The start of the chain gang

Nataku was dumped by the mysterious, or not so mysterious considering it had had

a sign above it, gateway in a basement which was apparently part of the place where

reincarnated dragons, braidtuggers, their warders, cadsuanes, and various other

crazy people happened to frequent. While Nataku was contemplating just what to

do next another gateway *there certainly seemed to be a lot of them around*

appeared w/ a sign that said `from sword of truth dimension'(authors note: this is

from the Sword of Truth series and has nothing to do w/ wot, but lea and I really

like this character so Im going w/ creative liscence and bringing her in)

sot dimension: Cara was feeding the chipmunks at the confessors palace, Reggie,

the one missing part of its tail was acting very strange.it was hopping up and down

in circles.strange even for a chipmunk. While watching this strange spectacle a

gateway opened and reggie stopped.what it was doing.he sniffed the air and ran

through, "nooooooooooooooooo!" Cara not wanting to lose her chipmunk friend ran

through too.

Nataku watched the gateway as first a chipmunk and then a woman in red leather

came through it, the chipmunk promptly fell asleep while the woman stood up

looking rather confused. When she spotted Nataku she stared, Nataku stared right

back, they both stared. While staring Nataku decided that the chipmunk should be

staring too, interestingly, it woke up and did just that. After about ten minutes they

all(including the chipmunk) came to an understanding: everyone else in the room

was insane. That settled, the woman in red leather decided to speak "my name is

Cara and this is reggie," she paused "reggie is a chipmunk and I am a mord sith"

"oh, im Nataku but for the rest of this fanfic I will be refered to as N, and I am an

Aes Sedai" another pause "what is a mord sith?"

"a mord sith protects the lord rahl, tortures people, and somtimes feeds chipmunks,

but our main purpose is to stand around and look threatening" N nodded "what is an

aes sedai?"

"aes sedai are channelers that spend most of their time plotting against each other,

confusing people, and in some cases making misguided attempts to save the

world.im doing that now, want to help?"

Cara nodded "ok"

N-"want to be my warder?"

C-"what do I do?"

N-"stand around and look threatening"

C-"sure."

~*~*~

cara, now N's warder, and N -reggie had mysteriously dissapeared- had left the

basement in search of the dragon reborn. and N was getting bored, never a good

thing.finally they walked into a room where a woman w/ a long braid was sitting

examining a number of thin black and white discs. An aes sedai if the shawl she

was wearing was anything to go by *and a yellow* N thought w/ disdain, she had

yet to find a yellow that didnt think she was gift from the creator himself just

because she had a talent for healing.the braided woman looked up at their arrival

J

nyneave looked up sensing another channeler in the room, surprised to find an aes

sedai, a blue by her shawl, standing in the doorway next to a woman in a full-body

red leather outfit. The first question on Nyneaves mind was `how can anyone wear

something so spactacularly scandalous?' she sniffed and then the thought was

replaced w/ `are they evil?' considering that they hadnt made a grand entrance

boasting about how they were un-killable and they hadnt tried to kill her yet, nyna

was leaning towards `no'; the next question was `are they a threat?' because you

didnt have to be evil to be a threat *just look at cadsuane* the one did look very

threatening *must be the leather*; "who are you? And what are you doing here?"

nyna asked smoothly.

"my name is N, im an AS from the past, this is my warder as of about 20 minutes

ago, she's from another reality, and we're here to save the world," she replied.

Now this was interesting, one was from the past and the other from another world

the wheel really did weave as it willed.strange but Rand was ta'verin, the

strongest since Hawkwing, which conveniently explained away everything from

bubbles of evil to how every battle he was involved in, w/ thousands of men

involved (channeling or otherwise), was easily won w/o any major problems or

complications. So that was dealt w/, they were here because the wheel wanted them

to be, and the wheel was on their side because if it wasnt everyone was pretty much

doomed. " well you had better talk to Rand then" getting up, nyna motioned for N

and cara to follow.

~*~*~

Nyna led them down a series of halls until they entered a `nicely sized' sitting room

aka throne room.*honestly some people just couldnt let go of the whole `bigger is

better' thing.*

Rand was sitting around waiting.for something.he really wasnt sure what, his

ta'verin self just attracted things he needed.or really didnt want, like cadsuane,

but something was coming, he was sure of it. As the door opened everyone else in

the room looked up, bashere, logain, cadsuane, min, loial, and various other

ashaman and sla-aes sedai-not slaves no.nyneave walked in the door looking

almost happy. Some thing was not right, in fact it was very wrong, this was

nyneave.judging by the looks on every bodies faces, except cadsune and logain,

and himself of coarse because he was the dragon reborn and nobody could read

him, they noticed the absurdity of a nyna that wasnt about to bite everybodies'

heads off. This was strange, it got even stranger when she was followed by what

was apparently an aes sedai and a woman in skintight red leather.that one looked

threatening.rand glanced at cadsuane, who looked about ready to bolt for the

door.apparently she knew them, or at least one of them. Min looked at the

unknown aes sedai and immediately started laughing.

n surveyed everyone in the room, there was the dragon reborn, and laughing

histerically in his lap was the viewer if she wasnt mistaken.and

cadsuane.*interesting*."I am N and this is my warder cara, everybody needs to

go to mat's base camp."

Everyone just stared at her for a second before cadsuane stated calmly "you

dissapeared a few hundred years ago along w/ that friend of yours lea and her

warder, and were declared dead by the tower not long after."

"yes" was n's brilliant reply.

"then what makes you think that you can come in here and start ordering evryone

around?"

just then a chipmunk climbed through the window carrying something, and cara

speaking for the first time called out "reggie!" said chipmunk stopped in front of n

and dropped what it was carrying and ran over to cara who picked him up. Min who

was just beginning to get control of her laughter looked at n and then cadsuane and

burst out laughing again. N calmly picked up what was apparently a damane leash

and collar, and walked over to cadsuane who stared defiantly back, either she didnt

know what it was or she was banking on n not having the audacity to leash a fellow

aes sedai, the next thing anybody knew she had a collar on her neck and n was

wearing the bracelet.the look of indignation on cadsuane's face was so comical all

of the ashaman and rand started to laugh, them being the only ones who dared to

aside from min who was already laughing. Cadsuane, though she could no longer

channel w/o n's permission, was not helpless she hit rand in the side w/ a stick,

hard. How she acquired said stick, nobody knew but since they were in a room w/ a

ta'verin it didnt matter. Rand having bit hit rather painfully started crying which in

turn caused the other ashaman to laugh so hard there were tears flowing down their

faces, min stopped laughing, looked around and muttered "well that takes care of

that"
