Nynaeve calls out to Birgitte in Tel'aran'rhiod, who gave her word to monitor the Forsaken in the Dream. At this point Nynaeve's interactions with the Hero of the Horn are still kept secret at Birgitte's request. When Egwene arrives for they're meeting, she tells Nynaeve that Rand's Aiel followers are hunting Couladin and his Shaido, and will soon arrive at Jangai, threatening a violent invasion of Cairhien. Melaine warns Nynaeve again about the dangers of Tel'aran'rhiod, and asks her to come study the dream with the Wise Ones. When she refuses, Melaine tells her that, “Aain'alein will die on the day he learns you are dead.”
