Chapter 2: Different Knowledges
Aria fidgeted and looked over at the clock. Five-o'clock. Her mom would come in to wake them up in about an hour. She couldn't wait. She was to be tested today. She would be so lucky! Uncle Rand could teach Dar, and so could Da, and Mum could teach her how to channel. Not like she didn't know how to. But there was something else. She had lain pondering over this for a few days. Uncle Perrin had taken her to see his friends, the wolves. Her, Dar, Alys and Fao. She could hear the wolves. Well, not exactly, but she could...understand them. She was going to have to talk to Uncle Perrin about this.
She took a candlestick and thumbmarked a piece of it to let her know when it was just about an hour. She grabbed the candle and went to her "uncles" room. She knocked on the door, and Perrin answered.
"Aria, what are you doing here?"
"I have to ask you about something."
"Come in," Perrin said, scratching his beard.
She entered the room.
"Uncle Perrin, the other day when you took us to see Wind, I...I could...hear her, well not really, but..."
"I...did you tell your mother about this?"
"No, I thought maybe you could help."
Perrin shook his head thoughtfully then launched into what he knew about communicating with wolves.
Alys shook her head as she watched her sister leave. She could talk to wolves. She shook her head again. "I didn't want to know that." Why did she have to know that. Why did she have to see Auroras?
She looked over at Dar. He could channel, and according to her mother, it wasn't something to be frightened of. But why would someone be frightened of a man who could channel? Why did it matter? She had asked Nynaeve, and she was told, it used to be that a man would go mad if he could channel. "But now its different, thanks to Rand." She had read stories, and was proud to have Rand as her near-uncle.
She looked at Dar. He had an Aurora. A confusing one at that. It looked like he would bring back some lost city. She shook her head once more and closed her eyes.
Forty-five minutes later, Aria snuck back into her bed. To be woken up by her mother.
"Come on, get dressed," Nynaeve said. "We have to see the Amyrlin."
Aria grinned at her two siblings and they grinned right back at her. In no time they were sitting infront of Siuan – who had been restored to the Amyrlin – and Rand. Nynaeve and Lan were outside talking when Perrin came up and sat down next to them.
"I have a matter to discuss with you guys."
"Alright? What is it?" Lan asked.
"Aria."
"Did she do something?"
"No, but she CAN do something."
"I don't understand..." Nynaeve said.
"She can talk to wolves."
The pair looked at each other.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No, I just thought you might like to know," Perrin said. "I'll be going now, Fao wants to see if he can train for Warders."
As he left, Rand, Siuan, Aria, Alys and Dar walked out. Siuan spoke.
"They are all to be trained. They are strong enough to become Accepted, yet they don't know enough yet. Therefore, I think they will spend some time, only a little as a Novice."
"When are they to be trained?"
"Now. And Nynaeve, could you teach the novice's this morning? I am going to show Aria, Alys and Dar their new rooms."
After a brief pause to hug their Father and Mother, the three children were ushered down the hall.
Aria and Alys were shown their rooms first. Aria's room had a bed on the left side, a dresser holding two white dresses, a pitcher of water and a wash basin, and a pail of water with a brush in it. Alys' room was the same but with the bed on the other side. There were one small hole in each room; over the bed, to a different room mate. Dar had the same type of room, but in a different section. Boys and Girls weren't allowed to mingle until Accepted, and only then in each-others rooms at day.
Aria and Alys changed into their new dresses and sat on their beds. They were told to stay in their own room until another Novice came to take them to their class. A knock on Aria's door startled her.
"Come in!" She said.
A meek girl – with flowing hair just like Aria's but in brown and it was straight not slightly wavy and golden yellow eyes – came in. "Hello, my name is Tala. I am thirteen. I have the room right next to you."
"My name is Aria, thirteen, too. And I have the room right next to you!" She laughed and so did Tala. Aria looked at her eyes. They were like her uncles. He had said that her eyes would probably change. But in a book, she had read a little of it, it said your eyes could also be blue, like hers.
"Are you ready for your class?"
"Yes."
Out in the hallway, Alys introduced her to Danai, the girl next to her. They waited until Dar came with the person in the room next to him, Tao. Tao had shaggy brown hair, short, like her brothers, and green eyes.
Aria fell in love at first sight, and Alys stared at the Auroras over her sisters and her brothers friends head. They were destined for each-other.
"Come on lets go to class."
The group ran to the first class and dropped to a curtsy infront of the two Aes Sedai. "Good morning Nynaeve Sedai, Darton Sedai."
It pained Nynaeve to see her children curtsying to her. Oh well, on with the lesson.
Like it? Long huh? Um, no Perrin and everyone else are NOT really uncles to everyone...but hey, who cares? And to my previous faithful reviewrs...I hope you are faithful here too!
Neela: God Dang it Woman you want to much from me! They knew they could channel cause they had been doing it, subconsciously AND an Accepted/Aes Sedai told them. So hah! Gr...I may redo it! MAY!! P.S. Is this better than Changes in Time?
