! __Egwene__ POV

In a meeting in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%%, [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] tries to convince [Egwene|Egwene alVere] that [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] will never let her go. They are meeting every night now. This time they are meeting in [Naorman Mashinta]'s cobbler shop in [Tar Valon]. They debate whether [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] could have her executed. After [Egwene|Egwene alVere] ends the discussion, [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] tells her that [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] is in the camp. He keeps meeting with [Lelaine|Lelaine Akashi] and [Romanda|Romanda Cassin]. Their meeting last night was cut short by another bubble of evil where tents came alive and strangled three people. [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s cell is tiny. She thinks [Rand|Rand alThor] must have felt even worse when [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] had him in the box. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] thinks [Egwene|Egwene alVere] may be the best [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai] since [Artur Hawkwing]'s reign.

After [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] leaves, [Egwene|Egwene alVere] visits the rebel camp surrounded by [Bryne|Gareth Bryne]'s army. She wonders if the rebels will fragment the same as the [White Tower] sisters. She wonders if there will ever be reconciliation if there will be two [White Tower]s. She lets herself use [Need|TelAranRhiod].

She finds herself in a clearing in a forest of white aspen. There is a small group of [Tinkers]' wagons and an actual fire which is odd for %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%%. She wonders what place there will be for [Tinkers] and the [Way of the Leaf|Tinkers] in the [Last Battle|Creator]. She wonders what became of [Aram],[1] [Raen] and [Ila]. She wonders why [Need|TelAranRhiod] brought her here.[2] Is she too focused? Life should be about living, as the [Tinkers] treat it. She thinks about [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] in the rebel camp and the she intends to bond him as her [Warder|Warders] and marry him. She lets the world shift again.

She stands in front of the [White Tower], its shadow cast upon her.

She wakes to renewed pain. She is still wearing the same bloody dress. The [Red|Red Ajah] sisters who guard her cell now administer her beatings instead of [Silviana|Silviana Brehon]. At noon, her guards, [Barasine] and another [Red|Red Ajah] she does not know, bring her out of her cell for a beating. [Katerine|Katerine Alruddin] arrives with news that [Egwene|Egwene alVere] is to be freed and returned to the [novice|novices] quarters. [Katerine|Katerine Alruddin] is the new [Mistress of Novices|Aes Sedai]. On their way, they run into [Saerin|Saerin Asnobar]. [Saerin|Saerin Asnobar] tells [Egwene|Egwene alVere] that [Silviana|Silviana Brehon] confronted [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] and the [Hall|Sitters] demanding [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s release. [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] ordered her imprisoned. The two [Reds|Red Ajah] look concerned. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells them they should go check on what is happening to their [Ajah|Aes Sedai]. She asks a passing [novice], [Marsial], to bring [forkroot|Herbs] so the [Reds|Red Ajah] can leave. [Barasine] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] proceed to her room and [Marsial] returns with the [forkroot|Herbs]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] downs it then [Barasine] hurries away. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] enters her room and finds [Verin|Verin Mathwin] waiting for her! [Egwene|Egwene alVere] begins changing into a clean dress to get to work but [Verin|Verin Mathwin] shocks her by lying about the color! She tells [Egwene|Egwene alVere] to sit down as they have a lot to talk about.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] We have not seen [Raen] and [Ila] since the [Two Rivers] in [The Shadow Rising] but we know about the sad ending of [Aram]. ([KoD,Ch29])
\\[#2] Good question. Why did [Need|TelAranRhiod] bring [Egwene|Egwene alVere] to a [Tinker|Tinkers] camp? And where is this camp? What is going on with the fire? Fires are usually too transient to appear in %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%%.
