Mat's Journey

Season 1

Mat is hanging out at the Winespring Inn with Rand and Perrin. He is gambling and losing his money to Danya. His friends do not wish to continue playing with him, so he leaves them. At that time Egwene comes back from her initiation into the Women's circle and they begin the celebration.

During that evening, Mat goes to find his family. He finds his mother drunk, and sees his father flirt with another woman from the village. He tries to calm his mother and carries her into their home, putting her to sleep and taking his sisters away to sleep with him.

The next day Mat finds the peddler Padan Fain and tries to sell him a bracelet, which he might have stolen from Danya the day before. He gets less money than expected from the peddler, since Fain suspects that the bracelet is stolen anyway.

Later during the day, when Mat is sitting down for a drink with his friends, he notices that something is wrong with Rand and suspects it might be an Egwene related problem. Perrin gives Mat some money and tell him that Rand and himself have pitched in some coins for Mat to buy lanterns for his family for Bel Tine. In the evening, along with the rest of the villagers, Mat and his family light the lanterns and let them float in the river.

While the celebration is ongoing at the village Green, Mat is dancing with his sisters. Then, suddenly Trollocs attack the villagers and Mat runs away to his home to hide. There he finds his parent, but not his sisters, so he goes back out to look for them. He finds them hidden and tells them to run away into the woods.

In the morning after, Mat brings back the girls into the village and their mother is very happy to see them. Moiraine tells him he is one of the people the Dark One is looking for and that they must leave immediately. Mat is very skeptical, but leaves with the Aes Sedai and his friends.
