The Wheel Turned

Chapter Nineteen: Tea Sickness

(Enjoy this mush filler!)

To all my Red sisters out there,
There is a young Accepted that is due back to the Tower. She has long black hair, ocean blue eyes. A kind face and a smile. She is mid height, known to be wearing her Accepted dress but may be in other clothing. Her hair is usually in braids much like the Red ajahs. She is last seen with sisters, Moiraine, Verin, Adeleas, and Alanna. If found, please write back to the Tower as soon as possible. She is requested back by the Sitters of the Hall. We have come to believe that she is being kept from the Tower for reasons unknown. If found, please let me know the location soon as possible.

Red Highest, Tstuama.

"Moiraine Sedai, when am I allowed to leave the house?" Alessia asked while Moiraine was sitting in a chair in the sitting room. They were in a small house in the center of the city. It had been two weeks since they arrived at Moiraine's home before they took residence in a nearby house. Hearing a sigh from Moiraine.
"I supposed we can check out the archive building." Moiraine spoke. Alessia gasped with a smile. She received a brow raise from the blue ajah.
"Sorry. Just, I haven't really received any lessons recently and got excited." Alessia spoke with a smile as Moiraine then nodded.
"We should probably get you a new white cloak." Moiraine added.
"I'll be alright. I am sure the Tower will have some." Alessia spoke.
"You won't be going back to the Tower for a while." Moiraine replied. Alessia frowned at this. She looked down while wrapping the cloak around her shoulders. Wondering why this was. She hadn't received any lessons from Alanna in a while since they left Andor. She was wearing her Accepted dress today. When they first came, she had worn the other clothes that Moiraine had gotten her back in Andor. Her shoulder was gently grabbed as she turned to follow Moiraine out of the house. She did not know her way around, so she stayed close to Moiraine. There was snow covering the ground as they made their way outside. She started to shiver again as she could see her breath in the air. She stopped to look into the air again while closing her eyes. It was snowing again. Feeling the snow on her face as Moiraine was watching her only a few feet away. Alessia could feel that she was being watched. She looked back down and saw Moiraine smiling at her. She started walking again. Heading towards the large building not far ahead of them.
"The large building has archives. We can do some research inside there." Moiraine spoke.
"What kind?" Alessia asked.
"There is talk about a relic that allows the holder to dreamwalk." Moiraine spoke.
"Why are you telling me about it?" Alessia asked.
"It's one of my tasks. To find out more about it and find it to bring back to the Tower." Moraine spoke as Alessia raised a brow.
"Oh! It's one of your lessons for me?" Alessia asked. Moiraine smiled and nodded her head. "Alright. So, what exactly is this relic called?" Alessia asked as she followed the woman in blue into the large building.
"I believe they are called Dreamweavers. The Tower lost track of the ones it had several years ago." Moiraine spoke as she set down a small book. Alessia sat down and opened the book. It was written in Old Tongue.
"Oh." Alessia spoke. She could actually understand what she was reading!
"What is it?" Moiraine asked.
"I can understand this." Alessia spoke with a smile.
"Your studies paid off." Moiraine spoke with a smile.
"It did, yes. All those late nights staying up." Alessia spoke as she was reading the book. There was nothing about Dreamweavers in this book.
"May I ask, why research this?" Alessia asked as she rolled open a scroll.
"Because remember you told me about that dream in the camp that day?" Moiraine asked as she sat down with a scroll.
"With the Burned man?" Alessia asked. Seeing Moiraine nod her head. "Yes."
"He spoke a Forsaken's name in your dream as well. If I am not mistaken, Forsakens can enter dreams and spy on others. He mentioned a name that I am worried about." Moiraine added.
"Moghedien." Alessia spoke. She remembered.
"Spider in Old Tongue." Moiraine spoke as Alessia was in thought. It couldn't be Lillen right? She was there to protect her from the Burned Man. Or were there other motives? She thought while feeling her shoulder touched. She looked at Moiraine who had this look on her face that she had seen only from Liandrin and Lillen. She raised a brow.
"What is it?" She asked. Feeling her cheek cupped as Moiraine was smiling weakly. Her cheeks were then let go as Moiraine went back to the scroll.
"I believe once you learn how to dreamwalk, you can protect yourself when you sleep." Moiraine spoke.
"I see." She spoke. Then frowned.
"What is it?" Moiraine asked.
"How can I work on it if I am having dreamless sleeps?" Alessia asked as she crossed her arms while giving Moiraine a look.
"You already know, don't you?" Moiraine asked as Alessia nodded her head.
"That tea." Alessia spoke as Moiraine sighed and nodded her head.
"How can I work on it if I cannot dream?" Alessia asked.
"Alright. Tonight, no tea. If anything happens, I will wake you up. Lan and I will take turns watching you." Moiraine spoke as Alessia nodded her head. Feeling her hand taken and squeezed as she was now led out of the small room they were in.
"Wait here. I will be right back." Moiraine spoke as Alessia nodded. Watching the woman in blue take her leave.
