Chapter two Memories of rain
** thoughts --- change of view (character wise)
Nyneave ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- I walked down the dirt path that these villagers call a road, seeing as I had to visit one of the Al'Caars since one of their family had taken sick. Yet on the way back home, I ran into two outsiders. They did not belong in the village, and they were in Feast day clothes fit for a larger, grander city. It was a man and a woman, but the woman seemed the dominant of the two. I could see the amount of power she contained. She was one of the witches.
The woman began with a "where is your wisdom child", though she couldn't see my face, which my hair, as well as the hood of my cloak, covered to hide the bandages I keep around my eyes. I 'looked' up at the person who spoke and all I heard was a gasp. Swallowing a grunt that would have passed for my form of laughter, I just stood there. She saw the bandages and the scars I guess. The man beside her seemed even tenser than before, but only I could have noticed.
The one trick I learned was not to speak through others minds alone, but to use mouth movements as well. "I am the wisdom, child" I 'said' with distain dripping from my words.
"My deepest pardons, I was looking for some salve for a sore back. I have ridden far and am not used to the strain" The woman said with false confidence. "and my name is Moiraine, this is Lan, we are here to study the history of the Two Rivers. Maybe you could answer a few of my questions" This woman obviously did not want to talk to me but she seemed to desperately want answers. I led them to my house, which was not very far, and tried very hard to hide my amusement.
Lan ---------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as I saw the girls faced I nearly choked breathing. *where did she get those scares* was one of the first things that ran through my mind, but his real question was how did she survive them. The color of her hair also bothered him. It was a deep Blood red.
I followed my bonded to the Wisdoms house, where she was invited in. I followed only a step behind, and what I saw in the house confused me. It was completely empty except for a small table, where there was a mortar and pestle. The walls were bare except for shelves that held many different herbs. I saw all this in a matter of seconds, until my eyes rested on one thing in particular. It was a metal staff with the oddest edge on it. Moiraine felt my sudden confusion but when she looked around, everything was normal, in which she dismissed his suspicion with a small wave of her hand.
*This should be an interesting visit* I thought to myself. I continued to search my surrounding when all of a sudden the wisdom spoke "There is no need to search for danger, this place is safe". This caused me to stare openly, *I thought she was blind*. The wisdom continued mixing herbs, "I may blind but I am not stupid" she said, which caused him to look at Moiraine. I am sure all she felt in the bond shock, * it was almost like the wisdom read my mind*. I look back at the wisdom and notice that she is putting the mixture into a jar. *That means we must leave*. I wander why I feel disappointed at that thought.
All of a sudden Moiraine, who was talking to the wisdom the whole time I was lost in thought, asked for her name. The wisdom tilts her head up, looking at her in what I suppose was thought, and only one thing came out....
Nyneave ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
"Nyneave" I said, after a moment. "My name is Nyneave". I walked them to the door, where I said one last thing in passing "The winds change, Aes Sedai, thing of old being reborn. Be careful, for something might bite you" and with that I shut the door, after seeing their shocked faces one last time. I laugh at the irony of my words, or tried to laugh. *I haven't laughed since long before the War of the Gods * I thought to myself. Though, that man did feel quit familiar...almost like he was someone that I had felt before. I never did like it when that happened.
"Ah" I thought, the pains again, something is going to happen, and soon. I go to the window and see something standing outside. A cloak that the wind did not touch and eyes that tried to show me fear. I continued to look at him, and finally he turned away, but not before I saw the look of fear appear on his face. Beasts of the dark land come. A message from an old friend. The war begins again. It's going to rain blood.
Lan `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sitting on the window ledge, I begin to wonder *where have I seen that girl before*. It's raining now, I didn't even see the storm coming, it moved in so fast. *where have I seen her before*, than all of a sudden, a memory emerged ~*what shall we name him, a girl asked me, what about Malaki?*~
Groaning, I held my head, that memory seemed so far away, yet my head hurts like I ran into a wall. Then I felt something else. "Moiraine, there was a Fade here." I said grimly. Moiraine just felt shocked. I continue to look out the window; all the village people were going from house to house, exchanging gifts and food. All the houses looked festive, being winternight, except for one, which was the wisdoms house. Most people looked afraid to go near the house, yet one person walked right to the door. She quickly went in as to not be seen, and *wait, when was I able to see that far*.
All of a sudden the wisdoms door burst open and Nyneave runs out, holding that staff with an odd end. The girl who was also inside ran quickly the other way, yelling at the villages. I couldn't make out what she was saying until the major opened the door, and said in an almost hysterical voice, that Trollocs were coming. I hadn't felt anything with the taint of the Dark One except for that one Fade. Then all of a sudden, a sensation felt like it was ran into my head. I quickly ran out with Moiraine gaping at me, and one word comes before I run out the door, "Shadowspawn".
