The Dragon Reborn/Chapter 18

==Summary==
:
Egwene notices that Sheriam is leading them in the lower levels of the tower where angreal are kept and the room where novices and Accepted are tested. Among the ten Aes Sedai there for the Healing includes the Amyrlin, Leane, Verin, Serafelle, Sheriam, Alanna, Anaiya and Brendas. Using Vora's sa'angreal and combining powers, the Amyrlin leads the circle as they attempt to Heal Mat, who lies on a table in the middle of the room. Egwene realizes how foolish it was for them to think they could heal Mat by themselves when ten Aes Sedai and this powerful sa'angreal are needed. Mat appears to be fighting against the breaking of bond to the Ruby-hilted dagger. Egwene is worried that they are killing him, but Nynaeve says they have no choice but to trust the Aes Sedai. Mat shouts words of the Old Tongue, and Egwene does not know what he says, except that it is a battle cry of Manetheren. Anaiya puts the dagger into a heavy box, and Mat collapses. The Amyrlin exhales and says it is over. Verin and Serafelle begin discussing the words he spoke in the Old Tongue. Brendas is asked to get Mat back to his rooms. The girls are led off to the kitchens to begin their punishment chores.
