The Gathering Storm: Chapter 25

In Darkness

Point of View: Egwene

Characters: Sheriam, Egwene, an unknown Forsaken, and [[Seaine

Location: The Rebel Camp.

Sheriam enters her tent and climbs into her cot and thinks of how she never wanted to live in these times. She senses a woman, very strong in the power, outside her tent. She opens her eye and finds a disguised Forsaken standing over her, that she realizes is not Halima(Aran'gar). The Forsaken tells Sheriam that Egwene need to be deposed, and proceeds to ask how they hold their meetings in Tel'Aran'Rhiod. Sheriam explain about the ter'angreal they have, and the Forsaken instructs her to steal the "sleepweavers."

Egwene is in her cell, after two days of imprisonment, ignoring her gaurds, while being visitted by Seaine, a member of the White Ajah. Seaine explains to her how the trial is going in her favor, but that some are listening to Elaida's claim the Egwene is a darkfriend. Egwene explains to her what must be done to heal the Tower and tells her that the Last Battle is coming.
