She wants me to tell of my journey, but from when? I was sick, we left the farm, or the more recent issues with Krell.  She only read the original letter that I gave to the Accepted.  Maybe I can destroy the second letter- I am sure it has some nasty surprises in store for me- as Meaghany Sedai was not too happy when she wrote that second letter.  Maybe if I bore her with details of the beginning of the “journey” she will dismiss me and let me go to eat because I am hungry.  I am always hungry. Well here goes:

“My journey, Valeri Sedai, started when I was thirteen.  My family and I lived on a farm at the outskirts of Caemlyn.  My father’s name is Rondell and my mother’s name is Lyniya and I have five brothers: Rondell “Junior,” twenty-six; Jeziah “Jezz,” twenty-four; Soloqui “Qui,” twenty-one; Kendral “Ken,” nineteen; and Krellin “Krell,” seventeen. We were younger then.” Duh. She obviously knows that. Mei thought.

“I was very sick when Meaghany Sedai and Gaidin Danir came to our farm during a fierce winter storm for shelter.  It was so bad that the queen had ordered the city gates shut against the wind and snow.  So, no one could go in or out for the duration of the storm.” She knows that, too. Come on stop acting like she’s an idiot.

“So, anyway the Wisdom, Jaxyniah, had been called out to be my mom’s midwife.  I was born very sick.  My mom needed someone to take care of me while she kept house for the six men.  My mom and Jaxyniah were childhood friends.  They both grew up in the same part of Caemlyn.  My mom got married to a farmer and moved outside. Jaxyniah got married to her profession and became a Wisdom with a small chateau in the city. Jaxyniah got lonely so she invited her twin sister, Jennifiah and her family to live with her. When I was born, everything changed.  Jaxyniah talked to Jennifiah her sister, and they agreed that the house would be both of theirs equally.  Jaxyniah because she was the original owner, who bought the house and furnished it till this point. Jennifiah because she was going to be the one who will maintain it and live in it from hence forth-with the provision that Jaxyniah can come back whenever she wants.” 

Just saying this was shocking to me.  I had never known any of this until recently, like within the last two weeks, when Junior and Jezz told me.

“So it came to pass that, Jaxyniah, came to live with us. She is my best friend.  I miss her, so. Sniffle,” Mei is determined to keep that second letter out of the hands of the Mistress of Novices.  So, instead of wiping her nose-as her handkerchief is in the same side of her jacket as the second letter and she is holding that closed-she snuffles her nose.

“Anyway, Junior told me that my dad introduced everybody and that my mom asked Meaghany Sedai to please come and heal me.  I don’t remember too much about it except the healing itself.  I will never forget that. She put her hands beside my head, then the pain, then it was done.  Fast.” Mei shivered.

“However, I do remember mom and dad arguing that night. My bedroom is right next to theirs.  They kept their voices down but I can always tell when they are arguing, mom’s voice gets really high pitched and dad just stops talking altogether, well only one word replies.” Mei had been reciting her story looking at the floor. Now she carefully peeked at Valeri Sedai to see what Valeri Sedai’s reaction would be to this little tidbit.  It was not good. She had such a stony look that even a Warder would be proud of.  Mei shifted her feet, coughed and continued…

“Well, after the storm blew over, Meaghany Sedai and Gaidin Danil left for Caemlyn and that was the last I’d heard of them, until recently.” Mei took a deep breath to continue with her story, hoping to fill in the time between the two visits. Mei thought: None of this would have happened if my parents had sent me to the tower when they were supposed to.  I would be two years learning how to use the One Power by now.  I would be someone. Or so she thought.  Not Rsome beggar who is looking for help.  It’s either the White Tower or the Queen’s Dungeons for me. “but that comes later in my story, let me fill you in with the other details.  They are very important for you to understand the rest of my story…”

Mei was so concerned about not telling, Valeri Sedai, the real reason for her trip to the White Tower that Mei didn’t realize that she had vocalized her thoughts earlier and Valeri Sedai knew something was up.

“Really,” Valeri Sedai said, tapping her foot and giving Mei a sharp look.

Mei flushed a deep red.  She wondered if she had vocalized her last thoughts.  If she did, then she knew she was in deep trouble.  She shuffled her feet a little more and struggled to hold the other letter a little better hidden, and then the unthinkable happened: the other letter fell out from under her jacket. Before Mei can react Valeri Sedai picks it up.

(ooc please pick up letter read it  and then hand back to me. it will say in letter to have me read it.   )

As Mei showed the Accepted her letters to the Mistress of Novices with Meaghany Sedai’s seal on it, she reflected on her trip to the White Tower:

There was no farewell feast or joyous get together.  I was given four hours to pack my things and then it was time to be off.  Meaghany Sedai oversaw my packing.  When I tried to pack my nice dresses, Meaghany Sedai would take them from me and throw them on the ground, “You will have no use for these at the tower, girl.” She spoke, harshly. “You will be wearing novice white for many a year, I fear. IF you ever become Accepted.” I was so scared.  Even though Meaghany Sedai had healed me when I was younger, I am still afraid of her, she can use the One Power.  Wait, she said, “You would be wearing novice white.” And she was talking to me. So, that means I must be able to use the One Power as well. Well, Well.  And I remember the smile that slipped past my bleakness.  Meaghany Sedai saw it as well.  “Oh, so you just realized what this all means now do you.” She said, holding my mouth shut with the One Power for a second, then letting it go. “Yes, that’s right! I can do it.  You only have the Potential. Now move.” And with that order came an invisible slap on the rear.  I left four hours later, on the dot.

Meaghany Sedai did not leave with us.  She had to stay behind to heal my brother and placate the queen.  So, we left by the north road to Tar Valon.  We had an escort of ten soldiers plus the Guard Captain and my two older brothers, Junior and Jezz.  It started off as a lonely journey, as they all knew what I had done to my older brother.  However, my brother’s soon relented, and started to speak to me again about a week into the journey.  The Guard Captain was a hard nut to crack, though.  He never spoke to me except when needed, so it was with great surprise when we reached the steps of the White Tower, he dismounted, took my hands, and said, “Guardsman Captain Trenthor, at your service Mei Kaylor.  If you have need of me, just send word and I will come.” Then he remounted, ordered his men to turn around and galloped out of the gates.  I was shocked to say the least.

This went through Mei’s head in a manner of seconds. The Accepted who she showed the letters to, took one look at the seal, gave a sharp nod of her head and said, “follow me, please.” Which she put into action by starting up the steps into the tower. She was halfway up the steps before she realized she wasn’t being followed, “Well come on, then. I haven’t got all day.” She said, tapping her foot on the steps.

Mei quickly turned to her older brothers-crying, “I’m sorry” into each of their chests.  “Please tell Krell, I am so sorry.  I will make it up to him some day, I promise.” Then she wiped her face, drank some water from her water skin-as she hadn’t let them take her pony away yet, wiped her face and set a determined pace after the Accepted.

As she followed the Accepted through the White Tower, she noticed all the Tapestries and Vases that were in all the corridors.  Finally, they got to one door and the Accepted knocked, “New Applicant, Aes Sedai.  With letters from Meaghany Sedai.” She said.  We heard a muffled, “Come in.”

Hi I have a brand spanking new novice to be rp'd if any one's interested...

Thank You....I had found a page that said you were supposed to put everyone but your characters words in italics, I've since lost it, but that was what I was going by. but its just as well, it was a pain going back and putting them in italics.....Thank you, again....

Patience is a virtue that must be learnt by everyone, especially me.

Thank You!!

OH, its not that.....It looked fine when I found you had posted it, except are we still supposed to italicise all words that aren't our main characters?? I read that somewhere and I did it but it's not done in above post??  I did not know if that is what is keeping someone from approving it or not? I guess I am just not very patient right now... doc messing with my meds a little anyway....I just need to be more patient I guess..........
