A trip to Tear, A mission to accomplish

[Tristan]

Sleeping well for a while and fitfully for some more, he awoke the smell of food in the room, opening his eyes he saw Moraine sitting at the table thinking.

He rose and stretched, nodding to Moraine "Good morning" and checking the now awake woman's bindings and gag. He tossed his shirt back on and sat at the table. "She drank the tea I take it?" recieving the nod he expected. He ate the food that had been brought, she heating it without his request. Once he finished he began to dress.

"I suggest we take the coach and I remain in it with this trash while you speak tot he Herb Woman." Lifting the woman from the floor. "What is this sellsoul's name anyway?"

I've noticed that one some proboards sites, people can get randomly blocked out of things. Also, sometimes a board or thread will simply stop working and refuse to take posts.

It is a freak happening, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

*OOC I'm just going to RP something. I hope it fits in, or will fit in with the story*


Arien arrived in Tear atop her stallion Hawkwing, her legs were sore from the constant riding for days. Not just the soreness but the gash she had on her left shoulder, she did not care to recall how she got that. Ruffians, I showed them. I must seek out an herb woman. She knew of a well respected one in the area, not far from the Inn she would stay at.

She rode on to find the Herb Woman's house, galloping through the crowded streets. Finally she came to the house. Riding to the back of the house, she tied Hawkwing up onto a low tree branch and knocked on the door. After about 5 minutes the Herb Woman answered the door. This woman was also an "eyes and ears" for the Blue Ajah. "I seek some blue-root tea, I am quite fatigued, and I need something for this gash on my shoulder." The Herb Woman looked at Arien decidingly for a moment and then welcomed Arien in.

"What brings you here Sister, if I may ask?" Arien went on to tell the woman that she has some tower business to take care of. The Herb Woman tended to her fatigue and wound. She soon felt as good as new. Arien, for some strange reason she could not understand, decided to stay at the Herb Woman's house for awhile. Something told her to wait there.

~~~~Alright back to this thread then~~~~~~~~~~

She nearly missed a step when Arien had said she was on the same route as them. And the fact that she knew, was disconcerting. The eyes and ears must be for all even to watch fellow sisters. After all Arien was the head. She nodded and lead Arien to the camp fire.

"Arien Sedai, this is my new warder Tristan. I didnt think that word traveled so quickly. Tristan this is Arien Sedai" She couldnt say out loud that she was the head, but she would whisper it to him then. Aes Sedai business was Aes Sedai business and Tristan knew that she would devulge all she needed to to him.

They sat by the fire and and talked of the seanchan. She smiled to Tristan, giving him the ok to put his two cents in. It looked as if he was the one with the steel and combat knowledge to get them in and out of this one. She told Arien of the attempt on her life and the woman Nikki they held captive in the tent. She winced letting the words out about that foul woman, but she had no other choice. Arien said she was coming and she needed to know what bagage they had.

********************************************

Nodding to Arien he looked about the camp. The mention of Nikki made him start. "If you ladies will excuse me I need to check on her. It is about time for another tea." Rising and setting the kettle of water back over the fire, he then turned and headed for the tent. Re-emerging a short time later with Nikki. Half carrying her to the fire. He settled her, sitting on a log near the warmth and then perked his ears up and looked around the camp. He sat with the Aes Sedai for the remainder of the evening, he spoke little and relented his place in the tent for Arien to sleep. Watchign as Moraine set the wardings that would alert if anything dangerous came close. He arranged himself by the fire for the evening.

When morning broke he was alrady up, preparing to travel again. Most of the camp was already broken down by the time Moraine and Arien emerged from the tent, which he promptly broke down and packed away.

"Breakfast will only be moment Aes Sedai."

[Tony]

o.o.c. I'm sorry you guys. I didn't mean for this to happen. It just happened on its own.

[ArienSedai]

Arien packed her belongings into her saddlebags and loaded them onto her horse. She glanced at this Nikki woman that was being held captive. She wondered what the woman could have done. She glided up to Moraine and asked, "What is that woman doing with us? What crime has she comitted?" Arien didn't like Nikki's stare. She had bad vibes floating off her. If only she were talented at reading auras, she could come to the bottom of many things.

She waited to be led the way.

[Moiraine]

This one tried to kidnap me and hand me off to the seanchan in falme"Moraine said in a low voice. " I couldnt kill her. Tristan thought it a good idea to get into falme and find out why they would be after me? Or if it is some bigger thing they are after. She sedaited with that herb tea. She cannot channel while on it. But she is strong in the power. I cannot hold the weave all the time. I have been rotating between the tea and shielding and .... Tristan" She didnt need to say Tristan is the one that was giving her the swollen lip and black eye.

"Tristan, how quickly can we leave?" She smiled at him as he approaced and answered.


**ooc take us out on the road tristan hugs**

[Tristan]

"After the two of you eat." Handing each of them a plate of eggs and bacon. Tristan packed the few reamining items and forced two more cups of tea down Nikki's throat. Taking the Aes Sedai's plates and watching as they mounted the carriage, he had tied Ariens horse to the carriage already. He then escorted Nikki tot he carriage and helped her in. He made one final walk around the camp and made sure as many identifying marks were wped away.

He then returned back tot he carriage checking with Moraine he clambered into the drivers seat and started off on the road to Falme.

[Moiraine]

The Ride was long and bumpy. She and Arien did alot of catching up and spoke of ways to get around being noticed in Falme. The closer they got though. The more uneasy she felt. She tried to mask the bond, not wanting Tristan to worry so over it.

They were taking a great risk doing this. She told Arien of the idea of Finding his Lord and handing Nikki over and trying to find out anything they could about this.

[ArienSedai]

Weaving thick flows of air around her and Moraine so Nikki would not hear their conversation, Arien decided now was a good a time as any to mention the missing Aes Sedai in Falme. "Two sisters were sent to Falme weeks ago to seek out information on the Seanchan's moves and to find out their next moves, well, in the process, they have come up missing. There is reason to believe they have been taken as damane." Arien had to almost choke that word out. She hated the idea of women who could channel being bound like dogs. "I am not sure, but that seems like the most logical thing they would do with Aes Sedai."

Arien eyed Nikki. That woman Arien did not like. She waited for Moraine to say something, eyeing Nikki now and again with every bump the carriage made.

[Moiraine]

She saw the glow of the power surround Arien and the weave keeping their conversation to themselves. Her heart sank as Arien told her of the two missing sisters. Knowing it was the only feasable answer. She didnt know what to say, but now the paths were set. There was no going astray. They had to find these sisters, find out why this nikki was in league with seanchan and get the hell out of Falme before their own necks were caught in an adam. She shivered noticably and shook her head. She couldnt believe this was happening.

**ooc ok tristan take it away**

[Tristan]

Tristan trundled along with the carriage, noting the unnatural silence within and gifuring tat the Aes Sedai were talking amongst themselves.

He hoped they remmebered to dose the girl with the cold tea he had saved. But he was confident in their ability to manage that, he maintained a steady pace and they chewed up miles, stopping only to rest the horses. They made a small village about an hour before dusk and he pulled into the village inn's stable yard and swung down from the seat, opening the door to the carriage.

As Arien and Moraine stepped out he whispered to Moraine about going to procure rooms and disappeared inside. Re-emerging a few moments later and gesturing to the back stairs. "The rooms are just inside there, much less ocnspicuous to use those than the stairs inside. At least until we deposit the package."

Taking Nikki by the arm and hauling her out of the carriage, but letting her walk in front of him unbound up the stairs and into the room.

[ArienSedai]

As Arien walked into her room, she looked around, she could use the rest after all of her travelling. She hoped the "package" had been deposited. She put her things in the wardrobe and warded it. Closing and locking the door to her room as she went out, she glided over to Moraine's room. Knocking before she entered she saw Moraine putting some of ther things away.

"Have you delivered your "package" yet?" She was hoping they did because she needed to go get something to eat. She was famished from her travels.
