! __Aviendha__ POV

The wind passes [Tremalking] peopled by the peaceful [Amayar|Tremalking] who follow the [Water Way|Tremalking]. They have their own prophecy of the [giant statue|Choedan Kal].[1] The wind passes over the [Sea of Storms] to [Altara]. Seafaring folk use the wind and currents to travel from [World's End|Worlds End] to [Mayene] and beyond. [Aviendha] is ready to leave the [Ebou Dar] palace. She worries about [Olver] but does not understand why. She thinks [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] will find him. She is with [Elayne|Elayne Trakand], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara], [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] and [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran]. It is later the same day as [ACoS,Ch39]. She feels like she is being watched. [Aviendha] is almost twenty. They run into [Teslyn Baradon]. They warn her about [Moghedien], the %%ot [gholam|Gholam]%%, the [Black Ajah] and the coming storm. [Teslyn|Teslyn Baradon] does not believe them but she says that she and [Joline|Joline Maza] will not interfere with their leaving.[2] It is the day after the [Festival of Birds|Calendar], the day of the [Feast of Embers|Calendar].[3] There will be fireworks by a refugee [Illuminator|Guild of Illuminators].[4] There are traveling shows in the city as well.[5] They enter the palace stableyard where the twenty [Sea Folk], five [Aes Sedai], five [Warder] and eleven [Kin] are waiting. The [Sea Folk] are led by [Renaile din Calon|Renaile din Calon Blue Star], [Windfinder|Sea Folk] to the [Mistress of the Ships|Sea Folk]. The five [Aes Sedai] are [Merilille Ceandevin], [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle] and [Vandene Namelle], [Sareitha Tomares] and [Careane|Careane Fransi]. [Merilille|Merilille Ceandevin]'s maid, [Pol], is also with them. [Reanne Corly] leads the ten other [Kin] survivors including [Sumeko|Sumeko Karistovan], [Kirstian|Kirstian Chalwin], [Ieine], [Dimana], [Sibella], [Tamarla] and [Chilares|Chilares Arman]. [Ispan|Ispan Shefar] is drugged, shielded and guarded. [Aviendha] opens a gateway. She has trouble and thinks it is as tenuous as a mirage in the [Termool|Aiel Waste]. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] taught her; she cannot remember how she did it before.[6] [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran], [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] and [Cieryl Arjuna], one of [Careane|Careane Fransi]'s [Warder], go through first followed by the [Aes Sedai], [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]. The four other [Warder][7] will go through last. [Aviendha] feels watched again and spots a man[8] watching from the top of a spire. She tells a [Windfinder|Sea Folk][9] going through to warn [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]. The passage continues.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] It will soon be fulfilled ([WH,Ch35]) and have a horrific consequence. ([KoD,Ch22])
\\[#2] [Joline|Joline Maza] will not interfere because [Teslyn|Teslyn Baradon] drugged her with [forkroot|Herbs]. ([WH,Ch19])
\\[#3] Early printings stated two days after. This is being corrected.
\\[#4] Evidently the same one who was looking for [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] in [ACoS,Ch17]. This must be [Aludra|aludra]. ([WH,Ch15])
\\[#5] One of them is [Valan Luca]'s circus. ([WH,Ch15])
\\[#6] When she escapes from [Rand|Rand alThor] in ''The Far Snows''. ([TFoH,Ch31]) The difficulty of learning a new method for a weave is normal. It is known as the second-learned weave limitation ([KoD,Ch23]) and [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] mentions it in [TPoD,Ch12].
\\[#7] The four other [Warder] are [Vandene|Vandene Namelle]'s [Jaem], [Careane|Careane Fransi]'s [Venr Kosaan] and [Tavan], and [Sareitha|Sareitha Tomares]'s [Ned Yarman].
\\[#8] The %%ot [gholam|Gholam]%%.
