! __Rand__ POV

The next morning, [Rand|Rand alThor] hides his injured hand from [Loial] and [Hurin]. He mounts [Red] and they continue to ride. In an hour, [Rand|Rand alThor] sees a spire. [Hurin] says [Hawkwing|Artur Hawkwing]'s monument that [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] mentioned was a spire like that, but when [Agelmar|Agelmar Jagad] sent him to [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] he saw it and it is now only a mound. As they ride on, they see that it is the monument, only now it is a monument to a Shadowspawn victory, with ravens killing a hawk and [Trolloc|Trollocs] symbols - the horned skull of the [Dha'vol|Trollocs], the iron fist of the [Dhai'mon|Trollocs], the trident of the [Ko'bal|Trollocs] and the whirlwind of the [Ahf'frait|Trollocs]. [Hurin] sees a woman behind them. [Loial] points out the mountains to the south, [Kinslayer's Dagger|Kinslayers Dagger], which are more than a hundred leagues south of the River [Erinin River]. Then they hear a scream in front of them. They ride forward and find a woman fending off a %%ot [grolm]%%. [Rand|Rand alThor] kills it with an arrow. She identifies herself as [Selene|Lanfear]. She is the most beautiful woman [Rand|Rand alThor] has ever seen and looks about [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara]'s age.[1] She says she is from [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)]. She stopped for a nap and woke in this world. [Hurin] slips and says they are following [Darkfriends] who stole the [Horn of Valere]. [Selene|Lanfear] wants to touch it when they find it. She begins urging [Rand|Rand alThor] to keep the [Horn|Horn of Valere] with images of glory. She rubs an ointment on [Rand|Rand alThor]'s burned palm and it feels much better.[2] He asks if she is [Aes Sedai] and she sneers at the idea. He keeps reminding himself that he loves [Egwene|Egwene alVere]. They continue riding south and [Selene|Lanfear] talks with [Loial]. As they approach the mountains, [Loial] tells [Rand|Rand alThor] how much [Selene|Lanfear] knows these worlds and the [Ways]. [Rand|Rand alThor] is suspicious. [Loial] says she must have learned in the [Royal Library|Cairhien Royal Library], one of the world's greatest. [Selene|Lanfear] rides up and calls [Loial] %%ot [alantin|Compleat]%%. She talks with [Rand|Rand alThor] about killing the %%ot [grolm]%%. He tells her about holding the void. She tells him it is called the Oneness and he should use it all the time to learn its full uses.[3] He questions how she knows so much. Angry, she says she learned about these worlds from a book called ''Mirrors of the Wheel''. She says the [Portal Stone] she woke up by is in the foothills to the east and wants to go to it. [Rand|Rand alThor] refuses saying they have to follow the [Horn|Horn of Valere]. She says she does not know how to work the [Portal Stone]. Five more %%ot [grolm]%% come after them.
