Scene 3 - Another Nightmare?#

Rand is having a nightmare where he has apparently slain all of his friends. Ishamael is there watching and disappears with a chuckle. Rand wakes up and stands alone in a room in Cairhien. Selene, in bed, asks if he had another nightmare. He doesn't answer and she goes over to where he's standing. She puts a hand on his chest, but he says he has to go to work. She says he still owes room and board for this month.

Scene 4 - Asylum#

Rand walks through the Foregate into the city proper and enters a building. He switches his jacket for a robe and continues on into the building, walking past various rooms with patients. It's a mental asylum. There's a lot of loud voices, including a male voice saying "Do you hear me? You are mine, Rand al'Thor."

Scene 6 - Tifan's Well#

At Verin's place, Lan and Moiraine are recovering from their Healing. Adeleas and Verin come outside to look after them. Verin says the she and her sister will accompany them and assuming that the White Tower will be the first stop. Moiraine tells Verin that she's been exiled, but Verin says she already knows. Lan stands, gingerly, and Moiraine tells him that they need to leave soon. She tells him to have Tomas ready her horse because Lan is still feeling weak.

Scene 7 - Nailed to a Door#

The Hunters for the Horn, mounted, are traveling through Arad Doman, led by Elyas, on foot. Uno complains about the lack of speed. They get to a clearing at a river, and Elyas says this is where they crossed. There are buildings visible on the other side of the river. Ingtar has a bad feeling about it. They cross the river and enter the building, which has a courtyard. Perrin thinks he sees a woman in a window and tells everyone. Ingtar and Perrin enter the house and Perrin sees a family at a dinner table being attacked by a man and a Fade. Perrin turns around and sees Elyas standing in the doorway, who says "This is where it happened." Perrin turns back to the room and sees hundreds of flies and other insects buzzing around. 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.

Scene 8 - Blademaster#

Rand enters the room of his new charge, an older man named Errol, who is apparently a veteran of the Aiel War because he calls out for help, saying that the Aiel have breached the wall. Rand calms him down and takes him for a walk. Errol was a Blademaster. They talk about different sword forms, including

• Cutting the Clouds
• Kissing the Adder
• Parting the Silk
• Reaping the Barley

In the middle of that Yann bangs on a door which causes Errol to have a panic attack, dropping to his knees. Rand and Yann almost get into a fight and Yann say that at least working in the garden, he gets to see "some of the more famous residents." Rand comforts Errol and they continue their conversation.

Scene 9 - Liandrin Took Her#

Egwene enters the Tower kitchen with a bucket full of dishes and asks another novice where Nynaeve was. The novice tells her that Liandrin came in and took her somewhere.

Scene 10 - Ajah Tour#

Liandrin is giving Nynaeve a tour and explanation of the different Ajahs. The first stop is at a Healing where a girl is being treated for Breakbone Fever by a Yellow Accepted. 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 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. With that, Liandrin buys some sweetcakes and leaves.

Scene 11 - Sweetcakes#

Liandrin enters Mat's room with the sweetcakes. Mat wonders aloud if they're poisoned. Liandrin leaves, and as she locks the door from the outside, Mat mimics the motions she must do to lock the door. Once she's gone, he grabs a sweetcake and resumes work on slowly taking bricks out of a wall.

Scene 12 - New Dormmate#

Egwene approaches her room and sees a lot of activity in the next room, along with nice furniture in the hallway and pillows blocking her door. A servant in deep red passes her by. She picks up the pillows and goes into the next room. Another novice is moving in and she tells Egwene just to set the pillows down. Egwene does, but then tells her to stop blocking her door. 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 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. Elayne talks about how some of the greatest pairings came from novices in adjacent rooms, like Cadsuane Melaidhrin and Elena Katab and wonders about their own future together.

Scene 13 - To Test or Not to Test#

Sheriam is visiting Alanna and her two warders are present. Alanna asks if Arinvar couldn't join them but Sheriam says that there are some things that only Aes Sedia should talk about. Instead of taking the hint, Alanna sits back and starts talking about the subject with her warders present. The conversation is about Liandrin's plan to have Nynaeve take the Accepted test. 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 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. The novice tells her that Liandrin just left and maybe if Nynaeve is quick, she can catch her. Nynaeve continues down the hall, catches site of Liandrin, and continues after her. Nynaeve follows her to an apparent dead-end, but then finds a hidden doorway to stairs down. Nynaeve goes to the bottom of the stairs and then follows a tunnel that leads under buildings and streets and eventually into a market somewhere in Tar Valon.

Scene 15 - Atuan's Mill#

The Hunters of the Horn arrive at Atuans Mill, a town on the peninsula of Toman Head and decide to spend the night there and hopefully find information on Fain. As they travel through the town, they pass through a market with some interesting foods like lionfish, which is served fermented and is something that Loial likes. They all go into an inn, except for Elyas, who tells Perrin that he prefers to sleep under the stars. As they part, Elyas tells Perrin that the Shienarans are not his pack.

Scene 16 - Who Else Knows?#

At a nighttime camp on the way to Tar Valon, Moiraine and Verin chat. They are next to the Erinin River and can see Tar Valon in the distance downriver. Verin mentions the oddity of three Fades hunting a single Aes Sedai. Verin assumes it's because of one of the boys that returned with her to Tar Valon last autumn. 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 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].

Verin says that there are books in the Tower that might help. Ones that talk of prophesies at Toman Head, battles in the sky, a sword of flame and the branded hand that wields it, and she will find them.[2]

Scene 17 - Party in the Foregate#

People are partying in the Foregate. This includes Yann, who Rand is watching from afar. Yann finally stumbles away from the crowds and Rand follows. Rand finally gets his chance and beats Yann unconscious, almost using the power on him.

Scene 18 - Being Alone Together#

When Rand returns to his room, Selene is in there waiting for him. He tells her that he wants to be alone. She says that's exactly the time when people should not be alone. Then she says that the can both be alone together.

Scene 19 - Before Breakfast or After?#

Egwene is giving Elayne a tour of the Tower and explaining the rules that novices live by when Farina, an Aes Sedai, passes by and acknowledges Elayne as "Daughter-Heir" and then Elayne responds back with her name and title, "Farina Sedai". 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. Sheriam then asks Egwene where Nynaeve is, but she does not know.

Scene 20 - A Man in Northharbor#

In Cairhien’s Northharbor, Liandrin visits her son Aludran, using diluted crimsonthorn root to alleviate his chronic pain.
