The Choice of the Sovereign
Disclaimer: I do not own anything by Robert Jorden, but if I did I would rule the world! Or you know not.
Ok I'm starting over. The last one had so many mistakes in it I couldn't stand looking at it so I fixed it! Sorry its so short the others will be longer hopefully.
My parents are dead from scarlet fever, along with my sister Amity. My brother, Azeil, takes care of me now. He had gone away when he had finished high school at fifteen, now he's twenty five and got out of collage years ago. We're initially from Lilyport, which had a population of seven hundred twenty five, but Azeil moved to Sorcellerie city, and brought me with him when our parents died when I was seven.
Azeil is out, he had to go to see to this thing at the company he worked at, it was really secretive he barley said a word about it. But it was high paying letting us live in a spacious town house. It was warm and nicely furnished, we always had food and he had always been kind to me. The only thing that bothered me was sometimes he had to meet with negotiators at the house, and they always send silicone filled, fake women (or men) to work things out. He didn't force me to go to school I like him am a genius, I'm sixteen and in my senior year I would have been out already but Azeil wouldn't let me move up. But then again I haven't placed a foot in my supposed school in over six months. He hired a tutor for me Miss. Celeste who is very lively for a fifty-year-old lady, she taught me how to channel the One Power, I am advanced as she is now; she was thrilled to learn that I could do such things. Once she took me to The White tower, she had me tested over and over again because I could read minds and foretell the future. Miss. Celeste had said she wanted me to enter the Tower but the Amyrlin Seat said I could not. I wanted to know why I could not but I held my tongue, at least she still let Miss. Celeste tutor me. I wanted to be of the green ajah. The only thing I didn't like about Miss. Celeste's teaching was that she made me walk the streets of the city, and read peoples minds. I have absolutely no problem with reading peoples minds, it's actually fun but, it was the way they thought that bothered me. They thought about nothing just about no one had one logical thought in their minds. The one time I put my foot into school I got bored and my mind started to wander into other people minds. If I had to live off thought to survive I'd die in a hour or so.
Before the Amyrlin Seat became The Mother she was a close friend with my brother. The Mother's real name was Lucy Waysons, she was raised from the green ajah. And she always gave me candy when I was smaller, except chocolate because I dispise chocolate. She had come from Lilyport too. Even in private she would not tell me why she would not let me into the tower. I even asked my brother but he nevered answered me, or changed the subject. I asked every Aes sedai I could but they didn't know a thing, reading their minds and they still didn't have a clue as to why the Amyrlin would not let me into the tower. I refused to read my brother's or the Amyrlin's mind no matter what. I was tempted to but I cut the connection before I could convince my self to do it.
Mrs. Celeste wasaway at the Tower so I sat around, watched TV, read, and slept. Finally Azeil called.
"Hello Sadie, I'm coming home I'll be home in a few minutes." He sounded a little tired and sad.
"That's ok take your time," I said.
"Thanks, I need you to do something for me Ok? In my study there's a case in-between General Minorities and Constantine the Great open it up and tell me when you do so," I was half way to the study as he finished talking. I'd been in the room many a time and I knew exactly what my brother was talking about. I was anxious to get to the case. He had never let me touch the case and of course I touched it and that was one of the few times Azeil actually got mad at me. I grabbed the box from the self and held it in my hands waiting for instructions.
"Now what?"
"Now go to the desk and pull the third drawer all the way out. You got it, good, now on the track where you slide the drawer there's a key, and that will open the box. It took me forever to find the key. I thought it would be all-mystical, but it was just an ordinary key, my spirits about the box dampened.
"Now open the case," wrangling with the phone and the box I positioned my self so that the box lay a little on my wrist and my shoulder held the phone to my ear. The keyhole grunted as I stuck the key in, after a turn the box clicked and immediately popped open. Inside………………….. a violent purple ring, with a heron, and Old Tongue writing that read "The Sovereign will choose." What possible use could it serve it looked like the other artifacts around the house?
"Ok, now what?"
"Take it to 144 Laden st. it's in the forest give it to a Ronald Sesich take all your stuff with you your going to stay over there with him and his wife."
"Ok, bye"
I grumbled as I walked down the rainy forest road, the trees shielded me from the rain mostly but, drops got in my eyes and of course it started to rain harder. I didn't mind running around for my brother I was just disappointed at the case. I thought it would be some spectacular super thing but it was just a magic enhancer I had three myself, two from my brother and one from Annalise a blue ajah. We had five hundred just like it at home. I could see the house from where I was on the road I started to run toward it, my things were flopping against my thigh in my messenger bag. I had three changes of clothes, comb, etc.,mp3 playerand five books.
I finally reached the porch steps of the house; it looked like a church with its gothic steeples in the frontbut had romanques perches in the back. I knocked on the door, nothing happened after a few minutes, so I called for anybody, I hopped off the porch and tried togo around the housebut I dicided better of it as I almost landed in a huge muddle puddle.I tried the door, which was open. The house seemed abandoned everything was covered with two inches of dust and there were mouse tracks in the dust; I noticed a string hanging from the ceiling with a note at the end.
Put the ring on.
Oh. Yeah. That's really important. 'Put the ring on.' what's that going to do? I ranted about how stupid this was then I got the artifact, out of my pocket and stared at it for a second. I felt powerful, like I was invincible, I could control the world and nothing would stop me. A warm feel came over me like I was standing in front of a huge fire, I hadn't even put the ring on yet why was this happening it usually happened after I did some magic. I looked around for something that could have caused the heat nothing was around. Looking back at the device I thought I underestimated it maybe it was powerful, I took the ring out of my pocket, and slipped it on.
Nothing happened, I waited a few minutes and nothing happened. I took it off and put it on againthree more times but it didn't make a difference, it didn't work.Piece of crap. I sounded my voice through the house and I check the surrounding rooms and I stuck my head out the door and check around the yard. Nobody was in the house or outside, if someone was there I would have asked them if my brother was playing some stupid joke on me, or I'm just going crazy. So I through a little stomping tantrum, afterward my foot hurt like hell, but the fit didn't help. I grabbed the piece of paper and flipped it over meaning to tare it off the mocking wire.
Your left ring finger
WTF. A knot came into my stomach I shifted on my feet. I slipped the ring over the right finger. Light appeared under my feet, I was standing in a ter'angreal!I tried to back up but I was trapped in the ter'angreal, I felt sick I needed to expel my breakfast now. Memories flashed before me randomly. I saw memories that were not mine. Silhouettes, trollocs, mounds and mounds of men, women, and children. A dark looming mountain, an imperial a white tower, and a dragon. Names diffused into my head. The Dragon Reborn, Dragonmount, the White tower. The Prince of Ravens.
Some fearky place
"Does it really have to be her?"
"Yes, you know this Azeil she is a part of the pattern, who are we to mess with it even if we could?"
"But my baby sister, the only one I have left?"
"You know she survives, it right here, she'll be fine. And she's not your sister, she is his."
"Your not helping"
"I'm not here for your moral support I'm here so I see everything goes according to plan. And I have to get back, they'll start to suspect me of something."
