! __Rand__ POV

[Rand|Rand alThor] recalls that [Mazrim Taim], a [false Dragon|False Dragons] who could [channel|True Source], raised an army and ravaged [Saldaea]. He was taken but escaped on the way to [Tar Valon]. [Queen Tenobia|Tenobia si Bashere Kazadi] sent [Bashere|Davram Bashere] to pursue the man. The [Andoran|Andor] nobles gasp and panic. [Arymilla|Arymilla Marne] collapses, [Karind|Karind Anshar] licks her lips nervously, and [Elegar] retches. [Rand|Rand alThor] reminds [Bashere|Davram Bashere] and [Tumad] of the amnesty. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] states the amnesty holds if [Taim|Mazrim Taim] remains outside [Saldaea]. [Rand|Rand alThor] carries the [little fat man] %%ot [angreal|Angreal]%%. [Lir|Lir Baryn] and [Naean|Naean Arawn] say they will stay, but [Rand|Rand alThor] commands them to leave. [Tumad] and four guards with swords drawn lead in [Taim|Mazrim Taim]. He does not seem to be affected by the heat.[1] [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] rises in a frenzy in [Rand|Rand alThor]'s head, shouting about [Sammael] and [Demandred].[1] [Bashere|Davram Bashere] seems to doubt that the man is [Taim|Mazrim Taim].[1] [Taim|Mazrim Taim] taunts [Bashere|Davram Bashere] about events in [Saldaea] at [Irinjavar], which include something happening to [Musar] and [Hachari] and their wives. 

[Rand|Rand alThor] tells [Taim|Mazrim Taim] the vision in the sky was not the [Dark One|ShaiTan] but [Ba'alzamon|Ishamael], or [Ishamael]. [Rand|Rand alThor] says the [Forsaken] must die. [Semirhage] tortured an entire city. [Graendal] murdered children. [Demandred] captured two cities and fed them to [Trollocs]. [Mesaana] set up schools to teach the glory of the [Dark One|ShaiTan]. [Rand|Rand alThor] says [Taim|Mazrim Taim]'s crimes are relatively small. He is pardoned if he will submit and help fight [Tarmon Gai'don|Creator]. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] relaxes and his men put up their swords. [Taim|Mazrim Taim] suggests a compact instead. The [Saldaeans|Saldaea] the [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] including [Jalani] tense. [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] raves, "Kill him!" When [Rand|Rand alThor] angrily refuses a compact, [Taim|Mazrim Taim] slips to a knee and submits to the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor]. [Rand|Rand alThor] reminds [Taim|Mazrim Taim] of what happens to [false Dragon|False Dragons]s. [Logain|Logain Ablar] [gentled|stilling] in the [White Tower]. One beheaded in [Haddon Mirk] by the [Tairens|Tear (Country)]. One burned alive by the [Murandians|Murandy] as was [Gorin Rogad] by the [Illianers|Illian (Country)] four years ago. [Rand|Rand alThor] asks if [Taim|Mazrim Taim] can teach men to [channel|True Source] or test a man to know if he can be taught. [Taim|Mazrim Taim] says he can do both. Over the years he found five who could learn. He taught one, but the man went mad after two years. [Taim|Mazrim Taim] presents a [seal|Seals] on the [Dark One|ShaiTan]'s prison. [Rand|Rand alThor] has two more hidden.[2] As [Rand|Rand alThor] holds the [seal|Seals] [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] says to break it. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] stops [Rand|Rand alThor] from smashing it. [Sulin] and [Jalani] move toward him.[3] [Taim|Mazrim Taim] says he found the [seal|Seals] at a decaying little farm in [Saldaea]. [Rand|Rand alThor] hands the [seal|Seals] to [Bashere|Davram Bashere] and asks if madness concerns him. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] replies that [Muad Cheade], the last Marshal-General, was mad but he never lost a battle. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells [Bashere|Davram Bashere] he is taking [Taim|Mazrim Taim] to the farm.[4] [Rand|Rand alThor] wears his sword, his buckle from [Aviendha] and grabs his short spear, the [Dragon Scepter]. [Rand|Rand alThor] does not like [Taim|Mazrim Taim].
