"The first thing that we need to do is to remove some of the stuff you have on." He waited for a few moments, basking in the air, while Tris followed his direction. "Ok. You have used some of the sword forms, and now we are going to go through them again, slowly. Remember how slow you were when they first taught them to you? Right, like that."

Tris removed all of his gear setting it slowly to the side some what unsure of himself now. He quickly fell into the basic forms with Rekinu: Parting Silk, flowed into Unfolding the Fan, and so on. The slow receptive movements where somewhat relaxing to Tris and he soon relaxed letting his body do the work.

Then Rekinu said: "Tris, what made you want to become a Tower Guard, and perhaps pledge yourself to an Aes Sedai?"

Tris was a little take aback. Oh how this story brings back memories.

"My brother was recruited by whitecloaks when I was a boy.. his hatred of channelers tore my family apart when a few years later my youngest sister went to the Tower as a novice. I pledged on that day that I wouldn't fall to his prejudices and that I would serve the light and the White Tower. I will fight the Shadow until my dying breath this is my vow to serve the sword and the Light."

Tris then reclined and studied his teacher awaiting an answer.

Tris,

A Talk of dreams

Tris and Torvus talk with Taia about why they serve

Tris woke an hour befor most of the recruits to a cool pre dawn light. Flexing his muscles to shake of the bed soreness he grabbed his long bow and quiver full of arrows; he also fitted his twin long daggers on a harness on his chest. Setting out to the practic range young Grimm set to trying to obtain the void. He had only recently learned the power of the void and since then the calm detachment had come easier and easier. Drawing an arrow from the quiver in a smooth motion he pulled fletching to cheek and released, immediatly he repeated the sequence in rapid sucession and at the final twang hiss all three arrows struck center at almost the same moment.

Better, much better, thought Tris.

Today he would be training with Rekinu a newly raised Tower Guard. He hoped the stealth training would make him a better warrior and Warder down the road.

Like a ghost Rekinu materialized out of the moring mist. Not the least bit startled Tris raised is fist in greeting.

"The Light favour your blade brother!"

Okay I posted I hope I got up to the time you wanted me to Eqwina... Thank you for letting me join the rp! I'm really enjoying it

It was a simple enough exercise Tris thought... really just an elaborate game of hide and seek he thought and oh how niave he was.

Tris set out behind his friends Torvus and Rekinu early in the exercise trying to buy time to think the prospect threw. He had only packed two medium length belt knives on either hip and a length of rope for climbing. He wore stout dappled gray woolens that where fairly quiet and warm being as the night had a dense chill about it.

As the exercise continued Tris Grimm split away from the main group he had a briliant idea on how to find Mistress Thera. He would use a techinique he had picked up when he wanted to slip away from the local bullys of his home town. He would always walk in the crowd and blend with groups of people (easy enough if you look as if you belong there). So Tris set out ghosting his way into a group of men who where heading towards an inn.

He relized quickly that his plan was going to lose steam...the streets where to empty to blend into the crowd!!

"What to do what to do?", Tris thought to himself, "I need to follow behind a trainee wait for Mistress Thera to catch them and effectivly use them as bait."

Nodding to himself Tris set out to his duties. He tried to get in position behind one after another recruit but each time the opportunity came and past with another disgruntled recruit returing to the inn and Thera Trakelyn ghosting away into the pitch black of night.

Tris saw that Torvus was caught by Thera now it was down to Rekinu, one new recruit and Tris. Tris felt his best bet would be to follow the new recruit being as Rekinu was far better at street survival than the new recruit (plus Tris wanted Rekinu to do as good if not better than Tris)... the young recruit stumbled as Thera seemed to rise up out of the shadows in the middle of the street!!

Dumbfounded the new recruit started heading back to the inn... at this moment as Thera turned the corner into a street Tris bolted to suprise her from behind. When he stepped onto the street he shouted "I got yo.....!??" He stopped midsentence... she had vanished into thin air! Just then Tris felt a tap on his back wheeling around he saw Mistress Thera with a wry grin on her face. She nodded and Tris bowed his head in respect before bolting off to the inn.

Mentally chastising himself Tris arrived at the inn around the same time as Rekinu. After hearing both Torvus and Rekinu give their speeches on what they did wrong Tris decided he should go next.

Rising to his feet he said, "My main mistake was not surveying my surroundings and the walking blindly into a ambush. I should have known better than to suspect that you would be distracted by catching one recruit and for underestamating you Mistress I am deeply sorry." Satisfied with that humbling answer the young Grimm nodded to himself and sat down.

Tris Grimm

-Tired, cold, and hoping his friend Torvus will play stones tonight

The comin of Grim

Tris arrives meets Visar Gaiden, signs the role, gets a quick tour of the yards and goes to bed

Tris quickly recognized the new recruit who looked like he might have been a street tough. An Arafellin by the looks of him. The Aes Sedai told him to come back tommorow so Tris went to bed and woke early the next morning to find Torvus and the Arafellin talking with the Green sister. The Arafellin whos name turned out to be Rekinu was giving the traditional borderland introduction. Now that is a recruit with some zeal thought Tris. He strod over and waited for either of them to continue. I wonder what the Aes Sedai will want to talk about today? Tris readied himself being polite by waiting for the sister to speak first.

Tris Grimm,

Warder Recruit

Tris had just finished his bout of punishment that was assigned to him by Visar Gaiden. He was fevorant about catching back up with his training. As he saw his friend Torvus packing his bags Tris began to pack as well.

He decided on a his normal scheme of short sword at the right hip and long sword over the left shoulder.

Never know what trouble we might get into Tris thought.

He grimaced inwardly as he saw Torvus pack some alchol into a blanket, Torvus your going to get both of us in trouble again he chukled out loud and Torvus looked at him questionaly.

Tris then set to packing his saddle bags. What to bring he thought. He put a good stout knife in his bags, 60 feet of rope, two candles, a flint and steel, whetstone, and enought food for three days. He also packed a small length of metal wire he thought to use as a snare if need be. He saddled his horse a white quarter horse he named mandarb mahdi or blade seeker, seeker of the blade... the old tonuge never translates well. He placed a planket and his green/brown cloak he got from his aunt. As he followed Torvus out of the city he awaited what was to come of his first survial training.

Tris,

Ready for what is to come

I like the idea as well.

Tris needs to gain a little muscle he's kinda wiry lol sign me up.

Tris would like to do some wilderness survival he grew up in a town and despretaly needs it.
