! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] walks though the camp preparing for the assault on the [White Tower]. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] found her Great Serpent ring. She wears a red dress to symbolize reunification with the [Red Ajah] as well as the blood spilled. Over fifty [Black Ajah] sisters were [stilled|stilling] and beheaded. She can still see [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar] on the block. A rare golden sunbeam lit her fiery red hair and blue dress as the silvery axe descended.[1] They only discovered three [Black Ajah] sisters whose names were not on [Verin|Verin Mathwin]'s list. Nearly twenty escaped. The [Warder] are under guard until they can be sorted out. Some [Sitters] argued for questioning but [Egwene|Egwene alVere] would not repeat her mistake with [Moghedien]. [Lelaine|Lelaine Akashi] reports that the army is ready to move. 

[Romanda|Romanda Cassin] reports that there has been no word from the [Black Tower] embassy. In addition to the [Sitters], the embassy included [Nisao|Nisao Dachen], [Myrelle|Myrelle Berengari],[2] [Theodrin|Theodrin Dabei] and [Faolain|Faolain Orande]. Why all women sworn to [Egwene|Egwene alVere]?[3] [Lelaine|Lelaine Akashi] then reports that [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar]'s story was true. All the Dream %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% are missing.[4] They are all disturbed by [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar]'s other claim that one of the [Forsaken] is in the [White Tower]. They reach the edge of the camp where there is a large group of soldiers as well as a [Sitter|Sitters] from each [Ajah|Aes Sedai]. They mount and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] sees [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] following her. They ride to the outskirts of [Darein]. They can see the [White Tower], wounded but still standing. [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] and [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] are waiting. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] guesses correctly that she bonded him. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] that she is angry and that [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] must regain her trust. [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] leads her through [Darein] to the [Alindaer] Bridge so she can see the force of a thousand of the [Tower Guard|White Tower] on the other side. The army can cut them down but it will be bloody. She asks [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] if he agrees with the assault. He says it is not his place to make and opinion, but the rebels have lost the advantage of [Traveling|Weaves#t] and the [White Tower] will never be weaker. It is time to either attack or give up and leave. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] says they will wait an hour. After that it will be too dark. 

As she prepares to give the command, another group approaches. They are ten [Aes Sedai] led by [Andaya Forae]. The sisters comprise two [Sitters] from the [Brown|Brown Ajah], [Gray|Gray Ajah], [Green|Green Ajah], [White|White Ajah] and [Yellow|Yellow Ajah].[5] [Andaya|Andaya Forae] announces that the [Hall|Sitters] has chosen to raise [Egwene|Egwene alVere] to the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]. [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] was taken by the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] demands and [Andaya|Andaya Forae] accedes that the army may enter the city, the rebels will be accepted back and the [Blue Ajah] reinstated. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] feels joy and satisfaction as she rides into [Tar Valon].

\\[#3] No answers to this question...yet.
