! __Egwene__ POV

[Egwene|Egwene alVere] enters %%ot [Tel'aran'rhiod|TelAranRhiod]%% and joins [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]. She is to stand guard in case [Mesaana] and the [Black Ajah] attack. She then goes to a meeting hall called the Musician's Way where [Amys], [Bair] and [Melaine] await. %%green [Leane|Leane Sharif]%%, %%gray [Yukiri]%% and %%white [Seaine|Seaine Herimon]%% are also there using dream %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% that [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] sent. She may have trouble joining them.[1] 

[Shielyn|Shielyn din Sabura Night Waters] din Sabura Night Waters, [Renaile|Renaile din Calon Blue Star] and two other [Windfinders|Sea Folk] arrive also using borrowed %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] has succeeded in making ones that work like the [twisted ring] without channeling but [Egwene|Egwene alVere] keeps those secret. [Renaile|Renaile din Calon Blue Star] seems subservient to the others.[2] At first the three groups are hostile to each other. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] takes control of the meeting and lays the platform that the three groups can benefit from each other. She argues the merits of each group training apprentices from the others. Finally, she argues that they must stand united at the [Last Battle|Creator] and against the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)]. With a tentative proposal on the table, the [Windfinders|Sea Folk] leave to discuss it. The [Wise Ones|Aiel] and [Aes Sedai] discuss the battle that may come. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] is disappointed that there is no word from [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Siuan|Siuan Sanche]. She tells them that they must accept and guide that changes that are coming. It is the end of an Age. They must deal with the [Asha'man] as well. A frazzled [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] arrives suddenly with news that the [Black Ajah] has attacked.
