I'm interested in a test read, I would love to help.

When you start telling the story of the Girl who looked up to your little brothers and sisters as a bedtime story.

Granted, but it's an ugly pineapple.

I wish for someone to recognize the quote I just made.

Granted, but now your next wish will have to be for potato's.

I wish for a mini elephant that can fly (like dumbo) and grant's talents like aviar's.

"Ah Syen your back. From what my reports say you did a fabulous job with the illusion it works well to hide our troops, thank you." Tevarah turned around anxious for what he was about to ask. "I want- no I need you Syen to take over my army? Just for a little bit, I must go, I have things to be about, things I cannot speak of." Tevarah sped up wanting to get it over with, hoping not to give her enough time to say no. "Here are the passcodes and security phrases for the army <Redacted> <Redacted>. You may look at it as a test for positioning in the Ghostbloods, do what you wish with the army, but your actions will be examined when I get back. Thank you so much. I wish I could tell you more, sorry and goodbye." With that Tevarah stepped out of the tent and lashed himself away from the city he would be back soon...

Gone for the next three days, see you guys then.

"Ok, it's fine really, I can do it I just have to find time..." Tevarah looked to the maps, all the paperwork stacked up. "Storms I need an assistant. Anyway I will have a servant fetch your me, they can get the stormlight you need, also keep me informed on how the illusion works thank you." Then Tevarah gave the order to begin the march again.

@Sorana 

Tevarah looked up hearing what Syen had to say then he smiled. "Yes, we would love your help and that's a great idea about the illusion, the stormlight you ask for can be acquired with little cumbrance. As for your safety I would assign three of my personal guard to escort you, if that's ok? Their names are Mio, Casner and Zidren. Also if it's to much to ask then dont worry about it, but could you compose a message to the villagers? Tell them there is safety and good food here and that we will help them get to a safe place.

@Sorana

[Whatever time Rashan gave his speach]

Beautiful words he had heard Rashan say. Tevarah turned to Syen. "Thank you for your help, you may leave now if you wish, but I could use your help." Tevarah didnt let her answer before calling for a servant, a young man popped in through the tent flaps. "My lord?" 

Tevarah sucked in a breath. "I want you to get all of the spikes that we have stored humanity in and give every lifeless soldier you can a spike, then brake their commands, if they choose to stay or go let them, but everyone of them will hear Rashans final words then make this oath they will only protect never attack they will be the healers, surgeons and medics.of this war and will save not kill.

[Present time]

Everyone was busy working, the hustle and bustle around the camp was chaos, but an organized chaos. They did a marvelous job these lifeless- no not lifeless Tevarah thought. They were truly alive, and turned out a surprising number had done the work of surgeons before they died, then had helped the others who were not learned to understand. They were all extremely talented moving fast healing burns, splinting broken bones and even some complicated surgeries were done. Currently Tevarah was pouring over the map using his tactic skills to move through the city trying to get to the Canton the safe haven, he could help there, he had food and all of these medics, but he needed to get there fast the storm was coming the one that would save them all.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond.

"I'm too old to be called a girl."
She complained quietly, while facing the horse, so that he couldn't see her lips moving. Essun only laughed and Syen sighed, then turned around, waiting for Tevarah to enter the tent, so that she could follow him.

Tevarah followed the girl to the tent. "If I am correct you are one of the more recent members of the GB's and of the messages I have received you must be the one called Syen." Tevarah moved into the tent further looking at the outstretched map, then turned his head to face Syen. "I dont know how much you've been told or how much you know, but you can tell me, I am Tevarah, Over Lord and Councilman of the Ghostbloods and I need a to know what's happening in the city."

Syen directed her horse a bit closer and forced herself to smile.
"Hello. Do you need an update on whats happening in the city?"

@Jehoiada

"Yes. Where is Solace? how many troops do we have?" Tevarah looked around, at the other troops that were looking at them. "Come girl we must talk somewhere less populated, where is the Strategy tent?"

"We're late storm it!!" Tevarah said riding up to the wall of the city then circling back to his command post ."If only we wouldn't have had that mishap with the cannons." 

"Tevarah." Tessi said calmly. "Dont be so hard on yourself, there's still time to help." 

"Right," Tevarah sighed. "but it would have been better to be here for Solace and the other council members, but now it's time, All of this preparation" he looked to the thousand some odd lifeless soldiers they had been spiked perfectly. He had started with one thousand five hundred lifeless, yet perfection is key to hemalurgy,  set a spike in the wrong place and you mess things up. It was very messy work and yet he had been chosen to be the Overlord of Hemalurgic Constructs and Research, it was his job and he was amazed at what you could do. He turned back to face the wall. "prepare squadron three, seven and one, load the trebuchets first knock down that archers nest, then send the-"

"Comander" sounded a deep masculine voice right into Tevarahs head, it had a slight accent of one well educated. "My men are ready."

Tevarah turned around, looking to the Meeker genaral, "prepare your men for launch, get with squadron seven they are going to send you in there with tbe trebuchet just like we practiced. Did you get the armor I sent to you?

"Yes my lord" the meeker replied.

"Good, you and you men are very valuable, your going to make the path safe for my men to go through, we must gain and hold some of this ground, be safe my friend, now on your way." The meeker nodded then scuttled away. Tevarah studied the map for a few minutes then looked up just in time to see the first boulder hurled at the archers nest crashing into it, the second and third going over the wall and landing in the city. Each of those special boulders will be carrying about fifteen highly intelligent Meekers who have been spiked and trained, ready to kill. "This is it what we have planned for it's not like we imagined, but we prepared nonetheless." He mounted his horse took the remainder of his troops and started for the Ghostbloods Command tent.

Tevarah was kicked back if he was damaged he couldn't feel it. With adrenaline and stormlight coursing through his body he decided not to catch himself, he cancelled his lashings and started to fall toward the lake until he was about ten feet above the water he then lashed a hard lashing at an angle leaving him soring about five feet above the lake.

For viewers and Nohadon.

Spoiler

I just want him to use up all his stormlight. He cant have much after that stunt with the shed even if he got some of my stormlight he couldn't have gotten much.

 

Tevarah ran through the hallway coming up to the group of people kneeling over a body. It was Solace, he was glowing, but nothing seemed to be happening yet. He did not know if he would survive. This cant keep happening. He snapped into action. "You there servant. Send for our Regrowth healers! Go now!!" This was the last time something so damaging would come to the Ghostbloods, we will not have one persons death control and disorient our great Guild, and this one will not either, not while Tevarah had a seat on the council.

Always gotta refresh your memory.

When someone makes a mistake and you immediately start quoting your adaptation of the speach for apprentice trappers.

Wait did you read my plan!!!!! It's ok. Let's wait and see what Nohadon says about it then you can update your attack/defense.

@Nohadon

Cool! Well I hope you enjoy your time here.

Hello, have an upvote and what got you into the cosmere/Brandon's works?

Quote

@5ith Ideal not to void your turn, but as soon as @Nohadon see's my plan some things are going to have to change, with your turn, and some damage you may have taken.

You know your a sanderfan when you want your future daughter to be like exactly like Lift.

"Why cant I do anything" Tessi said to the little creature that sat next to her. "I'm just a power source that Tevarah uses, and not even a very good one, I cant turn into a sword or armor I have no combat training whatsoever and that leaves Tevarah very underpowered. Then he's always worrying that I'll get hurt (he's very overprotective in that way) constantly trying to put me in a box so I can't get injured! Ugg! Why? Why did I have to be the spren that changed? Why did I have to stop being a cognitive shadow? If only I could change back." Tessi stopped. "Wait, wait I can... I can do that?" An idea had just sparked in her brain a brilliant wonderful idea. "I can!" Tessi yelled excitedly. "I just have to go to roshar, I can do it there!"

One day later.

Tessi had tried telling Tevarah that she was leaving, on several occasions, but each time she had tried he had pushed her off, (busy with the Ghostbloods) ever since he became a council member he had become less and less friendly, always making the same excuses "we'll talk later" he says. "I'm busy" he says. Well Tessi wasn't going to wait any longer she had to go do important work, still she had left him a note saying she would be gone for a week or two, but then he'll probably never notice she was gone. So she set off her pack on her back sword at her side (even though she had no idea how to use the thing) she was going, going to ask the night watcher to become a spren again, that's what she wanted.

Three days later from leaving.

"Tefig!" Tessi yelled. "Where are you?" 

"I'm right here mam. I was just scouting ahead, seein' if there be any trouble. I tells ya there be bandits all over these here parts, that there is mam" 

"Storms give me fare warning before you go running off like that again." Tessi said with a glare. "You hear me Tefig! I've had a rough time on this trip and it would be a lot worse if I found out that you had up and left."

"Alright I'll tells ya next time." He said shrugging his shoulders. "Mam we best be off if your still want'n to go where's ya wanna go?"

"Why do you ask that every morning?" "Wow" Tessi thought, "has he always said ma'am so weird, it kinda sounds like he's saying mum." Tessi shook her head. "I swear on the almightys tenth name it sounds like you dont want me to go to the Night watcher."

"Mam I would never be say'n that, I'll go along with what ya think ya need'n to be doing, I just think it's a waist to have such a lovely lady get herself tainted by the Night watcher, that's all it is."

Tessi cocked her head at him. "That's rather sweet of you to say, but I dont just think this is best for me I know that its best for me."

Tefig chuckled. "Whatever ya say mam, whatever ya say."

A few hour of walking later and Tefig looked down at the map he had unfolded, then up at his surroundings. "Alrighty mam, we're close I tells ya real close indeed"

"Are we close enough? Tessi asked, implying. "Are we close enough so I can go look for her."

"Umm yes, but mam if ya dont mind me suggestin'." He pointed to the sun."I would wait until dusk, that's when they says she's most acceptable."

"Alright then." Tessi said. "Pick a safe spot to camp and we'll wait until dusk."

A few hours later.

Tessi was done, she couldn't do it anymore, she was so close and after weeks of traveling she had to go, just had to go look for the Night watcher. She stood up. "Ok Tefig I'm going out on a walk." (Extra emphasis on the walk.) 

"Alright mam, just you thinks about it real hard, there are dangerous creatures out there, and I'm not talkin' 'bout the ones with teeth, I'm talking about the ones that steal your soul."

"Thanks Tefig," Tessi said. "but my mind is made up, I will see you later."

"No mam you won't, I cant see ya afterwards, the Night watcher changes people mam and I cant see that happen to you, seein' as I've grown to like you very much and you remind me of my daughter, I cant see what happened to her happen to you, I'm sorry." Tefig bowed his head and started getting his supplies.

"But Tefig, I thought-" she stopped mid-sentence then turned around quickly not wanting to let Tefig see her cry storms she liked this man to much. "Its ok, you can go, maybe we'll meet again sometime?."

Tefig looked up. "Maybe mam maybe." 

"Ok then, goodbye."  Then she started to walk away. A mix of emotions started running through her, guilt for being desperate enough to go to the Night watcher, shame at not being able to protect herself. She started running, she needed a place to hide to be safe to think. Then mist and darkness fell all around her. Tessi stopped looking around, panicked she started running again, then a voice from the darkness said. "Peace child, I am not going to hurt you." Tessi slowed again breathing hard. "You wanted this didn't you?" The Night watcher asked.

Tessi spoke "yes, maybe?"

"Child" The Night watcher said in a soothing voice. "What do you wish of me?"

I...I want to be a spren again." Tessi replied. 

"Are you sure that's what you want?"

Tessi started to answer yes, but then thought better of it. "No, No that's not what I want." She softly said.

The Night watcher looked to her, (usually that question is just formality.) "Then what is It I can give you?"

Tessi thought, thought about how much she liked being human, about how Tevarah always tried to protect her, about Tefig thinking she was going to become something else, someone else. "I want people to not have to worry about me, that I'll never change, never be able to get hurt, or not know how to defend myself, I want to be free from the feeling of not knowing what to do!"

The Night watcher paused, "yes, I see, I can do that. No one will ever be able to hurt or change you in any way, nor will you be able to change or hurt someone or something, you will always know how to defend yourself, but never be able to deal with the problem not able to fix it. That is your boon and your bane, do you understand?"

Before Tessi could respond the mist pulled together and drove into her, going through her chest and out of her back. She collapsed to the ground and heard a faint "Goodbye child, goodbye." Before slipping into unconscious.

This is Tessi's 

Hello, your gonna love it here!!!

Hello, welcome to the family held together by threads. xD 

"I have some dealers," Tevarah said answering Rashans question. "But we'll worry about that later. First tell me everything you know about the organization that killed your family." Then they walked away from the bar maybe they would come back one day and recall when the journey began...
