Gwen walked into the library, she had spent many hours in here as a novice and an accepted. She knew were she was going to go walking up to the second floor she walked to the back to the section that she was looking for. Running her finger along the back bone of the books until she found the ones that she need. She picked up a book about the “Three Fold Lands” Picking it up she walked to a table. Sitting the book down and pulling out the chair Gwen sat down. She knew some stuff on the Three Fold Land but as much as she would like to. Since Fianna had come to the tower.
Flipping throw the pages of the book Gwen started to read.
“Till shade is gone, till water is gone,
Into the shadow with teeth bared,
Screaming defiance with the last breath,
To spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.”
-Aiel Oath
Gwen looked up and thought about it. She really didn't understand what it meant but she wasn't going about asking everyone what it meant. Looking back down at her book she started to read again. She flipped through the pages again until she saw something on the “Maidens of the Spear.” she started to read and not scanning though it. She had remembered that Fianna has said that is where she had come from. She started to read about how the first woman came about. Not really caring although she should but she didn’t Gwen really could not believe that this stuff really does happen.
Gwen had finished with that book. Getting up to get another one she wanted to be ready for whatever kind of things that Fianna would do. She knew that Fianna was really stubborn about a lot of things, and that would get her in trouble and sent to the Mistress of Novices, although they had more painful punishments from the Wise ones.
Fianna was trying to read in the library until she heard someone muttering close by. Screaming defiance with the last breath, To spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.” "Now what does that mean?" Fianna walked around a bookshelf and saw Gwen pacing with a book in her hand. The book was clearly about her people. It was probably filled with rubbish about them eating other people and being ten feet tall. Gwen noticed her standing there and asked
"Can you explain this oath to me?" Fianna nodded and said
"Sightblinder is who you call the dark one." Gwen nodded and said
"Makes the passage make sense." Fianna laughed. Gwen gave her a smile and asked "Can you tell me about your people." Eyes shinning Fianna asked
"Have you changed Ajahs are you a brown now?" Gwen just gave me one of those Aes Sedai looks made to send chills down a girls spine. It didn't work on Fianna she smiled and answered.
"The Far Dareis Mai or in your tounge Maidens of the Spear are the only warrior socioty in my land that allows women to join. They are taught to hunt, raid, defend the people and use the spears. As all sociotys are however, we have a saying when we take the spear You may belong to no man, nor any man belong to you, nor any child. The spear is your lover, your child your life." It does not mean we can't take a lover only that we can not marry one and stay a maiden." She watched Gwen log all this information away and Fianna said "Perhaps I should teach a class on my people."
