Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kuro finished with Aradoa's last button and turned around for Aradoa to help with hers. Aradoa stepped out of her dirty novice dress and helped her friend undress.

"And to think we have a week's more of it. Oh Kuro, my hands are going to fall off from all the scrubbing!"

Kuro giggled. "I think mine already did." She turned around and showed Aradoa her hands. Aradoa in turn showed hers, and they both laughed.

"Well I had better be getting to my own room. I'm going to wash up and try to salvage my hair before bed. Goodnight, Aradoa." They hugged each other and Kuro walked over to the door, peeking her head out. She clutched her dirty novice dress and bolted to her door in her shift. Aradoa closed the door behind her fleeing friend.

(thank you for keep my character up, I lost my internet last night XD)

Kuro dropped wearily into her own bed. She was so exhausted she couldn't even find the energy to discuss the days events with her new friend. She rolled over and though about Cirithil. She had been quite pleased when he beat her, and kept her from falling to the ground. As she drifted off to sleep she wondered if he would still be unbonded when she became Aes Sedai.

Kuro groaned when she heard Aradoa's soft whisper. Her entire body hurt after the one day of cleaning, she felt rather ridiculous she was not that soft of a girl. Moaning she rolled off the bed and began to gather her clothing. "I am awake." She grumbled back at the wall.

"Good Morning Aradoa." She yawned and stretched as they made their way down the hall towards the dining hall.

Aradoa mumbled a goodnight to Kuro, staggering into her room. She didn't even bother undressing or even sharpening her knife before falling wearily on top of her bed. She was asleep before her body even hit the bed.

Cirithil found several more white-garbed Fades, all falling before they saw him. The had not expected a Warder, only Novices or Servants. He turned a corner, and saw something different. A Fade still in black stood outside one of the Novice doors. This one saw him. The two began combat. The Fade showed clear suprise when caught against an opponent weilding two swords rather than one. Cirithil soon cut its throat, making sure it couldn't warn others. It had said nothing during the fight, only grinned with eagerness, for Cirithil's blood. He turned to the door it had been guarding. Time to take a chance, he thought with a grin. Light, if I'm wrong...

He quickly opened the door with a kick, and hit the figure in front of him with the pommel of his sword, knocking it out. His jaw dropped when he saw its ageless face. "Not good...I just hit an..." He shook his head and looked to the bed. There Kuro sat. He bowed quickly, and looked to the window rather than her. "My apologies, there were Fades...I though that she was..." He continued with such attempts at explainations, turning just slightly pink.

Cirithil was furious, and what little Saidin he had access to flew through him. He stood up again, both swords drawn. The steel was nearly white with heat, and the air around them seemed to bend light as though the blades where an inferno. Suddenly, flames errupted at the Black's dress, and Cirithil lunged forward, his blades flickering towards the Black. She turned suddenly, suprised even herself that Cirithil had stood, much less that her dress was fiery. To much had to be done to quickly, and before she could finish her weave of air, Cirithil's swords had sank into her neck, steam rising from them. His swords cut deep, and burned the surrounding flesh. When Cirithil realized what had happend, he looked to Kuro, "Wake girl!" He said loudly, "Wake! There are Shadowspawn in the Tower, Saldaean! Do you still have enough of your homeland in you to draw blades against them?"
