! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] work in the kitchen the rest of the day. [Verin|Verin Mathwin], [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan], [Alanna|Alanna Mosvani], [Anaiya] and [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar] all visit the kitchen during the day and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] wonders about their motives. That evening the three go to [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s room to try the [twisted ring]. Both [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] want to try it, too, but [Egwene|Egwene alVere] insists on going alone. They sit with her while she goes to bed wearing the [twisted ring]. She falls asleep thinking of [Rand|Rand alThor], then [Perrin|Perrin Aybara].

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] is walking through rolling hills. She wonders how [Verin|Verin Mathwin]'s %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%%, [Corianin Nedeal]'s World of Dreams, could be dangerous. She experiments and discovers that she can [channel|True Source]. She decides to look around and takes a step.

She is in a hallway of an inn. The door in front of her opens and she sees [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] holding himself chained to a black stone pillar and guarded by a wolf. The wolf starts toward her and she yells at [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]. He looks up and says, "[Hopper], no!" The door closes.[1]

She is in some woods near a campfire. She walks to the camp and sees [Rand|Rand alThor] staring into the flames. He hears her so she announces herself and tells him it is a dream. He thinks she is Shadowspawn disguised as [Egwene|Egwene alVere] and attacks her with a sword of fire. She flees.[2]

She is back in the rolling hills. She holds the [twisted ring] and wishes for it to take her where she needs to be, where she can find an answer.[3]

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] is in a great hall of redstone columns. There is a crystal sword floating in the center. An ugly old woman identifies herself as [Silvie|lanfear][4] and says she served [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s family for years. She tells [Egwene|Egwene alVere] they are in the [Heart of the Stone|Stone of Tear] in [Tear|Tear (City)]. It is full of answers and secrets. She says they all pretend to serve the [Great Lord|ShaiTan] while plotting their own agendas. She says [Ishamael] is a fool, shocking [Egwene|Egwene alVere]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] asks about the sword and [Silvie|Lanfear] identifies it as %%ot [Callandor]%%. She can sense %%ot [saidar|Said]%% in the barrier around it and realizes that the blank spaces must be %%ot [saidin|Said]%%. She hears footsteps and [Silvie|Lanfear] says that he is coming to stare at it again.[5] She tells [Egwene|Egwene alVere] to leave immediately. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] says she does not know how and [Silvie|Lanfear] says she will help. She grabs the [twisted ring] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] experiences a blinding flash of pain.

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] screams as she wakes. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] tell her she never moved. She tells them all about it except for the part about [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and the wolf. They realize the [Heart of the Stone|Stone of Tear] must be their target so they must go to [Tear|Tear (City)]. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] says she must send a letter to her mother or [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] might send [Gareth Bryne] and the whole army against [Tar Valon] or after them. The only problem is ensuring safe delivery without the wrong person reading it. They plan to leave midday the next day. As they all go to sleep (in the same bed) [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] laughs and announces that she knows who will take the letter for [Elayne|Elayne Trakand].[6]
