The girls do a lot of talkin’!

Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne pore over their Black Ajah documents and ask questions!

Egwene thinks of the dreams she’s had lately; Seanchan, Whitecloaks tying up her father’s hands, Rand walking into a big scary, fiery mountain, Perrin with a falcon, Perrin with a hawk, Perrin with a wolf army, Mat hanged on a tree She wonders if these mean anything (they will, guaranteed, but I’ll forget about this immediately after I write it), and remembers learning that a Dreamer’s dreams about ta’veren are usually some true shit. She shudders.

Nynaeve paces up and down the room, wondering if they were given garbage leads on purpose by the sneaky, sneaky Verin. Elayne decides that the thirteen members of the Black Ajah are too diverse to not be deliberate. Nynaeve finds some importance to this as well. It is surmised that there must still be some Black Ajah in the tower. Egwene argues, and after about two pages of “yes it is” and “no it ain’t”, they move onto the list of ter’angreal.

Notable about the ter’angreal, besides that they seem to be a litany of underwhelming objects, is that almost all of them have been last studied by Corianin Nedeal. The same Corianin Nedeal that had Egwene’s new ter’angreal ring in her possession for most of her life. The only item on the list not studied by her is a black rod that produces balefire, which is apparently so dangerous that Verin scribbled “DANGEROUS” in the notes! That’s pretty dangerous! Also, an object shaped like dice that Mat would like; it alters luck and chance. A thousand flips of the coin and it’ll land on heads a thousand times, it will!

After a bit of time, they find Else standing in the doorway spying a little bit. She has a message from Siuan: Liandrin’s abandoned belongings are in the third room behind the fifth room to the left of the eight room on the right next to the kitchens in the attic under the basement. She leaves, and Egwene gives chase. She doesn’t run into Else in the stairway, oh no no no. It’s fucking Selene again, being cryptic and weird about prophecies. All she has to say is that Else is fast and Egwene won’t catch her. Egwene assumes Selene is Aes Sedai again, and, in true Selene fashion, she betrays a look of extreme annoyance.

Selene commands Egwene to turn around and leave, and Egwene is compelled to do so. When she turns around, Selene had vanished without a trace.
