! __Rand__ POV

[Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] leads as the party rides south with [Hurin] pointing the way. [Uno|Uno Nomesta] is second in command.[1] [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] and [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] are still mad at [Rand|Rand alThor]. They ride some and run some. [Loial] says he was the fastest runner in [Stedding Shangtai]. 

When they stop for the night, [Rand|Rand alThor] discovers [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] had only fancy clothes packed for him. [Uno|Uno Nomesta] is much older than [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa]. [Masema|Masema Dagar] fought the [Aiel] at [Ankor Dail] and hates [Rand|Rand alThor] because of his looks. [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] admires the [Aiel]. They were the only ones to defeat [Artur Hawkwing]. [Loial] again reminds [Rand|Rand alThor] of the [Aiel] battle motto. 

The next morning they find a camp with signs of thirty or forty. There are human bones indicating what the [Trollocs] had for dinner. The trail heads northeast for an hour, then back south.[2] For two days they follow a zigzag trail, each day finding a body. They come to the [Erinin River] and an abandoned village. They think the [Trollocs] took the people for food.[3] [Uno|Uno Nomesta] spots a woman in white, but then cannot find her.[4] [Ragan] and [Masema|Masema Dagar] cross the river to scout. On the other side they find [Changu] and [Nidao] skinned. Now the trail runs continuously south.[5] They are three or four days north of the field of [Talidar|Other Locations] where [Hawkwing|Artur Hawkwing] defeated a [Trolloc|Trollocs] army. There used to be a huge monument there. They pass the site of [Harad Dakar], the capital of [Hardan], abandoned three hundred years ago. [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] mentions other old nations: [Maredo], [Goaban] [Caralain], [Mar Haddon], [Almoth] and [Kintara]. Later, they find another village, also abandoned. [Rand|Rand alThor] enters a house, sees visions of what happened and feels cold. He embraces the void and the spell seems to break.[6] [Uno|Uno Nomesta] spots the woman in white again. They find a [Fade] nailed to a door.[7] They ride south again.
