You Asha’man always manage to surprise me with the level of cruelty you casually reach.” She shook her head, forcing her anger down again. I need to stop talking to him. He’s only going to make me angrier. Rue walked over to Insa. “Are you okay?” @InfiniteInsanity Insa sat up. "Just thinking." @Aes Sedai 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Insa looked up at the sky. "Rue, there's a chance that Bookwyrm knows what my past is. But I don't remember it, why would he?" She looked down.

Edema Rue she/her Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Rue bit her lip, following Insa's gaze up to the sky. "Honestly...so what? You can't miss what you don't remember, so why waste time on it? Unless it affects what happens now, you can use the time you have now to become who you want to be. In our world, we are reborn. Some people say that we are reborn so that we can do better. Maybe that's your case; you can become someone else, become anything you want without the weight of the past keeping you down. The wheel weaves as the wheel wills." She tore her gaze away from the sky, shrugging. "I know that sounds insensitive. But if you feel too much, the sorrow will overcome you. If Bookwyrm remembers, then you can think more about it then. But for now...if you wait too long to make a choice, time will make it for you." Color starts to creep onto her cheeks. "Light, I'm no good at this. I don't mean to sound so heartless." @InfiniteInsanity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Insa laughed. "You're kind of right though. I mean all I do remember is my sword cutting me open. What if my past is just more of the same pain and fear? So maybe I shouldn't remember. But at the same time I want to know." She sighed. "I guess it's just a decision I'll have to make when it comes." @Aes Sedai 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edema Rue she/her Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Rue nodded. “Sometimes, there are things I wish I could forget.” She glances at Nameless but quickly looks away. “But I think I’d lose pieces of myself if I did, pieces I need to keep in order to have meaning.” She looks at Insa. “I wish I could help. Truly, I do. There are people on my world who can heal any ailment, even madness. Perhaps one of them would be able to help you, but I can’t.” @InfiniteInsanity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway A tree appears behind Insa and Rue. The tree rustles and then freezes, holding its' breath. "CREEEEEAAAAAAKKKK!" "OWWW!" A young girl tumbles out of the tree, sheepishly looking up at Insa and Rue. @InfiniteInsanity @Aes Sedai 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue she/her Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Rue looks at the new tree, the one the girl fell out of. “That tree? Or any tree?” She walks towards her. If that storming Asha’man hurts her… “Can you stand?” @The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess he/him Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless frowns, gently grabbing the girl's hand and placing it on the trunk of the tree she'd fallen from.

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway The girl cocks her head while the tree creaks and she tries to say something in a foreign tongue. A tree branch reaches down and lightly whacks her. "That term is not what we call ourselves." The tree whacks the girl harder this time and she snaps off a creaking reply that crackles with anger at the tree. "I am called Sylva and this is the tree that I am bonded to." @InfiniteInsanity @UnfortunatelyNamed @Aes Sedai Edited December 27, 2022 by The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway The girl changes a bit, seeming to grow older and she smiles at Nameless. "I was dying and turning into a tree. That is why I turned green. My people have to bond a tree before the end of their first season or they will die. And then they can never leave their tree or they die." @InfiniteInsanity @UnfortunatelyNamed @Aes Sedai Emma wanders over, having seen the tree move and the girl fall from the tree.

Edema Rue she/her Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway “I don’t think it’s quite like that, Insa,” Rue said wryly. “You can’t make a tree your warder.” She turns to Sylva. “I am Rue Sedai, of the Red Ajah. How did you get here? The wyrmhole is long gone.” She tries not to sound accusatory, and fails.

Nameless turns to frown at Rue. "No need to be so aggressive. There's more than one way to travel through dimensions. Besides, the wyrmhole's still right there." He points towards the wyrmhole.

I didn’t mean to sound so rude, or to almost attack you at first. I’ve been jumpy since he got here.” She eyes Nameless. @The Wandering Wizard @UnfortunatelyNamed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway "My people, your word of dryad will work well enough. It is similar to the word in our own language, a word you would find hard to produce." Sylva stares at the one called Nameless, what a strange name that was. How could one be called Nameless and not have a name? But she kept her questions inside as he started glaring at Rue the same time she glared at him. How strange and how synchronized it was. She could even see the beginnings of a scowl on one of their faces, yet they seemed to reflect each other. Something she had only seen in the other gheareants who had truly began to meld with their trees. The most enviable state that a gheareant could attain. Shaking her head she turned her head towards the worrying one, glad to see something other than the smoldering anger between the two strangest strangers. "No my tree takes care of all my needs. I am fine now that I have my tree." She turned to the one who bled darkness into the world, it wasn't just that. It was that she seemed to be carrying a great burden. A burden that seemed to increase in weight when she stared at Sylva. Sylva wasn't going to be one to let that bother her instead turning back to the other three preparing to answer their questions that they would have. Anything to not have to face that hollow gaze, those pain racked eyes, the tortured soul, one who had stared into the depths of the darkness and lost a part of themselves staring back at it. She shivered, her people called such people, yerrgons, those who were already dead. @InfiniteInsanity @Aes Sedai @UnfortunatelyNamed Quote I tried to @ you as Rue Sedai, Aes Sedai Emma stared at the strange girl, who seemed to be growing up at a rapid rate. Far faster than anything natural she had seen before, but not the unnatural speed of growth sped up by magic. Perhaps it was a magically enhanced growth, but Emma wasn't quite sure. That however wasn't what was bothering her. The girl looked like her friend that she had last seen before the scourage. The last time she'd visited her hometown she had seen the grave of Annabell herself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess he/him Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless broke off his glare at Rue to look back At Sylva. "I'm glad you're alright. So, what brings you here? Sightseeing? Or are you looking for this archive thing too?" His voice was kind, but his eyes had a hint of suspicion as he examined the strange girl. @The Wandering Wizard Edited December 27, 2022 by UnfortunatelyNamed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
