The Great Hunt/Chapter 18

==Summary==
:
Egwene and Nynaeve are onboard the River Queen, going to Tar Valon. Nynaeve is seasick and sits in bed most of the time. From her dreaming, Egwene is worried that Rand is in danger. Egwene has been having dreams about a man in a mask hurting Rand.
The Amyrlin comes in their room to give them a lesson. Nynaeve makes to leave and says the lessons have been useless. The Amyrlin demonstrates the usefulness of the Power by wrapping Nynaeve and Egwene in Air. The Amyrlin mocks Nynaeve and eventually Nynaeve retaliates by flinging the Amyrlin against the wall. Having succeeded in making Nynaeve angry, the Amyrlin is satisfied. The Amyrlin was told that Nynaeve can channel at her best when her temper is high. The Amyrlin shields Nynaeve which dispels her weave, demonstrating how much more she has left to learn. They go through a difficult lesson and Nynaeve is infuriated afterwards, but Egwene is only excited at her own progress.
The ship docks at Tar Valon and the girls can see Dragonmount off to the west. This sight makes Egwene think of Rand. The people at the dock rush to greet the Amyrlin and the Aes Sedai seem to have forgotten about Nynaeve and Egwene. A dockman tells Nynaeve that her horse will be taken to the Tower, and they should get a move to get to the White Tower. Egwene marvels at the beauty of the city.
Sheriam meets Egwene and Nynaeve as they leave the ship, and says she is to show them to their rooms. Nynaeve says she is to be Accepted, skipping novice training, and the Mistress of Novices agrees even though it has never been done before. Nynaeve expresses her concern on how hard novice training will be for Egwene. Sheriam reassures her that they won't be too hard on a novice, but that the first few weeks as Accepted are very difficult.
