  1. The child was trying to maintain her composure but a small smile had escaped her lips as Valeri set the bundle on Novice whites in her lap. She tilted her head, deep in thought for a few moments when Valeri asked if she had any questions at all about her stay, “I've heard about the Library here. Are novices allowed in there? I mean just to see it.”

    Valeri suppressed a laugh and smiled instead as she responded, "Child, you will spend so much time studying in that library you will come to know it back to front."

    As she finished speaking there was a knock at the door. "Come" she said, raising her voice a little.

    The door opened to reveal a dark-haired Novice, the child stepped through the threshold and curtsied to Valeri. Seeing Charis seated in front of the desk, her bundle of white on her lap the Novice said, "I am to see her to her room, Valeri Sedai?"

    "Yes please child." Valeri smiled at the girl, perceptive this one. "This is Charis, please show her to one of the rooms that was freshly cleaned this week, then show her how to reach the Dining Hall and classrooms."

    The girl nodded as Charis rose from her seat and curtsied, white bundle in hand. "Thank you Valeri Sedai."

    Valeri smiled in response and then rose from her seat to call in the next girl on her list, "Oh and child," she said to the dark-haired Novice, "tell the first Novice you see to come to my study, she will escort the next girl."

    The children left and Valeri called the next name on her list.

  3. "No Aes Sedai. I am ready to begin."

    Valeri smiled, the girl had gumption. She reached down to her drawer that held the Novice Book and lifted the aged leather bound book up onto the desk top. She leafed through the pages to the most recent entries. Taking up her pen she smiled at Charis. "Charis can you tell me your full name, place of birth and your current age please."

    As the child spoke Valeri carefully recorded the details in the Novice Book, she finished the entry with her own signature, sealing Charis' life to the Tower."

    "Welcome to Tar Valon, Charis Delphi. Welcome to the White Tower, Novice Charis." Valeri allowed the full weight of the importance of those words to settle on Charis before she rose and fetched out a bundle on pristine white Novice requirements. Dresses, shifts, stock, slippers, belt and pouch - everything the lass would need to begin her life within the White Tower as a Novice.

    Valeri set the bundle into Charis' lap, then fished a wooden token carved with her own name on it from a jar on the desk. "When you have settled in, take this token to the Tower seamstresses and they will sew some things for you that will fit you properly."

    Taking her seat again Valeri lifted the small brass bell that sat her on desk. It rang quietly, but would summon the nearest Novice or Accepted to her study with the wards that she had laid on the bell many years before.

    "Before someone arrives to show you to your rooms Charis have you any more questions at all?" Valeri asked, "Now is your best opportunity. The coming days will be filled with lessons and chores."

  4. Valeri sat behind her desk, preparing reports for the Ayrmlin when there was a knock at the door. Without looking up she said "Come in."

     

    The door opened to reveal Amadine Sedai and Sora. She had been expecting the Novice, but Amadine was a surprise. The Novice moved to stand in front of her desk and dropped down into a practised curtsey. She kept her eyes downcast and said “I am here because I channeled against an accepted Valeri Sedai.”

    Valeri nodded, she had sent the Accepted involved off to the kitchens for a month of scrubbing posts with tears in her eyes and a sore bottom not ten minutes past. Valeri moved towards the door and stood there conferring with Amadine in hushed tones.

    "She shielded that girl Valeri, and the Accepted was already holding the One Power. That is quite a feat for a Novice. Despite the circumstances i believe her talent should be fostered. She has also shown herself to have some interest in Healing." Amadine said quietly and relayed the rest of what had happened. It appeared the Accepted had been quite truthful - which was well for her.

    Valeri nodded and replied in hushed tones, "I agree Ama, she will be punished for her infractions, and as part of her penance i will set her further lessons. We will not allow such talent to go to waste. Thank you for letting me know."

    Amadine thanked Valeri for her time, nodded to the wide-eyed Novice before leaving the room, pulling the door closed behind her.

    "Now Sora," Valeri began as she moved back around the desk as took her seat, Sora nervously plucked at her skirts, "Why don't you tell me what happened out in the stables today."

  5. Valeri nodded as the child spoke about her testing and the journey from Caemlyn to Tar Valon. And a brother already training with the Warders, interesting.

     

    The child were nervous, she held herself well though Valeri knew the signs intimately as a vestige of meeting so many young women. Another may have missed the slight widening of Charis eyes, the twitch of her hands on the teacup as she consciously willed herself to remain calm. The child would do well.

     

    "You have been instructed of the rules in the White Tower, yes?" Valeri asked. The lass nodded and Valeri continued, "Once you are shown how to embrace Saidar you must never, ever do so unless supervised by an Accepted or an Aes Sedai. There are harsh penalties for infractions against this rule. The reason being that with out supervision you may injure yourself or others. You can have the ability to channel burned from you, or even die from mishandling Saidar."

     

    Valeri did not enjoy frightening her newest charges, but it was important that they have a healthy respect for Saidar and it's dangers.

     

    "You must remain on the Tower grounds at all times, Novices are not permitted into the city at all, and nor are they permitted to visit the Warder's Yards. I know your brother is training there and you may send him a message to meet with you in the gardens if you have the opportunity for some free time, but Novices rarely have free time."

     

    Valeri lifted her cup again and sipped her tea. "Have you any questions for me before we make your stay in the White Tower more permanent Charis?"

  6. “Yes Aes Sedai. I am pretty sure the second weave you laid on the child was a healing weave but what was the first. It seemed simpler then the first but I still am not sure what it was? Also with no disrespect intended Aes Sedai but aren’t you mad or disappointed in me for my actions? Because it seems as though you act as nothing has happened.” The last words were spoken in a nervous voice and Amadine nodded thoughtfully.

    "You are right. The second weave a was a Healing. The first was called Delving. It tells the Aes Sedai what is ailing the patient she is treating, and from there the Sister can direct the Healing as is required by the sickness or injury."

    The pair walked quietly through the gardens back towards the Tower. "Sora, I am disappointed in your behaviour, but i understand your actions also. And child, it is not for me to judge or punish you. That is for the Mistress of Novices."

    They entered the Tower proper and continued walking, Amadine leading the way towards the study of the Mistress of Novices. "Valeri Sedai is both strict and fair. You have broken the rules and for that you must be punished - to ensure you understand the danger you have put both yourself and that Accepted in, but she will take into consideration the circumstances also. Worry not child, all will be well."

  7. Valeri smiled and put of her hand. "You need not sign child, i will fill in the details."

     

    Dora appeared reluctant to hand back the quill but did so after a few moments. "Now Dora, can you tell me your full name, place or birth and current age please."

     

    As the lass recited the details Valeri carefully penned them into the Novice Book. She finished the entry with her own signature and set the quill back on it's stand. Closing the Novice Book Valeri looked up at Dora and smiled, before speaking the words that bound her to the White Tower, "Welcome to Tar Valon, Dora Farlee. Welcome to the White Tower, Novice Dora."

     

    Valeri rose from her chair and fetched out a bundle of Novice whites from the large wardrobe that stood in the corner of her study. Dresses, shifts, stockings, slippers, belt and pouch. Everything Dora would need to begin her new life a Novice with the White Tower. She set the bundle on the edge of her desk beside Dora and fished a wooden token from a jar on her desk. She placed the token in Dora's hand before retaking her seat.

     

    "These things will see you through your first few days Dora, but take the token to the seamstresses and they shall measure you and make you shifts and dresses to fit properly."

     

    "Have you any questions before i have someone see you to your new room?"

  8. Valeri heard the telltale quiet chattering of girls and the sterner voice of an Aes Sedai through her closed study door. The messenger had arrived with a list of names and descriptions some half hour gone, and now the group had arrived. Valeri poured a fresh cup of tea for herself and set another on the desk across from her own chair when the next potential Novice would be seated. The blue Seafolk Porcelain clinking slightly as she placed the cup on it's matching saucer. She waited a few more moments to allow the chattering girls to calm themselves after the long journey, then glancing at the list of names she pulled open the heavy timber door and looked over the girls for the first time. She saw the auburn haired lass and said "Charis Delphi."

     

    The child appeared startled but stood and curtsied. She nodded in response and Valeri beckoned her into the study. "You may sit child." Valeri said indicating the chair. She made her way back to her own chair before the large ornate desk and sat. She lifted her teacup and sipped the smooth Saldaean blend that always reminded her of her childhood.

     

    The child's eyes were flicking about the study, taking in everything they saw. They settled on the steaming teacup placed before her. Valeri smiled "That tea is for you lass. Perhaps you could tell me about yourself and how you have come to be at the White Tower."
