[Elyas] tells [Perrin] that it's useful to know the difference between vision and reality. [Perrin] assumes that [Elyas] is doing this to him, but [Elyas] denies it.

Back in the courtyard, [Masema] tells everyone that there's something that they need to see. It turns out it's a dead [Fade] that has been nailed, while alive, to a door. They speculate that it might have been done by [Padan Fain].

[Nynaeve] sees that they're using Crimsonthorn root and thinks that they're just comforting the girl until she dies. But, they correct her and tell her that this is easily healed here. The [Accepted] asks if [Nynaeve] would hold the girl's hand while she's being [Healed]. [Liandrin] keeps the jar of Crimsonthorn root. The girl is [Healed] in moments, which stuns [Nynaeve].

[Liandrin] and [Nynaeve] leave to a courtyard. [Liandrin] explains a bit more about the different [Ajahs] and how she could explore the library with the [Brown Ajah], learn statecraft and diplomacy from the [Gray Ajah] and [Healing] from the [Yellow Ajah]. Then [Liandrin] gives her pitch about the [Red Ajah] being an even higher level of [Healing] a different disease. [Nynaeve] rejects the idea that men who can [channel|One Power] are a disease. [Liandrin] notes that using the [One Power] slows the aging process so that [Aes Sedai] can live for hundreds of years, thus being able to bring about more change. [Liandrin] asks [Nynaeve] if she's heard of the [Three Arches], to which [Nynaeve] confirms she does, and [Liandrin] pushes [Nynaeve] to take the [Accepted] test when ask so that she can start training [Nynaeve].

The new novice asks to see [Egwene]'s room for design ideas for such a tiny place. She goes into [Egwene]'s room and assumes that she just moved in as well, but soon after realizes her mistake. The novice tries to recover by noting the stitching on the blanket and correctly identifies it as from the [Two Rivers]. The novice smiles because she didn't think the [Tower|White Tower] would let her live with the rest of the novices. When [Egwene] asks why, the novice says "the whole Daughter-Heir thing." When [Egwene] shows no recognition of that, the novice introduces herself as [Elayne Trakand], Daughter-Heir of [Andor] and hesitantly says that [Egwene] is her subject. [Egwene] just gives an amused smile in return and tells [Elayne] her own name.

Everyone expresses their opinion. [Alanna] tells [Sheriam] that the reason all these women ([Nynaeve], [Egwene], [Elayne] and others) and men ([Logain], [Mazrim Taim], and others) and are being born, and with so much power, is that the [Last Battle|The Creator and the Dark One] is near. [Sheriam] seems uncomfortable with this notion. She says that [Liandrin] has called for a vote on this and that [Alanna] will have only one vote there, not three. She gets up to leave and then notices the saddlebags ready for a journey. [Sheriam] then wonders aloud if [Alanna] will even be there for the vote.

! Scene 14 - Where Is She Going?

[Nynaeve] arrives at [Liandrin]'s door only to find a novice with a basket full of linen closing the door.

She further assumes one of them is the [Dragon Reborn]. [Moiraine] surreptitiously puts her hand on her dagger and asks [Verin] who else knows. [Moiraine] starts approaching [Verin] and asking if [Adeleas] or [Tomas] knows but [Verin] tells her to stop. [Verin] looks down at [Moiraine]'s hand on her dagger and tells her that she wanted to know how far she would go for the [Dragon] to lead him to victory. [Verin] believes that the [Red|Red Ajah] sisters are wrong to try and cage the Dragon, since the world is still broken, and needs to be healed. [Moiraine] says that some things can't be healed. [Moiraine] says she needs an oath from [Verin], but [Verin] refuses, saying that any oath now taken may need to be broken later for the greater good, and besides they almost always have loopholes[1].

That's when [Egwene] realizes that [Elayne] didn't need her explaining everything. [Elayne] says that six summers at the [Tower] did that, but she truly did want to chat with [Egwene]. They then run into [Sheriam] outside their rooms. [Sheriam] wants to know the name of the woman who managed to get all the fancy furniture into the [Tower]. [Elayne] refuses, starting that she would take any punishment that the other woman would have received. [Sheriam] says that means [Elayne] will be in her office, every morning for three months, feeling [Sheriam]'s switch on her shoulders. [Elayne] accepts that and then asks if she should be in the office before or after breakfast, to which [Sheriam] replies before. [Egwene] gives a half smirk for [Elayne] standing up to [Sheriam].
