R&U

 Nateera swallowed the lump in her throat, raised her hand, and knocked. She quietly waited for permission to enter.

When the door opened, she entered the office and curtied.

"Thank you, Talina Sedai. My name is Nateera Raychon. I am the eldest of five children. My parents are innkeepers. I was expected to take over the family inn when my parents die, but that is not what I wanted to do. I felt that I wanted to explore the world and learn everything that I could. I travelled around for the last six years, seeking I knew not what. I found myself in the city of Aringill where I rented a room at The Candle's Nub. After about three weeks, one morning while I was examining the merchandise in the jewelry shop, a beautiful woman on horseback stopped and was looking at me as though she knew me. I asked if we had met before and she said no. She handed me a stone and asked me what I  sensed from it. I told her that it seemed to be alive. After I said this, she asked if I had ever thought about going to the White Tower and I said no. She then said that she thought I could learn to channel if I so desired. She said that I could think about it and I said that would not be necessary as I thought that I had found what I was looking for. The next morning, we left and began the journey here. I wish to learn to be Aes Sedai. May I please be enrolled in the Novice book, Talina Sedai?"

     Nateera  packed her belongings and joined the Aes Sedai for the trip to Tar Valon.

     As they traveled, Nateera would ask questions so that she would be better prepared for what she would find in the White Tower.

     "Please tell me what a novice's life is like in the Tower. I do not wish to offend anyone with my ignorance of Tower life."

     "Your life in the Tower will not be that much different from what you are accustomed. You will be expected to do chores, uncomplainingly. You will attend classes (the main difference from your old life), such as How to wield Saidar and history. You will show proper respect for those above you. If you misbehave, you may be sent to the Mistress of Novices for punishment. She will be the one to go to if you have a problem that cannot be resolved on your own. Does this help resolve your anxiety, child?"

     "Yes, it does. Thank you, Aes Sedai."

     "You are welcome. We will reach Tar Valon soon. Upon our arrival, I will take you to the Mistress of Novices so that you may be entered into the Novice book and begin your training."

     "By the Light and my hope of salvation and rebirth, I promise to study very hard and learn everything that I can. I will be Aes Sedai one day. I will prove that you are right about me."

    As they approached Tar Valon, Nateera thought she had never seen such beauty. The city seemed to shine with the glory of the Creator's Light.

    She was very quiet as they approached the Mistress of Novices office. The Aes Sedai looked at her for the final time. "Are you ready, child?"

    "Yes, I am."

    Then knock and welcome to the Tower, child."

    Nateera swallowed the lump in her throat, raised her hand, and knocked. She quietly waited for permission to enter.

New to Dragonmount, but not RPing. I have been addicted to RPing and fantasy worlds since the late 1980's. Love Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Robert Jordan, David Eddings, Piers Anthony, etc. Have read the first thirteen books repeatedly. Am currently on number thirteen to refresh my mind as to how the series runs. I currently have book fourteen, but haven't read it yet. I have played Dungeons and Dragons, as well as Star Trek. Hope to enjoy this addiction with all of you.
