Part 5-Rumbling


You do have to admit, I was right in that.

Maybe. It's been three thousand years without any threat.

We had five thousand years before the Dominion.

We also crushed them in less than a decade.

We didn't have the Chora then.

Granted. Without your virus, I would never have been able to fight you.

The Dome is the single largest floating structure in existence. Between the grav-free zone at the center and the gargantuan sa'angreal crystals pointing out from every axis, it is the pinnacle of Power-aided construction. Over four hundred Master Aes Sedai are permanent research employees work daily, and nearly a thousand can rent space that is best suited to their needs. If you need a Gating platform, the west side[/]


The Chora around Aginor's town were slowly dying. The town was unaware what was happening. Aginor and I had worked for a long time on that little virus. The pacifying effect would slowly but surely fade, and when it was gone the tree itself would rot from the inside out. Poetic justice.

But we were only halfway finished.

Moghedian spoke up. She had slept with everyone in the group already (including Semirhage) to get in, and had proven her worth once inside by other means. Well, actually the same means, but on those outside the Circle.

"The Chora dying won't be enough."

-Why-

She gave a slight shiver as she turned to face me. Moghedian has never been comfortable around those who are more experienced than her.

"Agression has nearly been bred out of the species."

"#%$."

I couldn't tell which one of the others had spoken. It didn't matter. The sentiment was universal.

-We can't stop now. If Sammael figures out what we are up to, he'll try and stop us. You gave him no clues-

Moghedian just grinned and arched her back. Rahvin's eyes tracked her movement.

"No, I had his…full attention."

-Good. Enough of this playing. I believe that I have the answer-

They were all paying attention to me now, even Semirhage. She spoke up.

"You know how to turn back the tide?"

-No, not exactly. I have an idea though, and I know who can help-

Puzzlement on their faces. They knew all those that I had been quietly approaching about the Task, and only Demandred might join us. And he knew practically nothing beyond how to Channel.

One word was all it took.

-Lanfear-
