Thom identifies Mat as being from the Two Rivers and wonders how Mat could have seen Trollocs. Thom lowers the body and says he heard men in town bragging about killing an Aiel. Thom remarks that it's rare to see red heads outside of the Aiel Waste.[5] Thom talks about the Aiel and that they're only dangerous when they're veiled, which this one was not.

She asks him "was it the hair?" and says it made her look too much like Egwene. Rand tries to get his sword, but Dana gets it first.

He sees Mat and they start running, with Dana in pursuit, holding Rand's sword. She finally corners them. She says that she sees "all five of you" in her dreams. She reveals that she's a Darkfriend and that she's proud that she's going to be the one that brings the Dragon Reborn to the Dark One. She says Darkfriends still remember the last person, Ishamael, that brought the Dragon to the Dark One 3,000 years ago. She further explains that the Dark One does not want to kill them, but wants them to join him in the breaking of the Wheel. She says that she's already called one of the Eyeless, and "you can't outrun a Fade." A thrown dagger from behind her pierces her throat and she falls dead.
