Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raznon bowed to the Aes Sedai and Warder alike but only smiled. It probably would give them something to do...but...this could only add more to the flames... He sighed openly and then turned to Clarissa.

"As you say Aes Sedai...but with all due respect the final decision is not yours nor mine to make...it is the Amrylin's. And if not her...then it would be brought to the Hall and that I would like to avoid for the sake of time. I think that you are right though...while some will not be happy about it...they will follow my orders."

He looked towards the Amrylin and then looked out the window.

"But I dont think Derrid will stay...no matter what I say...he has taken...a sort of...warder or bodyguard role...and he wont be easily persuaded."

He then looked at the Clarissa.

"I await your command Amrylin...until you give me such command I will go and prepare the Shadow Guard for thier duty."

He walked out of the room and as he stepped out another man in the dark clothing of the Shadow Guard stepped in.

The guard stepped inside the study and then addressed the Aes Sedai, the Warder, and the Reverent Mother.

"I will be outside, Mother. What ever command you wish for the Siswai'm'heal, I will relay it to him."

He stepped out and stood at the ready at the outside of the Reverent Mother's Study.

As Raz walked outside he began to shout out orders to the Shadow Guard that had filed in ranks behind him. He stopped and addressed the three leaders and his second in command.

"I must leave you...as you will find out soon enough. I have important mission with the Amrylin. You all will be charged with the task of protecting the Tower and the Aes Sedai. This is what you live for now...now go and prepare for the worst."

Instantly all four men dispersed and began to shout orders. Before long the Shadow Guard were posted all over the city and all over the Tower. There were Siswai'drin upon the ramparts and they only had one thought. Protect the Tower...and all Aes Sedai.

Raznon then made his preparations for the journey.

Mairyela sighed. "With the Shadow Guards, as well as all those who are coming along, we should be safe. Yet I still worry. The Seanchan are unpredictable, and with Romvian about, we cannot do a proper search of the mindset of the Empress. Romvian will also probably have some sort of trap laid out for us when he discovers our plans-should he discover them. I have just been troubled with all thats happened for these past few days. All is happening at once, and I just hope we have enough time to plan our next moves." Pausing, she smiled and shook her head. "That is my only concern. Please do not worry any about what I am thinking. All will be well." Curtsying, she said, "With your leave, Mother, we had best go prepare ourselves and the others. Skiiy, is there anything you would like to add?"

((Oi! hey guys, erm...me and kaki are still in the kitchens...you never picked us up so we have no idea whats going on...and erm...isnt the emperass dead anyways?*ish confvsed*))

((You suck Alina, I haven't read books 7-11, and you just ruined that for me. However, this RP seems to have started before she died, so...))

"I'll get the angreal and sa'angreal and Alina." She says to all of them and leaves. Walking down the stairs she makes her way to the kitchen. She enters and nods her head at the mistress of the kitchens curtsy. She sees Alina and ignoring all the novices gasps at seeing the Amrylin so close goes to greet her. "My children please that is enough go back to work." She said regarding to their curtsies. "Alina if you would come with me?" She said gesturing to the door.

Bowing as the Amyrlin left the room, she couldn't help but smile. Turning, she beamed at Skiiy. "Finally, after all this work, we may finally get some of the answer's we've been after." Smoothing her skirts, she got her emotions under control. She was, after all, Aes Sedai. "Enough of that for now, though. We both have packing to do." Walking out of the Amyrlin's study, she headed in the direction of her room. Glancing back at Skiiy, she cried, "Let's meet outside on the front steps in about an hour. Will that be enough time?"

Skiiy shrugs and waves as Mairyela goes in the direction of her room. His first response had been to follow her, wait, and help her carry her luggage down, but for some reason, he felt she'd want to do it herself. Having nothing to pack, he decides that in the end, the best route would be to go get some warders to go along.

Arriving at the Training Yards, he assembles some of the highest ranking Gaidin, including a few blademasters. "Alright, we'll be going on a journey deep into Seanchan territory, and since the Shadow Guard or whatever they're called will be here protecting the Tower, I want the five of you along with us. The only reason I ask this of you is because the Amyrlin will be with us, and since Yurin is out of commission..." The five turn their eyes towards the ground at the mention of their fallen comrade "I thought having a little extra protection along wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, we're going after their boss, and since our boss will be there, we can't take any chances. I want you ready in five minutes." The Warders nod and immediately head in the direction of their quarters.

Clarissa smiled at Alina. She thought she was in trouble again. "My child your are not in trouble we need your help on a visit to the Seanchan. You can help me make gateways. We may need more than one person to do that so you are being asked to come along." Clarissa said to Alina. "If you have any questions ask now then go pack."
