End Report.

In The White Tower:

"Mother, Lord R Powell will be entering the Great Hall in a few minutes." A young accepted hurriedly told the Amrylin Seat. "Yes yes, thank You my Daughter." Sarah Sedai walked up to the throne and sat down, below her elevated throne sat the Hall Of Sitters. "Behold His Lordship, Lord R Powell of the Exetonian Empire." The Deathwatch guard announced as the doors opened, and in came this tall confident looking man escorted by his guards. "I am The Amrylin Seat, The Flame Of Haven, The Guardian Of The Great Seal, Blessed By The Light, who comes before the Great Hall and before the Amrylin Seat and the Hall Of Sitters?"

Sarah Sedai laughed inside her head, there were certainely alot of protocols to follow concerning state visits to Haven and the White Tower, she didn't like doing it but duty demanded that she did. "Lord R Powell of Exetonia comes before the Amrylin Seat and the Hall Of Sitters." A Deathwatch Guard announced out loudly after she asked her question. "Then let him come and be welcomed to the White Tower, the center of Haven. The Tower Against the Night." The ceremony was done, the Amrylin Seat got up from her throne and walked down to Powell. "It is a pleasure to see an old ally again. Please we have set aside accomodations for you inside the Tower, I am sure you will find it acceptable, this way please." The Amrylin Seat jesturded towards one of the Hall-ways.

"Aye madam, it is a pleasure to once again return to the lands of Endenia to re-establish diplomatic ties between our lands." Powell followed down the hall to his room.

"So this is where i will be spending the rest of my stay here. I am most pleased to be returning its an amazing land you have here and the trip over by plane was most interesting and i am looking forward to the intinerary."


Powell walked into the room which was mag nificent. There was a large bed in the corner, a desk for his laptop at tye back and a large widescreen tv with a marvelous lounger in front of it.

"I'll think i'll be right at home here"

"Excellent, I am pleased that you approve of the accomodations. Now please forgive me, I have much to attend to, while you are here, Novice Kiadra will be your servant for the entire visit and my Keeper of the Chronicles will brief you on your intinerary. Good day." With that the Amrylin Seat walked off, escorted by 2 other Aes Sedai, then the Keeper of the Chronicles walked in. "Your Lordship, i am here to brief you on your intinerary for the visit. We will be spending the first two days touring all of Haven, the on the third day we will visit The Black Tower in Salidar and the fourth day we will be visiting the Nuclear Borderlands and finally on the final day, an aerial tour of the Containminated Lands. I trust this is acceptable to you? Good. In about 2 hours time, there will be a state Dinner hosted in your honour, please ask Novice Kiadra if you require directions to the Dining Hall."

Thank you i await this dinner with anticipation. Thank you for your kindness. Now if you dont mid i have pressing matters pertaining to certain exetonian miltaristic buildups to attend to on my computer. Could you please come and collect me when its time for dinner.

Powell was then left alone to his own devices. He plugged the laptop up and began to broadcast via his mobile telephone to Exetonia to check what was going on. He was most pleased with what he saw. Several countries were opening up their borders to allow him a launch pad for his attack on the united kingdom. He messaged his high commanders to give the go ahead with the plan to invade the untied kingdom on two fronts. This would enable him to have some say in the world of earth 3.

Soon it would be time for dinner.

"Make sure you collect all the data concerning Exetonia, I need to know whether the rogue Aes Sedai are there or not." The Amrylin Seat waved her hand irritatedly, "Yes Mother." With that one of the Oni Gang Spies disappeared. She sat at her desk and signed, there was so much work to be done. The Hall Of Sitters was opposing her more and more often now, there were talks of her being an ineffective leader and all. "Arrggh...." She crumpled up one of the documents and burned it with the One Power. "Mother...its time for dinner." She looked up and nodded her head. "Sigh...yes yes.." She got up and put on the Stole Of The Amrylin Seat, 'now i must project out a look of confidence, the towe must not be broken!' She confidently walk towards the Dining Hall.

"Lord Powell, it is time." Novice Kiadra knocked the door and peered in, "The state dinner is starting soon."

Powell closed down the laptop and locked it out. He walked towards the door dressed in smart casual. He had a smile on his face as he walked towards the door. "Shall we procede" he questioned.


They walked towards the dining hall. Powell remaining very quiet and just pacing down the hall behind his guide. he had worries about this invasion. One was going to be a pushover the other very difficult. It would take a long battle but Powell would sucede in owning the united kingdom for Exetonia.

They arrived at the great hall...

"Welcome honoured guests to the State Dinner in honor of Exetonia. Indeed this is an historic moment for both nations, a re-affirmination of the great alliance my previous leaders made. Now please...enjoy your dinner!" The Amrylin Seat sat down next to Lord Powell and begun eating and talking with the leader. "So tell me Lord Powell, have you heard of the internal crisis in Euroslavia? Its horrible, the government has lost total control over the entire nation. Naturally we tried to take a neutral position on it but now it seems that we are aiding one of the factions in taking over the nation. This faction could use your help Lord Powell, they share the same thinking as both of us. In these troubled times, we need more allies!" The Amrylin Seat washed down her Lamb Shanks with a glass of wine before continuing on, "Another note, there are things that are moving even beyond the control of the White Tower, I fear the worst for our future."

"I was not aware of these events in Euroslavia but as of this moment im afraid im going to have to take a neutral stance in the matter as i am myself preparing for war in earth III which will take up all of my resources and time."

Powell took a bite out of his meal and smiled, it was nice. he also washed it down with some wine.

"So what would be going beyond your control. Nothing to major i hope. Anything i can help you out with dear madam?"

Powell again took another bite out of his meal this time more mindful of the future of New Endenia. The future did not look so good for them after all. Powell couldnt help but woinder what was going on and why this toopic had been brought up.

OOC: Oh Haven is the name of my Capital. Sorry for any mix-ups.

No, it's more my fault than yours. Thanks for clearing that up. Keep up your cool RP ;)

"I understand your choice not to involve yourselves with the Euroslavia incident, we wish you the best of luck in your war. The....situation that is beyond the Tower control is one of a internal problem. Intelligence reports the Black Ajah is moving again, they are the exiles of the Tower, we believe that now they are planning to seize the White Tower for their own. Intelligence points to a possible coup planned by one of the Ajahs and is being backed by the Black Ajah. Sigh...I cannot contain it because we don't know where they are and who is helping them." She drank more wine. "Any assistance would be appreciated but i believe that you would want to focus all your resources to the war."

"Yes how ever should any of these Ajah be found in my country it would be my pleasure to deport them to New Endenia and have them put under your authority. I sure as hell hope there arent any in my country but you can never be to careful."

He finished his meal and his glass of wine.

"How may we be of service to you in the future when my war is over??"

"Thank you Lord Powell, I am grateful for any assistance your nation can render to us. Indeed the Black Ajah are a major threat to our nation's stability and will try to destabilize other nations friendly to us as well."

She got up and the servants immediately walked forward to clear up everything. "Thank you for a wonderful evening Lord Powell, until tommorrow."

"Yes, until tomorrow." Powell stood up and bowed to the lady before rising again and taking his leave back to his room where he was most pleased to see one side of the war had been avoided. He would be purchasing Scotland for 550 Billion and handing over 100 billion usd in barabonds as compensation for alarming the nation of Risban.

He closed down the laptop and drifted off to sleep in the nice double bed in his room. It was the most comfortable bed he had ever had the privilidge of sleeping on. He awaited his wake up call in the morning.

Liandrin was walking around the Hallways of the White Tower, her red shawl wrapped around her, silently proclaiming her alledged alliegence to the Red Ajah. She saw the Novice Kiadra walk out of Lord Powell's room. "Novice! What is Lord Powell doing?" The young Novice jumped up as she heard her voice. "Nothing Liandrin Sedai, he is sleeping now." Liandrin arched her eyebrows. "Very well, go now! Or else I will make you do penance!" Under that threat, Novice Kiandra scurried off and disappeared into the dark hallways. Liandrin knew this was her time to move, 'Assassinate Lord Powell, make sure that he doesn't leave the White Tower alive. This will cause war between Haven and Exetonia, a war that would serve the Black Ajah.' She remembered her orders well. She silently entered the guest-room and looked inside, she embraced the One Power and peered through the darkness and could see the leader of the nation sleeping, she smirked as she moved silently to Powell's bedside and took out her blade and raised it above him.

And while that was happening, Novice Kiadra realised that she had dropped her purse on the floor of Lord Powell's room and scurried back to get it.

Lord Powell lay there in bed not quite asleep, not quite awake. He saw the blade but asumed he was dreaming. At that moment Novice Kiadra ran back into the room and yelled at the top of her voice "Lord Powell, shes trying to kill you"

Powell rolled as the blade came crashing through the bed and jumped up half naked with only his pyjama bottoms to keep his dignity. The Assasin made another rush at him and Powell dodged. Powell then kicked at his assasin to the floor before moving for the balde. All the while Kiadra was watching stunned...

Liandrin flew back as Powell kicked her in the stomach, "Arggh..." She quickly got up and swung her hand at Kiandra, channeling the One Power and blasting the young Novice back with a thread of Air. She smiled as she raised her hand at Powell, "Well even if iI don't use the blade, you will still die." Novice Kiandra flew back in pain and out of the room, she screamed "Help!" Another Aes Sedai was walking by when she heard the scream, Evelyn Sedai Of The Blue Ajah ran towards Kiandra, "Nevermind me, she going to kill him!" She pointed at Liandrin. "What?" Evelyn quickly ran into the room and threw threads of Fire at her, Liandrin dodged the bursts of flames as it flew past her and blew apart the vase behind her and weaved threads of air and fire and flung it at Evelyn, by then Kiandra had gotten up and pressed the White Tower alarm. The sound echoed through the halls and bought sounds of the Deathwatch guards and Aes Sedai to Powell's Room. Evelyn created threads of Air to bind Liandrin and she succeed, Liandrin dropped her blade and tried to channel but Verin Sedai created a Spirit Shield and binded her from the One Power.

"Are You alright Lord Powell?" Verin asked as she channelled the shield around Liandrin.

"yes, im fine, just a little shaken. If it wasnt for this novice here id be dead. Its her thats due all the thanks."

Powell stood up and spat at his opponent. "Scum" He yelled at her. He would have hit her but thought it wrong to hit a bound opponent

"Im quite alright. Nothing like an assasination attaempt to rouse ones senses. Thank you for your swift intervention. I would othereise be dead if it wasnt for the swift qork of your guards."

Powell yawned. "Well that bed is totaled. Guess its time for another one now.

He laughed. Its not the first attempt on my life nor will it be the last

Liandrin struggled against the weaves of air. "Arrggh...you think you have won this time but you are wrong! The Black Ajah is everywhere....even in your own government Powell. Yes!! We are everywhere!! You all cannot stop us!!!" By then the Amrylin Seat had come down, escorted by the Deathwatch guard. "What is this? A Black Ajah in our midst? Inside the White Tower?? Impossible!" Liandrin spat at Sarah Sedai's feet, "Don't fool yourself, we are everywhere!!" Evelyn Sedai channeled her out of the room, "Find proper rooms for our guest and I want two Asha'man to guard his room, make sure no Aes Sedai except me or the Keeper enter." The guards bowed, "Yes Mother."

"Lock her in the Cell and ensure that she is shielded, we will question her later." With that the Amrylin Seat walked off and in the darkness of the hallways, no one saw a dark feminine figure smiled, the unmistakable figure of an Aes Sedai, the figure walked off and faded away, "Oh? I thought i saw Verin Sedai there..." Novice Susan remarked to her friend. "Yeah....where did she go?"

Powell thought it prudent now he was being guarded to get some sleep. Though he was having a littlke trouble. Black Ajah, in his government. How could this be. Why in his government. What plans did they have for Exetonia, why did they wany him assasinated. He would get to the bottom of this plot soon enough he deduced in his own mind. and when he did there would be hell to pay for what had happened..

TAG from an ally. (At least I hope I still am)

OOC: Your still allies with both of us TIN.

IC:

The Amrylin Seat walked down to the prison cells inside the White Tower in silent fury. 'Impossible!! How can there be Black Ajah members inside the Tower? " She reached the prison sector of the White Tower and looked. There she was, locked away in a miserable cell which 2 Sisters shielding her from the One Power, Liandrin looked up in disgust at the Amrylin Seat. "Look at her, the fake leader of the Tower." She said in mock awe. "Silence!" Verin Sedai said sharply. Sarah Sedai looked at the black sister and asked, "Who else is in the Tower?? Who?" She demanded, "Aahaha, its a rule in the Black Ajah, no other sister may know another sister's identity, I only know my own. Mother." She added that in with comtempt. "Really? Very well, you will be stilled and exercuted tommorrow, there will be no trial for your kind."

The Amrylin Seat walked off, flanked by the Deathwatch Guard. 'Insane....how many are there??? Did what she say about them being inside the Exetonian government is true as well?' She walked into her room and slammed the door.

The Next Morning:

"By the decree of the Amrylin Seat, the Guardian Of The Seal, The Flame Of Haven. All Hallways and rooms will now be guarded by the Asha'man of the Black Tower, no Aes Sedai are allowed to be in a room that is not watched by at least one Asha'man or DeathWatch Guard. Also a permanent guard of 4 Asha'man will follow the Exetonian leader everywhere." Verin Sedai announced to the Hall.

Novice Kiadra walked up to the Asha'man guarding Lord Powell's room and showed her pass "Sealed to the Flame" and walked in. "Lord Powell sir, it is time for the tour around Haven." She said as she curtised.

"Ah, good morning. Ive been looking forward to this for a long while now. Allow me a few moemnts to get dressed and I shall be with you"

He looked suprisigly cheerful despite what had happened during the nite

"Shall we go?" He asked with a smile as he walked through the door. Today will be most excellent. We have a lot to see no doubt.

Powell followed Novice Kiadra down the long corridors/ He always looked all around him to make sure he was safe. He couldnt be too careful after all, an attempt had been made on his life the night before...

"Ah...Right...." Novice Kiadra walked out and waited for the Leader. After a while Lord Powell came out, "This way please." She gestured towards Hallway infront of them. As they walked they were followed by 4 Asha'man escorting them, the special military hand of the White Tower, these men can wield the One Power just as well as the Aes Sedai. "Ah! Lord Powell, a pleasure to see you, there will be a parade in your honor in Haven then we will take a helicopter tour around the city and then wrap it up in the border town of Ebou Dar." Verin Sedai gestured to the awaiting limo. "This way sir."
