! __Rand__ POV

[Alar] and [Juin] lead [Rand|Rand alThor] and the others to the [Portal Stone], then leave. %%brown [Verin|Verin Mathwin]%% implies she was transported by a [Portal Stone], then says she has never used one.[1] She says she knows how to use it but is not strong enough.[2] [Verin|Verin Mathwin] really wants to talk to [Selene|Lanfear] to find what she knows and to see her book, ''Mirrors of the Wheel''. [Verin|Verin Mathwin] knows of it, but it has not been seen since the [Breaking]. %%brown [Serafelle]%% has often told her there are many lost books still waiting to be found. [Verin|Verin Mathwin] knows three of the many symbols. She knows of three [Portal Stone] but has only visited one that is on [Toman Head]. The symbol for the [Toman Head] [Portal Stone] is two wavy parallel lines crossed by a squiggle. Another is a box with eight symbols, arrows in circles, four directions, inside or through a circle. One is our world, but [Verin|Verin Mathwin] does not know which.

[Rand|Rand alThor] sees many visions of futures, all ending with a voice whispering in his head, "I have won again, [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon]." They finally are in [Toman Head]. [Verin|Verin Mathwin] says there was a surge of the [One Power], as if they were pushed. The Lines that join the Worlds That Might Be, laid by those who knew the Numbers of Chaos. [Verin|Verin Mathwin], talking about other Worlds, "I never thought I..." It is well into late autumn; [Verin|Verin Mathwin] says four months have passed. [Loial], [Mat|Matrim Cauthon], [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], [Hurin], [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa], [Uno|Uno Nomesta], [Masema|Masema Dagar] and the rest are all stunned by what they saw. It is clear from their reactions that all saw many unpleasant futures. [Verin|Verin Mathwin] [Heals|Weaves] all but [Rand|Rand alThor], who refuses help, and they prepare to leave.
