Towers of Midnight/Chapter 12

==Summary==
:
Elmindreda Farshaw is sitting in the window of her room in Stone. Clouds above Tear are broken, after weeks, in a perfect circle. She can feel warmth coming through the bond. El'Nynaeve ti al'Meara Mandragoran is concerned where Rand is. Min states that Rand is fine. She felt Rand's pain, anger and despair through the bond, and then finally the radiation warmth. Nynaeve is worried with what Rand just about did to Tamlin al'Thor, and what he did at Natrin's Barrow. Min refuses to reveal where Rand is, saying he needs to be alone. She promises to find him if it takes too long. Sarene Nemdahl arrives at Min's quarters and requests that both Min and Nynaeve visit Cadsuane Melaidhrin as Alanna Mosvani has gone missing.
:
Corele Hovian tells everyone she felt no presence of Saidar being welded as they survey Alanna's room. It is assumed that Alanna has left Tear for some reason, having taken all her clothes and leaving a sheet of paper with red wax on it. Unfortunately the letter inside is missing and Cadsuane is concerned that Alanna can be used as a tool against Rand. Nynaeve tells everyone that Alanna should have been guarded, to which Cadsuane inwardly agrees. As Cadsuane drinks her tea, she notices that the tea doesn't taste bitter, but very tasty. Min gasps and turns stating Rand has arrived. Min's two Far Dareis Mai race off to tell the rest of the Aiel.
