Sleep well and wake, Rand al'Thor.

When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while.

The Light willing, we will see one another again, Rand said. He held out his hand to Perrin. Watch out for Mat. I'm honestly not sure what he's going to do, but I have a feeling it will be highly dangerous for all involved. Not like us, Perrin said, clasping Rand's forearm. You and I, we're much better at keeping to the safe paths.

Thank you, the young mother said again. Thank you. The Black Tower protects, Logain heard himself say. Always. I will send him to you to be tested when he is of age, the woman promised, holding her son. I would have him join you, if he has the talent. The talent. Not the curse. The talent.

There were many good years. Good decades, good centuries. We believed we were living in paradise. Perhaps that was our downfall. We wanted our lives to be perfect, so we ignored imperfections. Problems were magnified through inattention and war might have become inevitable if the Bore hadn't ever made.
