Finding a new Rose Bud

Post by Penzei » Wed Jun 22, 2022 3:22 pm

Prya investigating the news of a new wilder girl in the vicinity of Caemlyn and Penzei going through the rose bud drill with her!

Location: Caemlyn City and the White Tower

Main Characters: Prya, Penzei, Tolza, Skyra

Moderator/View Point: Penzei

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The sun rises.

Prya says 'I've heard rumors of a wilder girl hunting in this area. Her name is Skyra. Hoping to run
into her.'

Prya smiles happily.

Skyra has arrived from the north.

Prya says 'Hello Skyra!'

Penzei giggles.
Prya says 'Speak of the devil!'

Caemlyn Central Square
Penzei is in a large stone square, right in the middle of Caemlyn's outer
city. You see a wide boulevard to the north, and the path to the inner
city. There are a number of shops around you. The density of the population
is really quite incredible. It's almost impossible to relax as you are
being constantly bumped and jostled. From here you can really get a good
view of the outer city, and this just makes you appreciate the older inner
city all the more. A large banner hangs nearby, depicting a map of
Caemlyn's outer city.

The Caemlyn cityguard has arrived from the north.

Prya says 'Do you know what I'm referring to?'

Skyra says 'you have heard of me?'

Skyra gives an impish grin. How adorable.

Prya nods in agreement.

Prya nods thoughtfully.

Prya says 'You may not be aware that there are many dangers in channeling saidar without training.'

Prya says 'Do you have a minute to discuss it?'

A city lamplighter extinguishes a streetlamp.
^^

Prya says 'I have a vested interest in making sure girls are not a danger to themselves'

Skyra says 'yes. i have definetly have time. especially if i am in danger.'

Prya nods in agreement.

Skyra shivers uncomfortably.

Prya says 'When did you first notice you could sense saidar?'

Tolza glances up from her book.
Skyra coughs loudly.

The Caemlyn cityguard leaves north. ^^

Tolza says 'Very good Accepted.'

Prya says 'You are in luck, with Tolza Sedai and Accepted Penzei both here as well. We all have
intimate knowledge of just how dangerous it can be'

Skyra says 'well, when i turned 17 i noticed that things were hapening around that i couldnt
explain.'

Penzei smiles happily.

Prya nods in agreement.

Prya says 'Would you be willing to reach out and embrace the source now to show us your ability?'

Skyra says 'it was mainly random things.'

Skyra says 'i can try.'

Prya nods in agreement.

Penzei senses Skyra connecting to the True Source.

Prya smiles warmly at you.

Skyra looks at Prya.

Tolza nods in agreement.

Prya says 'I can sense you have great strength in the One Power, even at such a young age!'

Skyra says 'i can feel it but do not yet know what to do with it.'

A small dog has arrived from the west.

Prya says 'You have not attempted to channel it? But as you said, you may be doing so unwittingly.'

A small dog starts wagging its tail.

Prya says 'It takes a lot of training to know how to use it without dangering yourself and others'

Skyra says 'it happenes so random. sometimes i can hold it but most times it seems to elude me.'

Prya nods at Skyra.

Prya says 'It takes great discipline'

Prya looks down.

Skyra says 'when i try to make things happen it simply causes me to loose concentration and i have
to start over.'

The Caemlyn cityguard has arrived from the north.

Skyra sniffs sadly.

Prya says 'Unfortunately, when I was very young a friend of mine and I were experimenting with our
own abilities...'

The Caemlyn cityguard leaves north. ^^

Prya says 'We did not know what we were doing'

Penzei says 'With the right training... you will learn to control that!'

Penzei smiles happily.

Prya nods at Penzei.

Prya says 'My friend did not survive our childish attempts'

Tolza says 'Lets us go to the tower.'
Prya frowns.

Skyra says 'you think i can be taught control?'

Tolza beckons everyone to follow her.

Skyra comforts Prya.

Middle of a Wide Boulevard
This is the middle of a wide boulevard that runs east and west across Caemlyn.
The boulevard is bisected by a strip of grass and a row of trees which run its
length. The sheer noise of crowded Caemlyn is overwhelming, almost a dull
roar. To the north is a paved road which leads into the Inner City. To the
south is an open square and a cluster of shops.

A Wide Boulevard
Penzei is on a wide boulevard that stretches all the way across Caemlyn. The
extremely wide road is cut in the middle by a strip of grass with trees evenly
placed along the street. You see people scurrying about in a mad rush. A
stairway leads up here onto a skywalk that runs over the entire Inner City.

Skywalk over the Inner City
Penzei is at the southern end of a long marble skywalk that runs over the
Inner City of Caemlyn. A spiraling stairwell leads down into the heart of
the Outer City. You can see a great deal of Caemlyn from this vantage
point, and the view is simply spectacular. The number of people that
populate this huge city is beyond all belief. The walkway continues to the
north.

Tarlomen's Gate
Wide enough for fifteen men abreast, the gates allowing access to the Tower
grounds are iron bound. The gilded Flames of Tar Valon set high up in the
thick timber have been polished to a shine that a Tinker would find
satisfactory. A cool river breeze wafts through the gate, making the trees
and bushes in the grounds to the north rustle and sway. The pale shaft of
the White Tower lies to the north, reaching a hundred spans into the air.

Before the White Tower
The White Tower looms to the north, rising over a hundred spans into the
sky. Trees and bushes, both short and tall, are sprinkled around the path
and throughout the Tower grounds. The path is covered by pieces of small
white gravel and bordered by white bricks. White steps, at least a pace
deep and slightly arched in the middle, lead up to the White Tower.

Bend in the Path
A wide, twisting graveled path runs from the south-western gate towards the
pale shaft of the White Tower, which is at least one hundred spans tall.
Woods of oak and evergreen that could have stood far from any city enclose
the path, creating a verdant green oasis that absorbs all sounds from the
city of Tar Valon which encircles the entire Tower and its grounds.

A Large Round Entry Hall
Two intricately carved doors, wide enough for fifteen men abreast lie to
the south, allowing entry into this large, round entry hall. Archways in
the walls of stonework the color of bleached bone allow for passage deeper
into the White Tower. This hall is used to receive petitioners who seek
council from an Aes Sedai. The marble floor has been inlaid with a mosaic
of a spiral of blue, brown, gray, green, red, white and yellow, which
converges in the center of the large, domed hall.

Branching Off the Ramp
The spiralling ramp levels out for a stretch where corridors from the west
and south meet. The colorful patterns of the floortiles of both the
corridors and the ramp merge seamlessly, speaking of the quality of the
Ogier stonemasons' work. The arched ceiling is at least fifteen feet high
and a masterfully carved frieze of leaves of bonsai, cedar, holly, juniper,
oak, olive and redwood runs along thetop of the impost, just below the
lowest part of the curvature of the arch.

the inner wall, its fragile threads being held together by the One Power.

archway that opens up towards a corridor. The frieze of carved leaves which
embellishes the upper part of the curving wall have been seamlessly merging
with its counterpart in the corridor. Richly decorated ribs branch off of
the frieze to support the vaulted ceiling. Brightly colored tiles form a
wavy pattern enclosing slabs of pale white stone, gradually excluding all
colors but gray further into the corridor.

Entrance to the Brown Wing
Colorful tiles in seven colors come in from the spiralling hallway to the
south gradually petering out until only tiles in various hues ranging from
beige to dark chocolate remain. Decorated with a frieze of intricately
carved redwood leaves and fruits, this is the entry hall of the Brown Ajah
wing. Just off the corridor a stairwell offers a quick way to reach the
Tower's other levels. A portrait of a woman with the staff and stole adorns
the wall, lit by the light of two gilded wall lamps.

Portraits framed in dark wood extend up and down the length of the hall,
each separated from the other by several spans and featured in a prominent
place in the Brown Ajah wing. Every image portrays an Amyrlin Seat who was
raised from the Brown Ajah. White tiles with a brown Flame of Tar Valon

seating in the room is drawn up around the windows, showing that the
occupants appreciate the panorama. The remaining seats are drawn up in
circles of six to eight, allowing Brown Sisters to discuss the furtherance
of knowledge, or new theories in an informal atmosphere. Colorful wall
hangings depicting still lifes decorate the pale white walls.

Door south: door
A large desk made of fine, thick wood stands across the room from here.
Skyra of Altara is standing here.
Tolza the Elder Sister is standing here.
A silver-haired Aes Sedai sits here, reading.
A Brown Sister is here, frowning pensively.
Danelle Sedai, sitter for the Brown Ajah stands here deep in thought.

Penzei says 'WE used the elementals weaves, to travel a great distance from Caemlyn to Tar Valon'

Tolza gestures at the door with her hand.

The door silently swings shut and lock with a soft *click*.

Skyra boggles at the thought.

Penzei says 'Such is what you may learn should you choose to join us here at the White Tower!'

Tolza says 'I would describe it as folding the pattern between two places.'

Skyra says 'you learned to do this at the white tower?'

Penzei says 'There are few with the capability outside of here to do so'

Tolza says 'Yes I did child.'

Skyra says 'i have heard that the women of the tower were capable of great things but i never
thought that i could possibly be trained in that way.'

Penzei says 'You share the gift'

Penzei says 'Therefore your limits are you own'

Penzei says 'If you so choose to, you could one day learn such a power'

eat steak
Penzei eats the steak.
Penzei is full.

Skyra says 'the White Tower is known throughout the world to even think that I could be a part of
that is very humbling.'

Penzei giggles.

Penzei says 'What have you heard of the White Tower ?'

Tolza says 'Keep in mind it is not all choice steaks and folding the pattern to your will.'

Penzei giggles.

Skyra says 'but who doesn't like choice steaks.'

Tolza says 'There is years of training.'

Penzei smiles happily.

Skyra says 'but in truth i have only heard stories as I do not know now anyone who is part of the
tower.'

Skyra says 'i can imaging that the amount of training is meant to be intense as the pwer that goes
along with it seems the same.'

Penzei says 'The Training is difficult... and it will test you to your limits and beyond... '

Skyra says 'so could you tell me how you can teach me not to be a danger to myself?'

Penzei says 'And that is where the real fun begins'

Penzei says 'We can teach you how to control your power so that it doesn't rebound out of control yes'

Skyra says 'what if that isnt enough for me? What if I wanted to be a part of the White Tower is
that route available to me? '

Penzei says 'Absolute that is available to you!'

Penzei says 'Absolutely I mean'

Skyra hops around like a bunny.

Skyra straightens and tries to gain some semblance of control.

Penzei says 'would you like to try and use a medium of control ? I can help you with this if you are
willing'

Skyra says 'oh yes. i have been struggling with this so I would do anything you felt was proper.'

Penzei nods in agreement.

Penzei says 'Okay!'

Penzei says 'Please take a seat'

Skyra sits down.

sit
Penzei sits down.

Penzei says 'Ease your mind, envision a budding rose, or any flower you like. Closed and in the
darkness."'

Skyra settles down with a look of concentration.

Penzei says 'How are we doing ?'

Penzei senses Skyra connecting to the True Source.

Skyra says 'it seems like i can just touch it then it falls all apart and the image in my mind
explodes.'

Penzei says 'Try to relax... just keep focusing on the flower'

Penzei says 'let me know when you've got it'

Skyra nods at Penzei.

Penzei says 'Good, now keep your eyes closed, focus on rose bud, listen to my voice.'

Skyra nods in agreement.

Skyra says 'i can see the rose.'

Penzei voice changes almost lowering slightly into a chant 'Clear your mind, let your emotions, your
thoughts, your feelings fade away, let yourself float, you are the flower, before morning."

Penzei says 'As the sun rises feel its warmth on the flower, see the glow of it coming up as dew drops
seem to evaporate from the petals.'

Penzei says 'You are the flower, your are at peace, you are one.'

Skyra says 'i can almost feel the rose. Can see all the details down to the glistening dew on the
petals.'

Penzei smiles the sweet sensation of Saidar calling to her as she tries to keep her composure."
Slowly allow yourself to drink in the sun letting your petals unfold and the rays of sun pour into
while embrace."

Skyra says 'i can feel the warmth just out of my vision.'

Penzei slightly sighs in relief embracing Saidar allowing herself to pull in only a trickle. "Let
Saidar calmly flow into you like the rays into the rose petal. Let yourself open."

Penzei smiles happily.

Penzei says 'How do you feel ?'

Skyra says 'the feeling is hard to place.'

Skyra says 'it feels powerful, sweet and addictive.'
Penzei says 'Yes ! and with time you will be able to embrace it with confidence!'

Tolza gives you a faint smile as her eyes dart to her book.

Penzei says 'Now ever so gently... let it go into the wind like a leaf///'

Skyra says 'it scares me. but.. at the same time.'

Penzei stands up.

Skyra shivers uncomfortably.

Penzei says 'You are not wrong to have some trepidation of this power'

Skyra says 'what will happen if i take in too much?'

Skyra says 'sometimes it is all i can do to release my hold. it feels like a wave at times that i
cant hold.'

Penzei says 'Well... thats a complicated answer'

Penzei says 'Without training you very well could damage yourself and others with this power'

Penzei says 'But in the safety of the Tower you can both learn to use it safetly AND actually be safe
within these walls so that you may not hurt anyone'

Skyra says 'well iafter what i have seen i am going to work on joining the tower so I can train to
be like you.'

Penzei smiles happily.

Penzei says 'I am happy to hear you are so ready to begin!'

Penzei says 'Tolza Sedai will be able to assist you with that once she is completed her own meditations'

Skyra says 'well i think i still have some experience to gain. but if the White Tower will have me i
do intend to join when able.'

Tolza says 'Do you wish to join today or do you have some affairs to complete first?'

Tolza nods at Skyra.

Tolza says 'That is wise.'

Penzei nods in agreement.

Tolza looks at Skyra.

Penzei says 'Ofcourse! go let your family know, gather your belongings'

Skyra says 'i have much to think and train on now.'

Tolza gets a bright red robe from a soft leather pouch.

Penzei says 'When you are prepared, come back and we shall welcome you with open arms!'

Penzei smiles happily.

Penzei extends her hand to help Skyra up.

Skyra says 'thank you so much for opening my eyse. i can only hope that one day i can make your
efforts worth it.'

Skyra clambers to her feet.

Tolza nods in agreement.

Penzei says 'Oh don't thank me now'

Tolza gestures with her hand.

The door smoothly swings open.

Skyra curtseys before Penzei.

Skyra curtseys before Tolza.

Tolza leaves south. vv
Skyra leaves south. vv
