The Great Hunt - a Wheel of Time RP

The Aes Sedai
Morning of the Hunt

It wasn’t clear what roused Alyna out of her heavenly slumber, but the pain radiating from her legs seemed to be what kept her from falling back asleep. Riding all day was definitely taking its toll on the petite woman. The Aes Sedai groaned softly, pushing the sheet off of her, and swinging her legs around to hang off the bed. She sat up slowly, taking in the room she had settled into last night. Now that it was lit by more than just moonlight it was easier to see why the innkeeper had charged so little. A sigh almost escaped her lips, but it caught in her throat when she noticed Saloul’s sleeping form. She gingerly stood up, peering at him while creeping forward. A cool breeze brushed against Alyna’s bare legs, but she pressed on. Every night they’d been together Saloul had woken up before her, making sure to take care of any chores they needed completed. At first it had made her slightly annoyed, but she had grown accustomed to his chivalrous attitude.

A few creaking floorboards almost gave Alyna away, but Saloul seemed to be asleep when she set herself down on the edge of his bed. She had insisted on a room with two beds, but now she wondered how he felt about that decision. They were Warder and Aes Sedai now, a closer bond than any star struck lovers, yet the still slept in separate beds. Is that what Saloul wanted? If Alyna was being honest with herself she didn’t even know if that’s what she wanted. He hadn’t seem disappointed when she requested two cots, but even with the bond he was occasionally unreadable.

The Aes Sedai looked at his face curiously, not used to seeing him in such a neutral or helpless state. Alyna noticed how tightly her hand was gripping Saloul’s sheet, and she let out a breath as she released her grip. Her eyes once again shifted to his face, following the strong line of his cheek bone to his sun kissed chin. A bit of panic rose up in her chest as she glanced behind her at the light filtering through the shades. She turned back to Saloul, putting her hands on his shoulders, and shaking him gently to wake him up. At the first sign of wakefulness Alyna stood up, and moved to get the dress she would be wearing that day out of the saddlebag leaning against her bed.

“We’ve got to get ready,” Alyna said firmly, before walking to the other side of the room. She slipped off her night gown’s straps and let it fall to the ground. She was still decently clothed in heavy undergarments, and as such didn’t feel embarrassed by Saloul seeing her in such a state. The Aes Sedai slipped the royal purple dress over her head quickly, straightening it out as it settled on her body. She moved back to the other side of the bed, and kneeled down to search through her saddle bag.

Alyna Telle

Name: Alyna Telle
Age:39
Gender: Female
Nationality: Tanchico
Race: Human
Class: Aes Sedai
Appearance: Alyna's most striking feature is her long curly auburn hair, more specifically how it contrasts her pale skin. Her eyes are a pastel blue, with dark eyebrows that make them easy to distinguish at a distance. Alyna stands at 5' 3" (~157cm) with no bust to speak of; her figure's reminiscent of a prepubescent boy, at least according to her. Her face is similar to most Aes Sedai in the way that she seems almost ageless. Alyna normally wears darker colors, mixing darker greens with reddish purples, though she does mix in greens with royal purple. Her normal attire is dresses, and rarely does she stray from this pattern, unless the climate is unforgiving.

Background: Alyna was born into a family too poor to feed her and, for at least a couple years, too pious to abandon her in the streets. Her first memories were not of her parents, however, but instead of the orphanage she lived in for most of her life. The memory was hazy, she knew she had been injured, but that wasn't what shone through after all those years. What lay in that memory was the yellow hoods of the Aes Sedai who healed her. The stories she heard later, from her peers, could never darken the resplendent image their very name awakened inside her.

Alyna had a fairly repetitive childhood, never being fortunate enough (or, as is mostly the case, pretty enough) to be adopted. It wasn't so bad, she'd tell you, even with her oaths taken. The tales whispered about the White Tower reminded her of aspirations that she was sure most little girls at least considered. To be special, to be able to change the world; who couldn't help but dream?

Although she saw the Aes Sedai once or twice more over the years, on the streets when she was begging and the such, it wasn't until Alyna was 17 that she again gained ones attention. The woman, or girl, Alyna never could tell, informed her that she was able to channel. Having no idea of her own potential, Alyna was floored. After the Aes Sedai explained what it would mean, Alyna begged her to take her to the white tower to be trained.

The journey from Tanchico to Tar Valon would always be an amazing milestone in Alyna's life; it was on par with one of her first memories in terms of stark contrast to her earlier monotonous life.

Alyna trained for 20 years, not in any way exceptional in her studies. The only thing that could be considered remotely impressive was the way she was raised to Accepted. She was promoted without seeming to be affected, though that may have been a front. The Test for the Shawl went similarly, and she passed on her first attempt. Besides this she was not an exceptional student, she just seemed to work well under pressure. To the surprise of the few friends she made while at the Tower, Alyna did not choose the Yellow Ajah but instead the Gray Ajah. This was mostly surprising because of how dedicated Alyna was to studying healing weaves.

Alyna had decided on the Grey Ajah as opposed to the Yellow Ajah for good reason. One, she felt she could heal the wounded and preform such altruistic activities without being a part of the Ajah seemingly designated for the task. Two, Alyna noticed how populated the Grey Ajah was, in stark contrast to the Yellow Ajah, and felt any mistakes made would be a lot less noticeable in a larger community of Aes Sedai. The third and final reason for her choice of Ajah had to do with her childhood. A lifetime of being looked down upon summoned spite and contempt for those born into nobility. The darker side of wanting to be great lead her to envy those who had more than enough and couldn't bother to spare a single copper. A large part of her felt that becoming a Grey Ajah would let her rub shoulders with these high borns, and force them to respect a low born such as herself. This is quite toxic, as she still regards those who she normally is assigned to deal with as above her, and seems to show a permanently compromised self esteem. This isn't oft expressed in the presence of these lords, and ladies, but is often apparent when she lets down her guard.

After taking the oaths and choosing her Ajah, Alyna was not assigned a job outside the tower for a month, but once she was she decided to choose a Warder. Saloul was her first choice, not only for how friendly he seemed. Before bonding with Saloul, Alyna spent many a evening watching him and his peers train, before eventually deciding he would be the best option. She traveled with Saloul for a week before deciding to bond with him. After bonding, she was assigned small tasks by the Head Clerk, leading the two to travel together for a month. Saloul and Alyna are currently staying at an inn inside of Illian.

Streets of Denver

Epsilon found a collar on each hostage, and frowned at the implications. She had been hoping it was one bomb that she could move into a position where it wouldn’t harm anyone, but this complicated things. Epsilon stared at the device, hoping for the familiar feeling of her power activating, but it didn’t work. Instead of the telltale click of gaining knowledge, the feeling of a kaleidoscope changing to binoculars, she instead stared at the collars uselessly.

Dean-Er Martyr, told a hostage that it might hurt a bit, and Epsilon glanced over to see him attempting to bash the collar. Her eyes widened in surprise, as she watched, but she didn’t move to stop him. She had no idea if it would work, though she hoped it wouldn’t cause a premature detonation. Epsilon knew, vaguely, that there were two major types of bombs when it came to detonation: A lack of an electrical signal caused a detonation, and the presence of an electrical signal caused a detonation. Unfortunately she knew of no way to identify which the collars were, or even if they were a mix of the two categories. What she did know was that if they didn’t find a solution soon- Nevermind, best not to think about that.

As Dean glanced back at her, Epsilon smiled at him, proud of the small amount of protection she could offer. The smile disappeared as Tulpa’s projection moved past them, her eyes locked on the creature. She glanced back in time to see Eyeblight attacking Messiah and Tulpa.

A wave of nausea traveled across her body, and she doubled over with her hand over her mouth. Right, watching Eyeblight was not a good idea. Epsilon sighed, closing her eyes tight as she focused on not losing the contents of her stomach. Sonar announced to the group that something had changed, and. . . .tick tick tick tick? Epsilon’s eyes flew open as she glanced in the direction Tulpa’s projection had headed. A bomb? She moved towards that direction quickly, or as fast as she could. The damp tunnel made her deeply uncomfortable, chilling her to the bone rather quickly. It didn't help that this area was naturally cooler than the rest of the city.

She came out on the other side along with Tulpa’s projection and the hostages. Epsilon resisted the urge to stare at Tulpa's creation, and began searching the hostages. Where is it? Where is it?” She mumbled, ignoring the protests of the hostages. Most didn’t resist, even if she didn’t have a Legend-esque aura. Her objective based problem solving gave her an aura of purpose despite her unimposing figure. She glanced up at the new Ward's projection momentarily, but shook her head as if to literally shake away the distraction
