! __Moghedien__ POV

[Moghedien] is asleep having a recurring dream - She is back in the tent. [Halima|AranGar] enters, calls her by name, names herself [Aran'gar|AranGar] and tells her she is summoned to the [Pit of Doom|Shayol Ghul]. [Aran'gar|AranGar] removes the %%ot [a'dam|aDam]%% necklace. [Moghedien] opens a gateway intending to [Skim|Weaves], but she arrives immediately at [Shayol Ghul]. [Shaidar Haran] meets her and leads her to the [Pit of Doom|Shayol Ghul]. The [Dark One|ShaiTan] chastises her for teaching his enemies and she is fitted with a [mindtrap|Mindtrap], %%ot [cour'souvra|Mindtrap]%% in the [Old Tongue]. This can only be done at [Shayol Ghul] and only to those who can [channel|True Source]. She screams for mercy which she knows is useless, but she would do the same if caged with a [darath|Age of Legends Creatures] in molt.

[Shaidar Haran] wakens her. She is in a cell with no door where she has been for several days. She calls [Shaidar Haran] %%ot [Mia'cova|Old Tongue]%% ("One Who Owns Me," "My Owner" in the [Old Tongue]) and responds instantly to his commands. [Shaidar Haran] holds her [mindtrap]. He laughs, unlike [Myrddraal|Fade]. He tells her to close her eyes and apparently throws her through a wall. She strikes nothing, however, and in a few moments a deep voice tells her to open her eyes. She is in a sitting room with a young man who calls himself [Moridin]. He is a tall, broad shouldered young man with bright blue eyes and a too strong chin. He is almost pretty enough for [Graendal]. He is the same size as [Rand|Rand alThor] and has %%ot [saa]%% which indicate use of the [True Power]. Only twenty-nine others have been given this privilege. He tells her she has been in a [vacuole], but only for two days of real time and she feels as if there are bands of %%ot [cuande|Age of Legends Items]%% about her chest. Time flows differently in [vacuoles]. She could have been in there for centuries. Even [Mesaana] does not understand [vacuoles] completely. They can be very dangerous. They can break away from the [Pattern|Wheel of Time] and be lost forever. He tells her she would be dead, but she has done some good by accident so she is still [Chosen|Forsaken].[1] [Moridin] now has her [mindtrap|Mindtrap] and another as well.[2]
