				Theme music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAoWsb8EjXE#)<br><br>It has been harsh harvest year in the shadow of the mountains where Two Rivers community resides. The once fertile fields had not bringed anything worth to harvest about and most cellars were half-full when winter started, wolves have come down from mountains to attack both people and sheeps in desperate hunger. Even handful of bears have be seen attacked sheeps while bears had not been seen years in Two Rivers. The air is crispy and cold, sky clear but sun itself seemed to be pale cold than brilliant and warm in it's radiance.<br><br>However the approach of Bel Tine, a local holiday, had awakened Two Rivers folk to feel joy once more. Especially there are rumors about fireworks to be had this year! A event which happened ten years ago and it's still lot talked about.<br><br>The young unmarried maidens with braided hairs of Two Rivers are raising the summer pole up, a event which all Two River male folk ignore is not even happening as it's custom as they should act shocked or surprised in tomorrow morning to see it and see women dancing around it and unmarried men clap and sing along the young maiden's dance. A curious custom to folks who otherwise do not dance nor sing at all otherwise.<br><br>However today is day before Bel Tine and tonight is event called Winter Night, event where folks spend the last winter night before it turns to full summer. Lots of visiting with relatives, talks and sharing news and marriage proposals done and so forth. However three youths, all of them, are specially marked by the wheel itself without their knowledge. The three young men go by their daily lives, unaware of a great change coming up to them soon or lurking danger in this crispy winter alike windy day. They all had seen a dark rider, with pitch black hooded cape which does not flinch nor move by the blowing wind and have steed which is black as his cape. Hood which shows only shadows inside it and radiate a cold malicious hatred...which icy blade has struck each youth's chest hard like a plunged sword. A briefest gaze distraction made rider disappear but not memory of the encounter.<br><br>Also in the woods approaches a curious strangers, not merchants nor mercenaries. A single tall armored rider with sword and cape and hood which seems blend perfectly to surroundings. Riding besides a woman with thick blue colored hooded woolen cape and seeming to wear a blue satin dress but seem to be unaffected by harsh cold winds which blow in the area. Followed behind them atop two young mares two other women who had been called by the woman in blue dress. Called to serve and aid her but not tell in what task nor what purpose besides tell them it was utmost importance. Traveled now weeks from White Tower.<br><br>It's crispy noon time in Two Rivers when the wheel starts spin it's pattern of coming tale......a beginning sort to ever rolling wheel of time.<br><br>(OOC: The three ta'veren feel free decide when or where you saw the dark rider. But no longer than two or three days ago since from this one or even today. You can control the folks in Two River with reasonable manner; control them do or act what sounds logical. However know that there is bard arrived middle of the night on the tavern which very few know about, everyone know about the fireworks and it had got folks cheered up and all know about wolves and the bears and lots other wild rumors and tales and speculations.<br><br>The Accepted; your traveling with Moirane and Lan and they both had been silent for their reasons to drag you out of the tower but Moirane had permission of Amyrlin seat to let you out of the tower. So consider this is first time of years since coming initiates you had ever traveled farther than White Tower and it's city. Up to you two decide do you know each other or not.)

He hadn't been home much more than a month, Emonds Field seemed that much smaller now, he was still excited about the fireworks and the Gleeman... well they had a Gleeman at least he grinned with the thought. If they had fireworks then that would definitely make his the decade for everyone.<br><br>Bel Tin was going to go well this year but aside from the Gleeman and the possibility of fireworks he hadn't been all that excited about it this year, it was no longer such a grand affair to him, he'd seen cities! He continued to mend the saddle, one of the straps with the buckle had to be replaced, too worn, if left like this it would work fine until it snapped and that could cost a man's life, a terrible cost for a small strip of leather and some time. This year had been amazing, he had seen so much and traveled further than most Two Rivers folk ever had with a few exceptions. But he had received a message from Nyneave al'Meara, the new Village Wisdom though she wasn't much older than he himself, his father had become unwell. He had returned home because of this- well he had returned home mostly because of this he thought- there was work to be done and with his mother gone it was all the more reason that he needed to be here. His father was fading a little every day, he wondered if this would be his father's last Bel Tine, would the Ox of a man see another summer even? Wisdom al'Meara was doing her best he knew but his father was not doing well at all.<br><br>So he sat on the porch and smiled at his neighbours passed by and one or two of the younger children came to ask him to tell them stories about the places outside Two Rivers, he told them stories most of the time. He was glad to be home though, Whitebridge and the city of Baerlon were all well and good but he had missed home.<br><br>Some young men and women asked him for stories too, some of the girls who were close to being let wear their hair in a braid seemed to smile at him a lot more now, he hoped he'd be able to dance with one or two at Bel Tine. He smiled at Egwene al'Vere as she passed and she smiled back but it wasn't the kind of smile he had hoped for when he was younger. He had always tried to get her to notice him but she was set on Rand al'Thor it seemed, he lived with his father on a farm, rough country but they were solid farmers. She'd do well with him, after much pining he had accepted that she had eyes for Rand and that was that before he had left. Still maybe she'd ask him for a dance. It was good to be home for Bel Tin he thought.

				<div align="center">Sylvia (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=123157.msg5405714#msg5405714)<br></div><br>The accepted who had constant thoughts of obtaining the shawl under the glory of the White Ajah was relieved when their destination finally appeared. Moraine, a dignified blue that mentioned little of the reasons for traveling here had saw to Sylvia and another accepted having horses with saddle bags filled with feed and rations but little else accompany her.<br><br>This was very unusual and Sylvia's attempts to pry more information from Moraine was returned with dismissive general sweeping statements which could be interpreted as anything. Enough for Sylvia to realise whatever Moranine wanted to share of her reasons it will be in a time of her own choosing, not when the accepted choose to be in want of it.<br><br>Luckily the horse, Tremola, that Sylvia had spend many sore hours on was of a gait and nature that made riding her easy. Initially the accepted thought she would perish after a week on the mares back but later grew accustomed to its motions enough such that riding her felt natural. That was until her legs found solid ground again. <br><br>They both trembled and buckled to a point of the accepted almost falling over. How the warders could flow from ground to saddle without a breath was something that stunned the girl. Still many mystery surrounded everything, none seemed inclined to explain enough to be useful .. yet. But that would change when she got that Shawl. Being treated as a JUST an accepted was ... to Sylvia, simple ...un-acceptable. <br><br>After a few shaking footsteps her balance returned, and instinctively the exhausted Source user moved to a barrel of water that was reserved for horses and splashed it with her fingers gently, to indicate to Tremola where she could quench her thirst.<br><br>Immediately after doing so the horse drunk while Sylvia patted the loyal mare's neck.<br><br><strong>"There there girl, however hard the journey was on me it must have been harder on you caring me and all our food. Gosh you have been good girl ! We will see to you and the other horses cared for by the horse keepers here. You will get your brush and shoes seen to soon don't worry, and my job is to find you an apple or two for thanks for seeing me here without throwing me off"</strong><br><br>The accepted laughed. <br><strong><br>"Because if i was you I would have done that the first day and every time I tried to clamber on your back ! The sweetest apple I can find !"</strong><br><br>Normally most would be all jaws open at the White towers presence in such a remote location but the village was abuz with talk of gleemen, fireworks and Bel Tine. <br><br>The accepted smiled. She had been delighted when the Blue Aes Sedia requested her personally. Typically accepted were more tolerated by those of the shawl, not sort after. Then two days in she regretted leaving the luxuries of the white tower. Everything felt so serious with the warder and Moraine not saying a word.<br><br>This village was in feastival mode, a light hearted joy of life, without responsibility, without pride, without ... pretension was delightful. And well worth seeing, even if it was for a moment. Still more of that on the following day. An apple for Tremola was her first priority. Tell the truth .. and she had told her horse she would seek an apple immediately, so that is what she would do. With that in mind the accepted made to enter a tavern to ask for such. Hmm perhaps the tavern keeper would have a better idea why Sylvia was her than she herself did.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/M00nchy1de/Vitani.jpg)</div>*Vitani hadn’t questioned endlessly about the why’s and wherefore’s. Instead, she’d taken the opportunity to collect herb specimens she’d yet to see and make notations of others she did know of but had not yet seen in their natural habitats. She was a quiet companion along the way, though not coldly so. She tended her own horse, never waiting to be ‘told’ to do so. It was always cared for ‘first’. Her own comfort came afterwards.&nbsp; Once a routine had been set, she followed it without needing reminders.&nbsp; She showed proper respect to Moiraine, without appearing to be a bootlicker.&nbsp; Though she longed for the Shawl at times, she did not chaff beneath the trappings of her station.<br><br>Along the way, she’d bought a set of clothing that would keep her association with the Tower hidden.&nbsp; She’d changed from her white banded dress into them that very evening.&nbsp; Having seen and heard all the whispers she’d deemed it best. <br><br>As they rode into Two Rivers she smiled at seeing folks making merry.&nbsp; Sadness hid within the depths of violet eyes. She was missing Bel Tine in her own village. A delicate hand pulled the deep hood of her cloak further across her porcelain, pale features. No one would see the single tear fall upon those rosy cheeks.<br><br>She was dressed in the cloak of a commoner. It was made of a sturdy wool, dyed varying shades of darker grey.&nbsp; The clothing beneath also were those of a commoner.&nbsp; Her skirt was a black homespun&nbsp; fiber.&nbsp; Her top a billowy sleeved heather hued blouse with darker purple embroidery. <br><br>Upon arriving at the stable, she slid down to lead her horse on in. She saw to removing the saddle and giving it a brisk brushing.&nbsp; Its coat fairly gleamed when she finished.&nbsp; If there happened to be a stable boy about, she’d hand over a few extra coppers asking them to give her horse a warm mash of some sort.<br><br>She slipped away from the stable, wanting badly to at least ‘see’ the preparations for Bel Tine if not participate. With bright eyes, she dashed off towards the town folk gathered about. *<br><br><br>

				Daniel watched as the two foreign women moved about the stables of Master al'Vere's Inn. He put his tools down and examined his work, the item repaired to his satisfaction he brought it inside once more. He put in it's usual spot and turned to head out, see if he could get a glimpse of this Gleeman or one of the young women might take a shine to him and ask him to dance later, they'd be moving on he had no doubt and his 'wordly' ways wouldn't impress them but a dance was a dance.<br><br>His eyes came to rest on the chest near the door, there was all sorts of odds and ends in it for short term storage but he thought maybe he should move the things he had brought back home with him to the attic, still there were talk of hungry wolves, mostly carried by young children and the foolish especially the Coplins and Congars, but maybe he'd let them rest there a while longer. Cenn Buie was a stream of pessimism about that and everything else, the old thatcher had probably been complaining and nay saying since he was old enough to speak.<br><br>He began walking towards the Inn, they had Bel Tine, a Gleeman and maybe even fireworks to look forward to. Maybe he'd even get to dance with one of the strangers he thought again. He ran a hand through his hair which his father kept telling him to cut but he liked it this way, he had to admit it was similar to Luca's hair now. Luca had been one of the caravan guards he had worked with, the man's face was a stone but his tongue could cut an arrogant man down to size without a single look of anger or amusement reaching his face.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/M00nchy1de/Vitani.jpg)</div> *Vitani was just leaving the stables. Trying to mix in with village folk. Daniel would likely recognize that tactic as evasion. She wanted to shake off the dust a bit. To just have some fun. Being cooped up and on a leash was not in her list of 'to do'. Her horse had been tended. It was time to stretch a bit. Get rid of the aches and pains of riding for so long. <br><br>A smile curled her lips as she spied Daniel. The merest turn of her hooded head in his direction might let on that she was in fact, looking. A fluttering of her fingers said 'Hello'. She was perhaps a bit shy. Maybe uncertain of how the villagers in this town would receive her. She just wanted to be a part of something happy. Enjoy a few moments. Breath deeply and suck the marrow out of life! The ride to Emond's Field had been just far to stifling for one so young. She'd not complained a wit, but she was off and ready for a smile or two.*<br><br>He...hello...<br><br><br>*She murmured as she drew nearer to Daniel. Her voice was a soft, pleasing dulcet. Her accent marked her from Andor. Stranger to Emond's field yes, but a stranger to the Westlands no. Her steps slowed, her head tilted a bit as she waited for his response. Light above...if she could only have a little time for herself. For some 'fun'. *

"A long journey today? I know what you need, one of Mistress al'Vere's honey cakes." He rested one hand on his hip while the other scratched behind his head. "Will ye be staying for Bel Tine? There's a Gleeman here though I haven't seen him yet. Still I'll warrant that'll help you forget the long road."<br><br>He was a little nervous, although more used than many in Two Rivers to talking with strangers he hadn't met one in weeks especially a pretty girl, he smiled never the less. She seemed shy enough herself but once the road was left behind and she was sitting in front of a warm fire she might be more relaxed and talkative.

				He gestured towards the Inn, "Mistress al'Vere and her husband run the Inn. She'll see to it that your stay will be in comfort, we don't have all the luxuries of larger communities but they've got a good few books, the beds are comfortable and they have an excellent cook." He involuntarily licked his lips a little, cooking at home only produced edible food, he wasn't the best cook and neither was his father. "Our preparations are almost ready, do you think you'll be joining us? It might help you forget your journey for a while." He grinned, hopefully she'd join and some of the other travellers, it's make Bel Tine that much more memorable for everyone.

Her brow wrinkling only slightly.* OH..yes the Inn. I was actually in the mood for a walk around your pretty village. *Her words did not equate to 'quaint' or any other term that could be considered derogatory. She truly meant what she said. She leaned in a little closer to Daniel, that only HE migh hear her words.* I need a little time away from M'lady. *She whispered to him.* I can't be saying if I'll be staying or not. I do hope so. I've been away from my own village Bel Tine celebrations for awhile now. It would be welcome. *She did seem to want to get away from the Inn.*

				"Well I can give you a little tour, but there's not a huge amount compared to most other villages. Have you had anything to eat recently?" He began to walk towards the green, the timbers for the Bel Tine fire stacked high. Some of the girls in the village were giving the stranger slightly odd looks and giggling. "My name is Daniel al'Forel by the way. What do you go by?"<br><br>He was walking backwards a little, to stay turned towards her as he walked. He wondered about M'lady but maybe he should leave such questions until later seeing as the young woman was keen to get a break from her mistress. Maybe she was a servant or maid he thought.

It wasn't before Daniel would catch her blushing however. She was just realizing how rude she'd been as he mentioned his own name.* Oh, pray forgive me. I didn't mean to be so rude. I'm Vitani Chevalier. *She followed as he continued walking. She didn't want to be called back before she'd had the chance to stretch her legs properly.*

				As they walked out onto the green he gestured. "This is as you probably guessed the village green, and here's where most of the fun and excitement will be later on. It'll be a night to remember if you decide to join us and a night to forget the troubles of the road." He looked at the pile of timber waiting to be lit. "And you know where the Inn is. There's the north road, the south road and the quarry road." He gestured to the respective roads. "Unless you want to know who grows the best tabac then that's the tour. Who of course makes the best is hotly contested but I doubt you'd be interested."<br><br>Noticing how some of the younger girls were giving her odd looks he smiled at her "They're looking at you like that because your hair isn't in a braid, women of your age almost always have their hair braided. It's a sign of womanhood here."

Back home, it's always about the biggest and best of various things.&nbsp; The women always vie for the best pies. Only, this year t'won't be much of a selection. *For an instant there was more than a hint of worry in her voice.* As for my hair, it's the same where I am from. I chose a different path. You could say, I'm an apprentice. *IT wasn't a lie she told Daniel. It was the absolute truth. Jus not the entire story from beginning to end. She hesitated a moment before speaking again.

				"Well, you're likely tired of your mistress no matter how nice she is, she's probably glad to spend some time with a few new faces as well. No offence to you or your mistress but it's always nice to have a break after a long journey." He began to walk away from the green motioning for her to follow. He walked a little further down the road maybe a hundred yards.<br><br>They soon approached a simple thatched building. It had only one story but the walls were sturdy stone and the door opened with a simple lock. "We'll get you some little bit of food, no need to rush back there yet." He motioned for her to sit down as he put the kettle to boil. They had entered a kitchen, it was orderly if spartan and he produced some bread and cheese, he blushed embarrassed that they had no butter at all in the house at the moment it seemed, his father always used too much.<br><br>He had left the door of the house open, she didn't really know him and she'd know that any passer by could see in. He had heard some tales outside the Two Rivers, everyone knew everyone here but she might not be comfortable being alone with him. The table and chairs were hard, old and battered but sturdy which suited the little room. His leather working tools were on a chair to the side where he had left them. A small book case stood at the far wall, there weren't many books in it but they could all be seen at this distance to be in good condition.

I just want a little space to breath and relax a bit.&nbsp; *She smiled, following Daniel. She kept track of where she’d gone. She stepped into the building behind him. Her smile broadened. Her eyes shifted slightly, going just a bit wistful.* Your home makes me miss my own.&nbsp; *She murmured softly.&nbsp; Her gaze shifted to him in time to see him blushing.* Why are you embarrassed? *She asked.* I see nothing to be embarrassed for.&nbsp; I’m no high Lady. I’ve no reason to scoff. It’s…nice…*She said.* I know you’ll understand because our beginnings are much alike.

				"Because my father's gone and used up the last of the butter!" He shook his head as he continued preparing the tea "I'd be embarrassed just the same if you were Mistress al'Vere." He smiled over his shoulder at her "Beginnings and endings are both important but we never get to be in those, we're always stuck in the middle. So what are you an apprentice in?" He opened a cupboard and thanked the light, they still had some honey his father hadn't found. He put that on the table with a small spoon as the kettle rattled and hot steam shot out of the spout. Soon enough he was pouring the hot tea for her.

				Well, that’s not so big a thing. We can do without butter.&nbsp; If you’ve syrup or honey that’d work just as nicely. It’d be a fine change from the usual. *Her smile seemed to fade just a hint as he asked of her apprenticeship. She was afraid to tell him.* Daniel, I’ve enjoyed talking with you. I…I’m afraid to tell you the truth. But, I don’t like to mislead honest folk. *Her voice hitched just a bit. She bit down on her lower lip hard, her gaze shifting to the tabletop. She’d settled there in&nbsp; one of those hard chairs.* I shouldn’t be telling you. *Her voice had become a mere whisper.* I’m Accepted. Of the White Tower, in Tar Valon. Please, you mustn’t tell anyone. I mean ‘anyone’. *She said quickly looking up at him, pleading with her eyes.* I’ll be Aes Sedai in the future. *She was clearly afraid he’d shun her for telling the truth. But she was being honest with him. *

				<div align="center">Sylvia (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=123157.msg5405714#msg5405714)<br></div><br>Vitani was soon in conversation with a handsome youth of the village that seemed considerably better presented than one would think of villagers, and good thing too.<br><br>Sylvia had noticed how shy Vitani was, even with other accepted and talking to a handsome man was a very positive thing for ones confidence. Not that she needed any with how good that girl was at healing, phew, it did blow away other the other accepted when in training sessions with the Yellow Asjah mentors. But that meant nothing to other areas for many, perhaps Sylvia was wrong but the accepted shrugged never-the-less<br><br>But this was two rivers. While Moraine and Lan were busy with other mattes Sylvia looked at her pouch. 2 silver marks ! her parents would be ashamed. "Always consider one thing Sylvia no matter what gold is everything, everything changes with gold. There is one golden rule, whoever has the gold make the rules. Never be caught without gold."<br><br>She then thought quickly, this was two rivers ! this place was renown for the best tabac. But what could one get with 2 silver marks ? and she needed an apple.<br><br>Sylvia smiled then approached the tavern keeper.<br><strong><br>"Good evening sir !"</strong> She curtsied and smiled<br><br>"Hi humble Sylvia are merely an accepted of the white tower, yearning for the Shawl, ignored by all those who unfortunately have better things to do than give me attention, but liked by those not so busy I hope have traveled from those ivory walls to be here for reasons none speak to me of ! and am I delighted by the character of your adorable village"<br><br>Although her words were flowery she was being honest and did talk so naturally.<br><br>"I am a daughter of a merchant family that has instilled values for traders like yourself as the cornerstone of societies."<br><br>She smiled before then straightened her posture and composed herself more regally.<br><br>"I yearn for the great serpant ring and pray within weeks I could be a true Aes Sedia. Once done I do seek to have trade, roads and merchantism re-visted as what sustains the world more so than nobles who change on a heartbeat with one battle and the next. I have promised my horse that I could give her the sweetest of apples, but also hope for some two rivers tabac to sell elsewhere but ideally have some seeds have for more than symbolic purposes.<br><br>I know that tabac is not just seeds but the soil and care that makes two rivers famous but seeds from such a plant are still useful, and highly symbolic of what is trade to many."<br><br>She then planted the two silver marks down on the table.<br><br>"For a sweet apple for my mare, some tabac to trade and a pinch of seeds, I hope two silver marks could see such, but if not is there anything I can see to that could manage so? For I feel while my mentor is busy seeing to serious matters, perhaps time exists for me to quickly see to something a mere accepted could manage?"<br>

				He smiled passing her the honey and dropping some in his own tea, at least he had that much. His jaw perceptibly dropped and his&nbsp; face went a little pale... she was a what he thought. He hadn't even thought for a second of something like this... it just didn't happen, not in the Two Rivers. "I wont tell anyone, you have my word."<br><br>So much for maybe getting a dance later, she was nice enough but who knew what happened in an Aes Sedai's head but he severely doubted that she'd want to go dancing. The thought was almost enough to make him laugh if his mood hadn't suddenly been made sober very recently. He wasn't entirely sure what he had expected an Aes Sedai to look like but the pretty girl in front of him was not it.

We can talk of such matters later." He reached under the counter and took out an apple, it seemed to be in good condition his smile broadening as he put it on the counter beside her two silver coins, clearly not intending to take anything from the young woman yet. "Everyone calls me Bran."<br><br>As to whether he believed that she was soon to be Aes Sedai or trying to pull a joke on him was hard for her to tell. Still he had answered her politely and appeared in no rush as of yet to do business, that could be dealt with later.

				He felt sorry for her, and she was to be an Aes Sedai. The notion was an odd one to say the least and he didn't dwell on it but his feature's softened. "I'd like to say that I'd choose the noble path of helping others, but you can not really know until you make such a choice. It can't be easy, I have never tried to view the world from an Aes Sedai's point of view before." He laughed a little.<br><br>"Well any day you are in Emonds Field, you can knock on our door and have a cup of tea with me Vitani. I can only imagine what it must be like but if you ever want to sit in a normal house and feel very normal" He gestured down at the table "well I can't think of many places much more normal than here can you?" She likely wouldn't be around long, it was sad he thought once more she did seem genuinely very nice. If she wasn't on her current path she'd be back in her village, maybe married already to a good man, a lucky man he thought to himself as his eyes looked over her ruby lips.

				While Marin al'Vere led young girl towards stairs, her husband Bran came almost sneaky alike to the kitchen! She knew he had done something, as always when Bran has done something which he thinks may make her mad he tends <em>sneak</em> around like that! He gasps in surprise as he nearly crashes to the two women but for sturdy fat man he agilely jumps out of the way and says in calm voice; "Just checking the barrels see which one I place a tap ready." He slides past Marin deeper into kitchen and heading towards the wine cellar. Considering no one locally drinks any foreign brands because they do not taste as good as local brands and top of that they cost twice as more than just paying drink local branded ciders or ales. So he sound just have given quick but plausible excuse for himself and anyone asking why he seems sneak towards cellar.<br><br>While Marin and Vitani talked a man approached them, a man tallest than anyone around them and he weared a shifting cloak which seemed blend to surroundings. Vitani sensed the man's gaze before she saw him! It was Lan! Lan spoke with his borderlander accented deep calm voice; "Lady Moirane summons you Vitani, she wants meet you in her room. Last room on left at end of hallway." Same go Lan goes to Sylvia who was in main room and said to her; "Sylvia, lady Moirane summons you to her room upstairs. Last room on the left at end of hallway."<br><br>OOC: Sorry for late reply, both Accepted tagged now by lady Moirane.

With a deep sigh she turned to Mistress al'Vere.* Please, will you tell Daniel that M'lady calls? I will try to be there for the dance. But I must obey. *Reality came crashing back in. There was but a moment of sadness and regret that flickered in her eyes. It was quickly swept away to be replaced by a calm resignation that such things were just not for her.* Thank you kindly, Mistress al 'Vere. Would you also please tell Daniel how much I appreciated his hospitality? *There was more she wanted to say, but she couldn't. She gave a nod and went on up the stairs the rest of the way to Moiraine's room. She knocked on the door.* M'lady, 'tis Vitani.

Mistress al'Vere had spoken to him and relayed Vitani's message, it was a shame but at least she said she'd try to go dancing later and Marin feeling a bit of sympathy for the boy gave him a honey cake and told him to sit by the fire a while. He was still hungry but it would tide him over, maybe the young woman would be free again soon and help him with dinner. It wasn't just her company that made him want to wait, she had talked of herbs and he had a sneaking suspicion that she would be a better cook than him. He sat down by the fire letting his legs stretch out as he opened the book.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://liltempest.com/tangledthreads/images/chars/Perrin2.bmp)</div>The Winter had been a long and bitterly cruel one for Nehal, with no signs that it would be letting up any time soon, even being so close to Bel Tine as it were. During the long winter the fiery forge had been his only comfort, the driving snow making it impossible to traverse into town. Nehal, Master al'Shar, and Mistriss al'Shar had to survive on their meager stores of food until the weather had let up enough for them to get to town so that they could get supplies to withhold the rest of the winter.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;But now with Winter's Night upon them and the skies withholding it's cold fury, they would be able to make it to town just in time for the festivities. Nehal eager to get there and meet up with his friends had roused them all early and helped load the supplies, he had much to tell his friends, things no one else would believe. They traveled the snow crippled roads slowly, not wanting to risk the horses fool heartily in this snow where they could easily break a leg or worse. Nehal kept a wary eye on the forest as they traveled, much to the chagrin of Master al'Shar who still didn't seem to completely believe him even though it wasn't something he would make up, especially at such a time. He relaxed though, as they began to see the village swiftly approaching, guiding the horses along the road and between the thatch-roofed houses lining the streets.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;With Master al'Shar's permission he broke away from the group and headed straight for the tavern, suspecting that that would be the best place to start looking for his friends and stabled his horse quickly, as he finished he noticed that their were at least five horses stabled that he didn't recognize, there were some strangers in the Two Rivers! He went around front, quickly going inside seeking news from his friends, and also to tell them of what had happened since they had all last met. He noticed Daniel near the fire and approached him with a grin on his face,<strong> "Hey'O Daniel, am I wrong in thinking this will be more than the average Bel Tine this year?"</strong> he asked knowingly taking a seat across from him by the fire.

More often than not folks in these remote villages do not welcome Aes Sedai no less than they would welcome any channeler, we are no longer in Tar Valon where more common myths and tales are, let's say more accurate than in remote village than here where they got same tale told differently.<br><br>Now, I want you specifically learn much as you can about young men of the village. Around age of nineteen or twenty. I have important reason for this but I cannot share it yet with you two but let's say amyrlin seat knows why I am here and only I and amyrlin seat knows details of my mission and I prefer keep it that way until time of revelations comes to pass.

Continue get know him and through him learn more about other young men in the village. But it's Bel Tine so feel free relax and have fun, but just remember your task though." When Syvlia made her confession, instead of a frown or hard stare what most Aes Sedai would do Moirane instead sighs and covers top half of her face with her palm briefly. Rub sides of her head and moves hand away from her face focus look on Syvlia and says; "Dear Syvlia, I know your very eager get your shawl but one thing you to learn to be Aes Sedai is not be too proud about it. You can have sense of pride and purpose but be too prideful and you end up make many people upset.<br><br>In many countries you need be humble, not make much sound and be undetected without lying. As accepted you haven't yet taken the three oaths yet so you can lie if need be. One reason why I picked you two because you have more flexibility than I work around gathering information as you can outright deny your status being members of the tower while I cannot." It may be quite shocking to hear Aes Sedai is actually asking them to lie but Moirane quickly speaks; "True that being honest is good start to get adjusted to life being Aes Sedai but there are times when.....you need bend or slip around your oaths, for good of the all. Altough three oaths is what makes someone a Aes Sedai but it was implemented specifically to increase overall world's trust on Aes Sedai and to their use of powers."<br><br>Moirane hears Vitani's request and she replies; "Please wait, I am not quite finished here. Hmmm, Syvlia, I think you need perhaps extra round in the farms to learn bit more humility for being accepted so your not too prideful Aes Sedai...." Moirane lets image of the farm sink to Syvlia, it is called the farm but it's actually punishment camp for initiates or accepted to work there without use of one power nor study anything. Just plain physical labor work down on your knees in field raising plants and break your back carrying wood or water in there while aes sedai with sharp tongue and stick slaps you if your slacking or dozing off in the farm!<br><br>However Moirane neutral calm expression which was perhaps more frightening than actual scowl or hard stare, as she played and considered the thought behind her dark eyes! However she smiled and said; "However we cannot return Tar Valon sometimes so instead I want you redeem little for your mistake. Now Vitani; your job besides being with the man what you found teach Syvlia how behave in small humble backwater village like this? You came from a similar small village did you not? So you know way around more better than her so educate her about few things how she behaves and acts so she does not stand out too much. After your lesson you can return to your task and Syvlia then tries work around rectify her truth to more murky detailed. Not lie but try make it sound something else if you can, mislead the true meaning what you meant earlier."<br><hr><br>While the two friends (Daniel and Nehal) talked they heard joyous cheers come from outside.....they hear that the first merchant in the year has arrived! He is supposed to be the one bringing in the fireworks! Not to mention goods to sell and tell tales from the world!

				Sylvia nodded and agreed quickly to the terms, better than the farm at least. Did she feel she deserved punishment ?

ONce she'd done so...she'd gently suggested that Sylvia think about her interactions with others. She explained that the seductive behavior the Domani people seemed to slip into so naturally could be very offensive. She explained that in a small village, everyone knew everyone else. A man's wife was certain to hear of a strange woman making what 'looked' like advances on her husband. She pointed out that the womn of the village would not look kindly on anyone behaving that way, thinking perhaps said female was out to steal their man too. Her best advice, was to stop and think before acting. She also suggested that Sylvia watch how people in this place and others like it behaved towards each other and perhaps learn from it. Vitani spoke gently, and tried her best not to sound as if she were accusing Sylvia. She had seen Sylvia behave that way a time or two in other places. She was trying to do the job Moiraine asked her to do. <br><br>Once Sylvia had slipped away, Vitani did as well. Of course she bowed and bid Moiraine a good and restful evening. She paused in her own room, long enough to braid her hair. It took a bit of doing, but she managed a beautiful fish scale braid. Though she put her hood up when she went down the stairs to hide what she'd done. It was meant to be a surprise.<br><br>Bright eyes flickered around the inn's common room, the beginning of a smile curling her lips when she saw Daniel. But she hesitated. He was with his friends.*

				Daniel turned as he saw out of the corner of his eye another stranger, he wore white an unusual choice for a man traveling but Daniel like many Two Rivers folk were far enough off the beaten track that the White Cloaks were either something he didn't know of or something he merely didn't think of often enough to consider the significance of the man's colours.<br><br>As the loud shouting and talking outside drifted in one phrase made his heart jump into his chest and his eyes dart back towards their two guests- Aes Sedai coming here with a False Dragon. Normally he'd consider it just nonsense but Vitani had told him who she was, was it possible the Aes Sedai weren't coming, but were already here? No he thought, far more likely that Padan Fain and the other travellers had met a few towns back in an inn and decided to play a little trick on the villagers of Emonds Field. Vitani had seemed very sincere but maybe he had her wrong, it would be easier if she were just a liar than an Aes Sedai. He wasn't sure what to think of her right now, either she had come here bringing trouble to Emonds Field or she had come to make fun of them, a slightly disappointed look tinged his face as he looked back at her. It was far more reasonable that she was cruel than an Aes Sedai in training, part of him wanted her to be telling the truth but if she was a False Dragon?

				Daniel heard Sylvia mocking the man speaking outside, he recognized the voice of Padan Fain speaking outside. The man had come to Emond's Field for many years and was as well known as any outsider was to them and accepted more than most. Sylvia's words confused Daniel, she claimed that she had previously claimed something similar to these rumors but now declared it as a lie, was it a joke after all but if it was why was she challenging it. He resolved to let the news outside play out whatever way it did and cleared his throat again "Daniel al'Forel" as he continued to offer his outstretched hand to the other woman.

She’d yet to order anything.&nbsp; Her cheeks flushed lightly at the whispered words. She felt her eyes sting with tears, but she refused to shed them. Sheer strength of will kept her from crying. Before Marin could slip away, she would give the woman a quick hug. The kindly woman put Vitani in mind of her own mother. Oh she’d wanted so badly to follow her brother all the way to Tar Valon. But being so far away now at times was hard to swallow.&nbsp; <br><br>Vitani&nbsp; looked more than a little puzzled.&nbsp; She’d not heard of the False Dragon before. Those words clearly troubled her.*<br><br>IF there were a False Dragon here, you would probably know. I reckon someone willing to carry off such a farce wouldn’t keep his piece. <br><br>*She didn’t call it a lie. She didn’t go on as if it were a joke. She merely spoke practically of it. Well at least it made sense to her anyway.&nbsp; That simple accidental touch brought her gaze swiftly to meet Daniel’s.&nbsp; Violet&nbsp; eyes held his with such intensity.&nbsp; That bright, sunny smile of hers reappeared at his compliment.&nbsp; It transformed a pretty if perhaps almost unremarkable face into something of gentle, natural beauty.&nbsp; This, was where her beauty lay.

His eyes moved briefly over Cael, was the man a caravan guard, he couldn't recall Padan Fain ever needing one but they had mentioned war outside, perhaps that bit of Fain's news wasn't overblown and the war wherever it was was close enough to make Fain nervous.

				(OOC A little before the previous posts but i think it ties in sort of ok-ish)<br><br><br>Indeed Vitani was very careful to point out what should be considered in places like this without mocking Sylvias ignorance or assumption that lead her be in this situation in the first place. Vitani also was put out by Silvia's mistake, for doing her own duties as well as seeing to instructing Sylvia at the same time was a tall thing to do, especially after being exhausted herself riding so long. IT wasn't just Sylvia who had traveled for weeks without stop.<br><br>*<br><br>Sylvia saw she had attention for the moment and knew that not tying up Moraines expectations of Vitani and herself would be worse than bad. Although she may not be aware of village custom's, when most&nbsp; admitted a flaw in their own character, almost all were inclined to believe it.<br><br>"Mistress Alys is wise beyond her years and our keeper for a traveling time that has seen my mind muddled somewhat. No thanks to gorgeous Vitani who has been as kind to me as she is beautiful. Gosh Its a good thing she kept her hood up while we were on horse back or I am sure I would have lanced wounds into her <br>with feverious jealous gazes !"<br><br>She then laughed<br><br>"Its not easy traveling with others so beautiful, being outshone constantly, <br>doesn't settle in pleasant ways in my stomach. And in this taven I hoped to settle<br>my green eyed demon in ways that I don't think was quiet appropriate."<br><br>Sylvia wasn't jealous nor threatened in truth, all three had exotic looks that were in themselves a different type of perfection, but she was jealous of how well Vitani had slipped into making friends here, that grace of socialization even in a village Syvlia always prided herself being better at. And she had worked to upset Moraine's plans. But perhaps quick thinking could solve all of that. A problem into the solution.<br><br>She then moved once to show off the strange attire that is customary of her lands.<br><br>"From my attire all know where I am from but only now I understand why other nations may see our views of such as distasteful or aggressively flamboyant, if any wish me to change say so and I will, for now I feel a fish out of water walking in as a stranger, assuming your good barkeeper should juggle my dreams before his own without first hearing his.<br><br>Worse I feel like a floundering fool as perhaps being a source of rumors that are unwelcome to a time of celebrations and feastivities. Perhaps if the young men of this village could humour a foolish girl new to the world, trying to undo past insults to your village's honesty I could fathom a way to return the favour of such sour interruption to something that should be done that none of you busy folk have time to see to."<br><br>She had expected most to shrug and return to their drinks ignoring her, but the novelty of one like her trying to come to terms with what was practical to others was fascinating thing to see. But such novelties could only last a moment .. these were practical people. Strangers were more like fireworks to them, interesting for a moment. irrelevant the next. So now or never.... Now it was.. <br><br>"In large cities which I am used to one has to try and inflate themselves to get anywhere at all, but such attitude here has no practical place. And what do us prissy peakcocks talk of when meeting each other where I am from ? We boast of our appreciation of the fine wines from villages like this, while the men speak of how heavenly Two Rivers Tabac is and what sort of fairy-enchanted fields could produce such wonders. You all know this is true so thoroughly you have no need to do what I have done, too busy creating what the world elevates to care to do more to make your contribution to culture clear to fools like me who could just know by comming here and listening or simply opening their eyes"<br><br>She then addressed the man who had offered his hand.<br><br>"Daniel al'Forel, I am Sylvia, I was about to embellish my name with flowery titles, but I feel so humbled by my previous need for being special I think Sylvia would do" <br><br>She smiled and shook his hand firmly, making note not to move in any other way other than what was necessary.<br><br>"I see young mans eyes on Vitani now for reasons my gaze also drifted" She laughed<br><br>"IF your friends are others like you please, escort us away from the place I feel I have shamed myself such that I must soon form a new more pleasent memory. And more than one striking man than yourself is need I fear for I feel I need a wall of them between her and I for my immature jealousy to release my restless-mind ! "<br>

				So two strangers and a unique girl... Domani unless he missed his guess, who seemed well associated with woman at the fireplace.&nbsp; Perhaps he would later speak with Mistress Alys' companion, for he had the look of a Borderlander, a Shienaran.&nbsp; All this later, for it was an inconvenient time with all this activity.&nbsp; Cael was well aware that he associated more with those of greater age, and wisdom, than himself since he was always eager to learn more about the world.&nbsp; Knowledge was often the difference between success and failure.&nbsp; Life and death.&nbsp; It had been once previously, shortly before he had made his way to Emond's Field.&nbsp; Beneath his cloak, his hand unconsciously tightened on the hilt of his sword for just a brief moment.<br><br>He noticed the man they called Daniel nod at him.&nbsp; It could mean any number of things naturally, but this was a fair and perhaps it would be well to forget his worries once in a while.&nbsp; Looking down into his cup and swirling the contents in meditation, he took a sip, stood, and walked over to where Daniel had gathered with his friends.<br><br><strong>"A good day to you... Master Daniel, was it?&nbsp; I hope you're townsfolk will forgive some reticence on my part, for I am newly arrived from long travel, and only recently such travel in the company of Master Fain, who as I'm sure you're aware has little good to recount about the world!&nbsp; Certainly an ordeal in my opinion."</strong><br><br>Making a slight bow to the assembled, he mentally noted that such formalities were not truly necessary here in the south, and it was all more from habit than conscious effort that he made them.

				With a surprised blink followed by an embarrassed laugh, he realised how long it had been since he had tried to fit in properly with a simpler crowd: <strong>"It appears that long travel, and perhaps a touch of Master Fain's company, has rendered me weary; I am Cael, of the house Saryndor and late of Saldea... you needn't stretch your mind on my family's name, I'm sure it's one you haven't heard of before."</strong><br><br><strong>"Mistress...

				Cael smiled wryly, for it seemed that the mention of Daniel's name had summoned him.&nbsp; There was also the girl with him, whom Ewin must have been talking about - perhaps one of the women who were accompanying Mistress Alys.&nbsp; <strong>"Well lad, when the time for dancing starts, just standing next the two girls alright?&nbsp; No need to draw attention by doing something so obvious as pointing them out.&nbsp; Here!"</strong> he pressed the silver mark into Ewin's hand.&nbsp; <strong>"I'll expect to see you later, and woe betide you if I don't!"</strong><br><br>Despite the threat, his manner was genial and with only mock-seriousness.&nbsp; Walking in slow manner at the approaching pair, he bowed slightly at the woman before looking to Daniel, <strong>"I hope I'm not disturbing you Master Daniel, but I hear that you have seen something amiss in the area of you village.&nbsp; A stranger... in black, was it?"</strong>

He wondered what the man meant about the mysterious stranger but he made a very real effort to avoid thinking about the man. "I have no doubt a few of the girls will want a dance with you Cael, as to whether Vitani will be amongst their number is something she only knows." He didn't mind her dancing with anyone he just didn't want to be left ignored but he doubted she'd do that on purpose, still as he had learned in the past women could hurt you without realizing or cruel intention.

Altough Sylvia was silent she did commune also....in domani way. Making a pleased purring sound when Ren described his own prowess with the staff and occasion made short charming chuckle when he told some nice story about Two Rivers. Her eyes were focused on him and him alone. When he courtly placed his jacket on the log she took seat in log then and when he sat besides her she smoothly moved her legs. So she faced him one leg crossed in front of her while other neatly slided all over Ren's lap! Hooking her leg with his waist and fix her position balanced and comfortable as she can get in present position. Her silky smooth thigh rested on atop Ren's legs like offering, and she did not shy away when his hands moved to touch her thigh, it only brightened existing spark in her eyes and smile wider.<br><br>Their discussion was cut off by sudden flare of illuminator's firework, turning look them in wonder Sylvia said with cheerful tone; <strong>"Oh!

They saw a large crowd of Two Rivers folk surround the simple cart where the man with two sparkling flaring rods is now dousing the rods in water and speaking to them while the older man was making hand wavering gesture to make room so they can get more closer to the inn. The young man took some odd backpack and placed a simple table on the ground where he started place bowls and some bottled liquids and bottles with some colored sand. Taking three illuminator's rocket shells and starting talk to people and soon people started shout words to illuminator which could be heard; <em>"I want green!"</em>, <em>"I want red!"</em> and so on.

				The young blond handsome man who was the apprentice apparently did not sell the rockets, he just made them on demand and quick listening from crowd they were voting what colors he place on the three rockets what he plans to launch. The young blond man speaks loudly; <strong>"C'mon! Green has got four votes, red five and blue only two! Someone voted purple and heard yellow somewhere there!"</strong> The man spoke with bit accent which is bit hard to place.....sounds mix of how mistress Alys spoke (Cairhien) but also had echo of Ebou Dari.

				Nehal was watching the fireworks with the rest of the two rivers folk gathered on the green, though he was more reserved than some his age and instead of joining in the bartering and voting of which color would be made for the next display he simply watched and admired, although part of this was due to the fact that he couldn't seem to drag his thoughts away from the dark rider he had seen, it just didn't seem to make sense and he felt like there was something very important that he was missing. While waiting between fireworks he happened to see Daniel with his new friend, momentarily forgetting his own troubles, and when their eyes met, he gave him a knowing wink and gave him a teasing gesture that seemed to say, "Well get on with it then! Kiss her!" obviously not having picked up the mood that was around them.

His other hand went to her waist. There was no Milly Coplin nearby to give her dirty looks this time.

				Nehal shook his head and turned back towards the fireworks, he hoped that Daniel's new lady friend wouldn't be leaving soon, from the looks of things even though Daniel had just returned, he would probably set off on another of his adventures and follow her. As he looked back towards the illuminator's he was just in time to see another firework light the air, it seemed they had come to a compromise and it seemed to be a night flower of purple and blue which seemed to light up the sky with it's brilliance.

				Nehal looked at them both with wide eyes, it seemed they had taken his jibe seriously, "It was merely a jest, I did put such thought as to think you would do such a thing, but at how fast you seem to react as such does make me wonder" he counters with a slight smirk before laughing slightly while slapping Daniel on the back. He was trying to keep his mind from what he had been thinking about only moments before, "Well.. ah.. nevermind Daniel it's not that important after all." he felt a little bad about backing down about it, but it was crazy... if he hadn't seen it himself he wouldn't believe it if someone had told him such a thing. But maybe Daniel would believe him, after all they were close friends.

She smiled warmly, it was confident and yes motherly. "Don't you worry I have no doubt when the time is right you'll have the right man, whether Daniel's that man or some farmer from the Borderlands just don't get caught up by flowery words. I think your mother did a good job with you so you'll know this already, flowery words and a handsome face are fine but you'll want to make sure when you've settled on a man he has a decent head on his shoulders and isn't afraid of a little hard work." She nodded slightly as she finished the sentence as if they were sage words of wisdom.

In distance the tavern door opens and the men from the council part their ways. Padan Fain staying inside enjoy some cider and food and tavern is now back open in business.<br><br>Meanwhile in sky is rocketed two more fireworks; one green blast followed with bright yellow sparks and then bright yellow one with red fiery sparks. The handsome blond illuminator's apprentice picks up his table and indregients and heads back to old man who has already unpacked the cart and mule into stables with aid of stable hands. Now both start work on with crates and ready to transport them carefully inside the tavern where they ask for two rooms; one as temporal work room for their goods and second for themselves to sleep, bath and eat in. Slowly day is turning form early evening to dusk and wind grows chillier but it does not kill mood of the crowd, as there is ongoing gleeman display in alley where gleeman juggles some bright red balls.

You could bond to him if you would ask mistress Alys do it.

				Lan replies; "If it would go mountains it would not show itself here, it definitely seeks something in the communities themselves. I do not know why it is here as said as I can only theorizes. But we could spend century guessing we should prepare for it. Anyways I go contact the mayor but I want you go out and warn folks not move alone, especially not move after dark.

				The late-winter gale bit at Brandelwyn Al’Sere’s cloak, spearing the youth with half-a-hundred iced needles. The wheels of his father’s ox cart bit into the frozen wheel ruts running east-west from the Mountains of Mist to Emond’s Field. Bran bore the cold stoically, walking afoot beside his father’s ox, Russet, with a knotted staff in hand. Atop the cart, his sisters, Liia and Lire, fourteen and sixteen, sat beside his white-haired father.<br>&nbsp;<br>In four summers Marc Al’Sere had lost nearly four stone and his earthy-brown mane had faded to a funeral-shroud white. The Al’Sere patriarchs did little more than mumble incoherently, or stare, listlessly, into empty space. Bran only eighteen but he was a man grown, the proprietor of a hardscrabble farm beside the Mountains of Mist.<br><br>“Quite hogging the blankets, Liia, da will catch his death!”<br><br>“Burn me, Lire, it’s too cold!”<br><br>Bran lifted steel grey eyes from the trail and glared at his sisters, with wolves and bears about, he wasn’t in the mood. Bran’s eyes burned with a heat hot enough to melt snow. He stared at Liia with forge stoking ire. “Lire if Dad catches a chill, I’ll tie you to the Spring Pole and lash. . .” Then the breath slipped from his lungs and froze in midair. The hairs upon his neck stood on end. Something was watching him.<br><br>Al’Sere turned to stare down the road and saw a man atop a great black destrier, the thing was tall and cloaked. A wave of hate and murderous rage smashed into Bran with the force of a ballista bolt. Bran stared at the black rider, his face fast becoming a shade paler than the snow atop the distant mountains. He could not break his stare. The rider’s mount made to hoof falls and his cloak did not stir in the late-winter wind.<br>The sound of chattering teeth and unintelligible mumbling filled the air.<br><br>“Bran. . . Bran!!!”<br><br>Bran turned to Liia. Both of his sisters were holding his father in their arms while the frail whitebeard shivered and convulsed in their arms. Bran slapped Russet’s flank to hurry him. “We need to get him out of this wind . . .” The ox moved forward at a languid clopping gate, carrying his sisters, father, seven barrels of peach wine and two smaller casks of peach brandy to Edmond’s Field.<br><br>Bran turned back toward the road and the black rider was nowhere to be seen. A ghost? An Apparition? This winter was like to make men see things. After a lengthy trudge across the frigged trail they arrived at the WInespring Inn. Bran set his staff upon the seat where his elder sister, Lire, held the reigns.<br><br>“Get da inside. Liia, find Master Al’Vere.”&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>

				In haste not to disappoint Moraine again Sylvia paid very close attention to the detect shadow-spawn weave, keeping all thoughts of the village aside while her teacher explained the weave in detail.<br><br>Moraine was very skilled but thankfully she didn't try and show matters too quickly. It was something to benefit having private mentor ship by such a person, best to make good use of it while it was present.<br><br>

Moirane showed both girls how to do the weave two times, after first time she asked them try do it. If it did not go correctly he shows again and then asks girls do it again.<br><br>(Okay, you both roll weavesight checks to see do you learn it or not and do the weave if you can)<br><hr><br><strong>Bran, Daniel and Ren</strong><br><br>Bran's father and sisters hopple in and soon Al'Vere was quickly outside helping Bran empty the cart with barrels and he says to Bran; "Bran, your father is not looking well. I go call in wise one check on him if you like."<br><br>While emptying the carts Daniel and Ren come to sight of Al'Vere who says to them; "Hey, come help empty this cart boys."

Best to just get on with the job, the sooner they started the sooner they were done. It shouldn't take too long with Ren and Bran... that was if Ren hadn't snuck off, he looked over his shoulder to see if the other young man was still there.
