! __Rand__ POV

[Rand|Rand alThor] and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] return to [Chaendaer] where they are met by the [Bair]. [Couladin] claims [Rand|Rand alThor] murdered [Muradin] and attacks him. Before any damage is done, [Bair] stops them and has [Rand|Rand alThor] show the signs. [Couladin] and the [Shaido] stand on one side. [Rhuarc], [Heirn] and the [Jindo] stand on another. [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] stands in between. [Egwene|Egwene alVere], [Amys], [Melaine] and [Seana] come out of the tents. They all see that [Rand|Rand alThor] has dragons on both arms. [Bair] announces that a %%ot [Car'a'carn|Compleat]%%, "chief of chiefs" in the [Old Tongue], has been chosen. [Couladin] looks enraged, but the rest of the [Aiel] look resigned. All the [Aiel] but [Rhuarc] go back to their tents. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] tells them that [Aviendha] and [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] also went to [Rhuidean] and that they have been gone seven days. [Rand|Rand alThor] asks [Amys] and [Melaine] to [Heal|Weaves] [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] who is in real pain, but they say they have no Talent for [Healing|Weaves]. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] explains that few can [Heal|Weaves] well. The best [Healers|Weaves] are [Yellow Ajah]. [Sheriam|Sheriam Bayanar] can barely [Heal|Weaves] a bruise. [Seana] directs everyone to the tents where they will make up ointments. [Amys] and [Melaine] had to hold down [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] half the night to keep him from going after [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred]. 

[Rand|Rand alThor] asks [Rhuarc] about his visions but the [Wise Ones|Aiel] say it is forbidden. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells them he is changing the rules and asks again. [Rhuarc] tells him that different men see roughly the same things but through different eyes. He explains that the sharing of water was the [Cairhienin|Cairhien (Country)] which eventually led to [Laman Damodred] cutting down %%ot [Avendoraldera]%% and the [Aiel War]. 

Back in the tents, the [Wise Ones|Aiel] tend to [Rand|Rand alThor]'s and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]'s wounds. [Rhuarc] recommends that they all go to [Cold Rocks] Hold, then to [Alcair Dal], a place used for meetings of the clan chiefs. The [Wise Ones|Aiel] agree to visit all the clan chiefs and other [Wise Ones|Aiel] in their dreams to have them come to [Alcair Dal] with all speed.

[Rand|Rand alThor] asks [Amys] about his mother and [Amys] tells him the story. [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] found her in the [Aiel Waste] and followed her till she was near death. She called herself [Shaiel|Tigraine Mantear] and said she was sent by an [Aes Sedai] named [Gitara Moroso]. She was bitter that she left her husband and son behind. They trained her as a [Maiden|Maidens of the Spear] and she was adopted by the [Chumai] sept of the [Taardad]. During the [Aiel War] she became pregnant by the clan chief, [Janduin]. He was a very charismatic leader.[1] When she was lost, he resigned as clan chief and went to the [Blight] where he was killed by a man. [Janduin] refused to defend himself because the man looked like [Shaiel|Tigraine Mantear].[2] [Rand|Rand alThor] is stunned that he has a half-brother.[3] 

As the day progresses, [Rand|Rand alThor] asks [Bair] why they do not kill him if his destiny is to destroy the [Aiel]. She tells him more of [Aiel prophecy|Aiel Prophecies]:

%%quote
"He shall spill out the blood of those who call themselves [Aiel] as water on sand, and he shall break them as dried twigs, yet the remnant of a remnant shall he save, and they shall live."

So he is their only hope of survival. At mid-afternoon [Aviendha] returns. She stares hatefully at [Rand|Rand alThor]. He assumes that is because of what she saw in the [glass columns].[4] Late that afternoon he sees [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] stumbling up the hill. [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] rushes out and carries her to the tents. As [Rand|Rand alThor] and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] talk, [Rand|Rand alThor] thinks that he will break the rules in a way no one expects.

[#1] Was he %%ot [ta'veren|Wheel of Time]%%?\\
[#2] He must have been [Luc|Luc Mantear].\\
[#3] [Galad|Galad Damodred]\\
[#4] He is mistaken, of course. She went to the [three rings|Three Arches] and saw that she will betray her friendship with [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere] by falling in love with him. ([TFoH,Ch31]) She also saw that she will find sister-wives. ([CoT,Ch10])\\
