! __Elayne__ POV

[Elayne|Elayne Trakand] wakes after a bad night. Her dream message from [Egwene|Egwene alVere] confirmed that [Mesaana] was defeated. She spent a night of frustration trying to channel enough for the dream %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% but failed. She is further angry that [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] left and [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] did not let him bid farewell. Every bellfounder in [Andor] is making dragons. 

[Melfane|Melfane Dawlish] stops in to check on her. Her cousin [Tess] had a baby two years ago. [Melfane|Melfane Dawlish] can finally hear two heartbeats, confirming twins. [Melfane|Melfane Dawlish] leaves, sending in [Naris] and [Sephanie|Sephanie Pelden] to dress [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]. 

An hour later [Norry|Halwin Norry] and [Dyelin|Dyelin Taravin] arrive. Despite the [Kin] gateways [Caemlyn] is running short of food. [Arawn|Andor], [Sarand|Andor] and [Marne|Andor] cannot pay the ransoms for the prisoners.[1] There is a letter from [Talmanes|Talmanes Delovinde] agreeing to move companies of the [Band of the Red Hand] to [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)]. [Dyelin|Dyelin Taravin] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] discuss how to take the [Sun Throne|Sun Palace] without creating animosity. They would accept [Rand|Rand alThor] because he was the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor], but [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] already has plots against her. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] is still worried about the invasion. [Dyelin|Dyelin Taravin] thinks %%black [Chesmal|Chesmal Emry]%% must have meant [Trollocs] in the [Borderlands], not [Andor],[2] but [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] is fortifying [Andor]'s borders. 

[Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] enters with two surprise visitors, [Galad|Galad Damodred] and [Morgase|Morgase Trakand]. [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] bows and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] figures that she renounced the throne. [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] says she was held by the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light]. [Pedron Niall] was a gentleman but his successor[3] was not. [Galad|Galad Damodred] informs her that he is now the Lord Captain Commander. She sends him to his old quarters with a dinner invitation as [Dyelin|Dyelin Taravin] and [Norry|Halwin Norry] also leave. 

[Morgase|Morgase Trakand] is immensely proud of what [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] accomplished. [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] can see that she is pregnant and is shocked to learn that [Rand|Rand alThor] is the father. They talk about how [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] may need to make reparations to those she harmed under [Rahvin]'s influence. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] insists on having a celebration for her return, but agrees that it would be best to find a station for [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] away from [Caemlyn]. [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] tells [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] about [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and wants to find a peaceful resolution with him. [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] also says that [Lini|Lini Eltring] is safe then begins to tell her tale.

! __Aviendha__ POV

[Aviendha] looks down on the city of [Rhuidean]. [Rand|Rand alThor] changed the city in three ways. The fog is gone, there is now water, and, most important, the city may not matter anymore. Why should [Aiel] leaders continue to learn of their past and their %%ot [toh|Aiel]%% if they are finally meeting that %%ot [toh|Aiel]%%? She is still troubled about her meeting with [Nakomi] and the almost-memories of her future from her first trip here. The lake beside the city is called Tsodrelle'Aman. Tears of the Dragon. The [Aiel] cannot return to the [Three-fold Land|Aiel Waste] yet. They must deal with the [Last Battle|Creator], the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] and the [White Tower] first. She knows her own future is with [Rand|Rand alThor]. She will enter the [glass columns] tomorrow and she hopes that she will get answers.
