Elayne has been shielded, bound tightly and gagged and stuffed in to a wagon box. She feels confident though since Min's viewing said her babes would be born safely and also she can sense Birgitte making plans. The Black Sisters begin channeling and Elayne is saddened by knowing men are dying trying to rescue her. Birgitte unties her bonds and she exits the wagon box to see what the situation is. Asne Zeramene is dead on the road. The other Black Sisters, Temaile Kinderode, Falion Bhoda, Chesmal Emry, Marillin Gemalphin along with Shiaine Avarhin and the Warders are all bound, with the Sisters shielded. Chesmal asks how they were found to which Elayne replies via her Warder. Marillin had heard Birgitte was Elayne's warder but did not inform the others.
