through, they exited in an stall kept empty for just this purpose, the quiet comings and goings of the Amyrlin's Gaidin. Perks of the position. The Gateway sliced shut as of slamming a door, Yurin hadn't been this angry in a long time. That Light Blinded hair-brained fool! Coming in as if she owned the guardhouse, making demands of a Gaidin trying to aid a friend? Of all the foolish- The Amyrlin would hear of this. And that Mistress, what was her name, Vancelle? Let's see how important it was to play Aes Sedai before you had earned the title, young one.
Mog took Darius to one of the dozens of guest rooms. Vaulted ceiling with a large mural from wall, across ceiling, to wall, depicting some ancient battle. dominated the room, an enormous, overstuffed, four-post bed took up a large portion of the floor, a large fireplace, with a large armchair placed just so in front of it, a large bookcase, , and a beautiful, gleaming copper tub finished the furnishings. Immediately, as if he had called for them, servants began appearing, quietly offering dry clothing, starting a fire, removing boots, heating the bed, a bath, and several scurrying to the kitchens to bring a hot meal for the Amyrlin's Gaidin. Perks indeed! If it hadn't been for his concern over his friend, Mog would've grinned at the utter efficiency, the Tower had some of the best help he had ever seen.
Reaching for Dar's forehead, the Delving he had been taught flowed into his student, Damer's Healing didn't pull from the student the way that the Aes Sedai's did, if he was injured, Yurin prayed to the Creator that he would be able to help him, Darius was far too exhausted to take the not-too-tender ministrations of the Yellows.
((Sorry, Alina! lol Baaad time to come asking questions... blaugh ))

Bookwizard Emaleen removed her book from the position she had it, which was quite close to her nose, and stood up. "Good morning Mirren! I'm glad you showed up. I'm ready for my lesson but I am a little tired, I guess all that travel caught up with me." Emaleen stood up and straitened her slightly rumbled dress and lightly touched her pocket pouch to make sure it was still there. Emaleen opened the door to her room and replaced the book on her table before coming back out. "Where is the lesson going to be Mirren?" ((SNOW DELAY!! Wheee!)) ((sorry for not posting before. College is gone and fingers are de-nearly-frozen)) "Just follow me, we'll talk on the way. We're not early as it is and the other novices will be waiting." As they walked through Tar Valon's halls Mirren explained about todays lesson. It would not be much but if the novices showed they might handle it she would take them all outside and build sandwalls, also because Mirren wanted to show off her sandcastlebuildingskill a little.

((*crys* moggy dear...first of i want to thank you for your spelling error corrections. and for the compliment second, yurine does sound like urine, and i was saying it in my HEAD! crying thrid. ya didnt have to be so cruel, i was being polite and came over b/c i have strong HEALING abilitys! why didnt you just ask! okay im done ranting. and NO ONE said it was raining..did they?)) Alina turned to the guard, whom she knew well, and was very close with and got of her horse. "Jain, was that...well he was quite rude to me. i know i am Accepted, i was NOT looking down my nose at him!" she let her temper flair for a second before pushing it down." she sat down in the guard post and took a cup of tea that Jain handed her. "what a rude man, his name is Yurin? oh...so he was wrongly named i see. ((i dont know much about the horn bounders except my beloved Brigette so i dont know what to say mog...i dont remember him being mentioned....sry hun)) why would rand send such a rude man as deligation... albeit three years ago..." she siped her tea, it was not minty which she was thankful for, ever since the bought of forkroot tea, she had not liked mint tea of any kind. she sighed and got up. "thank you Jain for the tea, but he was right about one thing, i should go back to the Tower," she sighed again. "Vancelle will want to see me soon....i guess...so much for my ride. good day Jain" he knucked his forehead as she attepmpted to glide out, but proceded in stumbling on a rock near the door ((i would really do that too)) she turned around and blushed, "oh and jain, you know you dont have to do that, i held no postion before i came here, and i am but a lowly Accepted, and may be for the rest of my days..." she walked over to honey and pulled a carrot out of her pocket and fed it to her, she then got onto her horses back and rode back to the Tower at a slow walk. she was in no hurry for her punishment.
i guess i dont really diserve to be Aes Sedai, im such a fool. that Yurin was right, i am just a child, even if i am 26 i am still a child... she started to cry silently and had no need for wiping off the tears, for she was already drenched, it had started raining halfway through her ride.
when she got back to the stables, she put Honey into a stall and brushed her. she waved away a stable hand that wanted to do it, and continued it had been a long time since she had done this, and honey kept nipping her effectionity on the shoulder. she laughed "stop it girl" the horse stuck its big nose in her pocket attempting to get the sugar cube she knew was there. "okay okay hold on!" she laughed. she gave the big mare the sugar cube and rubbed the white stripe that ran down her muzzle to her nose, the only white on her. "i have to go girl" she said, and put her saddle in the tack room. ((did they have tack rooms? i dont know if they wre ever mentioned...))

((Forgive me, Alina, for my absences. With the end of the quarter coming up and my computer not being n the best of shape, I let myself get behind in posting again and left you to post by yourself, I'm sorry. ))
Fayela woke up in her bed again, she had passed out again as they were taking her back to her rooms. Even after the healing she still felt like she could not stand on her own, though she got up and did it anyway.
As soon as she was on her feet for a moment she had to run to a bucket and she suffered severe dry heaves. When they were done, she leaned against her bed and slid down on to the floor, crying.
"Dear, Creator, what's wrong with me? I feel like I'm dying...I can't die! I still have so much to do....Please, God make it stop!"
A voice in her head replied to her, 'This is what you get for refusing the Dark Lord, for refusing to follow the path of your sisters. Now suffer! For not even the Creator can help you now!'
She cried out in pain as the voice laughed and she knew no more....

((Yeay! Thanks a lot, Mirren!)) After a few moments of searching, fruitless but a search non the less, Mairyela gave up and turned her attention to the arrow. Picking up the two halves, she inspected them closely. The black arrow hadn't stood a chance against her weave, for it was made of soft wood. Willow, it seemed. Cheap, but still effective. The haft was fletched with raven feathers, and a slight discoloration along the point suggested a poisonous tip. Her eyes narrowed at this. To take such ends to make sure I would die... Gathering herself, she hurried the rest of the way to the Tower grounds. Barely acknowledging the salutes given by the Tower guards, she rushed into the courtyard, her mind racing. Was I targeted because I am Aes Sedai, or have I made an enemy? She let a small smile grace her lips. Of course, enemies comes with the territory. Either way, the sisters must be warned. A Darkfriend in Tar Valon... The sound of steel on steel caught her attention. Across the courtyard, young men were training with swords and quarterstaves under the watchful eyes of their Gaidin trainers. She lost sight of them as she turned a corner and entered the White Tower. Novices hurried about, fumbling around curtsies as they hurried out of her way. Striding through the hallways, Mairyela made her way up a spiral staircase when she was suddenly hit by a smell that made her drop her emotionless faquade, as well as the arrow halves. As dark as the arrow, the scent of death and decay filled her nostrils, filtering it's way from the Novices quarters. No! It can't be!

Emaleen nodded as she listened to Mirren's explanation of what they were to do. Then she remembered something. "Mirren, I have never been to an ocean before, I have seen sand-like soil near rivers but not sand. I know what it is though." Emaleen paused. "Maybe after I finish my training I could visit the beach, have you ever been to the beach?" Emaleen wasn't sure of exactly what she would make, this being because she wasn't sure how it would stick together, maybe the white tower?

Mercuryangel ((Send who what where? I'm so confused...*blinks*)) The pair of them walked into the Aes Sedai dining hall and settled at a random table. A novice came and curtsied and asked for what they would like. Mercury shrugged and told the girl to send whatever the Mistress of Kitchens recommended. The girl nodded and turned to Azalea to take her order. Mercury waited until the girl was gone, before speaking again.
"So have you had any progress puzzling out some of those angreal?" : Azalea shrugged absently at Mercury's question as they waited for their food. She fiddled with her many necklaces, seeming to pay more attention to them than to what she was saying, though this was merely a visage, "Which ones? The ones Katerine showed me? No, I haven't thought much about those, to be honest. I have been more preoccupied trying to nail down the location of the stash we will be journeying to. I have been puzzingling those out, yes, but I haven't put very many pieces together yet." :

The novice came back quickly, skillfully balancing two fairly loaded trays and placing them neatly on the table, before curtsying and leaving to attend to others. Mercury poured herself a cup of tea from the tray, and asked if Azalea would likesome. Even as she did so, she began downing some of the fruit that was on the tray. Her stomach certainly welcomed it.
"The ones we're journeying to..." Mercury thought about it and shrugged. She pursued something equally intriguing. "Have you heard the rumors of the perhaps new Talent? I've never seen a person do so myself, but judging by the rumors I titled them as Ang'real Readers. I'm sure you can guess from the name that they're similar to regular Readers, except they analyze ang'real and not weaves naturally."

She had spent the last couple of minutes trying to hunt the girl down. Her determined stride was the only thing that gave her frustration away.
Of all the things that girl has gotten herself into lately. Bonding a warder before becoming Aes Sedai. Attempting to kill the Mother twice, even if controlled by a Forsaken. Now trying to tell a Gaidin what to do! Ah, it's a pity she must be raised soon. Otherwise, I think it would do her good to stay an Accepted. A girl with her abilities though just can't stay an Accepted. I shall have to talk to either the Keeper or the Mother about this.
On a whim, Vancelle made her way toward the stables. One of the guards had told her about the incident with Yurin, but had mentioned that it had happened a while ago. Still, it was worth a shot to look when the child could not be found any where else.
Coming around the corner, she looked the picture of Aes Sedai regalness in her dark blue slashed with cream dress. Her step flowed over the pavement stones as water does over river rocks. Then she saw her. Alina Al'Mora. Vancelle stopped her in her stalking and looked at the child who was causing so much grief for her.
Walking over, she addressed herself with a slight clearing of the throat. Then her stern voice rang through the silence.
"You have been quite the one to track down Child. Now, let's take a walk back to my office. We need to discuss some things."
As harsh as her words sounded, Vancelle knew that not all of what she told Alina would be bad. She probably already suspected that she would be raised soon, but Vancelle would confirm that it would be really soon. Just after she had dicussed the issue with the Mother or the Keeper.

Alina Sedai ((oh btw im just wating for someone to pick me up...^_^)) ((Lol. Me too! I'm slowly running on empty.)) Quickly embracing saidar, she could feel her heart beating in her chest as well as her throat. Her mind raced as she climbed the last few steps of the staircase. A novice being a darkfriend wasn't a crazy proposition, but she hated to think of it. Following her nose, which was a disgusting ordeal, it lead her to a certain room that made her heart stop. Saidar slipped away sharply. She hadn't realized where she had been while following the scent. This, she realized, was her old room; her quarters had been given away when she had been raised. The room itself, though, had more meaning than that. This had been the place where she cried herself to sleep almost every night. It was where she had recieved the letter informing her that her father had been killed in a hunting accident. Now, staring back at her from the white door, was the mark of the dragon's fang. It reeked of rotting blood and as she ran a finger down its edge, she felt a sharp pain shoot up her arm. She nearly gave a yell as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Quickly gaining her composure, she turned sharply, causing the young novice to jump. She couldn't have been more than sixteen, with dark brown hair and green eyes. She fixed a glare on her and she whimpered. "Don't you know any manners? You'll be lucky if I don't have you doing penance for a month! Now what is it girl? Stop gaping!" Her anger even surprised herself, but the girl had to learn. The novce did a hasty curtsy before stammering, "Did you catch that man?" Mairyela's eyees narrowed. "What man?" "I saw a suspicious man walking around the halls. I didn't like the look of him. By the way he walked, he surely couldn't be a Warder..." Mairyela saw the confusion in the novices eyes. It was good that her body was blocking the view of the mark on the door. Trying to be as reasuring as possible, she nodded. "You must report this to the Amirlyn immediatly! I will join you in a moment." Nodding and giving a curtsy, the girl dashed off. Making sure she was gone, Mairyela gave a sigh. So it wasn't a novice, but someone had infultrated the Tower! She also had a sinking feeling that she was being targeted. Giving the sigal a last look, she shivered, rushing after the young dark haired novice.

((yayness)) ALina jumped as she heard the Mistress of Novice's voice behind her. She curtsied very deeply and blushed.. "yes Aes Sedai, i'm sorry, i have been such trouble, i...i..." she sighed and walked along next to Vancelle Sedai. She kept her eyes on the ground, a total picture of meekness, for, that was what she was, meek. This woman had seen her at her worst, at her best, and all the times in between. she hoped she wouldnt get in much trouble, it wasnt all her fault. she DID bond Dupre, okay, that was bad, was it really that bad? she DID save the Tower from Mesaana, with the help of Mercury Sedai, and Wolf, and Hawk Gaidin, and Alna....she looked longingly at her horse as they left the stables, she had tried to run away as a novice, once, becuase the training was to hard, and she had pulled a prank on the WRONGE Aes Sedai, and was set to wash the floors of the kitchens. her bum was sore for weeks after that. ((remeber all a randland week is 10 days *SCERAMS*)) she quckly turned around and fallowed Vancelle Sedai. "erm...vancelle SEdai, i..i...are you going to make me unbond Dupre?" that last came out in such a rush she was not sure that the Mistress of Novices had understood her. She looked at the Aes Sedai, her yellow eyes, usually shinning becuase of some prank she had done, or becuase she was just happy, wer dull with the thought of losing him. she could feel her sadness of that reflect through the bond. he must be worring over the same thing. she thought sadly.
