! __Elayne__ POV

The morning after [TSR,Ch52] [Elayne|Elayne Trakand], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] ride to the [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace] in a wagon led by [Bayle Domon] and twenty men. Their ruse is to deliver more ice peppers for [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault]. [Thom|Thom Merrilin] and [Juilin|Juilin Sandar] have been out spreading rumors to start another riot. At the palace they are questioned by [Carridin|Jaichim Carridin] and his [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] but they are allowed to pass. The three women carry baskets of ice peppers to the kitchen. [Marillin|Marillin Gemalphin] is there feeding a cat, but she is too absorbed to sense them. In the pantry, the three change into servant's clothes. They get the breakfast tray for 'Lady' [Ispan|Ispan Shefar]. They split up with [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] going to the museum and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] going after [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault]. They enter her room and see that [Temaile|Temaile Kinderode] is there. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] slams her to a wall with [Air|One Power] knocking her out. They convince [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault] that they are friends, but she is still petulant and sulky. They have to force her to cooperate as they sneak out.

! __Nynaeve__ POV

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] goes to the museum and finds the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets]. Just then a maid enters and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] recognizes her as [Moghedien]. 

They attack each other and are evenly matched. [Moghedien] is furious that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] has ruined her plans and vows to make her pay. She says she will give [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] to [Rahvin] even though he already has a pretty little queen.[1] She says the [Black Ajah] women have a number of useful items.[2] Seeing the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets], [Moghedien] tells her about it. It is made of %%ot [cuendillar]%% so it cannot be destroyed. A woman can control a man, but he will still go mad and back flow will eventually give him control, too. Two women can use the bracelets but that lessens control. The [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets] were made after the Bore was sealed, but [Moghedien] learned about them in her research after she broke free. She was two hundred years old when the Bore was opened, young for [Aes Sedai]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] throws the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets] at her breaking her concentration and finally shields her. She ties off the shield and ties up [Moghedien] with [Air|One Power] and retrieves the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets], then goes to the glass case. At first she does not see the [seal|Seals], but then realizes it has been disguised as another figurine. She takes the [seal|Seals] as well. As she turns to go, she sees [Jeaine|Jeaine Caide] pointing the [fluted black rod] at her. She jumps aside as a bar of [balefire|Weaves] destroys much of the museum. When she looks up [Jeaine Caide] is nowhere in sight. [Moghedien] is gone, too.[3] [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] is mystified about how she could have escaped. Still wondering, she goes to meet [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath].

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] Queen [Morgase|Morgase Trakand]\\
[#2] Which ones?\\
[#3] Once [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] tied off the shield, [Moghedien] could unravel it. She verifies this in [LoC,Ch12]. [Rand|Rand alThor] does the same in [LoC,Ch55]. [Lanfear] also hints at this in [TSR,Ch58]. If the shieldee is much stronger than the shielder, the shield can also be broken by brute force. ([TSR,Ch35])\\
