Feb. 22nd, 2006 07:59 pmA night and a day have passed in her world since she returned to it, and sunset is once more painting the sky outside. Moiraine watches from a high window in a securely isolated palace tower as the light fades, one finger tapping the sill in idle thought.
Four days here, in exchange for one month at Milliways. It is something that has not happened to her before; previously, time had moved in synchronous fashion in both locations for the Aes Sedai, although she is well aware that such has not been the case for others.
Another day now has passed; how long has it been at the end of worlds?
"It is worth the risk to discover, I think," she murmurs aloud.
Word becomes deed, and a flicker of silver light flashes against the darkening sky outside the window, just for an instant, as Moiraine vanishes through the portal.
