You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy.

We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through.

On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.
