Raised to Accepted

Elyn emerged from the silver-arched ter’angreal, breathless. Feeling much like a fish out of water. A voice whispered though  barely audible amidst the buzzing that filled her ears.

As she came to her senses, she was met by the warm smile of Ida Narsil, the Amyrlin Seat and Egvena Sedai, Mistress of Novices. “You have passed the test: Congratulations, my child!”, said the Amyrlin. “You may spend the last of your time as a novice and in the next few days you will be raised to Accepted.”. The Mistress of Novices took to her side, “Congratulations, my child. I’m so proud of you.”.

Elyn offered first a grateful smile to the Mistress of Novices and then to the Amyrlin Seat. “Thank you, Amyrlin.”. Looking then to Egvena Sedai, she lowered her head with gratitude. “Thank you Mistress for your patient tutiledge throughout my time as a novice. I could not have learned all there was to learn as a Novice without your guidance.”. She could see the emotion glisten in Egvena’s eyes, a mixture of emotion and pride.

What followed was the girl being sworn to secrecy. Never to tell a soul what she saw within the ter’angreal. Then she was dismissed to take rest in the Novice chambers. She would make ready her belongings, sitting now on the edge of her bed in the small cupboard sized room. She rest a hand against the stone walls and smiled. She’d miss her time here, but was very much looking forward to donning the white dress of the Accepted.
