Cycle Two: Not the Yellow Brick Road The Amyrlin Seat was having a headache, one of those which even Halima wouldn’t be able to cure. And the source of that, was of course, the Sitters of the Hall. Even at times like these, they wouldn’t stop squabbling. What is wrong with them? They are literally more than 100 years old, and they behave like this. Just when she was about to adjourn the meeting, a Sitter from the Blue Ajah, Lelaine spoke up. “We have some information.. regarding last night’s events from our eyes-and-ears network. Ilyanna is causing some trouble. Many were witnesses to her strange behaviour. We believe she’s dangerous, and needs to be removed immediately” Discussion ensued and the Sitters were split on the subject. With no proper decision made, they all looked towards her. During the war, all decisions had to go through the Amyrlin Seat, so she had a hard decision to make. “No. We only have hearsay at this point. I’d like to give a chance to the young girl. If we even find a speck of the Dark One on her, consequences will be…” she left the words hanging. *** Reading and Connie were just returning after warning off Ilyanna. “Nasty business that. Do you think she’s a Black Ajah?” asked Reading. “Shhh, not so loud! And no, I don’t think they were Black Ajah. If they were they’d have been Stilled or executed, or both!” Reading shivered. “Do.. you maybe want to spar? You know, to keep ourselves sharp?” “That’s probably a good idea.” They made their way to the sparring arena and withdrew their weapons. After the initial exchange, they started trading blows severely, each trying to one up the other. Side-stepping, lunging, thrusting and slashing. Reading managed to land a nasty gash on Connie’s elbow, which opened them up to an attack from her. Without realising the intensity of the duel and the momentum of her attack, she lunged, piercing through Reading’s chest. Only then did she realise what she had done. She ran, in an attempt to get help from the Yellow Ajah, but deep inside, she knew. She had killed Reading. Note: The write-ups are not meant to be taken literally. They exist only for flavor. Lotus was attempted to be eliminated, but survived. Condensation was attacked, but survived. Shard of Reading was killed. They were Rebel Aes Sedai of the order Yellow Ajah.
