Summary[]
- Point of view: Egwene al'Vere
During a regular meeting in Tel'aran'rhiod Siuan Sanche asks Egwene to give up her plan to undermine Elaida from within the White Tower. Egwene only agrees to be rescued if she is scheduled for stilling and execution but until then, she forbids any attempt. Siuan then informs her that Gawyn Trakand has arrived in the rebel Aes Sedai camp. After the meeting Egwene visits the Rebel Aes Sedai camp for a while to avoid returning to sleep or worse to waking in her cramped cell.
On the next day after waking up Egwene is released from her cell by order from Elaida a'Roihan to resume her punishment as a Novice under the new Mistress of Novices Katerine Alruddin. On the way to the novice quarters and shielded by two red sisters, Saerin Asnobar interrupts and says she must speak with Egwene. She intimidates the sisters shielding Egwene and they fall back, allowing Saerin to speak with Egwene as they continue walking. She reports to Egwene that Silviana Brehon demanded Egwene's release in the Hall and was declared to be stilled and executed by Elaida, calling for Elaida's removal as Amyrlin. Egwene orders Saerin back to the Hall to do what she can to stop this. Egwene knows the Reds shielding her heard the exchange and asks why aren't they moving to help their Ajah. Then she sends a passing novice, Marsial, to fetch forkroot tea so the two red sisters do not have to maintain the shield but can help convincing their Red Ajah sisters that executing Silviana would collapse their own Ajah. After Egwene receives and drinks the tea she enters her room alone where Verin Mathwin is already waiting for her. Verin intentionally makes an obviously false comment, violating the first oath and immediately compelling Egwene's attention.
