Vhalerie says 'hello Viva, thank you for taking the time to meet with me!'

Viva bows before Vhalerie.

Vhalerie bows deeply.

Jehannah Central Square
The merchant district of Jehannah sprawls from the central square in all
directions. White plastered buildings with colorful awnings line the
streets, announcing the presence of shops. Carts rattle by noisily, adding
to the general din of the city. Trees planted around the square provide
pleasant shade during the warm summer months. A fountain placed in the
middle of the square provides clear water to all those who need it.
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
Zone: Jehannah
A marble bench, flecked with gold and bronze, adorns the floor.
Some elaborate figurines spew fresh water into a broad basin here.
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
A hopeful young man stands here, gripping his weapon.
A tall dust-colored gelding prances in a circle here.
Lady Viva Mae, consort to the Prophet is standing here.

The sky turns the color liquid gold as the sun sets beyond the Mountains of Mist. Starting tic
timer.

Viva says 'I am always glad to assist the Wisdoms and their apprentices '

Vhalerie smiles happily.

Vhalerie says 'i appreciate that, do you wish to talk here in the
open? or does anywhere inside suit you better, I am fine either way'

A desperate Dragonsworn has arrived from the east.
The night has begun.

Viva says 'I must stay in the open'

Viva whispers to you, 'this young dragonsworn has been set to watch me, the Prophet is a jealous man'

Vhalerie smiles happily.

Vhalerie says 'of course, no worries, we can have a bit of a picnic, i
brought some of my family's famous cheesecake!'

A woman has arrived from the south.
Vhalerie gives a strawberry cheesecake to Viva.

Viva glances at a youthful dragonsworn.

Viva thanks Vhalerie heartily.

Vhalerie says 'ah i see, how do you feel about that?'

Vhalerie shake his hand vigorously.


A woman leaves north. ^^

Viva tastes a little bit of a strawberry cheesecake.

Vhalerie whispers to Viva 'he does not trust you?'

Viva says 'he has been assigned to assist me with any tasks'


Viva nods at a Dragonsworn youth.

Viva whispers to you, 'do jelous men ever trust anyone?'

Viva smiles at Vhalerie.

Viva tastes a little bit of a strawberry cheesecake.

Viva says 'this is very good, thank you'

Vhalerie says 'i see, and you left everything to be with the Prophet did you not? '

Viva says 'yes'

Viva says 'I was having these issues'

Viva says 'I kept having nightmares'

Vhalerie says 'oh?'

A desperate Dragonsworn leaves east. >>

Viva says 'my ability to channel was.. sporatic'

Vhalerie says 'what sort of nightmares? did you talk to any of the Wisdoms? '

Vhalerie says 'sorry, do go on'

Viva says 'The dreams, they were about the Dragon Reborn'

Viva says 'it began to intrude on my everyday life'

Viva says 'all I could think about were the dreams'
A desperate Dragonsworn has arrived from the east.

Viva says 'I sent a letter to the Wisdoms, and I was going to Whitebridge to see if anything could be done to help me'

Viva says 'but before I get there the dreams got worse, and I could not channel at all.'

Vhalerie says 'potentially could it have been stress induced? if i understand it correctly you were going through quite the conflict immediately before this were you not?'

Vhalerie nibbles a little bit of the cake.

Vhalerie nibbles a little bit of the cake.

Viva says 'it was not until I took the road towards Jehannah that I was able to touch the source'

Viva says 'and the dreams got easier the closer I got'

Vhalerie says 'how very strange....'

Viva says 'when I first met Masema...'

Viva nods at Vhalerie.

Viva says 'i was smitten'

Viva says 'his aura'

Vhalerie smiles happily.

Viva says 'his very being'

A desperate Dragonsworn leaves east. >>

Viva blushes.

Viva sighs loudly.

Casting jagged shadows, the sun rises over Garen's Wall.

Viva says 'that is how I came to leave the boarderlands'

Vhalerie says 'do you worry that he may one day go mad and try to kill you?'

Viva says 'the Prophet!?'

The day has begun.

Vhalerie says 'well surely you have heard what can happen to male channelers to touch the source.... are
you taking any... precautions?'

Viva says 'Creator no, he cannot channel'

Vhalerie says 'oh!'

Viva smiles at Vhalerie.

A little girl has arrived from the east.

Vhalerie says 'sorry, you know how the rumors are, surrounding any of the men sworn to the Dragon. people fear what they cannot understand'

Viva says 'some of the men in the Dragonsworn can channel, this is true.'

Viva looks around cautiously.

Vhalerie says 'are you worried even here?'

Vhalerie looks around for the source of anxiety.

Viva says 'but, I have not seen any madness. But I also have not seen much channeling at all that isn't Saidar.'

Vhalerie ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Viva says 'I don't think of myself as a worrier'

Vhalerie says 'well it is one thing to worry about what is not in your control, and another to prepare for likelihoods around you.'

Viva smiles at Vhalerie.

Viva says 'yes, very wise advice'

Vhalerie says 'it is healthy to have a plan for what you will do if you see these signs, so that you are
not struck with indecision in a moment of crisis'

Viva nods in agreement.

Viva says 'The Prophet has a plan, I am sure'

Viva says 'He is a great man, truly'

Viva gives a Dragonsworn youth an order.
A Dragonsworn youth nods in agreement.


Vhalerie says 'whatever those plans are, i dont presume to pressure out of you if you do not wish to share, but I highly recommend reaching out to some of the more experieced Wisdoms or Aes Sedai if you see signs of madness'

Viva says 'I may still have friends in the Tower, but since I left the borderlands I have heard
there is a price on my head now'

comf viva
Vhalerie comforts her.

Viva says 'so advice from an Aes Sedai is probably not in the cards as it were'

An old woman has arrived from the north.

Vhalerie says 'yes, I heard the action against you was quite swift and judgemental, did you expect that kind of reaction when you left the merchants?'

Viva says 'no'

Viva says 'I was a regular visitor to the Tower'

Vhalerie says 'not at all? or not so severe?'

Viva says 'I was told that my decision would have ramifications, I did not think it would have been so swift and severe '

An old woman leaves west. <<

Viva says 'I am not a man, there is no need to warrant me as I cannot go mad'

A desperate Dragonsworn has arrived from the east.

Viva says 'nor have I broken Tower law'

Viva says 'then what I was able to accomplish in Kandor'

An old woman has arrived from the east.

Viva eats a strawberry cheesecake.

Vhalerie says 'yes, prejudice always hurts, no matter who it comes from or whether or not its justified. was that the most painful part of transitioning?'

Viva says 'yes'

A dust-colored gelding flickers its ears.

Viva says 'that and no living in Ghealdan'

Viva says 'now'

Vhalerie says 'was it worse that it should have happened at all? or was it worse that it was coming from the people you called friends and allies?'

Viva says 'adjusting after any move can take some time'
Vhalerie says 'ah, I may be a bit biased coming from Murandy myself, thought it would be a nice change after a borderlander's winter'

Viva says 'the latter... I had come to the citizens of Tar Valon's need at times, repelling the Dark One's minions from the Shining Walls'

Vhalerie frowns sadly.

Viva says 'brining commerce to the Tower Square'

The sky turns the color liquid gold as the sun sets beyond the Mountains of Mist.


Viva says 'There was not one individual that could bring a negative image of me to the Hall of
Sitters if called for'

The night has begun.


Viva says 'and just because of my changing faith'

Vhalerie says 'well unless they listened to the civil watch.'

Viva nods slowly.

A little girl leaves west. <<

An old woman has arrived from the west.

Vhalerie says 'i dont believe those rumors by the way just to clear that up'

Viva says 'I was aware that Shinobi and the Civil Watch had taken issue with the Guild before I
left, but that had nothing to do with my decision making.'

Viva says 'The Guild is... an interesting organization.'

An old woman leaves west. <<

Viva says 'I will always look back on my time there fondly.'


Vhalerie says 'i see, did it make it any easier leaving, having found a couple of darkfriends in your midst and then getting accused of it yourself?'

Viva says 'no.'

Viva says 'it really was no concequence to me'

A little girl has arrived from the west.

Viva says 'the word darkfriend get s spread around freely'

Viva says 'too freely'

Vhalerie nods in agreement.

A little girl leaves east. >>

Viva says 'so much that the accusation without obvious proof really doens't hold water'

Viva says 'I was unaware and never saw any merchant doing anything along those lines'

Viva says 'a few left the ranks... and I do believe a bad apple or two were turned out'

Vhalerie says 'i see, that is certainly one way to look at things. keeps you from getting too involved in other people's opinions'

Viva says 'but I have no personal experiance with any of that, I was too busy plying my own trade at the time'

A desperate Dragonsworn has arrived from the east.

Viva nods in agreement.

Viva says 'The Guild's work is never done, so we all stayed busy.'

Vhalerie says 'I am glad to hear it'

An old woman has arrived from the west.

An old woman leaves south. vv

Vhalerie says 'well I still will worry about you, enemies on every side now and never knowing if men at your side are entirely sane or not. I do not envy you at all'

Viva thanks Vhalerie heartily.

An old woman has arrived from the east.

A desperate Dragonsworn leaves east. >>

Viva says 'thank you for your concern. I have faith in the path the Creator has set me on'

Viva says 'He brought me here for a reason'

Vhalerie says 'do not hesitate to call on me if you think i can be of help, I dont know what I could do if you saw a male channeler going mad, but maybe with more training I can find a way to help heal them or at least protect you from them if they do.'

Viva says 'I do not think that reason has totally been revealed to me, and my relationship with the Prophet is an unexpected.. .bonus'

Casting jagged shadows, the sun rises over Garen's Wall.

Viva giggles.

Vhalerie grins evilly.

Vhalerie says 'yes love will do crazy things to a womans mind. I do hope its worth it'

An old woman has arrived from the south.

The day has begun.


Viva mutters under her breath 'the crazier the better'

Vhalerie grins evilly.

Viva glances at a youthful dragonsworn.

Vhalerie says 'is there anything else you wished to talk about?'

A man has arrived from the east.

Vhalerie says 'or that we started to go over and didnt get a chance to finish?'

Viva says 'I know I may be looked down upon, from my peers and friends I have made over the years in service to the Guild'

Viva says 'But I truly believe I am doing the Creator's work here'

A desperate Dragonsworn has arrived from the east.

Viva says 'The Dragon called to me...'

Viva says 'In a very personal way'

Viva bows deeply.

Vhalerie says 'well it sounds as if you understand all of the factors at play and are staying true to your heart. I dont know anything about dreams and prophicies myself but I'm not one to tell anyone how they should live their life they way they choose to, as long as you are doing so in a healthy manner and not harming others'

The clouds disappear.

Vhalerie says 'if you would do me a favor though and please talk to Masema about what you too will do if you see a man going mad around you. It may be that he has a plan already but if you aren't in on that plan then how can you do your part to stay safe?'

Viva says 'the Prophet requests my attendance, be well Vhalerie'

Viva places a gentle hand on your arm.

Vhalerie says 'of course, be well Viva, I wish you the best.'
