He asks her if his clerks have returned from [Tear|Tear (City)] and when she responds that they have, he tells her to send word to the other rulers that he'll meet them in one hour. She then leaves to relay his command. There are still three other [Maidens] guarding his tent. He turns around to find [Aviendha] standing naked in the tent. He takes the nearby barrel of water and turns it into a warm, soapy shower for them both and then rinses them both off. She tells him that she will ask a boon of him today.\\ %%follow [Follow Rand|AMoL,Ch9]%%\\ \\ More [Rand POV] ! __Egwene__ POV %%amyrlin [Egwene]%% is walking around a pillar of glass in her dream, but cannot interpret what it means.[1] When she wakes, she realizes that she went to sleep in the small sleeping chamber in her study in the [White Tower]. She later finds [Gawyn] at %%red [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]'s%% desk looking at a report about the latest new on [Caemlyn]. She then asks [Gawyn] about [Leilwin|Egeanin] and [Domon]. He says that he has them under guard and that [Nynaeve] vouches for them. [Caemlyn] is lost, and held the food supply for the [Andoran|Andor] army. She writes a note for [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] telling her to send [sisters|Aes Sedai] capable of helping to [Caemlyn] to help with the refugees. [Gawyn] then tells her about the note at the bottom of the report, which says that [Rand] wants to meet all the rulers in a half-hour. [Egwene] makes a [gateway|Weaves] back to her tent in the [Field of Merrilor], steps outside and finds [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] waiting. She gives the note to [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]. She continues on until a groom brings her horse, [Sifter]. She then states that only [Sitters] can attend the meeting with her. \\ \\ All of the armies are gathering, including the [Aiel] and the [Sea Folk]. [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] and [Gregorin|Gregorin Panar den Lushenos] come forward to greet [Egwene]. She tells them that [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] has some words for each of them. [Roedran|Roedran Analoy] approaches, but not too close. [Egwene] mentions that his rule is consolidating, which he acknowledges. She then tells him "You're welcome." \\ \\ [Egwene] sees [Rand] crossing the field with a large bundle floating next to him. The grass is turning green as he walks on it. She asks [Gawyn] to go find out how he's doing that. As [Rand] is crossing the field, the bundle comes apart and becomes a massive pavilion staked to the ground. When it's complete, [Rand] tells the leaders that they can each bring five. [Egwene] brings %%red [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]%%, %%brown [Saerin|Saerin Asnobar]%%, %%yellow [Romanda|Romanda Cassin]%%, %%blue [Lelaine|Lelaine Akashi]%% and [Gawyn]. The other leaders allow [Egwene] and her party to enter first. King [Easar|Easar Togita] from [Shienar] leads the [Borderlanders|Borderlands] in. King [Alsalam|Alsalam Saeed Almadar] leads the [Domani|Arad Doman] group, which surprises [Egwene] and [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]. [Elayne] enters for [Andor]. %%green [Cadsuane]%% enters as part of [Rand]'s group, as do [Min], [Perrin], [Faile] and [Nynaeve]. When King [Roedran|Roedran Analoy] of [Murandy] enters, several [Asha'man] ([Narishma|Jahar Narishma], [Flinn|Damer Flinn], [Naeff]) move behind him. [Rand] approaches King [Roedran|Roedran Analoy] as if he's expecting something, but then says "You're not him, are you?...Where ''are'' you?"[2] [Gregorin|Gregorin Panar den Lushenos] brought some [Illainer|Illian (Country)] noblemen. King [Paitar|Paitar Neramovni Nachiman] was there from [Arafel], King [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] from [Tear|Tear (Country)], Queen [Tenobia|Tenobia si Bashere Kazadi] from [Saldaea], Queen [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] from [Ghealdan] and [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] from [Mayene]. \\ \\ [Rand] explains the dire situation that they're all in and says that it's time to plan. That they need to present a unified attack this time. That they need to plan for post-Battle and not have countries start attacking each other postwar. He then presents a document he calls the "[Dragon's Peace]", one of three things that he requires, which sets country boundaries, rules for engagement, plans for education, among other things. This causes an uproar among the leaders. The second thing he requires is the [seals]. He wants to break them. [Egwene] objects, that it's her job as [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] to handle them. The other leaders ignore that conversation and focus on the [Dragon's Peace] while [Egwene] and [Rand] continue to talk about the seals. [Rand] says that he plans to kill the [Dark One|ShaiTan]. [Egwene] calls him insane, which he agrees is part of the price he's paid for being the Dragon Reborn. [Egwene] hears a faint crackling sound outside and the sunlight dims.[3] The conversation returns to the document and then [Roedran|Roedran Analoy] says that he wants to know what the third requirement is. [Rand] says that he wants total control of all of the armies. This starts new arguments, with [Egwene] and [Rand] yelling at each other. \\ \\ Then %%blue [Moiraine]%% enters the tent.\\ %%follow [Follow Egwene|AMoL,Ch9]%% \\ \\ More [Egwene POV] %% %%collapsebox-closed !
