! __Siuan Sanche__ POV

[Siuan|Siuan Sanche] and [Leane|Leane Sharif] are talking with [Anaiya], [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar], [Carlinya] and [Myrelle|Myrelle Berengari]. [Beonin|Beonin Marinye] and [Morvrin] have also joined them. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] is sweating. She still has some ability to ignore the heat, but not during a confrontation. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] tries to goad them into action against [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] because she will misuse [Rand|Rand alThor]. She recalls that [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] likes [Anaiya]; [Anaiya] and [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] do not like each other. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] remembers [Carlinya] as a [novice|novices] and [Accepted]. She was long on logic, but short on common sense. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] asks if [Aeldene|Aeldene Stonebridge] is in [Salidar]. The head of the [Blue Ajah] eyes-and-ears is not.[1] [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] says she can reactivate the eyes-and-ears network. She then tells them that [Logain|Logain Ablar] was set up by the [Red Ajah].[2] They agree to let [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] continue to run her agents. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] and [Leane|Leane Sharif] then suggest that they select a new [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] and [Sitters]. For [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai], [Leane|Leane Sharif] suggests someone not in the [White Tower] at the time of the revolt and also someone very strong in the [One Power].[3] [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] then announces that she thinks [Rand|Rand alThor] is in the [Aiel Waste]. While she was [Accepted], [Gitara Moroso] told her that [Aiel] [Wise Ones|Aiel] might be able to [channel|True Source] and that the [Aiel] call themselves [People of the Dragon|Aiel].[4] The [Aes Sedai] agree to send [Kiruna Nachiman], [Bera Harkin] and their seven [Warder] to the [Aiel Waste] to find him. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] is sure that [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] is still with [Rand|Rand alThor]. The two [Aes Sedai] should be willing to carry a letter to her from [Siuan|Siuan Sanche]. 

[Arinvar], [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar]'s [Warder|Warder], enters and tells them twenty men are approaching. [Machan] said they looked like veteran soldiers. [Nuhel|Nuhel Dromand] then enters and says that the leader is [Gareth Bryne]. She recalls her last "official" meeting with [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] where she humiliated him in front of [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] and all her nobles. In a panic, [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] tells them to send him away or kill him and everyone stares at her. [Nuhel|Nuhel Dromand] says [Gareth Bryne] is one of the five great living captains. The others are [Agelmar Jagad], [Davram Bashere], [Pedron Niall] and [Rodel Ituralde] of [Arad Doman]. If the [Aes Sedai] want someone to build an army, [Gareth Bryne] is it. The [Aes Sedai] send the [Warder] to fetch [Bryne|Gareth Bryne], then force [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] to tell them everything about why she is afraid of him.
