Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reaching her chambers in only a few minutes, she opened the door, looked around, then closed it firmly behind her. There was a need to be cautious these days. Her room was simple. A small wooden bed sat in the corner of the room next to a wide window. A small nightstand stood within arms length of the bed, on top of which sat a fine Sea Folk vase. She had gathered a few flowers nearly two weeks ago, but the three red roses were still in full bloom.

Across the room was what she needed. A sturdy backpack, made of light cow hide, lay on a claw fotted chair. Her dresser was next to it. Pulling out the first drawer, she began her packing, stuffing shifts and a few dresses inside. Opening the second drawer, she collected a few new strings for her bow, as well as a dozen arrows. She had little in clothes, only enough for a week. This drawer also held beeswax, feathers, shafts, and a beltknife. All but the latter went into her bag as well. Picking the blade up, she inspected the hilt. She had found it one day on her travels, in the middle of a vast field. Why anyone would not take care of it was a question. The knife was beautiful. With an ivory hilt, it was carved with rising sun's and roses, the sun's covered in gold foil. The blade was sharp as any razor, and had never needed sharpening. She suspected it had been made by the Power. Along it edge sat a feirce beast. A dragon. She guessed they may see a few of those animals in the Seanchan Islands. Deciding it for the best, she took it and hid it away inside her bag. Pulling the drawstring tight, she tied it and flipped it onto her shoulder. Placing the extra arrows into her fletch, she adjusted her bow, then glanced outside. The sun hadn't even moved. She estimated maybe fifteen minutes had passed. Shrugging to herself, she walked from the room and headed towards the front doors.

"The Seanchan have something to do with the attacks that put Yurin into the state he is now." Clarissa said to Alina. She would make a great Aes Sedai when he time came for her to take the test. "You may bring a friend and some of the shadow guard, Skiiy, and Mairyela are coming as well as a few others. Anything else?" She asked.

Raznon and his entourage of Shadow Gaurd head to the meeting spot where Skiiy and some other Warders are waiting. As they get up to them one of the Siswai'drin mutter something about warders but Raznon lets him say it. Hopefully one of these warders will thump him good for his insolence...fool... While the three Siswai'drin stay a little ways off in thier own little circle Raz walks up to Skiiy and waves.

"Hello Skiiy...Good day Blade Masters. So when do we leave?"

Standing at Raznon's arrival, Skiiy stretches luxuriously, yawning loudly while he's at it. "Hey there Raznon. Not sure when we're leaving, but since there're two of us here now, can't be much longer, can it?" Raznon...his Shadow Guard was probably no match for the Warders one-on-one, but if there was one thing they did that the Warders could never do, it was fight as a group. A group of individuals wouldn't be able to compete with that...

Suddenly, he felt pain, though not all of it came through the bond. Mairyela...her friend...and Yurin...Romvian will pay. Skiiy suddenly realizes his hand is hurting nd looks down to find himself clenching his fingers into his palm in rage. Throwing off thoughts of vengeance, he smiles at Mairyela as she enters. "Hey Mairyela...are you okay?"

Walking up behind Alina almost silently, Kakashi spoke not quite loudly, but most certainly not in a soft manner, "So who might this friend, this Warder in training, be? Hmm?" He chuckled a bit and set his quarter staff firmly against the ground to his right and leaned on it. "I'm sure you wouldnt plan on bringing any of those half-trained bumpkins with you to this Seanchan place. Sounds dangerous." With a broad smile, it seemed that the half-trained comment was partially directed at himself, as well as the other Warders in training.

"Whatever you might need for the journey. It's your call. Met us in the training yard." Clarissa turned and made a gateway to her rooms making sure to keep it away from where Yurin was laying. She changed into traveling clothes but packed a couple nice dresses as well because she had to keep up appereances. She grabbed her dagger and a few other things before grabbing all the saddle bags and walking over to the coach Yurin layed upon. She kissed his forehead and left. She toke her angreal necklace from her pocket and put it around her neck. Walking down to the training grounds she greeted everyone.

"well, kakashi, we should BOTH pack. here i will help you get to your quarters faster," she went out back to where she had found the puppy and found that he was still there. picking up the little pup, she held him in her arms as she weaved a gateway to the door in front of the Warders quaters. "see you soon!" she said with a wave. after kakashi had gone through she closed it almost all the way and altered the weave, opening up to her own quaters. "come now pup" she said looking down at her new found friend, "i must pack and think of a name for you." the pup barked as she steaped into her rooms and closed the gateway behind her. setting the puppy down on her bed she rifled through her jewlery box and found a dog coller she kept 'just in case.' it was right next to her cat collar and her bird tags. she looked at the dog with his tail wagging and said "your name...hmmm....well, from the looks of you, you wont be to big, so Mandarb wont really fit...how 'bout, Jain! i always liked that book!" she wove a thin thread of Fire and insribed 'Jain' on the leather collar, she also added another hole, then put it around the pups neck. "now little Jain, i dont know how long i will be gone, so i will set up your food with a weave that will slowly dissapate over a few weeks so that each day enough food will fall out for you okay?" the dog gave her a sideways look and barked agian. Alina laughed. she always liked having a dog more then a cat. "now, lets see..." she went to her closet and took out a good green dress that she had bought a few weeks before and put it on. it was wool, and not decorated at all. then she took out two yellow dress, one slashed with a paler yellow, and the other a silk one, that she had came to the Tower in years before. she was rather surpised it still fit her! she had mainly green and yellow dresses, since those were the Ajahs she was debating on. most Accpeted knew which Ajah she was going to pick by this stage, but alina was stil not sure. she was leaning more twords yellow now, so she added a yellow belt and pale yellow stockings. her shoes were brown leather of corse. into her belt pouch went her Tar'Angreal that was shaped like a wolf howeling at the moon. she added the dresses and 4 more shifts to her small bundle, and then added a fancier wool dress with a little embordery of flowers and scroll work around the high collar, and on the bell of the sleeves to the bundle. After all, they were going to be a delegation to the Emparess of Seanchan Might she NOT live forever Alina thought biterly. after what they had done to Yurin? HA! and then weaved the weave for the dog and opened a gateway to the training yard. "Hello all!" she said merrliy the dog almost got through the gateway before she pushed him back with a weave of air and closed it.
