Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, Lost during the War
|
(OOC: Anyone who wants to play with a rather frustrated but fun-loving, men-loving and determined soon-to-be-Aes Sedai, do join.  )Farina closed her eyes and leaned back on her chair, frustrated at the complexity of the text she was trying to make some sense of. Farina wasn't particularly interested in the social structure and politics of Cairhien, but Arena Sedai had already taught her the basics of the Game of Houses and she refused to tutor Farina further until she had written a detailed report on the subject that showed Farina's understanding of Cairhienin relations. Farina wasn't too interested in the Daes Dae'mar either, but it was a part of her overall training in the customs and politics of different nations. And if she worked hard and at least seemed interested in the subjects, she would be raised sooner. Light, let it be so. Farina was pushing sixty now, but the Mistress of Novices hadn't shown the slightest of implications to raise her. Farina knew the Hundred Weaves by heart, she could weave them in her sleep, and she had managed the Aes Sedai calmness and serenity for decades. She had studied dutifully and had mastered the art of weather manipulation and Healing, both Talents of hers. She was still having a bit of trouble at Keeping, but she was progressing fast. She had learned every weave taught to her, except of course those that required more strength than she had. She knew White Tower and Black Tower history, the basics of the Old Tongue, the laws and customs of the White Tower (at least the ones the Aes Sedai revealed to the Accepted), she knew how to link and she had taken extensive classes in Shadowspawn and different militaries of nations. She had spent hours with various Yellow sisters polishing her Healing skills and learning different herbs and other remedies. But recently she had spent most of her time with the Greens, although they wouldn't start teaching her for real until she had the shawl draped around her shoulders. Nevertheless, she knew exactly how the Warder bond worked and how Greens made formations during battle and other general things. What else did the Aes Sedai want her to do? Farina thought that she was ready to get raised. She couldn't imagine what more she could learn, what weaves she could master without having the authority of the shawl. They said that their true training only began after they were raised to Aes Sedai, and Farina didn't doubt that one bit. All the interesting thing, all the truly useful things were only taught to Aes Sedai. And Farina wanted to get there. She felt like Acceptedhood had nothing more to offer her. But what could she do? Just study harder and show the Aes Sedai and the Mistress of Novices that she truly was ready. They could hardly still hold into account that she had run away from the Tower so many years ago. Hadn't she shown that she was there to learn and she wanted to become Aes Sedai a million times after she had returned? She had left two children to become Aes Sedai, for Light's sake. What more could they want? Farina shook her head. Those thoughts would get her nowhere. She just needed to continue working to show the Aes Sedai that she was ready. What else could they require? So she leaned forward again and continued reading Politics and plots in Cairhien. |
