Egwene prepares for bed after a day's travelling. She reads a book Aviendha gave her about Birgitte, Gaidal Cain and other Heroes of the Horn. She falls asleep and enters tel'aran'rhiod early for the meeting with Nynaeve. She hears voices a bit away from her so she embraces the source and creeps closer. She sees Elayne talking with an oddly dressed woman, who looks exactly like the Birgitte she was reading about. Before she can speak, Amys and Bair arrive early also and reprimand her for coming early or for not leaving when she found she was alone.
