  1. Only the previous night, Visen, Naremi and Neres had arrived at Tar Valon.  But then, it was midnight, and they were almost falling over themselves in drowsiness.  Their brothers, accompanying them to Tar Valon before they themselves went to the Black Tower, used some of their money to rent 2 rooms in an inn.  Tired till they could take no more than a few mouthfulls of food and sips of drink, they trundled the way up the steps to their rooms, which were some of the best here, for the innkeeper had guessed that the girls were brought here to be taught to control their channeling.

     

    The next morning...

     

    NAREMI'S POV

    Naremi awoke to the cries of the birds sailing over the city of Tar Valon.  She had fared the best of the three girls as she was more used to the hardship and weariness of travel and adventure.

     

    Suddenly remembering where they were after yesterday's long hard travel, she sprang up and ran over to the window.  There was the White Tower, dazzling her with its brightness of reflected white light.  Beside her, she could feel her sister, Visen, and her cousin, Neres, standing beside her, gaping like a goldfish.  Even Naremi, more used to strange sights than the other 2, was speechless for the magnificance of the Tower.  Finally, Neres stutted out the word.  Wow!  The White Tower!  At last.  We're going to learn how to channel.  Woot!  The girls raised up a cheer of happiness.  They were there at the White Tower at last

     

    VISEN'S POV

    Visen, after eating her breakfast, walked down the path with her sister Naremi and her cousin, Neres, towards the White Tower, and destiny.  It had taken some convincing to convince her brothers that they would be just fine in the city, and would not get lost, for the White Tower stood up, visible to the land miles around, its dome disappering into the clouds.

     

    At the great door, an Aes Sedai, distinguished by her ageless face, stood up at the sight of them.  Well well, whom do I owe the honour of meeting, three WILDERS?  Her smile was mocking, and her eyes chill enough the freeze fire.  Naremi stood straight, eyes flashing angrily at the tone of the Aes Sedai's voice.  Visen touched her arm, gently speaking in her ear.  No, Naremi, you'll only get us into trouble before we're even enrolled in the novice book.  Let Neres do the talking.  And she raised an eyebrow at the Aes Sedai.  Unless you want the Aes Sedai to turn us away before we're even at the Mistress of Novices' office?

     

    NERES'S POV

    Neres noted that the Aes Sedai's face grew chiller with every word that Visen spoke.  With a sigh, she intervened before the situation grew out of hand.  We're not wilders.  Our grandmother is Estean Namell, once Accepted of the White Tower who was put out for breaking down in the test to become Aes Sedai.  Wilders, by your definition, are woman who start channelling without any guidance.  Our grandmother tested our family for the ability to channel when we were 15, and the three of us tested true, and she sent us here to learn how to channel properly.

     

    The Aes Sedai did not seem impressed.  Estean Namell, you said, she was a wilful girl.  Is she still alive?  I was once her friend, and looked up to her for her great ability.  She was a disappointment when she failed the testing.  Sniffing, she continued, I hope you pass, and I will do anything it takes to see you do so.  Or I will skin you alive!  Oh, and by the way, my name is Ashera, Ashera Sedai to you.  If there was any doubt that she would do so, it disappeared when Neres met Ashera Sedai's  eyes.

     

    NAREMI'S POV

    Naremi was in a bad temper after Ashera Sedai's  scorn, and tramping up stairs did not help either.  They walked through corridors, where Aes Sedai stared, up the stairs, where they bumped into several Novices, and Accepted, carrying pails and buckets of water for their chores.  Ashera too seemed to be in a bad mood, and she assigned punishments for every single wrong that they seemed to make.  Novices squeaked and ran when they saw her, and Accepted curtsied and hurried off, always glancing back, they noticed.

     

    Then, Ashera stopped in front of a door labelled, Mistress of Novices, knocked and went in, sparing a last glare for the 3 of them

  2. Okay, I too want to join.  But my situation is a bit complicated here, more so than Taluka

     

    My name is Arani Lepenque Aes Sedai, and I have just recently joined the Dragonmount community.  However, I am a male in RL, and have not become a novice in the White Tower as I do not know how.  If I do become a novice, can I start posting in RP after completing the neccesary things?
