At the Jheda Palace, in Jehannah, the capital of Ghealdan, Logain's army is invading. Two soldiers are protecting the King of Ghealdan, who has been wounded in the shoulder. The two soldiers stop and confront Logain while the King continues onward. They throw spears at him, but Logain weaves a shield that stops the spears.
The King finally stops at a well on a parapet and Logain is not far away. The King says that Logain will never wear the crown, but Logain says he doesn't want it. The King is amazed that Logain believes that he is the Dragon Reborn and tells Logain that the Aes Sedai are coming for him. Logain says that the Aes Sedai should be following him instead. A female shadow voice tells Logain to kill the King, but he ignores her. The King tries to stab Logain, but Logain stops the dagger with a weave and proceeds to Heal the King's shoulder wound, even with shadow voices whispering that the King is not to be trusted. Logain tells the King that there's room for anyone on his side, even his enemies.
Nynaeve is on a ridge overlooking the Aes Sedai camp, watching the activity below. Inside a tent, Kerene is healing Moiraine. Moiraine is amazed that the healing has exhausted Kerene. Kerene explains that it's not the healing, but the effort to keep Logain shielded that is exhausting. Moiraine says that she want to meet Logain.
Kerene leads Moiraine to the cave where Logain is being kept. Kerene explains that only Alanna, Liandrin and herself are strong enough to keep Logain shielded and they have to work in pairs. Right now, Alanna and Liandrin have paired up. Logain is sitting in a cage with his eyes closed. Moiraine says she heard that Logain had conquered half of Ghealdan and had the King on his side. Liandrin explains that they captured him in his own camp while he slept and then scared his army away by weaving lightning. Kerene has set wards to give warnings if any of his followers approach. Liandrin says that he is mad, declared himself the Dragon Reborn and also tried to march on the White Tower. Kerene reminds the others that the Amyrlin Seat commanded that they bring him to the White Tower for trial. Kerene and Moiraine take over for Alanna and Liandrin. Moiraine grunts at the effort to keep Logain shielded. Liandrin tells Moiraine that that's half his power.
Lan and Stepin are practicing with their weapons. Lan asks about the White Tower. Stepin mentions that the Amyrlin Seat is still annoyed with Moiraine. Looking over at Nynaeve, Stepin questions Lan's choice in traveling companions. Lan corrects him, saying that she's barely company. Stepin sees Kerene approaching and walks over to talk with her.
Stepin and Kerene talk about her relationship with Moiraine. Kerene mentions how tight-lipped Moiraine can be and Stepin says the same thing can be said about Lan. The both chuckle over the thought of Moiraine and Lan's dinners together. Stepin mentions that Liandrin has been talking to the other Aes Sedai and the rumors of the Red Ajah gentling men across the countryside. Kerene is confident that Liandrin won't disobey the Amyrlin Seat's order of bringing Logain to the White Tower for a trial.
