She stood a little taller as the woman approached. Light help me but my knees are so weak I may just fall down here and now if she asked me to descend or ascend those stairs again, Ishara thought. Part of her refused to believe that it could be, that she was being summoned. There it was, Kimika said the words to her and it was confirmed.<br/><br/><em>"Ishara Casalin, you are summoned to be tested for the shawl of an Aes Sedai. The Light keep you whole and see you safe." Kimika said.</em><br/><br/>The rules were strict but the served purpose. Ishara was not to speak, not to show emotion. Composed and serene, that is how she must face the test. That is how she must face all the challenges throughout the rest of her life. In her mind she repeated again, I am ready.  With a nod of deference she curtsied politely to acknowledge the Mistress of Novices and she followed her. Light but her legs burned, the stairs down here were steep and she had gone up and down them so many times today even the blisters on her feet had blisters.<br/><br/>Following down the stairs she quickly repeated the one hundred weaves in her head then brought herself to focus on the moment and to remain in the here and now. This would be a test of the unknown, no Sister ever spoke of the test. It was not shared what they experienced in it nor how they fared. Ishara did not know why this was but the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills.<br/><br/>They descended down the endless stairs beyond the holding cells, beyond the lower storage rooms until finally deep underground, far beneath the ground they came to the room where the testing was done. As they entered the room it was a large circular room with a domed ceiling and all made of polished white stone. There was not a seam in the floor or walls, it was definitely crafted by the either hands of the Ogier or the possibly the One Power itself. Around the base was a cobbled white stone in deliberate patterns and all along the circumference were three tiered candelabras, all lit.  A member from every Ajah as present, all lined along the walls, evenly spaced apart. In the center was an upright oval ter'angreal ring.<br/>
