! __Rand__ POV

The next morning after [TGH,Ch11], [Rand|Rand alThor] wakes. [Loial] and [Hurin] are beside him, but the rest are gone. The world looks washed-out. The [Portal Stone] is now three spans high, a pace thick and covered with markings. Around the [Portal Stone], seven steps colored like the [Ajahs|Aes Sedai] rise to ground level. The surrounding area looks burned. He wakes [Loial] and [Hurin]. [Loial] now identifies the column as a [Portal Stone], but he never heard of anyone finding one before.[1] He says [Aes Sedai] in the [Age of Legends] used them to travel to different worlds. [Hurin] begs [Rand|Rand alThor] to get them back. His wife, [Melia], would never recover if he just disappeared. [Rand|Rand alThor] tries to [channel|True Source] at the [Portal Stone], but the void shatters like glass. [Hurin] says he can still smell the [Trolloc|Trollocs] trail. It is faint, but he can follow it. [Rand|Rand alThor] recalls [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] saying they were three or four days from [Hawkwing|Artur Hawkwing]'s monument and wonders if it exists in this world.[2] They ride south.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] With [Loial] being such a scholar this seems odd. There is a [Portal Stone] just outside [Stedding Tsofu]. %%brown [Verin|Verin Mathwin]%% knows of some. ([TGH,Ch36]) With a little research [Rand|Rand alThor] finds four in [Tear|Tear (Country)]. ([TSR,Ch22])\\
[#2] The monument exists, but it marks quite a different victory. ([TGH,Ch16])\\
