A/N : Right. I'm writing this while going for a nice long car drive. No internet, no nothing, so PLEASE excuse anything I've done wrong, any facts or the like that I've messed up. This I mostly wrote for my own enjoyment, so if you like it, GREAT! If you don't, well that's your opinion /
A/N #2 : Ok, I might do a prologue that contains what happened when Ireana Sedai came :P.
I was beginning to get a little sore from all the riding we had been doing since leaving the town of Four Kings. We had only stopped once today, to have a quick snack. That scant amount of bread and cheese seemed like it happened ages ago now, as we ride through yet another small village along the road.
"Can't we stop, please Ireana Sedai?" I pleaded with the Aes Sedai who had come through Four Kings yesterday, recruiting for the White Tower, Tar Valon, "I'm getting very sore, and my stomach has been growling for the last two hours straight!"
Not even turning around in her saddle, Ireana Sedai simply said, "No, child, we must keep riding if we wish to reach Tar Valon in decent time. Also, your stomach cannot have been bothering you for the last two hours straight for we have been on the road for less than that. Furthermore, in Tar Valon, as a Novice, if you spoke to a sister like that, you would be sent to the Mistress of Novices very quickly."
"Yes Ireana Sedia," was all I could reply without seeming rude. So I kept riding in silence.
We continued riding, the days seeming longer and longer as we rode on. Then on the 3rd day of riding, as we topped yet another rise, I saw a huge tower, pure white. I gaped in amusement. I'd never, in my wildest dreams imagined that it was so, huge! At least 100 spans high! I halted my horse, sat there, and stared. I almost laughed hysterically in despair. Light! I'm going to get lost! Was all I could think. Ireana Sedai, noticing that I wasn't following, turned around and said, "Come Child, we won't reach the tower sitting there and gaping"
Still speechless, I heeled my horse forward and followed Ireana Sedai forward.
It turned out, due to the immense size of Tar Valon, that we wouldn't actually be in Tar Valon until this time tomorrow. I didn't weep, for fear of another lecture from Ireana, but I wanted to! Light I wanted to!
A/N: what do you think? I like it :P If you noticed anything wrong(ex. the tower is only 400 spans high) review and tell me! I love to know everything that's wrong so I can fix it!! Ok? Ok :P
