The Gathering Storm: Chapter 15
A Place to Begin
Points of view: Rand, Min and Aviendha
Rand's Point of View:
Setting: An unknown place
Rand wakes in an oddly familiar place and goes through a door. Inthe sky he sees clouds bubbling off from one another, forming the shape of a tormented face. In the room,there are two chairs, with Moridin seated in one of them. Rand takes the other and recognises Moridin, who tells him he took a new name when he took a new body. He tells Rand that the Dark One can recover any who serve him unless they die by balefire. Moridin tells Rand it does not matter if Rand wins at Tarmon Gai'don as eventually, in one turning of the Wheel the Dark One will win. He does believe it will be in this turning and that there will be no eternity or living forever, only now. Rand tells him he means to slay the Dark One, which Modirin says is stupid.
Min's Point of View:
Setting: Lord Tellaen's manor
