<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/6f/Accepted.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Ishara Casalain (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11551036#msg11551036)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Accepted (ready for the Test)<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Closed<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Early Evening<br/><strong>Place:</strong>The hall outside her dorm room.<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>n/a<br/><hr/><br/>Ishara Casalain felt ready and she was told as much by a few of her instructors. The time would come soon but she didn't know when. Butterflies fluttered around her stomach. "Darn things, wish they would just fly away," she half muttered to herself. Steadying herself she took a breath. "An Aes Sedai must be calm and composed at all times." Her head tilted forward as she nodded to herself. With hands raised she gestured as if drawing in the air, channeling just a small amount of the one power into a display of color. She weaved together one of the one hundred weaves she would need to perform for the test. Everyone one of them was etched into her memory but right now she was creating a physical sensation in her mind of what it felt like. Exercising a sense of feel to broaden her understanding of the inherent meaning behind each one of them. They sparkled, some danced, others drifted in and out of focus but all were solid spells performed with flawless execution. Her roommate occasionally tried to scare her and throw stuff at her to create distraction but that wasn't enough and Ishara knew the test was going to be so much more deeply emotional then all that. Drawing on her own memories, she tried to relieve traumatic things that happened in her life and imagine the worst possible situations. Once she felt sufficiently emotional about it, she'd try to create another set of weaves.<br/><br/>Another accepted walked by, "Looking good, Ishara. You'll be a sister soon, I just know it."<br/><br/>"Aeria, do you remember when Madrana Sedai let her weave fall apart," Ishara said. "... and she tugged at the green weaves to tighten it all back together? Do you remember what she said about it? I tried to do that by letting the thirty second weave fall apart but when I thought I was pulling it back together it nearly got out of control on me. I just can't figure out what I did wrong."<br/><br/>"You shouldn't be playing with the weaves like that," Aeria said. "Maybe ask her in session tomorrow?"<br/><br/>Ishara resigned herself to not knowing the answer for now, she had no idea if there would be a class tomorrow for her or not.<br/><br/>Smiling and waving at passing novices, Ishara flipped through some of her books and idled away her time thinking about the test. She was half hoping that someone would come along to distract her.<br/><br/><br/><br/>.... After practicing in the hall and discussing technique with a few of her peers, Ishara went back to her room to get ready for the training grounds. If distraction would not come to her, she would go to the distraction...<br/>
