Valeri Sedai helped her up from the floor and into her chair again, but Liana was still trembling though she had stopped weeping now at least. Liana took a sip from the warm cup of honey tea, which the Aes Sedai had previously given her, and tried to re-calm her. When she trembled less and had a steadfast voice she spoke up “Leirin Sedai told me as much as she could during our journey here, but she didn’t mention how my nobility would affect my life when I’m raised to the shawl. But, I’m certain I’ll go back to Maradon if there’s ever any need for the One Power against the trollocks.” Liana said with a pretty steady voice while she was thinking of her lonely mother as she was the only child in the family. Unless her mother had re-married and would get children to give her comfort while Liana was gone.

That was something she had been pondering about on the journey here, and would probably think about a lot during her novice life. After all she would live on long after her mother was long gone, and buried alongside her father in Saldaea.

“I heard from Leirin Sedai about the different Ajahs in the tower, and I heard that the green Ajah is the battle Ajah. That seem like where my path is taking me when I get raised to the shawl, to the green and the frontier in future battles against the shadow. That way I can honor my father, mother, and my country by fighting against the shadow.” She said while holding her hands together in her lap, and her voice was firm and the tone was crispy.

Okay, sounds good. :)

Alright then, I'll reply to it as soon as I can :)

yeah, I'm sure there are :) ah, yes. If you want to still do it, I'm all up for it. :)

Hm...I'm nearly done with my novice reqs..but not sure you'd want to wait on me though ;)

Because I'm not sure when I'll get done. Probably done by next week.

ohh, why not allow both of them get away,,and we chase after them. :) I like that idea.

With Alinya a slip up is possible ;)

Myst is up next. *pokes her gently*

Alright, I've been discussing with Myst about the heading of the thread.

And we've decided but you can of course let me know your ideas as well :) Just shoot away ;)

Anyway, that I'll kill two of your guards and Arina finish off the lord, but that I somehow let one of the guards slip away.

So, we have to find him and kill him off as well..to make sure no one finds out about our mission.

Let me know what you think of that or if you have any ideas of your own :)

Alinya headed out as her teacher had told her to do; she wasn’t interested in neither getting yelled at nor getting her neck snapped. She noticed that the Lord’s room was close by to theirs, which would make it easier to finish their job. Just as Alinya noticed the guard posted in front of the lord’s door, or rather who had been close by – opening the door to check in on his lord. And then closed the door and walked down to the common room. Alinya exhaled slowly in relief and walked steadily down as well, and out through the backdoor of the inn. The kitchen staff eyed her but after a moment got back to their jobs.

The sky was greyed and neither clouds nor stars were visible at the night. But a bird’s chirping could be heard in the distance, as Alinya were hiding in the darkness and shadows, with the helping hand of her black clothes. She plucked at her belt where her twin daggers were hanging, to make sure they were still there; she would need them tonight.

After what felt like she had been walking for hours, while looking at another direction, she accidently bumped into a figure she thought looked like a man. A quite young man at that, and she fingered her daggers right away, but the man just kept walking in a wobbly state toward the inn, as if he had been drinking too much. You could barely see anything in the darkness of the night, but somehow after a brief moment and an extra glance at the man walking toward the same inn where she was staying – she suddenly remembered where she had seen him before, one of the lord’s guards.

Alinya looked at his back and suddenly in a flash drew her twin daggers with a fake heron-mark on them, and she walked quite fast-paced toward the man. She had her daggers in both her hands, and with precision bumped into him, and got his attention. And as the young bodyguard turned around to see what had hit him, Alinya raised her dagger and stabbed him right into his left shoulder, which made him stagger back a bit and put his hand on the wound. He had been totally off-guard and was now injured on his left shoulder, Alinya was able to kick away his dagger from his right hand, and kicked him in the belly. He fell backward with a thumping sound, and she kneeled down and stabbed him another time in the left chest – the man’s futile attempts at defending against her ferocious attacks made her grin as she stabbed him in the heart. She was enjoying it too much, and even though she only killed one man before and that was very different, this still felt good.

Alinya could see her uncle in his eyes and kept stabbing him, but after five stabs he was able to muster some extra strength and push her away, and then he tried to run away from her back toward the inn, to tell his fellow bodyguards of the incidence with her. Her eyes were burning with rage and hatred, even though she had already killed the person responsible for her broken life essence; it would never be enough to put out the burning flame inside her heart. Alinya’s entire soul is burning of fiery rage.

When she was heading back to the inn she accidently trampled on a dead twig, which made her position to the two guards leaning over the nearly dead corpse of the man she had just stabbed to death. Alinya slowly removed her foot from the broken twig, and made a quick decision to hide behind the close corner of the inn; waiting for him to come to her. Her breath was a bit heavy caused by the tension she was feeling at the moment. Bellin as she had heard one of the guards calling him, that was on the way to her, was walking a bit sloppy and kept breaking the dead twigs as he walked closer to her position. This is going to be an easy victim she thought to herself as she was getting ready for him. Her still bloody dagger held in her left hand, and just as Bellin was in front of her, and when he turned around as he couldn’t find anything – she put her free hand on his mouth and stabbed him right in the heart several times, until he died. Then, she sheathed her dagger after removing the blood on a cleaning towel she had brought with her. Alinya then dragged the dead man to the stable of the inn to hide him from the other guard. Arina would be impressed or at least proud of her achievement tonight.

OOC: Anrith, check out the planning thread after you read this reply. I've posted a plan to where the thread is heading. :)

you welcome! *crosses fingers just for you*

I'm back! I'll post later tonight though :) Oh, then wish you best of luck on your exam Myst :D

okay, I'm going to be busy today and tomorrow. I'll try get a post up on sunday. :)

Welcome Leala :) I am sure you'll love it here in our cozy den.

And I wish you a great time rping with us.

*showers her with confettis* *grins*

I just posted, so you're up next. I was thinking that you post after me and then Anrith. Because I think it makes most sense.

And might be easier to read it that way. But if you got other ideas go ahead :)

"Stop glaring about, girl. Repeat your lessons to me, so I can be certain you don't suffer from memory loss."

Alinya lowered her eyes but still glared inwardly toward all of the men within a radius of them. "Mistress, you have taught me well, and therefore I still remember the lessons, as if were still happening. Your first and most important lesson was that I should never leave my sight blinded to the area around me. And always check before I waltz right in as it could very well be a trap." Her eyes almost gleamed while she spoke of her training with Arina, and she couldn't help but put on a smirk on her lovely lips. Alinya tapped her twin daggers in their hilt that was hanging on a leather belt; she had gotten from her mistress as a kind of gift of acceptance. Sudden commotion brought attention to their table, as both Arina and Alinya leered toward the place of the commotion. A newly arrived guest just stepped through the door which stirred some interesting glares from some of the guests for different reasons, but the reason why Alinya and Arina leered was because the person was their target in question.

Usually you don’t get that kind of luck on your side, but it seemed today was to be different in some way. Alinya turned her gaze toward the half-empty glass on the table, and sneered as she took a sip of the wine. She put the glass down and whispered which sounded ferretier than anything “He’s finally arrived! I didn’t think luck would be on our side today, we’ve been searching for a while now. And he just waltzes right into our grasp. Why?” It didn’t make much sense, but what did make sense in this hole. The Rahad was a place where anyone could easily disappear, and no one would care less. But, this was after-all a Lord that they were hired to kill. Someone had to miss him at some point, but from what the high-lord had told them; he wasn’t much of a socializer. So, maybe with some luck he wouldn’t be missed nor searched after.

When they had finished their food and drinks, and were walking toward the stairs to get to their rooms, Alinya bumped into a short snake-like man who gave her a sharp look, which Alinya saw and right away put her fingers on her dagger, ready to slice his throat. She gave the man a glare that could boil the very heart of a man or woman, and her eyes burned with fiery rage ready to explode. “Did you just look at me? I dare you to give me that look again, and I’ll snap you in half or break your neck.” She said with an angry voice filled with a hateful tone. She pushed him hard which made him wobble a little.

Her mistress couldn’t allow Alinya to bring attention to them, and so she intervened and placed herself between them, before anything more serious happened. She told sharply to Alinya to walk away, while she held the two people aside from each other. Alinya really was about to explode, but knew that she needed to learn to control her emotions better if she were ever to become a lethal weapon. And so she walked up the stairs and to her room, still fire in her eyes as she walked inside the rather mediocre room, the innkeeper had given them.

That's okay :) I wasn't sure which link you were refering to..so, I just thought I'd thrown in my cent. ^^

Gkad I can help out. By the way, who approves the training for new ws? Is it Devon or?

"Of course you may write your mother child. Perhaps you might tell me your name?" Valeri gently, "Obviously you are of the house of Alore, but what is your first name dear?"

Liana plucked at her dress because she was a bit nervous, she had never been to the white tower before and never met an Aes Sedai. Well, before she met Leirin Sedai of course. She still sat on her chair plucking at her fine dress "I am Liana Alore, Aes Sedai. I have come from Maradon, the capital of Saldaea. This be my first visit to Tar Valon, and the shining Tower." She slightly glanced at the Mistress of Novices and spoke again "Leirin Sedai? She was very kind to me, and told me what she could on the journey here. And I am ever thankful for her telling. But..." She took a deep breath and paused while pondering a thought in her mind, wondering if she could or even should ask it. Then she took courage and said "She did not allow me to bring with me something of my father's, and did not tell me why I could not." Tears started rolling down her cheeck as she could barely hold her self from crying "He died protecting me and my mother...f-from the..." She just couln't bare the thought of losing her father. Whom had loved her more than his own life apparently.

Father...why did you have to die? Why couldn't you just stayed behind and protect us. It's not fair, why do I have to lose you. What did I do to deserve this. Her thoughts made her start weeping in front of the Mistress of Novices, but she just didn't care and just allowed the tears to come forth. "I hate him!" She said with anger while tears rolling down her left cheek, she was now curled up on the floor.

Here's a link you should check out, that will help you out. :)

http://drpsw.wikia.com/wiki/Warders

nah, looks good to me :) I'll try to get a post in today. It should be possible, if not I'll fix it tomorrow. kk

ah, that makes sense then. That's okay, we can manage it. :) I just pm'd Anrith about the lord..we'll see if he's interested to play more than one char.

Ah, thanks Kath. :) That's too bad, but RL do come first.

Hope he won't over-work ^^

That's okay, better late than never ;) And RL do come first.

I'll just post here anyway, even though the admins probably already know about my situation.

Ah, cool :) Yeah, no worries. I just finished another post for a different thread with Elgee.

At first, I thought this rp would be just me and Arlow :D

But, I am glad there are two more players. Makes it more fun and interesting.

While Jozan was trying to find out where the arrows came from, the women behind him were screaming or panicking. He did not notice until a bit later the reason why, as he looked behind from where he was hiding. The Aes Sedai had been pierced by an arrow in her left arm, and one of the other women had an arrow sticking out from the middle. Jozan sighted I told them to get out of here, to get more help. He thought to himself as he put an arrow on the string. They had been six men in total back at the inn, where they had picked a fight with him ­– a tower guard from the white tower.

He strung his bow and took aim and even though he was no bow expert, he did have some training with it. He released the arrow into the forest, and after a moment a shout was heard, as one of the men was struck by the arrow – with some luck caused by the wind. Since the Aes Sedai had used the one power to kill two of the men, there were only three left that could harm them. But, Jozan knew they needed to get out of here, before more trouble came along. But, he also knew he needed to get rid of the rest as well. Because if he didn’t, while he was gone they could easily kill the Aes Sedai and the women.

He couldn’t let that happen, not as long as he was breathing would he allow that to happen. He grabbed his bow and while keeping low, he tried to get closer to their hiding place. And when he finally found it, he strung his bow once more and fired an arrow into the right leg of one of the men in trees. The man fell to the ground in aching pain, and tried to stand up but fell helplessly back to the ground. The others drew their rusted swords and charged him at once; they fought bravely though stupidly against him. Jozan twirled his staff in the air and hit the man on the ground on his knee, and then he ducked away from a sword slash in the air. He kicked the man who had swinged the sword in the stomach, which made him lose balance and fell. Now Jozan could charge against his third attacker more easily, and he twirled and swinged his staff at the man in a combo. And in the end he knocked the sword out of his opponents hand and on the way broke the man’s knuckles. He then mercilessly killed him with a hard blow to the head. He couldn’t let them escape and bring back more men and more trouble. When one of the less hurt tried to run away, he strung his bow and shot him down. And then there were only the man on the ground, with a hurt knee left. He could bring him to justice by bringing him to the tower for judgment, but that could be dangerous. Who knows what this man could be conjuring up inside the walls, while trying to escape. No, he had to be dealt with right away, and so Jozan took out a small dagger and sliced the man’s throat. He wiped off the blood on his already dirty clothes.

He then mounted shadow who had been tied to a tree close by , and rode back to where the wagon was standing, and the women in panic was located. When he arrived at the site, he noticed that the Aes Sedai had been hit in her left arm by an arrow, which would need to be removed before he could do anything. Jozan sat down beside her and told her to calmly breath, and after a brief moment he broke the arrow in half and pulled it quickly out. The woman gritted her teeth and a grunting sound came forth, and Jozan made a bandage around her arm to keep it from bleeding. That will at least keep her from bleeding, while I get some help from the tower He thought to himself as he slowly put his cloak under her head, to make her more comfortable.

He then turned to the other wounded woman and saw how bad it really was, and he knew there was not much he could do for her. She needed the healing of an Aes Sedai, but the only one in close range was hurt. “I am sorry; there is not much I can do.” He paused as he noticed how shaken they all were by his statement, and because of all that was happening around them. “I will need to get some extra help from the white tower, and I will bring with me extra guards. I won’t be gone long.” He said with a soft and confident voice, even though it would take a bit of time to get to-and-back from Tar Valon. But, the sooner he started the sooner he would be back with help. A yellow sister and a few guards would fit the bill nicely. Jozan looked at the women sitting beside their friend, with both fear and sadness in their eyes. He mounted Shadow and told him to ride fast, as fast he could.

After galloping for what felt like several days he was finally at the gates of the tower. One of the serving guards hauled him “Who goes there?” Jozan nearly yelled at the man halting him “I am Jozan Elvilmawien, tower guard of the white tower. I am in dire need of assistance. I was ambushed, along with an Aes Sedai and a few other women she was escorting to the tower.” The guard allowed Jozan passage and hoped he would bring them back safely.

He was able to find a willing sister of the yellow ajah, and three tower guards not on duty to bring with him. Thankfully the yellow sister knew how to make a gateway to the village where they needed to go. And, that would only take a short moment to travel, instead of riding which would take a few hours. And in that time the sister would be in even more trouble, and the woman that the sister was escorting would be dead.

OOC: Sorry for the wait, I haven't been in the best condition to reply until now.

Well, as far as I know..this is the only one :)

You welcome, sweeite. Better late than never, you know. ;) I really liked your post.

I can't wait to get it going ^^
