! __Nynaeve__ POV

In %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%%, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] tries to move to the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]'s study, but she cannot. Instead, she goes to [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar]'s study and walks. Fearing the [Black Ajah] and their dream %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%, she disguises herself as [Melaine]. [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] appears briefly in the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]'s stole, but [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] thinks that must be just her own dream. She finds the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]'s study changed a lot. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] arrives and recognizes [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] through the disguise. She says they could not go directly to the study because of the changes. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells her to stop playing around in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%% and terrifies her with a nightmare. They see the picture of [Rand|Rand alThor] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] identifies the other as [Bonwhin|Bonwhin Meraighdin]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] begins searching the papers in the study while [Egwene|Egwene alVere] takes the anteroom. One is a request from [Joline|Joline Maza] to serve penance.[1] [Davram Bashere] and his army cannot be found and [Tenobia|Tenobia si Bashere Kazadi] is not cooperating. There have been no reports from [Tanchico] in three weeks. [Pedron Niall] is claiming credit for solving a dispute between [Murandy] and [Illian|Illian (Country)]. There is a report on a suspected gathering of [Blue Ajah] sisters.[2] 

While she is reading, [Egwene|Egwene alVere] cries out. She found a document signed by [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] as [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]. They conclude that [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] must be dead or [stilled|stilling], probably over [Rand|Rand alThor]. They continue to search and find an arrest warrant for [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] as well as the orders to capture and return [Elayne|Elayne Trakand], but they cannot find the letter referencing the [Blue Ajah] gathering. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] finds herself deferring to [Egwene|Egwene alVere] and realizes it was because she lied. She then admits to [Egwene|Egwene alVere] the [Ronde Macura] drugged her and that [Thom|Thom Merrilin] and [Juilin|Juilin Sandar] had to rescue them. The damage is already done and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] maintains her authority. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] maintains that she does not lie, so [Egwene|Egwene alVere] forces a stinky drink on her. They agree that [Egwene|Egwene alVere] should only tell [Rand|Rand alThor] and [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] about [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] and that they must find the [Blue Ajah]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] warns her again to avoid [Moghedien], then she disappears. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] goes back to her bed in [Sienda].

! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] wakes in her tent, thankful that none of the [Wise Ones|Aiel] are there. She is not afraid of [Bair] punishing her. Rather she is afraid that [Amys] will refuse to teach her anymore. [Timolan] and the [Miagoma] have arrived. They have not joined [Rand|Rand alThor], but are paralleling his course. She goes to [Rand|Rand alThor]'s tent. [Aviendha] and [Enaila] are outside. [Rand|Rand alThor] is busy studying the [Prophecies of the Dragon|Karaethon Prophecies] with [Natael|Asmodean]. She then goes to [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred]'s tent where [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] is guarding. Inside, [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] is using her pendant to eavesdrop on [Rand|Rand alThor].[3] She started up again after [Rand|Rand alThor] shielded his dreams against the [Wise Ones|Aiel]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells her that [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] is now [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] asks if this was a [Dream|TelAranRhiod]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] recalls several recent dreams:

* [Rand|Rand alThor] sitting down in a chair, and somehow she knew that the chair's owner would be murderously angry at having her chair taken; that the owner was a woman was as much as she could pick out of that, and not a thing more.
* [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], lounging with [Faile|Zarine Bashere] on his lap, kissing her while she played with the short-cut beard he wore in the dream. Behind them two banners waved, a red wolf's head and a crimson eagle. A man in a bright yellow coat stood near to [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]'s shoulder, a sword strapped to his back; in some way she knew that he was a [Tinker|Tinkers], though no [Tinker|Tinkers] would even touch a sword. And every bit of it except the beard seemed important. The banners, [Faile|Zarine Bashere] kissing [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], even the [Tinker|Tinkers]. Every time he moved closer to [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] it was as if a chill of doom shot through everything.
* [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] throwing dice with blood streaming down his face, the wide brim of his hat pulled low so she could not see his wound, while [Thom Merrilin] put his hand into a fire to draw out the small blue stone that now dangled on [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred]'s forehead.
* A storm, great dark clouds rolling without wind or rain while forked lightning bolts, every one identical, rent the earth.

but she has interpreted none of them. She hedges and implies that it was a [Dream|TelAranRhiod] without actually lying. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] does not understand how [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] can be so calm. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] says they have been searching nearly twenty-one years. When their search began, the new [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] was [Sierin Vayu]. She was of the [Gray Ajah] but behaved more like [Red Ajah]. She would have put them under penance for the rest of their lives. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] and [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] have always known the risk and the price they would pay. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells her that the [Blue Ajah] is gathering somewhere and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]'s report of the [Forsaken] including [Lanfear]. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] says that with luck they will not have to worry about [Lanfear].[4] They can only advise and guide [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] asks why [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] is now obeying [Rand|Rand alThor]. She replies that she remembered how to control %%ot [saidar|Said]%%. One must surrender to it. When [Egwene|Egwene alVere] leaves, she realizes that [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] treated her as an equal.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] The penance [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] assigned in [TFoH,Prologue].
\\[#2] The document references [Salidar], but [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] quickly forgets. This implies that [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] has spies or double agents somewhere and that the [White Tower] knows about [Salidar] long before the [Salidar Aes Sedai] suspect it. We learn more as to how this might have happened in [TGS,Ch43].
\\[#3] So she surely must know about [Natael|Asmodean] now.
\\[#4] Because she knows what the future holds for [Lanfear] and herself. ([TFoH,Ch52], [TFoH,Ch53])
