Mercuryangel When the great clock chimed eighth rest, Mercury sighed and shut the book. She told one of the Browns to hold it for her before going to the door where Hawk was standing.
"Well I certainly know more about symbols than I'll probably ever need...but nothing of that flame..." She sighed. That meant she'd probably get dinner and try to go back to sleep, perhaps explore the Dream a little more for hints.

Raznon heard what she named him and he decided what he saw was a wolf of some sort. He started to think on that image that came to him a moment ago. He continued to sense shadowspawn and he did not like it. He came back to reality and then looked at Alina.
"What animal leaves no tracks?"

"oh light!" Alina shivered, an animal that left no tracks, "wolves fear them, we HATE them, they are brothers and sisters turned by the shadow, no wolf will tell you what they are called...but i will, but only once...so listen...the are called DarkHounds. They are Wolves that have been corrupted by the shadow, all wolves are good, they all 'walk in the light' but somtimes...some go bad, and those...those are darkhounds.."

Raznon only nodded and then moved off a bit. He did not know why but he actually was believing this more than what the Wise Ones had told him. You are not Aiel! You are a shadow runner from birth and should be cast back to your own kind! We banish you forever to the Dying Grounds. Do not come back! You are no longer Aiel! He remembered himself blindly running from his home and sept. He did not realize it but he let a lone tear fall down his face. He quickly wiped it and then masked his face. He turned and again he saw that dark beast that left no tracks looking at him. It was not here but he knew it was aware of him. He saw the difference from this one and the others. This one ran did not run blindly but with its own thought and free will. He shuddered and returned to reality. He fell to one knee and got back up a couple minutes later. He did not know why but he had to find this beast...this dark...brother.
"I...when do we leave...Wolfsister...I grow tired of waiting. Let us end this negotiation."

She paused a moment trying to decide whether to eat in her rooms or in the dining hall. The dining hall was closer at this point, so she made her way towards it. She took a random table and perfunctorily nodded to the first menu item the girl said. The novice then moved over to Hawk, waiting for his decision, while Mercury anxiously pondered on where the Amyrlin could have gone.

He glanced at the menue given by the girl and point out his order. He fixes his swordbelt so he can sit better and watch Merc as she ponder after something.

((Sorry for the lack of posting. The library here was closed for a few days and I couldn't get online scream ))
Mairyela looked over towards Alina as she called her name. Giving the girl a nod to show she had heard her, she decided instead to stay with the prisoners as Alina and Raznon began their conversation. Turning back to the prisoners, she sighed. They still seemed scared. She couldn't blame them, really.
"Ok, thanks for clearing that up for us," she spoke gently, trying to calm them. "We only need a few things of you. May we have some clothies of yours?" The man and the woman were both fairly thin and built; she suspected they were farmers. The two nodded vigorously. "Anything you want," the man said. "Just let us go!".
Nodding in satisfaction, she decided to see how far she could go. Inspecting the cart, which seemed to be fine except for a missing wheel, she nodded towards it. "We'll also need your horse and cart, as well as directions towards the Empresses palace." Thinking a moment, she smiled. "Well also need money."
"Anything!" the man wailed. He truely was afraid; she felt a bit sorry for him. "Take it all! Just don't hurt us!" His wife had long since burst into tears, and just continued to weep.
Walking over to the cart, she called to Alina. "Alina, I need you to invert your weaves and mine so we can fix this cart." She looked over at the men. "Using the One Power will be much faster than by hand."
((Hopefully that'll speed things up.))

Alina smiled at Raznon and went over to Mairyela. "oh...okay...i am not to good with earth, but Inverting is simple." she weaved Spirit, and talked as she did it, "even the weakest of Novices can do it, its quite simple, you basicly just weave the spirit in front of you and then move it on top of your head and settle it there. i found it easier if you do this." she moved her hands as if she were putting on a big hat. "i know it looks stupid, but it works in the beggining when you are first getting used to settleing weaves such as this on yourself."

Raznon watched as Alina...his wolfsister...talked of the Power. He watched as she made an odd gesture above her head but he only shrugged. He also studied the people of the cart. He realized a while back that no matter what the Aes Sedai said there was no doubt that they would run to the nearest authority and spill the water. He sighed and then waited for them to finish thier conversation with Mairyela Sedai. He walked up behind the Aes Sedai and stood silent waiting for the right moment to do what he planned. He'll never kill a farmer no matter what but striking them unconscious was no problem. The Siswai'drin were done with thier meal and were now watching him for thier next order.
"Mairyela Sedai forgive the intrusion but...what shall we do about myself? Unlike you Aes Sedai, warders, and the Siswai'drin I am no wetlander. From my...the Aiel histories...we did not follow Authur Hawkwing...I do not wish to jepordize the mission. If need be I will find my own path..."

Mercury suddenly came out of her reverie. "Hawk, do you have an hour or two to spare for the night? I need to go to Tel'ar'an'hoid again, but I think I'll use an angreal, instead of my own ability, and I need someone to wake me."

The Aes Sedai smiled as she watched Alina. It did look odd, but with the circumstances, she certainly wouldn't argue. Doing as Alina had instructed, she set about to work on the cart. She was almost finished with the work when Raznon came up to her.
She sighed as he finished his explination. "Well, I certainly don't want anyone to be out alone in a strange land, especially the Seanchan Island. Please, do what you need to do. I do not wish to force anything onto you. Just please stay with us. I don't want anyone left behind when we leave here."
((Sorry, that may be a bit vauge, but I'm not too clear on what you ment, Marine. I'm still working on the books, and that may be why. I just don't want to look stupid lol ))

((Well if im not mistaken when Hawkwings Empire faded or split he didnt have control of the Waste...i think...n well...Aiel did not go with the remenants that remained of his empire...so basically...since the Seanchan fled...they have never seen Aiel...or atleast these decendants...and Im going to find my...vision or wtvr...its on the island...since an Aiel doesnt seem to interest any of the ladies present...ill find myself a...wolfish friend...he he...))
Raznon nodded and began to think on the orders to be left. He nodded again confering what he had decided on and then went over to the Siswai'drin. He left the orders and then took what he needed. He began to realize that he could smell...emotions...such as the stink of fear...from the farmers. He smelled the confidence of Mairyela and the determination of Alina. He sighed and hoped this smell would lead him to where he needed to go. Otherwise he could leave behind a string of bodies.
"Mairyela Sedai...Wolfsister Alina...I will meet you at the...palace...that is the word. I may have...company when I return...the Siswai'drin are at your command. They will know how to find me if you need me to return immediatly. Farewell. Oh yes..."
Raz leans closer to Mairyela so only she can hear.
"The Siswai'drin are going to knock the farmers out. No matter what your orders...it is for the safety of the Tower and you. Farewell...May you always find shade and water."
With that Raznon took off into the forest toward the plains...towards the scent...that he knew he must follow.
