AMoL Ch. 12: Into the Tower
by Paetram

Mat: This is it guys. A bloody Aes Sedai needs rescuing, and we're the poor fools who are supposed to do it. Thom, if you would do the knife thing, we can begin getting ourselves killed.
Thom: [carves an imaginary door in the featureless Tower]
Mat: That was neat. Now, let's go. [enters the Tower of Ghenjei] This isn't what I was expecting. [looks around at various doorways with signs over them] Thom, Noal, what do those bloody signs say.
Thom: They have the look of places about them.
Noal: Where under the Light is "Middle Earth", or "Malazon". I've been to many places, but never have I heard of a "Westeros".
Mat: What about that sign over there?
Noal: It reads "Moiraine here. No danger."
Mat: That saves us a lot of trouble. Let's go...
Thom: Uh, Mat, this doesn't seem safe for some reason...
Mat: I guess you're right. Well, Middle Earth sounds warm and fuzzy--let's try that one. [walks through the doorway and finds himself in a village full of busy small rustic people]
Thom: [speaks to one of the little folk] Have you seen a small woman, about this high, pass through here recently?
Hobbit: [gives Thom a strange look]
