Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mairyela watched and listened with a heated glare towards the woman as she described her precious plans. Lax in control? The Tower may not have been as powerful as it once had been in Ages long gone but with the cleansing of Saidin, male channelling was no longer something to be feared. And who had been the ones who had found the Dragon Reborn? She felt a swell of pride that the woman had been of her own Ajah. The Tower was still something to be respected. As far as power went, there were no others greater.

About to respond her thoughts to the no doubt Black sister, the womans fire whip lashed towards her head. She crouched quickly, her fathers training from years back not having lost their merit. She still felt the heat of the flames as it passed her by, burning wayward strands of hair and singeing her shawl. She countered with a flash of lightning as the woman was nearly engulfed by her own Gateway. It struck the womans shoulder, a low enough power that she would not die. There were far too many questions left unanswered. She was suprised when Zeara stayed on her feet, albeit dazed, and shook it off as though it were nothing. It was then she saw two things; first being the weave of air and spirit around the Black, acting as a shield, no doubt woven to protect her from the flames of the Gateway. The other was the Keeper standing in her doorway, looking frustrated, angry and worried all at once.

Glancing back to the ex-Green, Mairyela growled, "I care not for your foolish desires. It is my responsibility as Mistress to protect the girls of the Tower, and my duty as a Blue to make sure justice is served. I may not be First Selector, or as strong as you, but it will be done." Embracing more of the Power than she ever had, head dizzy from the rush of strength, she again threw lightning at the woman.

Though she was still irritated for the most part, Hawk sensed Mercury's relief and satisfaction at seeing Zeara's escape thwarted, even if it was the same reason she was unable to participate. He could sense her focusing her mind, ready to grab hold of the Power and intervene in the fight if the need arose.

Zeara was going to pay dearly at Mercury's hands. It was a pity that Azalea wasn't here, for she would truly have made the Black regret ever betraying the Tower. But her methods were not Mercury's, and while hers weren't quite as suited to breaking a person, they were still effective. Her escape was blocked, so she would have to fight her way through to the end. Even if she somehow defeated Mairyela, she still had Mercury to contend with, and Hawk as well. Grown lax indeed! If only she knew how much work I and the Mother put in for all those nations that supposedly don't listen to us! She wondered if it would be possible to take Zeara alive,

((Merry X'mas Maya and to everyone, Its been awhile since i Rped..gosh, it took awhile to make something))

Hawk watched as the black sister tried to make her escape. He chuckled but his lips showed only a wolf grin out of his icy cold face. Markis is doing well with his opponent. His senses are strengthened with the void and saidin near his grasp. He is one with his sorroundings, one with the burned carpet on the floor where he stands to the clanging metal between Aiken's dagger and Markis's sword. From the frustration coming from his aes sedai to the intense battle around him. He put aside Markis coat and face the other warder watching him carefully. Hands at ease on his side ready for combat.In differential from his weapon brother he is wearing a light armor and twin long blades marked with heron. One dangling where his sword arm is at moment and another on his back. Right now he just watch, aware of what is happening around him and at the same time of the emotions coming from his aes sedai throbbing at the outskirts of the void.
