! __Gawyn__ POV

[Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] and [Sleete|sleete] walk through the [White Tower] to the apartment where %%white [Kateri Nepvue]%% was murdered. She is the fourth victim in a few days all killed with knives. [Chubain|Jimar Chubain] is also there. He feels threatened as his [Tower Guard|White Tower] were defeated by [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] and [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] is [Morgase|Morgase Trakand]'s son. [Sleete] finds a thread of black silk.[1] They think it might be a [Gray Man]. [Chubain|Jimar Chubain] takes the thread to %%white [Seaine|Seaine Herimon]%% to examine. %%green [Hattori]%% still wants [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] as a second [Warder|Warder]. 

[Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] goes to see [Egwene|Egwene alVere] but he is blocked by %%red [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]%% who makes him wait. Many of his [Younglings], [Jisao|Jisao Hamora], [Rajar], [Durrent], are now [Warder]. He is finally admitted to see [Egwene|Egwene alVere]. They argue about his protecting her. He wants her to order more sisters to bond [Warder] for their protection. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] insists that the assassin is [Mesaana].[1] They argue more and he leaves.

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] is frustrated. She loves [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] but he will not respect her authority.

! __Graendal__ POV

[Graendal] has moved to a hiding place on an island in the [Aryth Ocean] with only six of her pets, one a [Tairen|Tear (Country)] High Lady.[3] A gateway opens and a messenger summons her to [Moridin]'s fortress. He is angry that [Aran'gar|AranGar] is dead. She feigns confusion countering that she was following orders to cause [Rand|Rand alThor] pain. The remorse [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] must feel for destroying all of [Natrin's Barrow|Arad Doman]. [Moridin] seems almost convinced. She vaguely remembers once having felt remorse, but other [Forsaken] such as [Semirhage] were corrupt from the start. He says he will leave her without punishment and she wonders if that was a direct order from the [Great Lord|ShaiTan] or [Shaidar Haran]. He orders her to stay away from [Rand|Rand alThor]. She offers to bring him [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]. She knows where his army is and she has planned a trap with her [Shadowspawn] army. He takes her to a storeroom filled with [One Power] objects including three [binder|Oath Rod]s, a [shocklance|Age of Legends Items], a %%ot [rema'kar|Age of Legends Items]%%[4] and a [dreamspike]. He has two.[5] He loans her the [dreamspike] and warns her against using it against him. He also loans her the man with two souls.[6] He tells her she will be greatly rewarded if she kills [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]. He then shows her a book of [Dark Prophecy] that says that [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] will die.[7] [Moridin] sends her back to her island; she can still touch the [True Power] a bit.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] A hint about the assassin. [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] are both wrong. The assassins are the remaining [Bloodknives|Seanchan (People)] from the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] attack.
\\[#2] Residual effect of [Rand|Rand alThor]'s visit.
\\[#3] By her description she is probably [Alteima]. 
\\[#4] No idea what a ''[rema'kar|Age of Legends Items]'' is good for
\\[#5] We learn what a [dreamspike] does in [ToM,Ch18] and we learn where [Moridin] has placed the second in [ToM,Ch56].
