! __Elayne__ POV

There are 147 [Kin] at the [farm|Farm] and all need to leave to avoid capture and leashing by the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)]. Even the [Warder] including [Jaem] help in the preparations. Only the [One Power] can break most %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%.[1] [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] is feeling possessive of the %%ot *[angreal|Angreal]%%. [Careane|Careane Fransi] keeps watch on the hill. After being questioned by [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle] and [Vandene|Vandene Namelle], [Ispan|Ispan Shefar] now seems meek. Some of the women refuse to go to [Andor]. [Renaile|Renaile din Calon Blue Star] tries to keep the [Bowl|Bowl of the Winds] and the [amber turtle] but [Alise|Alise Tenjile] gets them back. [Merilille|Merilille Ceandevin] gets the [amber turtle]. 

[Elayne|Elayne Trakand] makes a gateway, but %%ot [saidar|Said]%% misbehaves. She attributes it to being tired.[2] Their destination is a [Trakand|Andor] estate run by Master [Hornwell] about two weeks from [Caemlyn]. [Gareth Bryne] taught her to ride near here. Led by [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] and [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran], everyone hustles through the gateway and heads for the hills. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] starts to take apart the weave so the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] cannot read the residue and learn how. They all ride to distance themselves from the gateway. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] and [Aviendha] stay with her. The [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] start to attack. They ride off and, just as they reach crest of hill, a %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%% shields [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]. The gateway explodes leveling the ground for hundreds of yards and injuring many.[3] Her horse, [Lioness], is dead. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion]'s own horse is gone, running fit to win the [Wreath of Megairil|Birgitte Trahelion].[4] Neither [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] nor [Aviendha] can [Heal|Weaves#h] well. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] thinks they have new weapon but [Aviendha] says anything can happen, explosion, light, or nothing. 

[Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Aviendha] agree to become first-sisters. [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] ride up.

! __Chulein__ POV

[Chulein], a %%ot [morat'raken|Seanchan (People)]%%, is riding her %%ot [raken]%%, [Segani|raken]. [Tauan] and [Macu] were killed by fireballs from the [Kin]. There are six %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%% with %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%% on the ground. High Lady [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath] is on her way from [Amador] to [Ebou Dar]. [Chulein]'s co-rider is [Eliya]. They never saw fireworks before but %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%% make similar displays called Sky Lights. The explosion of the [farm|Farm] rocks them knocking off [Eliya]. [Chulein] barely gets [Segani|raken] under control. [Chulein] is lucky to have escaped the [Lady of the Shadows|Seanchan (People)].[5] She heads back to [Ebou Dar] to report this new [Aes Sedai] weapon.[6]

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] So what broke the [control statue|Control Statue] %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% in the [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace]?
\\[#2] Actually it was overuse/misuse of the [Bowl of the Winds]. Robert Jordan explained that the [Bowl|Bowl of the Winds] was stressed far, far beyond its original design parameters because of the advanced knowledge of the [Windfinders|Sea Folk]. It was affecting a global pattern, when it was designed for only a small region. Men helping would not have changed anything, and the effects linger most strongly near [Ebou Dar], but also along the "spokes" which radiated from that place. 
\\[#3] The %%ot [gholam|Gholam]%% evidently loses them as it stays in [Ebou Dar] to go after [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]. After the death of [Sammael], it is not at all clear who is giving orders to the %%ot [gholam|Gholam]%%. ([WH,Ch16])
\\[#4] Another throwaway line from [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion]'s past lives.
\\[#5] The [Lady of the Shadows|Seanchan (People)] is a [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] term for death. ([Crossroads of Twilight],Glossary)
\\[#6] The threat of this new "weapon" will lead to plans for a pre-emptive strike at the [White Tower]. ([CoT,Ch4], [TGS,Ch40])
