← Previous Chapter Next Chapter → This chapter summary is hidden to protect from spoilers. Aviendha has passed through the glass columns in Rhuidean, though she is troubled that the columns are no longer effective as a test for potential leaders because they now show something that is common knowledge. She touches a glass column in the hope of using her Talent to determine the ter'angreal's function, but it overwhelms her and is too vast to understand. Afterward, when she turns and steps away from the column, she witnesses alternate lives again. This time, she sees visions of the Aiel in ruin, forced to scavenge for survival after being exiled to the Waste by the Seanchan and being forbidden from gathering in large groups or trading with outsiders. Aviendha, deeply ashamed and saddened, realizes that these are visions of the future, with each vision going back toward the present day. Aviendha takes another step. ← Previous Chapter Next Chapter →
