! __Mat__ POV

It is the day after [TDR,Ch18]. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] wakes with jumbled dreams and memories. He mumbles in the [Old Tongue], 
"%%ot [Muad'drin tia dar allende caba'drin rhadiem.|Compleat]%%" 
and suddenly recalls leading soldiers against [Trollocs].[1] He slowly orients himself and remembers [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] and the [ruby dagger|Ruby Dagger]. He recalls [Egwene|Egwene alVere] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] taking him to [Tar Valon] to be [Healed|Weaves] and realizes that that is where he must be. There is a table set with a great deal of food and he eats every bite. He decides he must fend for himself. His father, [Abell Cauthon], was the best horse trader in the [Two Rivers] and taught his son well. He thinks about [Aes Sedai] and the seven [Ajahs|Aes Sedai]: [Blue|Blue Ajah], [Red|Red Ajah], [Brown|Brown Ajah], [Green|Green Ajah], [Yellow|Yellow Ajah], [White|White Ajah] and [Gray|Gray Ajah].[2] He also remembers blowing the [Horn of Valere] and that [Verin|Verin Mathwin] was bringing the [Horn|Horn of Valere] to [Tar Valon]. His memories are very spotty since he left the [Two Rivers]. There is a knock and the door opens.
