A/N- Sorry about the format about the other chapter! I didn't mean for it
to be like that. Sorry!
"The third is for what will be. The way will come but once. Be steadfast," the red sister stated.
I slowly walked toward the arch. I tried to calm myself; I was jumping in my skin. I did not know what to do. When I pushed myself through the arch, I was surrounded in light. I could not breath, I ......
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
I was in a palace. Well, it looked light a palace from what I could see. It had marble floors with lamps on the wall what looked like a hall. It was dark; the lamps barely gave off any light. I could barely see anything. I heard breathing behind me, deep long, loud breaths. I turned around slowly. There was no one there. I could still hear the breathing behind me. I turned around quickly to find a child. He was giggling. He had short brown hair and was wearing a long white robe. He suddenly jumped into my arms and hugged me.
"Where have you been? I have missed you so much" he said like he had always known me.
"Hello," I said looking confused.
"Well, where have you been?" he repeated.
He jumped down out of my grasp and started leading me down the hall. As we went along, the lights became brighter and I was able to see where I was.
The walls were white, and had carved figures on them. They looked like they were dancing. I must have been delirious. I looked up and saw what looked like tiles. They were every color imaginable. Suddenly, I felt something poking my leg. I looked down. It was the little boy.
"Why did you stop?" he asked.
"What did you say your name was?" I asked.
"My name is Alex you silly" he said as if I was suppose to know.
He started to tug on my dress, so I followed him. The hall seemed to go forever when I saw something different on the wall. It was a big painting of a queen, or what seemed to be. She wore a green dress with gold trim and a wide gold stripe down the middle of it. Her hair was blonde and pinned up into a bun. She looked oddly familiar. She was very young, too young to be a queen and wore a necklace that resembled the one I wore.
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
The little boy was staring at the marvelous picture as if he had never seen it before in his life. He looked lifeless, staring wide eyes and his mouth wide open. I shook him. He soon realized what he was doing and turned a symbol around that I thought was carved in the frame. Suddenly, the painting swung into a cellar type hallway. The little boy told me to hurry. So I jumped into it. The walls looked wet. I was walking and soon slipped because the floor was slimy too.
"Hurry" he said, "you don't want to be late for the party."
"What party are we going to?" I asked.
"The Lord Godwin and Lady Celia's party" he said, "You invited me to come, thank goodness."
"Who are Lord Godwin and Lady Celia?" I said inquisitively.
"Your sister and her husband," he said. "Your sister does not like me. She disagrees with your liking of my brother. What do you think? I think that she hates me. They never have liked me."
"I...I don't know."
I felt awkward. I did not know this little boy, and yet we were best friends. He spoke of my sister. I knew my mother was pregnant, yet I did not know that it was a girl, or how soon she was coming. I would love to meet her.
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
We came upon a hard metal door. It had very thin, tall spicks on it. The little boy knocked on the wall next to the door. A big, muscular man opened the door and quickly bowed when he put his eyes on us.
"Rise" Alex said, "Take us to Lady Celia."
"Yes sir" the doorman said.
The big man turned around and led us through many doorways and halls. After a long walk, we came upon a big door with a symbol on it, the same symbol as my necklace. I suddenly remembered that I had received the necklace before I left for Tar Valon. The painting I saw must have been my sister. The doorman went next to the door and turned a symbol that looked like the one Alex had turned earlier. The door slowly opened. The man led us into the huge round room. There was a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It was the biggest one I had ever seen. The walls moved, like the ones outside, but the figures were much bigger. They were, also, seemed to be talking, yet no sound came from them.
As soon as we walked in, Alex bowed down. I was too interested in the walls to notice. When I finally was done looking at the walls, I looked straight ahead to see the lady in the picture sitting on a throne. She stood up and walked toward me.
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
"Admiring the walls Allison?" she asked.
"They are very intricate."
"I know. I was not expecting you. It is surprising that you even showed up." She said.
"Why was it so surprising?" I asked.
"Godwin, come please." She said.
From behind the throne of Celia, Tomlin al'Mae walked out. That is Tomlin, not Godwin.
"Tomlin!" I screamed.
"Do not call him that! That is no longer his name. He is Lord Godwin, my husband," she said fiercely.
The words shattered my heart. The one man that I had ever loved since my childhood married my sister. We were the perfect match. He loved me, or at least that is what he told me. I started to cry. He had betrayed what I thought was love.
"What is the matter Allison?" she asked.
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
I did not answer, instead I ran, ran as fast as I could away from Tomlin, and my wicked sister. I ran and ran until I was in an unfamiliar room. I sat down against the door and cried.
A knock came upon the door. I did not say anything. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, throwing me on the floor. I quickly stood up, wiping the tears from my face. The person that came through the door was Tomlin.
"Why are you here? Why did you lie to me? Why did you marry my sister?" I asked.
"Allison, I missed you. I love you too. I did not want to marry your sister. She was not the right one for me, you are. I want you to marry me. I did not choose to marry her. My father and my mother arranged it for me. I disagreed the whole time please come with me and marry me. I can arrange it; I know that I can. I really love you Allison. I want to spend that rest of my life with you. Allison, please marry me. This is my proposal. Allison..."he said.
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
"I love you too Tomlin." I said.
A golden arch appeared beside me. I did not want to leave Tom. I was not going to. I could not leave him. He really did love me and I loved him. It was the truest love it could ever be.
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
"Allison, come with me. I will go tell the news to my wife, or my old wife. Thank goodness that you came. I could not imagine a day without you." He said smiling.
The way will come but once. Be steadfast.
"No, no. I..." I said.
I started to back up; tears were running down my face. I could not break his heart like this. I could not live knowing that I left him here, but I have to become an Aes Sedai. I have to go on with my life. Tears were running faster down my face.
"Allison, where are you..." the last words I heard him say.
I suddenly felt cold water coming down on me. They could not tell I was crying. I am forever scared from this event. The Amyrlin was there, smiling at her.
"You are washed clean, Allison Mayara of Kandor. You are washed clean of all ties that bind you to the world. You come to us washed clean, in heart and soul. You are Allison Mayara, Accepted of the White Tower. You are sealed to us, now." I heard her say.
"The third is for what will be. The way will come but once. Be steadfast," the red sister stated.
