"That sounds dangerous. Let's go on a walk or something tomorrow with Min then we can continue talking.

 I guess I should get going and talk to the others. Do you know where Perrin is?"

I'll follow his Directions for finding Perrin.

"A walk could be arranged without looking out of place, I agree. And Perrin should be in the camp below somewhere. He was with me when I started the earthquake, and went to check on some people after it was over.

You actually struggle to find Perrin, as it's getting on in the night so it is starting to be difficult to scan the surroundings due to the low light. The fact that the camp is in chaos still, with injured from the earthquake getting treatment and overall high excitement levels doesn't help.

I'll try tomorrow. I'll find an out of the way place for tonight and prepare it to sleep on. I'll go ahead and eat some of the food I bought for dinner. And I'll stay up for 1st watch. Then I will go to sleep.

I am going to try to enter Tel'aran'riod with my usual meditative method.
I'm intending to emerge in this corresponding in the dream world.

Assuming nothing needs my immediate attention, I will pull out the statue I made of Egwene from my soul.
Then I will use Structural Grasp on it to get it's history. That way I can figure out how I made it.

(Basically produce mana and then send it into the object to pick up its history.  Then gather the mana back to read the history it picked up)

I have a theory that that I made a little Awareness for it when I made it. Effectively it's least god. That Awareness maintains it's existence in the Dream World.

Are you planning to sleep in one of the tents? There are also some small cabins that I forgot to mention. It’s a pretty decently built up camp. Or are you finding a secluded area away from the others?

They might have build those cabins for Perrin and the others. Since they are close to Rand. I'll go and check them out.

Hopefully I'll find someone that doesn't mind me borrowing the floor of their cabin.

You knock on one of the doors of one of the cabins, hoping to find free space when the door opens to a tall broad shouldered man with yellow eyes. Perrin says “Eli, when did you arrive? Where did you come from?” And then he blinks “but first come in, your presence caught me by surprise.” And he steps aside to let you in to a cabin he shares with apparently 5 other people. One is asleep but the other beds are empty. There’s a small table in the corner which he goes to and pulls up a seat.

I smile when I see Perrin.
"It's good to see you Perrin. I got here earlier today from a long walk from Falme."

I walk in and sit down in a seat if there is an extra chair. Otherwise I will sit on a bed.

"How are things going Perrin?"

He looks saddened when you mention Falme, but nods.

“Things are... tense. Rand and Moiraine argue every day about what we should be doing, it’s killing Rand inside that there are men who have declared for him who are being hunted down. But he knows that Moiraine is right that we need to wait out the winter, and gather our forces. And Rand can’t stand how people treat him now that he’s raised the banner... it’s been tense.”

"I See. That would cause a few problems. Well. More than a few.. And I can understand how he feels with the others deferring to him. It felt weird when they where treating me like a noble.

How are they treating you Perrin? You seem to have a fairly nice cabin. Who are you sharing it with?

“We are working on transitioning all of the tents to cabins. I happened to be in the same tent as Uno, so we got one of the first cabins. The others in the cabin are Uno, Masema, and Loial. I am sometimes treated differently because of my friendship with Rand, but mostly I’m treated as Shienarans treat anyone else.”

"I suppose that you appreciate it more when the Shienarans treat you how they treat anyone else. You and Rand dislike being treated as nobles, Correct?

So is there an extra tent I could use? I didn't pick up a tent or bedroll when I made my way here."

“I think most people like being treated based on their merits and what they’ve earned. But yes.

And you are welcome to set up there” and be points to one of the beds.

"True True. I didn't say it quite right.

Thank you for the bed. I didn't want to force anyone out of their bed. I was expecting to need to sleep outside.

I was planning on joining first watch then calling it a night. Do you think I should let Moiraine know I am here? Or should I let her rest?"

"You're welcome, we have enough beds at this point that no one should be sleeping outside. As to Moiraine, I'm not even going to try and guess what she would prefer, I see some logic in both, with Aes Sedai it seems whatever path one picks is always wrong."

"I guess one has no choice but to endure such things. I will go and let her know that I am here. Could you tell me which cabin is her's?"

If he tells me, I'll go to her cabin and give a polite knock on her door.
"Hello Moiraine Sedai."

"Of course, she and Lan are on the upper landing, on the far left side if you're them from this direction."

You find it without trouble.

After a brief moment, Moiraine opens the door with Lan standing behind her. Lan has a stern expression on his face and Moiraine says "Ah. Eli. I had heard you'd made your way into camp, I was wondering when we would speak. I would be most interested in hearing about what you've seen in the world, and how one training to be a warder ends up here."

"... That is a bit of a long story. May I come in?"

I assume that she let's me in and closes the door behind me.

"... Before I start I do have a few questions for you Moiraine Sedai. Are you aware of Min Farshaw's power? Where she sees bits of the future in the auras of people?"

I'll Let her answer that then I will continue with my next question.

"I have a feeling you swore to help Rand win the Last Battle for the side of the Light. Did you swear an oath to help him win the Last Battle? I'm sorry for the rudeness of the question. But it is important for what I am going to reveal."

"You may come in, I'll send down for some tea and we can talk." and she gestures over to a passing Shienaran and after a quick exchange of pleasantry and formality asks that he bring a fresh pitcher of tea. She waits at the door for him to return before heading back in to take a seat. Lan stays standing, watching over her left shoulder. She pours herself a cup and offers you one as well. The teacups are rather ornate looking and bear a sigil of a tree and crown.

Moiraine responds, in a quiet and serene manner:
"I'm familiar with Min, and would say that I know her quite well. I also suspect she would be quite cross with anyone implicating that she has Powers. Some would see shadows in one who could tell the future."

When you ask about if Moiraine swore an oath, however, she raises an eyebrow slightly, the only mark of anything outside of absolute serenity in her entire speech and disposition. Lan's face has grown markedly dark at this point however, with more danger behind his eyes than you've previously seen with the exception of when you saw him face down shadowspawn. He stays quite though as Moiraine continues:
"I am no Dragonsworn, I am an Aes Sedai."

"... I guess I just have to continue... I'm sorry about the question. I... Just wanted some reassurance. What I am about to tell you is quite dangerous to me. But I trust you Moiraine Sedai. An Aes Sedai would make sure the Light wins the final battle.

While at the White Tower I had a few viewing from Min. One was that at some point in the future, I will have a choice between the Light and the Dark. and that choise will echo through the ages. Another one was that in some point in the Future my actions will ether save Rand's life and thus save us all or I can let him fall and Doom us all.

Obviously I am going to do all I can to help him..."

How Are she and Lan reacting so far?

Moiraine listens patiently, and Lan relaxes slightly after you apologize for the question. Moiraine says at the end:
"I appreciate you bringing this vision of Min's to my attention Eli, but why would you think there is any danger in it from me?"

As to reactions, they're both bloody hard to read anything from. Lan looks like a stone, the only emotion he's shown throughout this being annoyance about asking if Moiraine was sworn to Rand. Moiraine has held the serene expression of a scholar, who is listening and processing every detail.

"... because that is not all I need to tell you. While at the White Tower, Alanna Sedai and Verin Sedai figured out that I was Visiting Tel'aran'riod when I sleep and I learned to control when I enter. They agreed to keep quiet about it. They told me about the dangers of the Dream World and I have been burned from my mistakes there. I haven't learned much in my expeditions into the Dream World. But I did find out about the Invaders. You probably already know this but they come from a land called Seandar that is across the Aryth Ocean. And they have special Ter'angreal called a'mam that are used to enslave female Channelers. I warned Alanna Sedai and Verin Sedai.

They said that Dreaming is generally assumed to be a channalers Talent. But that the link hadn't been proven...


I take a drink of tea to calm my nerves.

"Which brings me to Min's next viewing.  She saw two futures Fighting for control of my future. In one, I wore a black coat with two pins on the collar. I was surrounded by a golden aura and had a sword in one hand and a fire in the other. The other vision was me rotting and decrepit. I was destined to channel. The First time I channeled, I needed to use it to save someone that will save Rand's live in the future. If I did it too early, I will go mad and be unable to do what I need to do.

At the White Tower, I was at the top of my class. I earned training from Master of Arms Coulin... But I didn't get to say. The Flame and the Void is apparently how men learn to channel. I recognized what was happening and I fled. Because I am sure the Wheel needs me whole wo do what I need to to.

I went south via boat and then west. The boat trip was twice as fast as it should have been. I thought I needed to go to Falme to met up with Rand and You. So I took a job as a guard to a trader's caravan that was heading west. But we came across his friend's house that was on fire. I could hear him inside calling for help... I needed to save him. I reached for the tainted power. And... I opened a hole in reality and steped outside. Traveled to him and opened another hole to pick him up. And take him to safty. At that point I was hit with channelers sickness.  And then Rand appeared in the sky Fighting someone. I assume it was a Forsaken. It took me a while to recover.

Then I came to Falme. I have enough control to do that whenever I want. Then I walked here.

And that is how I got here.

Moiraine Sedai. I think my channeling will be needed for the Last Battle. Are you going to let me help?"

She injects when you talk about dreaming: "Quite the contrary, I believe there is a fair deal of proof that it is not a channelers talent. Some in the tower can be a little too quick to assume just because some sisters can do it that it must because of the one power..."

She seems to be mostly just correcting what she sees as a common fallacy.

Her eyebrows raise when you mention the image of fire in your hand, she frowns when you mention channeling.

"So, allow me to make sure I fully understand. You say that Min saw a vision of you, and that she knew that when you first channeled you would save someone who will in turn save Rand. So who is this man who, we all must hope,  will save Rand?

She seems to be mulling over everything you said, but your direct question.

"He is called Master Flinn. He is a Master Herbalist. I... Might have messed up. I hope to talk with Min in the morning to see if anything changed with the reading."

She nods, thoughtfully, "There are many things that I'd be interested in hearing from Min. I will have more questions after discussing things with Min. I will need to see the two of you first thing in the morning."

With the she finishes her tea and sets it down, with the obvious intention that the conversation is over for now. Assuming you take that as true and head towards the door, she'll speak up as you set your hand on the handle.

"Oh, and Eli. Don't leave camp."

"I Understand. I Think I made the right decision to save him. It... Felt like the thing I should do. I sometimes get gut feelings on what I should do. Maybe it is part of being Ta'verin. Goodnight Moiraine Sedai. Goodnight Lan."

I'll leave and go back to Perrin's cabin and then go to sleep.
I will go through with my previous plan to go into the Dream world and perform structural grasp on Egwene's statue. To see how I made it permanate in the Dream World.
