    Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain.

    hat women who should have been Aes Sedai were instead leashed like animals frightened the villagers even more than the strange creatures the Seanchan commanded, things the folk of Atuan’s Mill could only describe in whispers as coming from nightmares.

    “I’m only an old gleeman,” he said from the door. And Rand al’Thor is only a shepherd, but we both do what we must. “Who could I possibly be dangerous to?”

    “It is said we will know them when we hear of them, as we will know him when we see him, for he will be marked. He will come from the west, beyond the Spine of the World, but be of our blood.

    “Till shade is gone,” he mumbled, “till water is gone . . .”

    Power filled him. He was one with the sphere.

    “. . . into the Shadow with teeth bared . . .”

    The power was his. The Power was his.

    “. . . to spit in Sightblinder’s eye . . .”

    Power to Break the World.

    “. . . on the last day!”

    Rand took the interruption to try to regain some control of himself. As Tam had taught him long ago, he formed a single flame in his mind and fed his fears into it, seeking emptiness, the stillness of the void. The flame seemed to grow until it enveloped everything, until it was too large to contain or imagine any longer. With that it was gone, leaving in its place a sense of peace. At its edges, emotions still flickered, fear and anger like black blotches, but the void held. Thought skimmed across its surface like pebbles across ice. The Aes Sedai’s attention was only off him for a moment, but when they turned back his face was calm.

    “Why are you talking to me like this, Mother?” he asked. “You should be gentling me.”

    The Amyrlin Seat frowned and turned to Moiraine. “Did Lan teach him this?”

    “No, Mother. He had it from Tam al’Thor.”

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the Last Day.

    “Tam al’Thor left the Two Rivers as a boy, Mother. He joined the army of Illian, and served in the Whitecloak War and the last two wars with Tear. In time he rose to be a blademaster and the Second Captain of the Companions. After the Aiel War, Tam al’Thor returned to the Two Rivers with a wife from Caemlyn and an infant boy. It would have saved much, had I known this earlier, but I know it now.”

    “Do you walk in the Light, my daughter?”

    Reds are loke whites but inside job. Probably the main reason they are feared and distrusted
