Mercury finished with the paperwork that was important; a lot of it had been repeats of the same thing from different people. She recalled the great clock chiming seventh rest a quarter of an hour ago, so she decided that she had enough time before dinner to attempt figuring out what the Dream meant. She walked down to the Library, and asked a Brown for a book on symbology.

Mairyela could have kicked herself! Staring at the tied dragon - it's rider unconcious on the ground next to it - she shook her head. It was that or let him get away. Either way, they'd have known we were here. She was sure Skiiy would have a few things to say about what she had done.
Embarassed, and a bit ashamed, she avoided looking directly at anyone as she strode over to the man. The dragon roared and hissed at her as she neared, but she paid it no mind. The beast was held fast. Giving the man a thorough look to make sure the fall hadn't killed him, he began to remove his armour. A plan was slowly forming in her mind.
"Skiiy," she called to her Warder, "would this armour fit you? If we can't walk into the palace, we'll sneak in."

Skiiy walks over to the man and nudges his body with his foot, turning him over. "Pathetic...he deserved worse. The man had no honor, the sniveling worm. I think I can fit into the armor, and I may know what youre thinking. It goes something like this. I will, dressed in his armor, escort the group to the castle under the pretense of having captured you. Once inside, we can do whatever we need to to get to the throne room, assuming the Empress refuses to see the prisoners. From there, I think we will have to improvise. Sound good?"

Alina saw what they were doing with the man and his armour and jumped of the cart, running to them. walking around the dragon- the animal was even more beautiful closer up- a question accured to her, "what about the Dragon? and, also we dont even KNOW if they call them dragons here!" she raped a knot of Air around the dragons muzzle and walked over to it. The first rule to taming a horse was getting it used to your touch. She lightly touched its foreleg. the animal stirred, but could not move agianst Mairyela's bonds. It watched her with its big eye. "its okay..."she murmered in what she hoped was a sooting voice. If you let a horse know you were afraid of it, it would attack you the first chance it got. she had a small way with animals, but she had heard of another Accepted in the Tower who had a Talent for making animals like her. She did not. she could not "reach out" to the Dragon with her mind like she could with teh Wolves, she was a woflsister, not a dragonsister. she chuckled at that thought. "hey he isnt so bad..." she was really not afraid of it.

Raznon only nodded in response then sent a cue to two of the Siswai'drin. They came and grabbed both of the captives and then walked them up before the warder and Aes Sedai. Raznon flowed up silently behind them.
"Mairyela Sedai...what shall I do with those that were being chased. As you can see...I have them gagged and tied. Shall we dispose of them? Though hopefully...without any blood shed."

"Those prisoners...why do we have them gagged? I thought we should maybe ask them what was happening, as well as the man chasing them, and see if we can't discern the truth of the situation..."

Alina quickly and ungaged the two prisoners. "maybe...maybe we should first ask them what this is called here?" she pointed to the Dragon that was still eyeing her, and now the others.
((sorry guys, short post i just found out that a friend of mine died this past week in Lebanon...))

Raznon signaled and the two Siswai'drin released the two people then quickly melted into either side of the road. We will not be caught by anymore surprises... Raznon offered a bow and stepped back to allow the Aes Sedai room.
"Of course Aes Sedai. As you command."
He continued to watch the little interrogation but mostly watching Alina.

((I'm sorry to hear that, Alina. Sorry I haven't posted much either. I've been busy with work... scream I hate work!))
Mairyela nodded at Skiiy. "You truely are a mind reader, Skiiy. If you tell them we're trespassers, which I'm guessing they aren't fond of, the Empress will more than likely come to see us. At least I hope so. If not, we can use whatever means necessary."
From the corner of her eye, she watched Alina aproach the Dragon. She heard her comment as she stroked the animal. "It's not so bad...tied up. I would hate to see it cornered and unteathered!" she commented to her. The animal would be a problem though. They couldn't just leave it.
As the other prisoners were broght before them, she could only sigh, rubbing the bridge of her nose. This was not the entrance I was hoping for...
As soon as the gags were removed, the couple began pleading with them to let them go. "Please," the man cried, "we have done nothing wrong! Let us go, we beg of you!" The woman was so afraid she couldn't utter a word. Placing a hand over the man's mouth, Mairyela hushed him. "We are not your enemies! Believe me when I say we won't hurt you. We only want some information."
Uncertain, the man did stop talking. Hands on hips, she nodded. "Good." She decided to get the obvious out of the way first. "What in the Light is that thing?" She pointed over to the animal.
The man shuddered, then uttered, "Raken."
"Ok," she said, staring back at the beast. It seemed to be growing agitated with its captivity. Turning back, she said, "I don't care what you did to have that thing after you, but we need your help. If you refuse, I may have to let Raznon and his men do what they will." She waved a hand at the Aiel, indicating who she ment.
((That's all I can do for now. I found the info on the Raken here: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~melmoth/gc18.html ))

Raznon sniffed a bit at being used for a threat but made sure to act the part well enough. He soon began to move down the road and watched the skies. He then went from the skies to the surrounding area. Soon the forest gave way to rolling plains and he did not like what he was seeing. From that high up those things, that reminded him of the marks on Sept Chiefs arms, could spot them from a good distance off. He sighed as he spotted movement of the Siswai'drin as they made thier way towards him. Foolish wetlanders...why did they not get the concept of still walking yet... He shook his head and headed back towards the camp.

Alina glance at Raznon, he dosent seem to like that...humph...well he is threating..i wonder where Kakashi went? still petting the...Raken...she looked it in the eye. "you arn't that bad...just like a big..scaly...odd looking horse..." she did what she had been tough, she picked up its head under the chin, and blew softly into its nostrals. "there, now you know my scent! that way, you will learn to like me..." yellow eye met yellow eyes. Human, to lizard. "do'nt blink much do ya buddy? i wonder what your name is? do they name Ra...Raken?" the word was odd in her mouth. She scratched it above its eye. It seemed to sooth the animal. "like that dontcha?" she giggled. "hey! Raznon! i think it likes me!" she giggled again.

Raznon strode up to the Raken and looked it over. He then smiled at Alina, I suppose I am becoming more of a wetlander everyday...sooner or later I will be as lazy...I cannot be Aiel...and not wetlander...so what can i be? He did not know why but for some odd reason he started to get a...smell...of fear from those people he had caught.
"Good for you Accepted Alina. Odd..."
He looked away from her to the villagers and shook his head. What am I becoming?

((ooo can i play on that smell???))
Alina turned, her smile slightly fading, she cocked her head to the side as she looked at Raznon, he smelled...confused...and...somthing she could not identify, but it was pungent, it made her rub her nose. "whats odd Raznon?" she rubbed her nose again, glancing at the capatives, she would not call them prisnoars for they were not, she then murmred, "scared, why are they still scared? and whats that...i think they...are they in awe?? its so...thick...yet..soft..." shaking her head she turned to Raznon, he smelled confused still, "and what are you confused about?" blood and ashes! i didnt mean to say that! now he is going to think i am crazy or somthing...or he might just deny it...knowing men... she studied him while waiting for his ansewr. sad! thats what that smell is...i kind of sadness...like...sadness for the inevitable...like...he knows somthing bad is going to happen...and he is sad he cant do anything about it...its not stright forward sadness thats why i couldnt smell it at first... she rubbed her nose even harder, she hated the smell of sadness, it was the first thing she had ever learned how to identify, sadness when she herself was bundled up and sent away for the Tower. Leaning on her quarterstaff she tried to look 'casual,' and failed misrably.
