Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are walking downriver to the nearest port town when they're approached by a young Maiden of the Spear who introduces herself as Aviendha. Aviendha explains that a woman she has been traveling with is gravely injured, and asks if she could be healed. Bain and Chiad are there with Aviendha, and together they lead the three women to where the injured Maiden lays dying. Nynaeve manages to bring the Maiden back from the brink of death, and the Aiel women have some questions for the Wetlanders. They seek signs and portents, and three Aes Sedai walking through a war-torn country hunting darkfriends certainly seems like one.
