! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] meets with the [Salidar Aes Sedai] [Sitters] in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%% and passes orders for no rescue. She begins her first morning in the [White Tower] with a spanking from [Silviana|Silviana Brehon], embracing the pain as [Aviendha] taught her. [Melare] confirmed [Leane|Leane Sharif]'s identity. As she leaves she sees [Alviarin|Alviarin Freidhen] waiting for her turn with [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]. Two [Red|Red Ajah] sisters escort her to her room then to the dining hall for breakfast. [Nicola|Nicola Treehill] sees her. Another [novice|novices], [Alvistere], intentionally trips her but [Egwene|Egwene alVere] puts her in her place. [Laras] is in the kitchen. She helped [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] and [Leane|Leane Sharif] escape but [Egwene|Egwene alVere] thinks she did it mostly for [Min|Min Farshaw]. After breakfast two more [Red|Red Ajah] sisters, [Katerine|Katerine Alruddin] and [Jezrail], wait for her with more [forkroot|Herbs] tea. In her first [novice|novices] class she embarrasses [Idrelle Menford] by making fourteen colored balls and circles of [Air|One Power] and [Fire|One Power]. [Katerine|Katerine Alruddin] and [Jezrail] send her to [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] again. After two more classes with [Accepted] teachers she only has private lessons with [Aes Sedai]. 

That first afternoon, [Bennae Nalsad] lectures on [Shein Chunla] and the Third War of [Garen's Wall|Garens Wall], the Great Winter War between [Andor] and [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)], and the [Weikin Rebellion]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] shocks her with secret information on [Shein|Shein Chunla], the Thirteenth Depository in the library, and six previous rebellions in the [White Tower]. Later that day [Lirene Doirellin] makes it clear that she thinks [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] made mistakes. Later in the week [Egwene|Egwene alVere] discusses [Shemerin]'s demotion with [Pritalle Nerbaijan]. Another day she has a lesson with [Serancha Colvine]. After a frustrating session, [Adelorna Bastine] says she thinks even [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] would have a challenge with [Egwene|Egwene alVere]. That day [Egwene|Egwene alVere] receives [Healing|Weaves#h] twice. Another day she has a lesson with [Kiyoshi].

The second night and most nights thereafter she goes to visit [Leane|Leane Sharif]. [Felaana|Felaana Bevaine] and [Dalevien] stand guard with one [Warder|Warder]. She has many visitors wanting to learn the new weaves. [Melare] and [Desala|Desala Nevanche] gave her a beating.

All the [Aes Sedai], even [Sitters], seem distracted. [Pevara Tazanovni] and [Doesine Alwain] almost run into her. She wants to find the ferrets that [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar] and the others sent; she knows their names but not their faces. She is shocked at confirmation that sisters swore fealty to [Rand|Rand alThor] and that [Asha'man] bonded sisters. There are ghosts and changes in the [White Tower] signifying the approach of [Tarmon Gai'don|Creator]. [Pedra] and her [novice|novices] class lose their room. There are a hundred and three [novices] and thirty-one [Accepted] in the [White Tower].

Starting the second day, the [novices]' attitudes begin to change. [Nicola|Nicola Treehill] and [Areina|Areina Nermasiv], who works in the stables, tell the [novices] tales of [Egwene|Egwene alVere] making her a legend like [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] or [Amaresu]. Some of the [novices] try to emulate [Egwene|Egwene alVere] but [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] quickly sets them straight by the fourth day. She becomes a mentor to some such as [Marah|Marah (Novice)] and [Namene] and [Coride]. [Accepted] such as [Mair] and [Asseil] try to give her orders but she refuses to obey.

On the morning of her second day [Alviarin|Alviarin Freidhen] offers to help her escape but [Egwene|Egwene alVere] declines.

On the fourth day she runs into [Mattin Stepaneos|Mattin Stepaneos den Balgar] escorted by [Cariandre] and [Nesita]. He thinks [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] saved him because [Rand|Rand alThor] murdered other nobles. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells him that [Rahvin] killed [Morgase|Morgase Trakand], [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] hanged herself and [Rand|Rand alThor] supports [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] for the [Lion Throne|Royal Palace] and [Sun Throne|Sun Palace]. He appointed a High Lord as steward in [Tear|Tear (Country)]. [Mattin Stepaneos|Mattin Stepaneos den Balgar] looks thoughtful. 

On the seventh day she runs into [Melavaire Someinellin] and [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] with their [Warder]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] angrily accuses [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] of betraying her and being [Black Ajah]. [Melavaire|Melavaire Someinellin] is infuriated but [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] asks to talk with [Egwene|Egwene alVere] alone.
[Beonin|Beonin Marinye] claims she betrayed nothing, her oath no longer holds since [Egwene|Egwene alVere] was captured. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] asks her what all she betrayed. [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] starts to deny betrayal but chokes. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] interprets this to mean she is not [Black Ajah] but she betrayed the moles.[1] [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] admits that [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] is having them watched. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] orders [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] to warn them. She says she already warned [Meidani] and [Jennet|Jennet (Aes Sedai)] but it is too risky to talk to other [Ajahs|Aes Sedai]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] orders her to do it as a penance and [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] reluctantly agrees. She says she wants to bring [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] down. That evening she goes to visit [Leane|Leane Sharif] where three [White Ajah] sisters, [Nagora], [Norine|Norine Dovarna] and [Miyasi], stand guard. She tells [Leane|Leane Sharif] about [Beonin|Beonin Marinye]. Other sisters still quiz [Leane|Leane Sharif] about new weaves so they interpret that to mean [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] did not betray everything.[4]

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] has not had headaches or bad dreams since she was captured[2] but she has had fine dreams about [Rand|Rand alThor], [Mat|Matrim Cauthon], [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand].[3]

The morning of her ninth day [Doesine|Doesine Alwain] [Heals|Weaves#h] [Egwene|Egwene alVere], then she goes for her morning spanking with [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]. She engages [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] in a conversation about [Shemerin]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] goes down to breakfast and all the [novices] stand when she enters. [Ashelin] runs to get her a tray. She sips her tea; there is honey in it. Adding everything together, [Egwene|Egwene alVere] is winning her war.
