[Laras] has not been paying enough attention to the kitchen accounts. She is irritated that [Danelle] of the [Brown Ajah] has allowed Master [Jovarin], the mason, to hire way too many men to work on the library. She is mostly irritated that there has been no more news from [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] even though it has been weeks.[1] There is a report that [Sahra|Sahra Covenry] vanished along with the owner of the farm to which she was sent. Another report says that [Masema|Masema Dagar] is preaching in [Ghealdan]. [Mazrim Taim] is still on the loose. Two sisters disappeared in [Illian|Illian (Country)] and one in [Caemlyn].[2] The [Hall|Sitters] voted unanimously to acknowledge [Rand|Rand alThor] as the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor]. [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] and others agreed with [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] that the matter should be kept within the [Hall|Sitters]. She convinced them not to send a delegation to [Tear|Tear (Country)] by telling them there was already an [Aes Sedai] with him. The door slams open and over a dozen [Aes Sedai] enter led by [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan].[3] Many are [Red|Red Ajah], but they also include [Alviarin|Alviarin Freidhen], [Danelle], [Joline Maza] of the [Green Ajah] and [Shemerin] of the [Yellow Ajah].[4] Only the [Blue|Blue Ajah] is not represented. They shield and bind [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] and [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] accuses her of treason. As they lead her out, she sees [Leane|Leane Sharif] also bound and her [Warder|Warders], [Alric], dying.[5] [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] orders them to be taken below. ! __Min__ POV [Min|Min Farshaw] returns to the [White Tower] from shopping and hears fighting. [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] comes up leading a group of young men. He tells her to leave, [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] was deposed this morning and [Hammar] is leading an attempt to free her. The young men call themselves the [Younglings]. She hides in the trees to wait. ! __Siuan Sanche__ POV [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] wakes in a cell. She is naked and has been badly beaten and [stilled|stilling]. [Leane|Leane Sharif] is there also. She has been beaten and [stilled|stilling] as well. No one has been confined in these cells since [Bonwhin|Bonwhin Meraighdin]. They hear a key in the lock and stand up. ! __Min__ POV As [Min|Min Farshaw] goes back to her room she encounters [Laras]. She winds up telling her that she intends to rescue [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] and [Laras] agrees to help.[6] They go to the dungeon and free [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] and [Leane|Leane Sharif]. [Min|Min Farshaw] notes that they now look young instead of [ageless|Ageless] and they no longer have auras.[7] [Laras] goes back to the kitchen while the women dress. As they make their way through the [White Tower], [Min|Min Farshaw] tells them what happened. The extra workmen were actually soldiers who tried to take over the [White Tower]. There was a fierce battle between the supporters of [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] and [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan]. None of the [Blue Ajah] are left. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] asks about [Anaiya] and [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar], but [Min|Min Farshaw] does not know if they escaped. [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] is blaming [Mazrim Taim]'s escape on [Siuan|Siuan Sanche]. [Logain|Logain Ablar] escaped as well. They see a group of [Aes Sedai] and [Warders] pass by. [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan] and [Alviarin|Alviarin Freidhen] are wearing the [Amyrlin|Aes Sedai]'s and [Keeper|Aes Sedai]'s stoles respectively. They go outside and make their way to the stables where [Bela] and two other horses are saddled. [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] is waiting for them. Blood streaks his face exactly as in her [viewing|viewings]. He saw [Min|Min Farshaw] getting [Bela] saddled and knew something was up. [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] demands to know where [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] are. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche], who can now lie, tells him they are with an [Aes Sedai], [Mara Tomanes], in [Illian|Illian (Country)]. [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] is torn, but says he will let them escape just in case he needs more information from them. Several [Younglings] join them and [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] leads them to the [Alindrelle Gates|White Tower] and writes orders to let them leave the [White Tower] grounds. The guards have orders to let no one pass, but they are afraid of [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] because he killed [Hammar] and [Coulin]. Before they leave [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand], [Min|Min Farshaw] has another [viewing|viewings] of him: * [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] - [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] kneeling at [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s feet with his head bowed, and [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] breaking [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s neck, first one then the other, as if either could be the future. She had never seen that fluttering back and forth, as though not even the [viewing|viewings] could tell which would be the true future. Worse, she had a feeling near to certainty that it was what she had done this day that had turned [Gawyn|Gawyn Trakand] toward those two possibilities. They pass through the gate and head toward one of the bridges. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] has found that she can lie. She made up the story about [Mara Tomanes] who was a childhood friend of hers. On the way, they encounter [Logain|Logain Ablar] who agrees to join them. [Min|Min Farshaw] has the same [viewing|viewings] of him again: * [Logain|Logain Ablar] - that flaring halo of gold and blue shone about his head, speaking of glory to come. %% %%collapsebox-closed !
