Chapter Icon: Wheel and Serpent

Points of View: Graendal, Perrin, Olver, Barriga, Rand, Lan

Graendal's Point of View:

Setting: A palace in Ebou Dar

Characters: Graendal, Shaidar Haran

Graendal is stunned that Perrin escaped her trap with the Shadowspawn army through a Portal Stone. She blames Isam and the Whitecloaks and is bitter that her failure means she has to flee and abandon her plans to control Tuon. Shaidar Haran arrives and tells her that she has failed again and that three chosen were destroyed by her actions. He tells he that she will not be given another chance, but that he will not forget her. He moves in.

Perrin's Point of View:

Setting: Tel'aran'rhiod

Characters: Boundless, Perrin

Perrin searches out Boundless in the Wolf Dream, remembering what Hopper had said. Boundless does not want to talk with Perrin, bt eventually reveals that he was once Noam and chose the path of the wolf as there was too much pain in the human world. Perrin realises while that losing control while with the wolves is dangerous, he was never in any real danger of losing himself and has already found the balance that is right for him, just as Noam and Elyas did.

Olver's Point of View:

Setting: Outside Caemlyn

Characters: Olver, Talmanes

Olver and Talmanes play Snakes and Foxes. He is a little annoyed that Mat didn't take him to the Tower of Ghenjei, but accepts that Noal is a better fighter. He is planning to stay with the Band until he as learned all he can, but also because he thinks Mat needs someone to keep him organised. Eventually, he plans to go to the Finn himself and locate the Shaido who killed his father. On the last throw, he wins the game, much to Talmanes' astonishment, who believed that was impossible.

He opens Verin's letter as he believes that to be the polite thing to to. He doesn't fully understand, but it contains a warning that a large Shadowspawn force is intending to attack Caemlyn through a Waygate in the city and that the gate should be destroyed. Talmanes looks to the city and sees it aflame. He raises the Band to defend the city and keep the Dragons out of Shadowspawn hands.

Barriga's Point of View:

Location: The Blight

Characters: Barriga

Barriga looks for safety, his men dead and the Kandori towers having fallen. He sees what he takes to be Aiel, but with red veils and thinks he is saved. The Aiel removes his veil to reveal teeth filed to a point and moves in for the kill.

Rand's Point of View:

Setting: Rand's dream

Characters: Rand, Cyndane

Rand is dreaming, able to control his dreams and bar entry to anyone else. He hears sounds of pain in the distance and moves to investigate. He sees a woman who he does not recognise until he looks into her eyes. She tells him she wishes she were dead and that he grinds her bones and Heals her just enough to keep her alive. She tells Rand "He is coming" and vanishes.

Lan's Point of View:

Location: Tarwin's Gap

Characters: Lan

Lan looks across Tarwin's gap, at a Trolloc army ten times the size of his force and declares he is no longer aan'allein and that he is a king. He leads the charge
