- Point of view: Faile Bashere
Perrin Aybara, Faile Bashere and their procession arrive in Caemlyn via gateway to meet with Queen of Andor, Elayne Trakand. Galadedrid Damodred declines meeting with Elayne, having previously caught up with her. Perrin and his army make their way to the palace. Grady had tried to make a gateway to the Black Tower earlier and was unable to, Perrin was disturbed by this and decided he would look into the matter no later than the next day. Once they reach Elayne, she proclaims her gratitude for returning her mother and declares a day of celebration for her safe return. Elayne asks "Lady Bashere" and "Master Aybara" to request a boon in return for their gift to Andor. Faile asks to discuss this boon in private setting with her. They discuss the issue of the Two Rivers and Perrin raising the flag of Manetheren. Elayne says her requests for envoys to the area have been refused and the citizens of the Two Rivers have also refused the taxes laid on them by Andor. Perrin exclaims they have been ignored for generations and Elayne cannot just expect the Two Rivers folk to accept her rule. With Morgase and Faile's intervention, Perrin and Elayne are eventually able to come to an agreement over his title as High Lord of the Two Rivers. They end by discussing Rand and the fact he wants to destroy the Seals in order to destroy the Dark One. Elayne asks for Perrin's help in preventing this and he agrees to speak with Rand.

Tuon's der'sul'dam, Melitene, makes Suffa perform the weave for Traveling.

After Melitene causes Suffa pain through the a'dam, she speaks with her and the gateway is created. Tuon then proclaims that all marath'damane must be leashed, as they are key to holding lands on both sides of ocean and the Last Battle. She also says "The Dragon Reborn will serve the Crystal Throne". She wants every damane to be recalled to city and train them in Traveling. She plans to attack White Tower with all their might.
