After leaving the Borderlands Amon Toh wondered from land to land. He paid his way by working various martial trades. Now and then he would find a job as a guard if he found a town or outpost that he felt was large enough that he would not gain too much notice and stay for a month or so, saving every copper that he could, then when he felt the pull he would continue is trip towards Andor. He would try to travel as a merchants guard but if he couldn’t find a merchant train headed the way he needed to go he would continue on his own cutting thought the wilds. With his earnings he bought a pack horse to hold all that he had come by during his travels.
He loved his Sword which he decided to name the Talon of the Dragons honor, Chi far al Aman Ji, or simply his Chi; but found that its wasn’t always the best choice for fighting in some areas. He was glad that his parents had him learn to use all types of weapons, and soon had amassed a quite impressive collection of both martial and exotic weapons. He would study the shape of different weapons that he had seen and draw them in his journal. He would often try combining different designs trying to see if he could find one that would work. When he managed to make a design that he felt would work he would find a weapon smith and trade him a few of the many weapons that he had kept from fallen opponents and a few coins for a prototype. When one of these prototypes worked he would then find a master weapon smith and have a pair made. Sometimes the design was so incredible that when shown to a true master weapon smith he would agree to make the weapons for free if he could only keep a copy of the design.
Most of the weapons that he created were similar to daggers or knives and now and then he would come up with some sort of sword, but most of these weapons where meant for dual welding or throwing. Some of his most common designs that he used where: a throwing knife with three short blades, a dagger that had two blades that had just one long edge and at the top of the hilt he had a round opining where he could put his finger to switch the way that he was holding it, and one of the oddest was a four bladed dagger that had a rounded joint with a hole in the center where he could spin it. He could wield it as a dagger or decapitate some one with a good throw.
As he was riding into the town, having joined the road earlier with the first light of the day, he couldn’t help but to size up the other people on the road, passing most people on with little more then a glance. However with the few people who where aware of the others on the road more then enough to avoid a collision they noticed him and more then a few of those stared. This man was quite out of the ordinary. He was taller then all but a few, he had hair that when to his waist held by four thick brass studded leather bands, and he had more weapons on his then most people would think to find in a guard tower. He rode a tall horse that had the looks of a war horse to it and lead a sturdy pack horse with all manner of hilts sticking out. And the oddest of all was a long canvas sack with a hilt sticking out. He made his way thought the town picking out an in, “The Gleeman’s Hole” and got a room then after storing his belongings and then when to the common room for a drink. Sitting in the corner he sat watching every person in the room. He felt like he was waiting, waiting for what was the question.

Alicia had been traveling for nearly a week now, and yet to her it seemed as if she had just left Tar Valon. Most Aes Sedai never left the White Tower, but Alicia was a Blue.. Blue's always loved to travel, and find the journey to be wonderful. Alicia had been Aes Sedai for nearly 10 years, and yet never bonded a warder, mainly beacasue she had not found the right one yet. As she road into the village her blue slik riding dress attarcted alot of stares, and many people bowed... A Aes Sedai not wishing to conceal her idenity was quickly noticed, andin most lands treated like royalty.
Alicia arrived at the inn called the The Gleeman’s Hole, though not the best inn ever it would suit her for the night. She never stayed in small villaged for more than a day or so, mainly becasue attracting to much attention could be bad. She dismounted her horse, and paid the stable boy to put her in good care, and entered the inn.. Already the inn was full of people laughing, and drinking to there hearts content. Alicia was greeted by the inn keeper, " Greetings Aes Sedai... Not to many sisters stay in my inn, but I havea private study you may use.." Alicia, " That will not be nesscary my dear keeper... I will sit over in the corner table, that way I may watch these happy people.." Kepper, " As you wish Aes Sedai... Anything I can get you?" Alicia, " Just Tea..." The inn keepere rushed off to fetch fresh tea, as Alicia crossed the room.. As she made her way to her table a man caught her eye, and for just a moment her cool Aes Sedai gaze looked upon him, before she took her seat. After seating herself she took out a small peice of paper, and began to write various letters to sisters, and her eyes and ears in variou palces.

Amon noticed every one that came and went from the tavern. After a while he was starting to get board but then a woman walked in, and he knew that he was really going to have to watch his steps. He knew what she was immediately; he would have known from just one look at that ageless face, even with out the groveling of the inn keeper. He was careful not to let it show but he noticed every movement that she made, especially when her gaze stayed on him just a fraction longer then average. He knew he would have to be careful not to channel at all.
“Keeper; could I get a mug of your best ale and what ever is hot from the kitchen” said Amon.
“Right away good sir” said the keeper
Amon wasn’t that hungry but he decided that eating would be a good cover for watching the Aes Sedai. The food came and after looking it over and paying the inn keeper and set to eating at a good pace, being careful to not stand out. To any observer he would appear as a lone traveler enjoying his first good meal in a while, not too hungry but glad to have a good tasty meal.

Alicia sipped at her tea as she sealed the last of the letters to be sent off. She gazed out observeing the many travlers, and local farmers talking of there days work. Though all seemed normal she had noticed that she had caught the eye of one man, though he was trying very hard to act natural about it she knew...After all in her years spent within the tower she was taught by many blues the game of houses, and knowing everything that is going on in a room is one of the first lessons. The inn keeper came back to refill her pot of tea, and asked if there was anything else he could do for this evening, though he was not sure what else he could do for a Aes Sedai. Alicia, " Please see that these letters are sent off as soon as possible...." Alicia quickly wrote something on a piece of paper.. Alicia, " Also give this to the man over in the corner... That will be all.." The inn keeper bowed once more, and spend off to complete his task.. The small sheet of paper had few words upon it, but was folded up.. Those who try to hard to not been seen are usually caught first.
Watching a Aes Sedai is not very wise, though not uncommon in
these days. While anyone should step lightly while in presence
of an Aes Sedai you do not have to fear me... I am not a Red... The message said nothing more, though enough to get her point across... She sipped some more of her tea as a crack of thunder hit over head, and rain began to pour down... How she had known she herself was unsure, but careful she must be.. |

As he was Finishing his meal the inn keeper came bearing a note. taking care to read it knowing full well who it came from he looked at what she had written Those who try to hard to not been seen are usually caught first.
Watching a Aes Sedai is not very wise, though not uncommon in these days.
While anyone should step lightly while in presence
of an Aes Sedai you do not have to fear me... I am not a Red... slightly unnerved yet amused he laughed out loud drawing attention to him self for the first time. he then walked over to the table where the Aes Sedai sat and said "Hi my name is Amon Toh" smiling he then said "in case you are wondering I am only watching you because I noticed that you noticed me" laughing again he then said "how may I help you ...... Miss ..... of the blue if my guess is right"

Alicia, " I am of Blue, and thank yourself that I am for any other sister would have shielded you ,and then summoned more to deal with you. That is beside the point sit please... I am Alicia Monro, and if my guess is right you are a channeler, and if I have thought it out right then you are heading for the Black Tower. I myself will be going through Andor just as a traveler.. I know that several red sisters are roaming Andor, and it would not do you good to be caught by them, but it would not be good at all for you to hurt someone with powers you cannot control.... Yes, you may think you have things uncontrol, but you dont." Alicia's eyes showed no emotion nor did her face, but something in her eyes said trouble was coming.

“Be glad that you did not decide to take hold of Saidar”
Amon said wile flourishing two different throwing knives, one was heavy with blunt ends and the other was curved with three barbed blades.
“For I have learned at great risk to notice the felling of someone holding Saidar near me and I would of thrown both of these and then more if necessary. While I wouldn’t aim to do lethal damage it would make it hard for you to hold me here and possibly onto conciseness”
Despite the flash in her eyes that could have only been anger he asked if he could take a seat. And as quickly as they appeared the knives where gone. Taking a seat across the table he asked where her warder was. After learning that she had none he said:
“how about this; lets make a deal you promise that you will not attempt to shield me, detain me in some forceful manner, or revel me to others; and I will promise to, 1 not channel if I can help it, 2 protect you from harm from others, and 3 not to harm you” with a grin he stated “I know that you can not lie, your kind are famous for bending the truth but you cant lie and a pact is binding”
"Ji e Toh duente no"
And with that Alicia Sedai took in his eyes and his hight.
(OOC: hope you dont mind me controling a few things in this, also let me know if you cant dispher what i said at the end/ or if i got the old tounge wrong)

Alicia was some what surprised at his reaction ,and the use of words not heard for many years. In a split second her shock was gone, and the cool Aes Sedai gazed rested upon him again... After some comtemplation she spoke again, " Agreed...... Though if you are discovered by my sisters I will not aid you in anyway... So keep true to channeling only if you must for you may be strong yet in the power, but even I could hold you tightly if I truely wanted to... I will be leaving at first light tomorrow, you may join me in the stables..." Alicia rose and strolled towards the stairs, but before she began to climb she turned back and spoke oonly a single word, " da'es daemar ", and with that she went upstairs.

da'es daemar The game of house's!! "What have I gotten myself in to" thought Amon. he wondered if she had any guesses of his origins. He sat in the common room and had one more mug of ale and paid the inn keeper his dues before going to his room. He when though room checking to make sure that he had everything ready so that all he would have to do in the morning to get dressed, wash, and lode his horses. Then he set his sword against the door to give him some manor of warning if any one where to try to enter at night, he knew he was safe from being taken by Alicia Sedai; but Amon was not one to take chances. Feeling that every thing was in place he soon fell asleep. As his room was on the east side of the building he was woken by the dawns first light. He quietly gathered his belongings and made his way to the stable he, had the stable boy bring him his horses and then loaded them himself. After that he went and bought some bread, apples, dried mutton, and cheese to eat. Nibbling on the cheese and an apple he waited for Alicia Sedai to show. |

Alicia stepped out into the morning sun, and made her way towards the stables contemplating the letter she had recieved early in the morning. Sister we will make all the arrangements that you have asked for, though we do not agree completely with your wishes we will follow. The Red Ajah is watching everyone one, and everything moving in Andor.. Be careful... They would not take to kindly to your plans....
Moriana Alicia had known her sisters would understand respect her plan, but she had not counted on the level of Red sisters currently in Andor... 30 reds.... Enough to casue problems all around, and not to mention Whitecloaks... Even more disconcernign was the two red sisters that appeared early this morning in the village.. Alicia was able to avoid contact, but that was mere luck.She would have to be very careful... Her clothes were ones of simple design, and all blue... She stepped into the stable, and apporached Amon. Alicia, " Good morning... I hope I do not have to tell you that two red sisters came through this village early this morning... They are staying in the inn on the outer edgfe of the village.. We will need to step lightly if we are to leaver unoticed." |

Amon thought about what he had just been told and after a second he said: "well in that case we better get going" with a slight chuckle he helped Alicia to saddle her horse and then they slowly rode towards the edge of town oposite the reds. He rode scilently mulling over what Alica had ment by da'es daemar He thoght about weither she supected his ties to lost Malkier or the aiel. all he knew was that the fact that he was fluent in the old toungen, had stuck a nerve. soon they where at the edge of town with out inceadent. after they had ridden about a mile from town he spoke up: "so where are we headed I was thinking about the direction of Caemlyn" |

"so where are we headed I was thinking about the direction of Caemlyn"
Alicia did not answer for a long while for she was deep in thought about the next move to make... Her Ajah had send her out not only to see wha the Red Ajah was truely up to, but also to find away to study the activiy of the Black Tower.. One blue... One!! That was all that could be sent.... Alicia had been second in power, and in mind in the Blue ajah so it was no surprise when she was sent... Alicia looked up and quickly turned to face her traveling company...
Alicia, " I was thinking that Caemlyn would make a good start, though keep up your guard the Red Ajah will certainly be there.... Not to mention others...."

"sounds like a good plan" said Amon as they where riding along "we should take a roundabout way, as to avoid the main roads and any town large enough to hold any agents for the red Ajha, as well as any town so small that any passerby’s will be noticed." Amon passed to give Alicia a chance to respond be after a few minutes he spoke up again "do you have any maps" he said pausing for only a second before continuing on "no matter I can navigate using the sun, moon, and stars." They rode on in comparative silence for the rest of the day. When the sun started to dim they started to find a good place to set up camp. Soon Amon had found a small glade with a small spring and plenty of soft moss and grass for sleeping. he then went around to look for some game as he worked a spiral around the camp he set 3 snares in hope that when they awoke that they would have some fresh meat. He continued to try his luck with both a sling and a few throwing knives. How ever there wasn’t much game to be found so he headed back to the camp. OOC: we need to decide what part of the middle lands they are in, im thinkin someware on the boaders of andor, we just need to decide which part lol thanks. |

Alicia had started the fire using very simple weaves of fire, and soon she was sitting writing in her small book she carried long with her... The book itself was very simple, but inside it held many secrets, and information she had gathered over the years. She had her latest plans all laided out, though it would do her very little good if she was caught or delayed by the Red sisters in anyway.
ooc: sounds good as far as close to the boarder Andor.

When he returned to the camp he found Alicia writing in a small book. He nodded his head to her then prepared himself for bed. After saying good night he got comfortable and soon drifted off to sleep. He was soon dreaming about his child hood after the finding of his sword. He dreamt about how no matter how much stronger someone was them him they all had a hard time just lifting the sword, while to him it was just as easy as any long sword. His dreams where of his sword or other wise harmless matters. All night he slept only wakening at the first light.
