! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] are sailing down the [Erinin River] on the ''[Blue Crane]''. The captain is [Chin Ellisor]. The crew thinks they are [Aes Sedai]. There is a great deal of destruction on the [Cairhienin|Cairhien (Country)] side of the river from the civil war. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] has tried the [twisted ring] nearly every night but learned nothing useful. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] each tried it for one night. They also experienced %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%% but, again, did not learn anything. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] has also had numerous [dreams|TelAranRhiod]:

* [Rand|Rand alThor] holding a sword that blazed like the sun, till she could hardly see that it was a sword, could hardly make out that it was him at all.[1]
* [Rand|Rand alThor] threatened in a dozen ways, none of them the least bit real.
* [Rand|Rand alThor] on a huge stones board, the black and white stones as big as boulders, and him dodging the monstrous hands that moved them and seemed to try to crush him under them.
* [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] with a wolf, and with a falcon, and a hawk - and the falcon and the hawk fighting.[2]
* [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] running from someone deadly.[3]
* [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] stepping willingly over the edge of a towering cliff while saying, "It must be done. I must learn to fly before I reach the bottom."[4]
* An [Aiel], and she thought that had to do with [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], too.[5]
* [Min|Min Farshaw], springing a steel trap but somehow walking through it without so much as seeing it.
* [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] with dice spinning 'round him.[6]
* [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] being followed by a man who was not there.[7]
* [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] riding desperately toward something unseen in the distance that he had to reach.
* [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] with a woman who seemed to be tossing fireworks about. An [Illuminator|Guild of Illuminators] she assumed.[8]
* Men and women breaking out of a cage, then putting on crowns.[9]
* A woman playing with puppets, and another dream where the strings on puppets led to the hands of larger puppets, and their strings led to still greater puppets, on and on until the last strings vanished into unimaginable heights.
* Kings dying, queens weeping, battles raging.
* [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] ravaging the [Two Rivers].[10]
* Several dreams about the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)].


[Elayne|Elayne Trakand] is upset about all the destruction and wants to do something about it. This surprises [Egwene|Egwene alVere] who recalls a lesson from [Bennae] Sedai stating that [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] and [Andor] have had frequent wars. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] realizes that one of her dreams means that a [Gray Man] is after [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]. Suddenly, the ''[Blue Crane]'' runs aground on a mud flat. They debate staying on the ship or walking. The next village on the [Andor] side is fifteen miles but the next village on the [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] side, [Jurene], is only six. It is held by [Andoran|Andor] soldiers so it is also safe. They are put ashore on the [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] side and begin walking. After walking a short while, an [Aiel] woman steps out of the bushes in front of them.[11]
