! __Min__ POV

[Min|Min Farshaw] is in [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin]'s room with [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara], [Corele|Corele Hovian], [Merise|Merise Haindehl] and [Beldeine|Beldeine Nyram]. She feels pain and anger through her bond to [Rand|Rand alThor]. She is reading ''Commentary on the Dragon'' by [Sajius]. [Erian|Erian Boroleos], [Nesune|Nesune Bihara], [Sarene|Sarene Nemdahl] and [Beldeine|Beldeine Nyram] are not very welcome near [Rand|Rand alThor] anymore so they have joined [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin]'s camp. The only [Aes Sedai] he sees anymore is [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]. She reads:

* He shall hold a blade of light in his hands, and the three shall be one.

She comments that she thinks the interpretation is wrong. [Beldeine|Beldeine Nyram] sniffs. [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] demands to know what [Min|Min Farshaw] thinks. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] told [Min|Min Farshaw] that [Aes Sedai] practice exerting control. The interpretation is that "the three" are three nations. But [Rand|Rand alThor] only has one crown and [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] has the crown of [Tear|Tear (Country)]. It means something about how he must use %%ot [Callandor]%%.[1] [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] tells her that she is right and suggests that [Beldeine|Beldeine Nyram] apologize. She leaves in a huff and [Karldin|Karldin Manfor] follows from a side chamber. That very passage led [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] to investigate %%ot [Callandor]%% and she learned that it can only be used safely by a circle of three. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] paces, worried about [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran]. [Min|Min Farshaw] has a [viewing|viewings] of her:

* She was kneeling over someone's corpse in a posture of grief.[2]

She also had a [viewing|viewings] of [Beldeine|Beldeine Nyram]:

* A black knife spun around her head

[Min|Min Farshaw] says something is still wrong with the interpretation, something they have not discovered, and [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] agrees.[1] At that moment [Tam|Tam alThor] bursts into the room in a fury. He demands to know what [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] did to [Rand|Rand alThor]. He says [Rand|Rand alThor] tried to kill him. [Min|Min Farshaw] is terrified thinking of her own experience with [Rand|Rand alThor], but that had been [Semirhage], not him. [Tam|Tam alThor] tells [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] that she has a lot to explain and she wraps him in [Air|One Power]. He tells her she is a bully and that irks her enough that she puts him back down. They argue, but [Min|Min Farshaw] senses that [Rand|Rand alThor] is gone. The others ask where. She says he has gone to [Ebou Dar] to destroy the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)].

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] These observations are probably crucial to the [Last Battle|Creator], but their meaning will likely not be clear until the final book.
\\[#2] The obvious possibility is [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran], but this could just as easily be someone else close to her.
