Summary

Pedron Niall's Point of View:

Setting: Amadicia

Characters: Pedron Niall, Jaret Byar, Jaichim Carridin, Ordeith

Pedron Niall is sitting in his private audience chamber, accompanied by Jaret Byar. He looks at a drawing of a grey-eyed youth with reddish hair; the newly proclaimed Dragon Reborn. Jaret tells him that there is fighting going on all across Almoth Plain and Toman Head. Further, Geofram Bornhald and a thousand of the Children were killed by Aes Sedai. When Niall asks him about the army that has taken Falme and killed half of one of his legions, Byar says that they call themselves Seanchan and that Geofram Bornhald told him they were Darkfriends. Before he leaves he says that he knows that the Perrin from Two Rivers is to blame on it all.

Jaichim Carridin enters the room, and tells his Lord Captain Commander that the ones who seized Falme are Darkfriends, gathered to support the false Dragon with Aes Sedai support and that the rumors about Seanchan from across the Aryth Ocean are not true. Niall commands him to make sure that the false Dragon doesn't die and to kill any Aes Sedai who opposes him rather than supporting him. When the Inquisitator has left, Ordeith emerges from a passage in the wall. He looks at a drawing of the "false" Dragon, and tells Niall that it's Rand al'Thor, a Darkfriend from Two Rivers. When Ordeith tells him of Matrim Cauthon and Perrin Aybara, his two friends, close behind him in evil, Niall wonders whether he ought to make plans for the Two Rivers when the snow clears.

Jaichim Carridin's Point of View:

Setting: Amadicia

Characters: Jaichim Carridin, Sharbon, A Myrddraal

Carridin strides down the halls of the Fortress with a grimace on his face that makes other men avoid him. When he enters his rooms, a Myrddraal is waiting for him. The Fade confronts him with the fact that he had orders from the Great Lord of the Dark to find and kill Rand al'Thor above all else. It then threatens to kill one of his blood each month until al'Thor is dead. When the Halfman has disappeared, his body servant, Sharbon, enters the room, and Carridin orders him to fetch him pen and paper for the orders he must write.
