! __Elayne__ POV

[Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] are relieved when [Egwene|Egwene alVere] finally wakes. They have been trying to wake her for minutes. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells them she found nothing in [Tanchico], but that she met a [Wise One|Aiel] named [Amys] who told her to go to [Cold Rocks] Hold. [Aviendha] tells them that [Cold Rocks] Hold is [Rhuarc]'s hold and that [Amys] is his wife. [Lian], [Rhuarc]'s other wife, is [Aviendha]'s sister-mother (maternal aunt). The idea of a man having two wives is disconcerting to the other three, so [Aviendha] attempts to explain some aspects of [Aiel] culture. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] wonders if [Min|Min Farshaw] had a [viewing|viewings] about [Rand|Rand alThor] and fervently hopes it did not include [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells them about [Amys] saying there was evil in [Tanchico] and that could mean the [Black Ajah]. They decide that [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] will go to [Tanchico] while [Egwene|Egwene alVere] goes to [Cold Rocks] Hold to learn [dreamwalking|TelAranRhiod]. She asks [Aviendha] to take her, but [Aviendha] is reluctant saying she wants to go to [Tanchico]. One of the other [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear], [Jolien], [Sefela], [Bain] or [Chiad] can take her. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] enters and tells them that [Joiya|Joiya Byir] and [Amico|Amico Nagoyin] are dead. Their throats were messily cut and their tongues nailed to the door. The guards heard nothing. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] does not think even a [Gray Man] could have done that.[1] The girls tell [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] their plans. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] tells them of the letter she just received from [Amys] of the [Nine Valleys] [Taardad], [Bair] of the [Haido] [Shaarad], [Melaine] of the [Jhirad] [Goshien] and [Seana] of the [Black Cliffs] [Nakai]. [Aviendha] says they are [Wise Ones|Aiel] and [dreamwalkers|TelAranRhiod]. The letter orders [Aviendha] to go to [Chaendaer] near [Rhuidean].[2] As the letter requests, [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] informed [Rhuarc] of the order as well. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] thinks [Rhuarc] reminds her of [Gareth Bryne] and even her mother, [Morgase|Morgase Trakand], cannot dissuade him when he makes up his mind. [Aviendha] angrily says she is %%ot [Far Dareis Mai|Maidens of the Spear]%% and leaves. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] tells [Egwene|Egwene alVere] she can go with [Aviendha] to meet [Amys] there. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] says she will consult with [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] about what they will need for the journey. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] tells [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] that there is an [Sea Folk] raker[3] docked at the [Maule|Tear (City)]. She tells them that [Rand|Rand alThor] will announce his plans in the morning.
