<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/50/BlueAjah.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Aleana Schiller (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11575159#msg11575159)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Keeper of the Chronicles, Blue Ajah<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>None (As yet!)<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Imoko<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Morning, Saven 5, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Keeper’s Office<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Blue Dress (http://www.wearingideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Royal-Blue-Prom-Dresses-13.jpg) and the Keepers Stole of Office<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/>Though she was quite a bit younger than even most Sitters at the Tower, Aleana felt old as her gaze flicked to the young Novice standing in her office.  The number of years one had lived in the world seemed to be only one factor of age.  Experience and hardship, while it didn’t count in terms of numbers, added age to everyone it seemed, and the youthful Novice in front of her had little of those.  It was clear in Sabelle’s clear blue eyes and the sweet smile she was trying to wrestle into appropriate stoicism.  It was clear in her borderline eager desire to prove herself to Aleana and race to become Accepted.  If she was privy to the responsibility that awaited her or the dangers the Tower was going to be facing, and already faced, she might not be so eager.<br/><br/>It was a dangerous time in the White Tower.  Suspicion of the Black Ajah had been growing in her and Raine’s mind since they had taken office.  And the regular reports that they were privy to hadn’t been helping.  There was little doubt in either of their minds that the Tower had members of the Black Ajah among their ranks.  Too many suspicious things had been happening and covered up too quickly.  Sisters and Gaidin had been murdered and the investigations trailed off after a certain point.  It was becoming more and more clear as the reports piled up that there were others in the Tower working against them all.<br/><br/>Now, more than ever, it was of the utmost importance that she and Raine do whatever they could to secure the Tower.  Not just for themselves but for the future.  And that was what Aleana had been working toward silently.  That was part of the reason Sebelle stood in front of her that morning.  “Thank you for coming, Sebelle.”  Aleana spoke, letting none of her thoughts show on her ageless face and no hint of it came through her polite voice.  “If you would be so kind as to ask Imoko Sedai, of the Blue Ajah, to join me and bring us breakfast, I would be most appreciative.”  Though formal and often distant, she strove to always be polite to the Novices and Accepted.  Not only were they the future of the Tower but Raine had wished both of them to have an open door policy to everyone in the White Tower.  That meant that they had to work hard maintain a balance that offered both a welcoming presence and still retain the authority of their offices.<br/><br/>“I would be glad to help, Keeper.”  Sebelle, despite the rigors of being a Novice, brightened at the task and seemed genuinely happy.  It was unique, to be sure, but pleasant for Aleana and she often called for Sebelle because of it.  Offering a polite curtsey, Sebelle left to do the tasks asked of her.<br/><br/>Gazing down at another report, her eyes scanned the page though she read nothing.  Taking a deep breath, she leaned back in her chair, pondering the meeting she was about to have.  Imoko Sedai.  The Aes Sedai not only had a great deal of strength in the One Power but had also decided, much to Aleana’s pleasure, to join the Blue Ajah.  She was truly talented and skilled.  But, more importantly to Aleana, she offered hope for the future.  With her natural talents and strength, Imoko would go incredibly far in the Tower with experience.  Experience that Aleana intended to provide.  Though she loved Raine dearly and wanted her friend as Amyrlin forever, she was far too level headed not to see the truth.  Neither of them would live forever but, if they played the game right, they could very well pick the one that would replace them when they were gone.  Someone that would secure a bright future for the White Tower.<br/><br/>That someone, she hoped, would be walking through her door any moment.
