In the empire of Cairhien, a child was born into the royal family of the Damodred's. As celebrations erupted around the family the baby was announced to be a girl.

Dalresin Damodred, a scholar, brother to powerful kings, and her father, held his little girl proudly. "We shall name her Moiraine, Moiraine damodred. The heir of the Damodred's throne."

"Shes beautiful." He whispered as he kissed her forehead.

Months passed and moiraine grew to look more and more like her father, stunning features, light skin, dark brown hair with large hazel brown eyes.

Dalresin spoke to his wife at night as he put Moiraine to bed, "Shes going to be a powerful queen one day Miane".

She smiled but scoffed slightly. "She might be Dalresin, but with your kindness and love she will not prosper." He raised an eyebrow at her comment and turned to her, expecting her to continue. She sighed but did not back down. "Look at the state of Cairhien. By the time she becomes old enough to handle the throne, light knows how the situation here will be weaved. She must train to be ruthless, to be able to get her way."

Dalresin sighed, he never agreed with her vision of power. Not willing to argue with her over this for the night, he simply nodded and went to bed.

Moiraine was 3 when she was brought into a medics room, where she met two babies. She tilted her head slightly confused for a few seconds then got on her tiptoes leaned towards them and smiled. "You are my baby sisters."

Dalresin went beside the two and asked Moiraine "What name did you pick from the list for them, little one?"Moiraine thought for a second before smiling at her choices."Anevere and Innloine." He patted her head happily before proudly announcing their names to the people.

With that the Damodred family was complete, parents and 3 bundles of joy. The potential heirs to the throne.

All 3 siblings grew and were quick learners, Moiraine being the oldest had begun learning with a private tutor in a few years. Alongside, without complaining, she would help around the house with her siblings while her parents worked.

It became evident to Miane that Moiraine had taken after her father, along with looks, her behaviorism was the same. As she watched Moiraine grow she gave her some love however had sensed something and had a distaste for her. Anevere, who loved Moiraine, was also following in her footsteps. Wanting to be, in Anevere's eyes, like the nicest and strongest person she knew.

Innloine on the other hand did not follow Moiraine or her father, and Miane chose to take advantage of it. Since she was a child Miane instilled it in the child's head that the wheel was ruthless and she should be the same. Moiraine despite her age seemed to realize her mother did not favor them and soon began sticking to Anevere, protecting and defending her at all costs.

Moiraine was a very curious child, she used to spend time after her classes with her dad wanting to know what they did for work. It all seemed very interesting at first, with words she didn't seem to understand yet like political allies and enemy boundaries.

At around 10, soon turning 11, Moiraine could see that things around her were not right. She didn't know what, but her parents began spending more time working and she had to make more of an effort to take care of her siblings.

One night she came into one of her fathers rooms where he sat with all his advisors. Dalresin looked around confused when everyone stood up and bowed."Moiraine what are you doing? It is not safe for you here."

"Anevere got hurt outside, I can't find the bandages." He had been protecting his daughters diligently outside the house with guards, how had this happened. "Hurt outside? How, Moiraine, weren't my guards with you?" "I don't know, she said a man tried to hurt her. She said before trying to hit her he said something like the wheel weaves as the wheel wills." The people of the meeting hall froze, as Moiraine continued. "A passerby said the man asked Anevere how she was related to you. She said she was the second sibling in the family and the man smiled and said second then first, before he could do anything I reached and ran away with her".

Dalresin spoke with a low voice, an attempt to stay calm for his daughter. "Blood and ashes. Assign more guards around my daughter's, especially Moiraine and Anevere. Call for the army." Saying this he left the room with Moiraine quickly running behind.

"Dad what is happening?"

"First we take care of Anevere, then i tell you what's happening to Cairhien. Okay?"Moiraine nodded and after finishing their task sat down with her dad forcing him to speak.

"Moiraine, Cairhien isn't as safe as it once was." He was interrupted by Miane who harshly told Moiraine to be more careful outside and blaming her for putting Anevere and Innloine's lives at risk. Dalresin looked at her with a confused expression, he knew Miane was not fond of her but why was she behaving like this. "Moraine does she always speak to you this way?"

The little girl nodded while her dad frowned, "Play with Anevere darling, I need to have a word with your mother and when I get back I will tell you everything you want to know." He kissed her cheeks and left the room.

"Why do you speak to her this way? I know you aren't fond of her ways, she is kind, forgiving but that is all. You treat her like she is someone you don't want and no I am not talking just about what happened a few minutes ago, its been going on for a few years. Light, your behavior has changed towards everyone not just her, your presence in the court is also hostile."

Miane harshly responded cutting him off. "Don't blame me for your faults, this nation is crumbling, you have not done anything of much use either." This time it was Dalresin who angrily spat back, "Have not done of any use? Miane in times of crisis I and my brother held the people together, we kept that unity, trust in the military, in us. Ever since you have taken a ruling role the people faith in us is being lost, you have managed to break the unity we had. By the light do you want to break this family as well?"

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me, you know very well I am the reason they retreated. As for the people I do not care, there are so many, losing a few lives never hurt. We must protect our nation, our name and family. As for your claims for our family, something is off about Moiraine Dalresin, she isn't who we think she is."

"DAD." A girls voice yelled from another room. They turned to find Moiraine unconscious at their door, while Anevere looked at something in the distance with eyes full of fear.
