! __Min__ POV

They are back in the [Sun Palace]. Watching [Rand|Rand alThor], auras come and go, mostly flickering too quickly to see. She lied about her [viewings]; there was a second. He will almost certainly fail without a woman who is dead and gone.[1] [Rand|Rand alThor] is hunting for a coat in his cabinet.[2] To sneak out, he gates them seven or eight miles south of [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)]. [Min|Min Farshaw] says [Nandera] will not like this. [Rand|Rand alThor] says she will not know, he does this all the time. A woman rides up, Lady [Caraline Damodred]. She looks like [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred]. [Min|Min Farshaw] thinks [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] is the only [viewing|viewings] of hers that ever failed.[1] [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] recognizes [Rand|Rand alThor]. He acknowledges who he is and says that he will put [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] on the throne in both [Caemlyn] and [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)]. She is unhappy about his %%ot [ta'veren|Wheel of Time]%% effect on [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)], but [Min|Min Farshaw] expounds on the balance of positive and negative from her reading of [Herid Fel]'s books. High Lord [Darlin Sisnera] and about twenty others arrive. [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] covers for them saying they are [Tomas Trakand|Rand] and [Jaisi Trakand|Min Farshaw]. [Min|Min Farshaw] is annoyed as she knew a [Jaisi] who was a dusty old prune. [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] recently arrived from [Haddon Mirk]. He came because [Aes Sedai] told him [Rand|Rand alThor] would be going to the [White Tower]! They meant to put [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] on the [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] throne before [Colavaere|Colavaere Saighan] could take it. Now he will not leave because he has asked [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] to marry him. [Min|Min Farshaw] has a [viewing|viewings]:

* "She knew that they will marry—after [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] had led him a merry chase. More, to her eyes a crown suddenly appeared on [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera]'s head, a simple golden circlet with a slightly curved sword on its side above his brows. The king's crown he would wear some day, though of what country, she could not say."

Lord [Toram Riatin] is in the camp. [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] has [Rovair] and [Ines] give them horses to ride. They all ride back to the camp where thousands have gathered. There are several [Aes Sedai] there, a [Green|Green Ajah], a [Yellow|Yellow Ajah] and a [Gray|Gray Ajah] together[3] and at least one [Red|Red Ajah]. There are several of [Gaebril|Rahvin]'s [White Lions|Caemlyn]. [Min|Min Farshaw] [views|viewings] an aura around one of them:

* "bruised hues so dark they seemed nearly black. He will murder anyone he thinks is in his way; he'll kill for a whim, kill anybody."

[Min|Min Farshaw] tells [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] not to trust him; he will kill on a whim. He is [Daved Hanlon]. [Toram Riatin] hired them. [Toram Riatin] is with [Padan Fain]! [Min|Min Farshaw] sees no aura around him,[4] but he looks vaguely familiar. He is introduced as Master [Jeraal Mordeth|Padan Fain]. [Toram Riatin] really hates the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor] now.[5] He has been trying to talk [Darlin|Darlin Sisnera] and [Caraline|Caraline Damodred] into a sneak attack to kill [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Rand|Rand alThor] is about ready to go after [Fain|Padan Fain], but [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] walks up. She tells [Rand|Rand alThor] he ought to leave, then walks away. [Toram Riatin] walks up. He says he plans to marry [Caraline|Caraline Damodred]. [Fain|Padan Fain] has vanished. [Toram Riatin] challenges [Rand|Rand alThor] to practice swords and [Rand|Rand alThor] agrees.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] No [viewings] of [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] are ever revealed, but that she is probably alive and waiting for [Thom|Thom Merrilin] and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] to rescue her from the [Tower of Ghenjei]. ([KoD,Ch10])
\\[#2] Still looking for the missing [little fat man] %%ot [angreal|Angreal]%%?
\\[#3] Early printings list the [Ajahs|Aes Sedai] as [Green|Green Ajah], [Brown|Brown Ajah] and [Gray|Gray Ajah]. The [Brown|Brown Ajah] is being corrected to [Yellow|Yellow Ajah] for [Samitsu|Samitsu Tamagowa].
\\[#4] Very strange, since all people who play a role in the [Pattern|Wheel of Time] show auras.
\\[#5] More contamination by [Fain|Padan Fain].
