Out of Time ~Solo RP~

Someday you will find me

Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova in the sky

Turnings

Time was ticking by rapidly. She had not paid heed to it, nor to the way it had speedily taken charge on her body and mind. On later days of reflection, Tirzah decided that perhaps this was not so uncommon; the concept of day and night often became irrelevant when you were having fun. And of course, time held an influence on people far greater than the small pleasures of infatuation, or the bitterness that comes with loss.

It was only as her time drew to her close that she recognised the change that had bloomed in each and every person she knew well, or deemed close enough to care about. At first it stunned her, making her seem aloof at the oddest of times. One friend even asked her if she was feeling a tad, 'touched'. Suffice to say, it was around that time that Tirzah decided that to welcome the change, she would have to take some measures.

The first: her time with Forge. Admittedly it had been the influence of an Aes Sedai that had led Forge back to his little sister, but the actual call had been her own- a hurried letter that bubbled of the outrage she was subject to, as well as the rebellion she was more than ready to prolong. Ziya Sedai had been no fool when she'd spotted opportunity, and it was due to her deft thinking that Tirzah spent several weeks at a time in the Forge, learning both through her mistakes and one patient Ogier's guiding words.

He introduced her to his dearest loves, the anvil and the chisel, allowing her to try new things for herself and while doing so, get a little stung in the process so that she would remember things better the next time. The roaring hearth, the ringing of a hammer as it struck the anvil, even the hiss with which steam soared upwards as the metals were left to cool...the mélange fixed itself into her life, forming a layer rife with potential and activity.

As she grew more accustomed to Forge's teachings, her understanding deepened as well. He no longer required to be at her assistance at all times, which made Tirzah realize with more than a little pride that she was slowly climbing up the ladder. Their friendship as well as the bond that had kept them close for several years grew as well, flourishing so that it took the shape of trust. And it was so that Tirzah gained her second confidante.

When he made to leave however, any attempts to cling to the supposed growth she had had as a person, vanished. 

"I won't bloody let you!"

They were in the gardens, but very little of its serene beauty was passing onto her. Her cheeks were rapidly heating up in a bright red flush, while her eyes had widened- a reaction perhaps to the bad news. Things were going too well for her to have them snatched away again, and whoever wished to judge her could- spoilt, demanding, ridiculous- these words bore no effect on her. Surely Forge could not be so cruel as to leave her both without his company and his knowledge? This was exactly the position the Tower would want her in, so weakened that she would succumb to any lesson they wished her to! Well, Ziya Sedai might've come close to winning, but she would show them yet!
