Raale took our the letter that he had yet to even read. He paused for a breif moment, then handed it over. "I had not yet read it, but the man said I was to go to a port south of Tar Valon, and await the an escort that would be sent by the king."

((Actually, I mentioned no letter, but you assumed it. Its fine though. I just felt that Rylean would not like having any part of his plan on paper, where others could find it.))
The letter was as follows:
"M'heal,
Arafel needs this man greatly. I cannot tell you why exactly, though perhaps it will suffice to tell you that this involves the Shadowfriends. We think there are some inside the White Tower itself, ones that plan to destroy the Tower, blaming our nation for the attacks. That is what all my information has been supporting. After this brief trip, he will return to the Tower, and never be called on again. He will serve you, and only you.
With respect and honor..."
The letter bore the king's seal, signature, and all the proper additional seals and titles.

((Actually you did mention the letter first, on the previous page "Rylean came in, with letters from the Arafellin king. They were not given willingly, but it did not matter." You did not mention that he had given them to Raale, but since you did not post their contents I had assumed they had been handed over. However it is a good thing you didnt have it signed from the king, because Paitar is technically still prince razz though taking on kingship. So thats why its fine that he is referred to that way, as it is just a few months from his ceremonies.))
The M'hael looked at the letter very inquisitively, stroking his chin as he read and re-read it, looking for clues hidden in between the lines. "Proper seals, proper signature and titles. However, this letter is clearly a forgery for a few facts. One, neither tower would blame any country for attacks to them, for both our towers know that no country can withstand our might. Second, Prince Paitar knows well that once a soldier reaches the tower he is not allowed to leave this place. Of course the lack of information is somewhat understandable in dealing with information about darkfriends for fear of interception, but normally the wording involves at least some hints. The only codes I can see within this script is that whoever managed to obtain this letter clearly wanted you to return to Arafel for whatever reasons. I will send ten men from the Red Haran Din to return this letter to Paitar and see what it was he wanted, if it were him. I will also send two members of the blue to the tower to let them know what we have found. Now both of you should report the training field at once before your late for your classes."
Falkonin lowered his head but kept his gaze on the M'hael, knowing never to take his eyes off of anyone. The bow was quite respectful though, and it was followed by an about face that lead Falkonin speed walking down to the first floor.

Raale bowed as well, in similar manner to Falkonin, though with his fist to his chest. He then followed Falkonin quickly. When he caught up, he turned to the man, "So, what is first?"

"First is the history of the towers, but don't think you'll be allowed to drift off to sleep. That is why they assign the class to the morning, they can weed off those who can't concentrate on what they are doing. Just wait until you get a history lesson after being forced to stay up all night, its worse than Shayoul ghul!"

"I see," Raale smiled, "So long as you don't plan on my getting all the way to Shayol Ghul in truth, I think I shall be fine. The warrior who tries to get that far into the Blight is the one with a spear in his back; a spear of an ally making sure he isn't killed by his shame of defeat."

"Really, I always thought you borderlanders all eventually went crazy and tried to get there to spit in sightblinders eye." The Aielman smirked at his joke.

"It is true," Raale sighed, "many of us do try to get deep into the blight in a single push. In truth, most of us see the battle with the Shadow as any other. We must push in little by little, else push so far that we can no longer maintain our forces." The man suddenly smiled, "I hear you Aiel are as mad as we! I've heard it said that you'd fight full battles for a drink of water!" Raale laughed, at both jokes, whether it seemed so or not.

"I have killed for a pool of water that was one foot by one foot and only three inches deep. What is so funny about that?"

Raale sighed, "I suppose it is a context thing. We fight the Blight to protect the world. Sometimes we forget that some must fight for their own survival before the survival of others."

A man, a youngling perhaps, rode into the camp. He nearly ran down the outer guards before he paused long enough to pass on his message. He was led straight to the M'hael's study. He only waited to be announced before he went in. He immediately kneeled, saluting formally. "I bear message from the White Tower, H'hael. It is no secret there is often strife between the Towers. The White Tower desperately needs your aid right now. There is a large-scale attack on the Tower. Shadowspawn and Darkfriends are pouring in through both gateways, and the Waygate. A Green Sister has already been killed, and there are rumors that the Keeper also is dead. The Tower is not made to be attacked from the inside, but that is what is happening."
