What does the wheel offer? A purpose, a direction? An ultimatum.
It does not want, nor have desires. Those are for humans, people lucky in their ignorance. The wheel heeds no need, it weaves the lives of all to its pattern, and cares not for the cost.
People, even Moiraine, are the ones with needs, and wants and wishes. Which one, that drives her tonight to the inn where Siuan waits? For a moment, just them, hidden from all but the pattern. Shared moments between the threads, to love and want, and plan. For a moment, to feign a careless future.
Will the wheel remember their sacrifice? Weave in their need for each other? Their even greater desire to see a prophecy fulfilled?

The Wheel of Time, Moiraine/Siuan
Date: 2023-07-21 06:26 pm (UTC)A purpose, a direction?
An ultimatum.
It does not want, nor have desires.
Those are for humans,
people lucky in their ignorance.
The wheel heeds no need, it weaves
the lives of all to its pattern,
and cares not for the cost.
People, even Moiraine, are the ones with needs,
and wants and wishes.
Which one, that drives her tonight
to the inn where Siuan waits?
For a moment, just them,
hidden from all but the pattern.
Shared moments between the threads,
to love and want, and plan.
For a moment,
to feign a careless future.
Will the wheel remember their sacrifice?
Weave in their need for each other?
Their even greater desire
to see a prophecy fulfilled?
