The Grey Tower

Shoar blinked his eyes three times when she mentioned her name. It was the longest name he had ever heard in his life. He had heard tales of Murandy, but never actually met anyone from there. The only foreigners he had really seen were in the city when he visited - Hama Valon had been a big eye ...

"My apologies, Conor Palfrey Gaidin, but I do not have any of the weapons with me. I was told to fetch them when I had decided and was training with you for the first time." The other man nodded and led the way to the Armory, Shoar following a step behind. The morning exercise had worked and he felt ...

Shoar's head snapped in the direction of the voice. "I hadn't even heard anyone approach..." his eyes widened as he saw the Fancloak and realised this must be his new mentor. Introducing himself as Conor Palfrey Gaidin, Shoar took in the site of his new mentor. Even taller then himself, an ...

Shoar nodded at his Mentor's words and turned to attend to the horse he had chosen. As he began work on the saddle, another man appeared. He introduced himself as Samuel. Shoar gave him a curt nod as he moved to his own horse, before turning his attention back to his own. He had picked a white mare ...

Shoar's eyes opened with a start and he lunged forward, panting. Cold sweat stuck to his body as he looked wildly around him. "A nightmare... Just a nightmare..." With a groan he fell backwards, putting one hand over his eyes and massaging his temple. He lay there for a second, letting the ...

"6... 7... 8..." Shoar counted as he completed his morning training regime. Push-ups then a short run to finish off were all he had left. "11... 12... 13" He was due to leave shortly. Thought it was just before dawn, Shoar had been up for a while. Life on the farm had always had him awake and ...

Shoar listened as Ubriel spoke and nodded his head. "I think I recognised maybe a handful of forms back there, Ubriel Bryne Gaidar. I don't think even my Da would be able to fight like them." They continued walking to another building, this one Ubriel called the Armoury. “This is the armory. If and ...

As they exited the office, Shoar nodded and made a mental note to go and see these Fanciers. "Da should be making a trip to Fal Dara in the next few weeks... Hopefully he checks for messages while there." He shook the thoughts from his head. For now, he needed to focus on where they were going and ...

Shoar let out a gentle sigh of relief at the news that he would have his needs provided for. He had been planning to seek work if payment was needed for the training, but it was good to know he would be able to focus on his training completely. He listened intently as Ubriel spoke, mentioning all of ...

Shoar stepped gingerly into the room, looking around as the woman introduced herself. "Ubriel Bryne..." he though to himself as he settled into the chair in front of her desk. He took his pack off and set it down on the ground with a heavy thud and waited for Ubriel to take her seat in front of him ...
