! __Rand__ POV

It is days after [Rand|Rand alThor] sent [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] away. Only [Nandera] sees him bringing his meals. Daily he looks at and is tempted by the [control statue|Control Statue] %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%. They are hidden behind a huge wardrobe and an inverted [Mirror of Mists|Weaves#mi].[1] [Lanfear] told him he could challenge the [Creator] with it. He got them from [Rhuidean] the night he sent the army toward [Illian|Illian (Country)].[2] He has nightmares - [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] and all the other women who died because of him, he fights with [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and kills him, back in the box with [Galina|Galina Casban], [Erian|Erian Boroleos] and [Katerine|Katerine Alruddin] beating him, [Alviarin|Alviarin Freidhen], [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan], [Egwene|Egwene alVere], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and all the [Aes Sedai] standing united against him, [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] telling him about voices. 

[Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] seems to be gone. The fight with [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] was staged, but [Rand|Rand alThor] got so angry he nearly did kill him. [Rand|Rand alThor] wakes on the fourth morning after sending [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] away. [Min|Min Farshaw] is waiting for him. She tells him there is a feast in four days at the half moon, the [Day of Repentance|Calendar]. She came because [Alanna|Alanna Mosvani] has been frantic. [Min|Min Farshaw] was a virgin before [Rand|Rand alThor]. She thinks the fight with [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] was fake, but does not know for sure. He wants to send her away like he sent [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Aviendha]; [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] was right about him being mad. He admits hearing [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon]'s voice.[3] She asks who [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] is. She says he needs her; she has only told him half what she has seen in his auras. Her name is [Min Farshaw].[4] If [Rhuarc], [Bael] and [Mandelain] can have two wives then she says she can deal with [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Aviendha]. [Rand|Rand alThor] has been avoiding the [Sea Folk] to try to leave them out of the coming battle. [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] left a letter for [Min|Min Farshaw] asking her to keep reminding [Rand|Rand alThor] about them. He promises to visit them today. He insists on the [viewings]. She admits there was only one:[5]

* "I saw you and another man. I couldn't make out either face, but I knew one was you. You touched, and seemed to merge into one another, and....one of you dies, and one doesn't."

[Rand|Rand alThor] thinks the other man is [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon],[6] which means he is not as mad as he feared. He issues orders to prepare to visit the [Sea Folk]. [Nandera], [Somara], [Enaila], [Malindare], [Domeille] come in and bathe him while [Min|Min Farshaw] watches.
