! __Nynaeve__ POV

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] is in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%% in the [Heart of the Stone|Stone of Tear]. Again, she feels watched. [Amys], [Bair] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] appear looking misty. They are half-asleep while riding. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] about the attack on [Cold Rocks] Hold and that [Seana], one of the [dreamwalkers|TelAranRhiod], is dead. [Rand|Rand alThor] has them hurrying to [Alcair Dal]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] is frustrated that she promised [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] she would look after [Rand|Rand alThor], but she does not know how. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] tells [Egwene|Egwene alVere] about recent events. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] wants to enter [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault]'s dreams to see if she is a [Darkfriend|Darkfriends]. [Bair] tells her that is foolish and dangerous. [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault] would control her. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] then suggests forcing [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault] into %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%%. [Amys] says that is an evil thing to do. That was the way of the Shadow during the [Shadow War]. [Amys] explains that she can use [Need|TelAranRhiod] and describes how it works. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] recognizes that she used [Need|TelAranRhiod] before.[1] They tell her it is still very dangerous because you have no control or knowledge of where you will land. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] does not tell [Egwene|Egwene alVere] about [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath], remembering her nightmares after being leashed in [Falme]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] agree to meet again in seven days and the other three women disappear. She thinks of [Need|TelAranRhiod] and the [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace] and danger to [Rand|Rand alThor].

She is in a huge bedroom. There is a woman, naked except for a crown and stole, clearly under torment. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] recognizes the other woman in the room as [Temaile Kinderode], realizes that the first woman must be [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault] and quickly thinks of [Need|TelAranRhiod] again.

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] is in the museum of the [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace]. She sees another woman appear. The woman examines a glass case, then a white stone stand. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] realizes she is shaking, then suddenly she remembers the woman and the interview.[2] Furious, she prepares to attack, but [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] appears next to her and urgently points to a door. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] ignores her and opens herself to the [One Power], but the other woman is gone. Still angry, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] goes to the room where [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] pointed. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] is waiting there. She tells [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] that the woman is [Moghedien] and the man near [Rhuidean] was [Asmodean]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] is confused by [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion]'s existence, so [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] explains. The [Heroes of the Horn|Horn of Valere] live in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%% when they are not living lives. When the [Horn|Horn of Valere] calls them they are not there in the flesh, so the [One Power] does not affect them. Here in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%% the [One Power] could destroy her easily. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] has been watching all of them. She is helping even though she is not supposed to. [Gaidal Cain] appears and agrees that she should not be helping. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] tells [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] she will help if she can, but it will not be much. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] asks about [Moghedien]. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] says [Moghedien] is even stronger than [Lanfear] in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%%. She also has a grudge against [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion]. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] and [Gaidal Cain] vanish. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] then goes to see what [Moghedien] was examining. The glass case contains one of the [seals|Seals]. Once more she uses [Need|TelAranRhiod].

She is standing in front of the white stone stand. A necklace and two bracelets of black metal, the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets], lie on top. She touches it and feels waves of pain and sorrow. She is convinced that this is the danger to [Rand|Rand alThor]. She feels herself waking.

! __Elayne__ POV

[Elayne|Elayne Trakand] wakes [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] tells [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] and her the whole story. As they discuss the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets], they realize it must be a male %%ot [a'dam|aDam]%%. They hear a commotion outside and open the door. [Thom|Thom Merrilin], [Juilin|Juilin Sandar] and [Bayle|Bayle Domon] are there with an unconscious man who attacked [Thom|Thom Merrilin]. [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] suddenly realizes she is in her shift and shrieks in mortification. When she is properly dressed, she tells them the unconscious man is the [Seeker|Almurat Mor]. He was after her, but now may be after the others as well. They agree to dump him out back rather than kill him. When [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] comments on her reaction, [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] says she is no [shea dancer|Seanchan]. The men go downstairs to order tea from [Rendra] while [Elayne|Elayne Trakand], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] plan their assault on the [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace].
