! __Aviendha__ POV

Back at Lord [Tallaen]'s log manor, the [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] including [Lerian|lerian] and [Surial|surial] are angry that [Rand|Rand alThor] met with [Ituralde|Rodel Ituralde] alone. [Aviendha] is carrying rocks from the stream to the manor house and back, more punishment. She must regain her honor to merit [Rand|Rand alThor] as much as [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Min|Min Farshaw]. Her time with [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] made her more used to so much water. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] keeps a good camp, but the men move more slowly with the strange, dark sky. 

Two [Saldaean|Saldaea] guards stand at the door to the manor. One complains of the heat though it is not warm. [Aviendha] does not understand the complaining. It should be a sign of weakness, yet [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] complains frequently on her pregnancy and she is not weak. Through the bond she knows that [Rand|Rand alThor] is in his rooms. The [Wise Ones|Aiel] continue to question her on [Rand|Rand alThor] and [Rhuarc]. 

The next time she passes the door the guard [Adrin] looks very ill. Suddenly he rakes at his face and smoking black tarry coals pour out. He collapses, his clothing bursting into flame and setting the doorframe on fire. She weaves [Air|One Power] and [Water|One Power] to extinguish the fire but her weaves fail as they near the burning mass.[1] She tries to smother the fire pulling up earth with [Earth|One Power] and [Air|One Power] but that is not enough. Finally, she weaves [Air|One Power] and [Water|One Power] to pull a spout of water from the stream. She sees other streams form; [Naeff] stands in a window above her. The water finally douses the fire. [Rand|Rand alThor] comes out the door angrily shaking his fist at the sky and the [Dark One|ShaiTan].[2] A lanky young [Domani|Arad Doman] officer is shaken.[3] [Bashere|Davram Bashere] begins restoring order among his men. Lord [Tallaen] moans about the damage to his manor. Several [Aes Sedai] come out. 

[Merise|Merise Haindehl] says it is a shame that [Aviendha] is not in the [White Tower] with her talent. [Melaine] comes up and stares down [Merise|Merise Haindehl]. [Melaine] then compliments [Aviendha] saying no [Aes Sedai] save perhaps [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] could have done what she did. [Melaine] then asks her opinion on [Rand|Rand alThor]'s plan for the [Council of Merchants|Arad Doman]. [Rand|Rand alThor]'s continued demands may alienate the clan chiefs. [Rhuarc] is wise and patient but others like [Timolan] are not. [Melaine] wonders what "remnant of a remnant" [Rand|Rand alThor] will leave of the [Aiel]. 

[Melaine] then sends [Aviendha] to bed; she looks like a %%ot [sharadan|Aiel Waste Creatures]%% crawling for three days. There will be more punishment for tomorrow.[4] [Aviendha] thinks about going to [Rand|Rand alThor], but she will not until she figures out how to restore her honor.
