! __Rand__ POV

That night [Rand|Rand alThor] dreams of the [Age of Legends], strange flying things and ground vehicles,[1] and [Ilyena|Ilyena Therin Moerelle]. It is the first time he has shared [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon]'s dreams. [Aviendha] spends the night in the [Wise Ones|Aiel] tents. The next morning a crowd is waiting outside his apartments. [Sulin] and [Urien|urien] lead the [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] and [Red Shields]. [Aviendha] is there with several [Wise Ones|Aiel], [Amys], [Bair], [Melaine], [Sorilea], [Chaelin] of the [Smoke Water] [Miagoma] and [Edarra] of the [Neder] [Shiande]. [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] is there, but none of the clan chiefs. He already met with the clan chiefs. There are lots of [Cairhienin|Cairhien (Country)] including [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan], [Dobraine|Dobraine Taborwin], [Maringil], [Selande|Selande Darengil] and lots of [Tairens|Tear (Country)] including [Meilan|Meilan Mendiana], [Fionnda Annariz], [Anaiyella|Anaiyella Narencelona], [Maraconn], [Gueyam], [Aracome]. [Selande|Selande Darengil] is one of the young nobles who imitate [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear]. The [Aiel] treat [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] almost like a [Wise One|Aiel].[2] [Rand|Rand alThor] tells the crowd that he is returning to [Caemlyn] immediately. [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] reports that [Mangin|mangin] will be hanged this morning. As he leaves [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] asks him to convey warmest wishes to [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]. [Rand|Rand alThor] opens a gateway and steps through accompanied by [Sulin] and the [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear], [Urien|urien] and the [Red Shields] and [Aviendha]. [Melaine] comes too, saying the [Wise Ones|Aiel] are sending her to consult with [Bael]. Back in [Caemlyn] [Rand|Rand alThor] immediately feels [Alanna|Alanna Mosvani]. [Sulin] is angry with [Rand|Rand alThor] going first. She tells him [Enaila] and [Somara] may be right wanting to hover over him. He tells her he only wants two guards now, then he says that is only for inside the palace. [Rand|Rand alThor] walks to his rooms accompanied by [Aviendha], [Liah], [Jalani], [Cassin] and another [Red Shield|Red Shields]. [Rand|Rand alThor] sends [Jalani] and the other [Red Shield|Red Shields] back to the throne room. In his rooms, [Rand|Rand alThor] asks [Aviendha] if the [Wise Ones|Aiel] told her where [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] is. [Aviendha] asked, but they do not know either. The [Wise Ones|Aiel] did talk about [Rand|Rand alThor], however. [Aviendha] tells [Rand|Rand alThor] about the [Wise Ones|Aiel]' [dreams|TelAranRhiod]:

* "[Melaine] and [Bair] dreamed of you [Rand|Rand alThor] on a boat with three women whose faces they could not see, and a scale tilting first one way then the other.
* [Melaine] and [Amys] dreamed of a man standing by your side with a dagger to your throat, but you did not see him.
* [Bair] and [Amys] dreamed of you cutting the wetlands in two with a sword.
* All three had this dream, which makes it especially significant. Rain, coming from a bowl. There are snares and pitfalls around the bowl. If the right hands pick it up, they will find a treasure perhaps as great as the bowl. If the wrong hands, the world is doomed. The key to finding the bowl is to find the one who is no longer."

[Rand|Rand alThor] thinks the second dream means a [Gray Man] and the third means the general anarchy he has caused in the [Westlands|Geography]. [Rand|Rand alThor] asks her if she wants to go back to study with the [Wise Ones|Aiel] but [Aviendha] says she still has %%ot [toh|Aiel]%%. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells her she has no %%ot [toh|Aiel]%% to him because [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] saved her from [Lanfear], not him. [Aviendha] thanks him for reminding her that he does not know everything then she leaves. [Rand|Rand alThor] thinks [Cairhienin|Cairhien (Country)] playing the Game of Houses are easier to understand than women. [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] laughs at him and [Rand|Rand alThor] tells him to shut up.

[Aviendha] still thinks [Rand|Rand alThor] saved her from [Lanfear], but her %%ot [toh|Aiel]%% to him for saving her life is nothing compared to her %%ot [toh|Aiel]%% to [Elayne|Elayne Trakand].[3] [Aviendha] does not know [Liah], but [Liah] jibes her about [Rand|Rand alThor] as she leaves. There is no way she can meet one %%ot [toh|Aiel]%% without blocking the other but she has to find a way. A servant runs up as she walks down the hall.[4]
