! Cold Open 1

%%blue [Moiraine]%% is in a chamber and speaks about the [Breaking] and the arrogance of men thinking that they could cage darkness itself. She looks at a map, puts on her blue ring and wraps up a small idol. She talks about man, called the [Dragon|Lews Therin Telamon], who was responsible for the [Breaking] and the [Aes Sedai], who were left to pick up the pieces. She says that the [Dragon|Lews Therin Telamon] has been born again, but they don't know where or to whom he was born or the gender. The only thing they know is that this child is "coming of age" now and they must find him/her before the Dark does. She leaves the chamber and [Lan], who was waiting outside, joins her and they walk away.

! Cold Open 2

In a valley, two men are running from five women, dressed in red, on horseback. It looks like the men might get away by going through a pass in the cliff in front of them, when the lead women[1] points her hand and causes rocks to fall, closing the pass. All come to a stop. One of them men asks that the women not hurt the other man. The lead woman asks who he's talking about. The scene pans out and only one man is visible. She proclaims that the madness already has him. She states that the [power|One Power] he has is meant for women only, because men corrupt the power when they touch it. She calls upon the other women, her "sisters" and then raises her hand. The man starts screaming.[2]

%%blue [Moiraine]%% and [Lan] are watching from above, and [Moiraine] states that "it's not him." [Lan] objects, saying that the man was born twenty years ago, close to what the [prophesies|Karaethon Prophecies] predicted. They head towards the [Two Rivers] where there are rumors of four %%ot [ta'veren|Wheel of Time]%% there, all the right age.

The scene ends with a look at a valley filled with various tall formations covered in greenery[3].

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

\\[#1] The lead woman is %%red [Liandrin]%%. It is unknown who the others are.
\\[#2] They have [gentled|stilling] the man.
\\[#3] Some of them look to be skyscrapers, indicating relics from a previous Age.
\\[#4] The relaxing and floating in the strong current mirrors [Aes Sedai] teachings about surrendering.
\\[#5] The background whistling merges very well into [Padan Fain]'s whistling. Foreshadowing.
\\[#6] That pattern is known as a "dragon's fang" and will appear throughout the series.
\\[#7] Ok, maybe not specifically [Narg], but it was in the books.
\\[#8] How did [Tam] know it was a [Trolloc] and why does he have a heron-marked sword? Well, he has a history...
\\[#9] Except for [Padan Fain], who just turns around and calmly walks away.
