Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, Lost during the War
|
(OOC: Sorry it took me a while. Icky school stuff!) The novice was silent for a while. Farina was glad that she had given the woman something to think about again, but she wasn't sure if she had convinced her. Oh well, at least she had tried. The girl was probably just wondering how she would retaliate. Whatever she came up with, Farina was sure that she would have a counter-argument. There was nothing that would convince her that becoming Aes Sedai was something negative. But Adena didn't answer her argument, but asked her why she wanted to become Aes Sedai. It was only fair; Farina had asked Adena why she didn't want to be Aes Sedai, she was well within her rights to ask Farina the opposite. But it still seemed like a ridiculous question. There were thousands of girls out there dreaming of being Aes Sedai. And Farina and Adena were two of the lucky ones who could actually achieve that dream. Wanting to become Aes Sedai was something obvious and natural for Farina, and now she would have to give a reason why she felt so... "I didn't come here to be an Aes Sedai actually, I came to become a Gaidar," she said, hoping that giving some background details would help the novice - and herself - understand her reasoning. She wouldn't tell her everything, oh no, just the basic things that anyone would know. "But once I found out that I could channel, I was excited. I doubted at first, of course," for reasons that she would not share with the novice, though, "but once I learned more, I became sure that I wanted to become Aes Sedai. Power and freedom, which I mentioned before, are a good part of it. Aes Sedai might be bound to the Tower, but they have so many available options that are unreachable to the public. They have power and freedom to decide what they want to do, and to actually do what they want. There is so much one Aes Sedai can accomplish! There is so much I can accomplish as an Aes Sedai." Farina noticed that her voice was getting a bit dreamy. But she had the right to be a bit dreamy, she had been an Accepted for so long and she was so close to wearing the shawl! She couldn't help but dream of the things she would do once she was finally raised. But now was not the time. "I'm not saying that being Aes Sedai has no downfalls whatsoever, but those are mere inconveniences when compared to the possibilities it brings. Compared to the freedom..." Farina shook her head. She was repeating herself. "Of course, saidar is a part of it too. I suppose that you don't have much channeling experience yet, but once your block is broken, you will learn the magnificence of the One Power. I could never dream of giving that up. I hope that's enough for you, because I don't know how to explain it better," she finished, and waited for a response. |
