Wheel of Truth

Chpt 7

The night was quite. Not a cricket chirped or owl hooted. The wind was still, yet a veil, torn strait down the middle, swayed silently from side to side. It glowed eerily in the moonless night, casting strange shadows that cringed and scuttled about the earth.

Flicker. Flicker. Flicker.

A form began to materialize within the veil.

Flicker. Flicker. Flicker.

Whoosh! A slender man with long dark hair and a once young and handsome face, came flying out of the veil. A laugh lingered on his lips. He struck the ground with a small *Ooph* and landed flat on his back.

Sirius Black: *rising and dusting self off* *Looks around at surroundings* "Huh, could have sworn I was dead." *turns back to the Veil* "So this is what's on the other side…"

*At that moment there was another series of flickers, and another figuring came hurling out, much smaller than the first and wearing a very particular cape.*

Sirius Black: *Unable to scramble away in time, is stuck to the ground once again as the second figure crashes into him.*

Second figure female: "Die! Die! Die Ruin, die!" *she shoots to her feet in a blur.*

Sirius Black: *backing away* "Easy now, girl. I'm not Ruin."

Girl: *whips out a pair of glass daggers* *crouches and snarl's at Sirius.* "Who are you?"

Sirius Black: "Just calm down. Um did you just die by any chance?"

Girl: *hesitates, but nods*

Sirius Black: "So did I." *glances uneasily at daggers.* "You can put those away, I'm not going to hurt you."

Girl: *gives Sirius suspicious look, but quickly slips her daggers back up her sleeves.* *she straightens* "You still haven't answered my question."

Sirius Black: "Forgive me," *gives a little bow* "I'm Sirius Black, and you are?"

Girl: *continues to glare at Sirius* "Vin, Vin Venturd."

Meanwhile back to the people who matter.

Kahlan: "Paty cake, paty, cake"

Sumora: "a baker man"

Kahlan: "bake me a cake as"

Sumora: "Fast as you can."

Mat: *groan* "Will you two quit it? I'm trying to sleep."

Perrin: "But we just set up camp."

Mat: *Mocking* "But we just set up camp"

Perrin: "Sheesh what's your problem?"

Mat: *glare* "Can't you smell it?"

Perrin: *rubs nose* "Of course not, what makes you think I can smell emotion." *nervous giggle* "That's crazy"

Mat: *confused* "I was talking about Rand's foot, its right in my face."

Rand: *who had been muttering and still is* "Yes, yes, kill them. No, no, I'm not mad."

Mat: *smacks Rand foot* "Move your foot Rand"

Rand: *startled* "What, I wasn't saying anything."

Mat: "Course you weren't, now move your bloody foot."

Rand: *moves foot* "Somebody's grouchy.*

Richard: "Sumora,"

Sumora: *just finishing game* "Huh?"

Richard: "Just what does Otis look like?"

Sumora: "Weeeeeeeeeel, he's small, has a squashy face and a cute little curly tail."

Richard: *scribbling on note pad* "Uh, huh, and what color is his fur?"

Sumora: "He has a black face and off white fuzzy body."

Mat: *under breath* "You're very descriptive for a little girl."

Kahlan: "That's cuz you're a smart little girl." *baby voice* "Aren't you just the smartest little girl in the world?"

Sumora: *giggle*

Rand: *coming out of his mutters* "Hey, whatever happened to that Arthur boy?"

Sumora: *giggles cut short*

Richard: "Probably trip on a root and impaled himself with his sword."

Kahlan: *Hit's Richard* "That's terrible."

Richard: "Your face is terrible."

Everyone laughs for some reason, except Kahlan.

Kahlan: *sarcastic* "Funny."

The following morning everyone wakes well rested, well everyone except Mat anyway, who had another nightmare involving Sumora and a giant chainsaw, cept he didn't know it was called a chainsaw because he'd never seen one. But even in his dream he knew it was dangerous so ran from it none the less.

Perrin: "Mat, you don't look so good."

Mat: "Burn my bones if I don't. Bloody nightmares, burn that wretched little girl."

Perrin: "You mean Sumora?"

Mat: *squinty eye at Perrin* "I swear that little blighter is out to get me."

Perrin: *glances at Sumora, who is insistently skipping along beside Kahlan.* "Erm, if you say so."

Mat: *grabs Perrin by the shirt cuff* "I'm not crazy! Rand's crazy!"

Rand: *rubbing hands together in glee* "Sammael, oh, yes, but Demandred first. First of all I rid myself of him, then Sammael. Oh, yes…"

Truemythewise: "Yes that is a wheel of time quote taken straight out of Lord of Chaos and is one of my favorite moments"

Flicker: *sitting smugly*

Truemythewise: *glances sideways at Flicker* "What no cruel remarks?"

Flicker: "Huh, oh no, I just can't get over the beginning scene. It was pure brilliance."

Truemythewise: "Yes, you preformed very well. Now if Darkhound doesn't have my head for steeling you away and flaunting you about shamelessly before readers, I might actually enjoy you a little bit…"

Perrin: *giving Rand a quick sideways glance* "Yeah,"

Mat: "There's something not right about that girl."

Perrin: "And just what is right in this world ruled by a mad man?"

Mat: *releasing Perrin* "Good point, though, come to think of it, Rand isn't much better."

Perrin: "What's he got to do with anything?"

Mat: "Well, he's sort of a ruler back home and he's crazy."

Perrin: Yeah, but at least he doesn't go on random killing rampages."

Mat/Perrin: "Yet…"

Rand: "Oh, yess Demandred first."

Mat/Perrin: "shudder"

Richard: *giggle* "You said RANDom!"
