*Egwene*

As Egwene formed the weaves for Traveling, she looked around and the people accompanying her home. She wanted to know so much if her father was still Mayor of the Two Rivers, and how her friends families were. She was nervous, and was showing it, which was strange for any Aes Sedai, and CERTAINLY strange for the Amyrlin Seat! She searched the faces of the people that were coming with her, and she tried to see if they were feeling as bad as she was. Aviendha, Min and Elayne ahd similar expressions, they were to meet the people that their love Rand had grown up with. Rand however, was the picture of calm. Although his face held no emotion, as was normal for him, his hands were unconciously rubbing the branded herons on his palms. His Aes Sedai were looking at him, and Egwene guessed that they could feel him throught the Warder bond. Egwene knew how they felt, sharing the same sensations with her husband Gawyn. Now that she had bonded him as her Warder, she knew how much he loved her. She looked over at him, and he smiled nervously at her. Little did he know that she was with his child, and that Min had told her that her son would be the strongest Asha'man since Rand...the Dragon Reborn. She still had trouble thinking of him that way. Egwene was not only worried about how her family would react to her being Aes Sedai, let alone the runaway Aes Sedai's Amyrlin Seat. And being married to her Warder, who was Crown Prince of the Sword! She was terrified about how Tam al'Thor would react to his adopted son being the Dragon Reborn, prophecied to break the world yet again, and to fight the Dark One at Shayol Ghul. She then searched Mat's face for any emotion...he was obviously worried, and he was absently caressing the medallion around his neck. Elayne would love to get her hands on that medallion, and see what type of angreal it was, maybe a ter'angreal, or even a sa'angreal! but also, maybe it was neither...back to Mat. His new wife Tuon, said to be the Daughter of the Nine Moons, the Princess of the Seanchan, clung to him. her hair had grown back now, and was almost al long as Egwene's herself. But now, she must form the gateway, and see what it would bring. The circle of bright white opened, and they stepped through. She had wanted the Gateway to open in an empty paddock near Tam al'Thors farm, but looking around, it didn't look the same as she remembered. She could see buildings changed everywhere. She knew that the Two Rivers had changed from her visits to itel'aran'rhiod/i, but not this much. She didn't know how to react. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all...
