! __Loial__ POV

[Loial] is too nervous to ask [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] or [Verin|Verin Mathwin] to accompany him. He cannot see the human ghosts and he has not yet seen any [Ogier] ghosts. [Verin|Verin Mathwin] seems to know a great deal about these recent effects. He goes upstairs to the [Ogier] quarters. He thinks it is strange that [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] knows his mother, [Covril daughter of Ella daughter of Soong|Covril].[1] She is waiting with Elder [Haman] and [Erith] in the sitting room. [Loial] thinks [Erith] is beautiful. [Covril] and [Haman] are angry that they had such a long journey to find him, [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] to [Stedding Tsofu] to [Caemlyn] to the [Two Rivers], back to [Caemlyn] then back to [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)]. Finally [Covril|covril] decided she must return to the Great Stump and they headed back to [Stedding Shangtai].[2] 

[Erith] notes that [Loial] was heroic in closing the [Manetheren] [Waygate|Ways] with [Gaul] at [Emond's Field|Emonds Field] and rescuing [Rand|Rand alThor] at [Dumai's Wells|Dumais Wells]. Elder [Haman] then marries [Loial] and [Erith] on the spot. They rub noses for a minute. [Covril] wants to leave immediately for [Stedding Shangtai] but Elder [Haman] insists on staying the night. The Great Stump is debating opening the [Book of Translation] which will take the [Ogier] to another world. [Loial] wishes he could address the Great Stump and argue that the [Ogier] should stay and fight the [Shadow|Creator] as they did in the [Trolloc Wars]. [Loial] looks out the windows and sees an army of [Trollocs] coming. He and Elder [Haman] pick up axes while [Erith] and [Covril] pick up long knives, then they go to warn [Rand|Rand alThor].\\

! __Rand__ POV

[Rand|Rand alThor] and [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] both detect [Shadowspawn]. [Logain|Logain Ablar], [Alivia] and [Min|Min Farshaw] are still there. They hear the [Ogier] shouting. At the window [Rand|Rand alThor] sees the army of [Trollocs] led by [Myrddraal|Fade]. [Bashere|Davram Bashere]'s [Saldaeans|Saldaea] are trapped in the outbuildings. [Rand|Rand alThor] seizes %%ot [saidin|Said]%% but when the dizziness hits him [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] takes control. He can see pins identifying [Ahf'frait|Trollocs], [Ko'bal|Trollocs], [Ghraem'lan|Trollocs], [Al'ghol|Trollocs], [Dhai'mon|Trollocs], [Dha'vol|Trollocs], [Ghar'ghael|Trollocs], [Dhjin'nen|Trollocs], [Bhan'sheen|Trollocs] and some he does not recognize of lesser bands of [Trollocs]. [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] howls that he cannot move his hands. He channels [Earth|One Power], [Air|One Power] and [Fire|One Power] in [Blossoms of Fire|Weaves#bf]. He weaves [Spirit|One Power] touched with [Fire|One Power] for a gateway but then adds touches of [Earth|One Power] for [Deathgates|Weaves#dg]. [Traveling|Weaves] kills [Shadowspawn]. [Rand|Rand alThor] raises his hands so he can see them and [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] weaves [Fire|One Power] and [Earth|One Power] for [Arrows of Fire|Weaves#af]. The [Trollocs] try to break into the outbuildings and some are on fire.

[Logain|Logain Ablar] quenches some of the fires. [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] is focused only on killing. Eventually all the [Trollocs] are dead. [Harilin], [Enaila] and [Min|Min Farshaw] are still ready to fight. [Logain|Logain Ablar] releases %%ot [saidin|Said]%% and asks why [Rand|Rand alThor] did not teach him the fancy weaves sooner. Is he playing favorites like [Taim|Mazrim Taim]? [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] will not release %%ot [saidin|Said]%%, moaning that he wants to join [Ilyena|Ilyena Therin Moerelle]. [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] remembers dying and starts to draw too much %%ot [saidin|Said]%%. [Logain|Logain Ablar] takes note and everyone is worried. [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] grills [Min|Min Farshaw] on how [Rand|Rand alThor] is feeling because she knows of their bond. [Rand|Rand alThor] warns [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] not to threaten [Min|Min Farshaw] again. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] that they can die together at [Tarmon Gai'don|Creator] and he reluctantly releases. [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] knows even before [Logain|Logain Ablar] tells her.[3]

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] That is strange. How could [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] know of [Covril|covril]?
\\[#2] There is no indication how they found [Loial]. It seems that Lord [Algarin|Algarin Pendaloan]'s manor is on the way from [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] to [Stedding Shangtai] and they happened on it by accident.
\\[#3] Because of one of her %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%, perhaps the [golden swallow|Paralis-net].
