Chapter 21 Summary: “Listen to the Wind”
Nynaeve wakes up alone at dawn and searches for the others. She finds Moiraine and Lan and overhears them talking about the young men from Emond’s Field. Because of the coins she gave them, the Aes Sedai senses that one of them is across the river, and that the other two were heading downriver when they lost the tokens.
Nynaeve is angry and berates Moiraine. At that point, the Aes Sedai reveals that the Wisdom can channel the Power herself. Nynaeve is in denial at first as she hates the Aes Sedai, but Moiraine accurately describes how the Wisdom experienced using the Power and its consequences.
Chapter 22 Summary: “A Path Chosen”
Perrin wakes up alone. He starts moving downriver, hoping that Egwene was also able to swim across. He comes across her and after some debate, the two decide to go to Caemlyn and wait there for the others.
