Chapter 10: Obtaining the shawl

Egwene dressed in silence. She was back in her own room. That's what Nynaeve and her agreed would be best for the ritual. The light of her single lamp caused her to stumble around as she moved around her room dressing, and caressing the ring on her finger. Finally, she would be Aes Sedai, no more pretending.

Once she was dressed, she laid out her few belongings that she had on the bed except for a shift and white stockings that could be worn by a new Accepted. She sat on the bed, waiting. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Getting up she opened it.

Seven sisters awaited her in the night, one from each Ajah, each wearing their shawl covered in vines. Without a word she stepped outside and closed the door behind her. They formed a ring around her and no one spoke. Silence was required.

They continued onto Nynaeve'

The few things laid on Nynaeve's bed were the few things that meant much to her. She left a few clothes behind. Her dress, she kept...why she didn't know. But it meant a lot, for some reason.

She got up to open the door at a knock. A sister from each Ajah greeted her. And Egwene. She gave the girl a brief smile before stepping into a ring of silence continuing onto Elayne's room.

Elayne looked at the things on the bed that meant almost nothing to her. She laughed quietly to herself. She would never really see this room again. And she didn't care. She was going to be Aes Sedai.

As if in answer to her thought, there was a knock on the door and seven Aes Sedai, one from each Ajah, were in a circle. She walked into them, and they formed a circle around the three Accepted on the way to Aes Sedai-hood.

She smiled and almost squealed as they walked to the chamber where she and Nynaeve and Egwene were tested.

The ring of Aes Sedai broke apart to form a line behind the tree of them. She and the other two faced the doorway.

Heh, heh? How was that huh? Express in reviews please and thank you!
