Summary[]
- Point of view: Siuan Sanche
The Amyrlin, Siuan Sanche, paces in her study, waiting for Verin to arrive and pondering contingencies she has prepared for various events that might happen. Leane, Keeper of the Chronicles, comes into the room to announce Verin's arrival. To Leane's surprise, Siuan dismisses her to speak to Verin alone. Verin tells Siuan that Rand has proclaimed himself the Dragon Reborn. Siuan is pleased yet extremely anxious; she must assist the Dragon with Moiraine and Verin yet maintain the utmost secrecy. There are no more false Dragons, Siuan says. There was a vision in the sky over the battlefields where both were winning and both were unhorsed and knocked unconscious. Mazrim Taim was captured and the other false Dragon was executed. Those events must have happened when Rand proclaimed himself and the Pattern decided it had no more need of false Dragons.
Verin takes the Horn of Valere out of a leather sack. Siuan is surprised to see it here. It was supposed to be with Rand but it was Mat that blew the Horn. Siuan asks whether Moiraine has changed the plan again but she is not to blame. Mat is sick and needs to be Healed and there is silent consideration on whether to Heal him in time, since he is now linked to the Horn and can be the only one to summon the Heroes of the Horn while he lives. The Amyrlin says they can hide the Horn for now. Verin says they need to deal with the Seanchan who use the Power as a weapon, confirming reports and rumors that Siuan has received. Siuan decides that since the Seanchan were chased away from Falme, there are more important issues to deal with. They continue and Siuan tells Verin to give details on what Nynaeve, Egwene and Elayne have been doing.
