The Grey Tower

Layla walked to the Warder Yards. She felt out of place here. It wasn't a place which she came to. She had no need to. None of her lessons were here and she had no interest in ogling the Drin as they trained as so many of the other Novices did. Despite it she was glad to be here. Finally, after bein...

Hello.

Layla raised an eyebrow when described a charming. It was not usually a word used to describe her. Something to do with threatening to stick a sword in people she supposed. If people weren't so bloody annoying most of the time then she wouldn't threaten to poke them full of holes with a sword. She f...

"The whole point of drinking is being bad at it." Layla said. She wasn't surprised at the girl not knowing this. It wasn't the thing nobility tended to know or understand. "The whole idea is that you become a bloody mess, then you don't need to think or worry about thing. You won't be...

Leave once you could! Layla would not be doing that, why would she? For her whole life she had wanted to be an Aes Sedai, preferably a Green, and be able to go where she wish, when she wished, to do what she wished. It was the freedom that Aes Sedai had that had drawn her to them, not just channelli...

After Layla had made her curtsy and the Aes Sedai had done her introductions Layla listened for her instructions. They were simple. Embracing the source was easy and she was aware that the glow must surround her now as it did the other women. She felt the sweet rush of power and life full her and si...

"Explosions look pretty, plus they make nice sounds. If you change the weaves slightly you make can them different colours. Then there are other battle weaves, more subtle ones used as traps although they are less fun to play with." She finished sadly. "My names Layla by the way. Nice...

Layla nodded in agreement. She knew something of the last part. When she had been at home she had been able to use the house library. While she hadn't used it often when she had she had never had any problem finding something to read. Here, even if she knew exactly what topic she was to read she wou...

Layla walked briskly down the corridor towards the door which lead out into the channelling yards. She had been instructed to go to the channelling yards straight after breakfast in order to received a one to one lesson from an Aes Sedai. lessons were rare and she didn't know what this one was about...
