They have all sorts of exotic animals with them.[1] In front of them are hundreds of Whitecloaks. They are trapped. Mat blows the Horn of Valere and a fog begins to rise.

Rand POV#
It now seems like they are floating above Falme. Rand can see the Seanchan and Whitecloaks battling. He can even see Bayle Domon on the Spray out in the harbor. The Heroes of the Horn ride up and Rand recognizes them. He also recalls older names for them. They include Rogosh Eagle-eye, Gaidal Cain, Birgitte, Mikel of the Pure Heart (Michael), Paedrig the peacemaker (Patrick) and Otarin (Oscar). Artur Hawkwing, with his sword Justice, leads them and calls Rand Lews Therin. He says he has both faced him and fought beside him. He says they come to the Horn, but they must follow the Dragon Banner.[2] Perrin carries the Dragon Banner. Hurin insists on staying and Artur Hawkwing says he may one day join them. Rand seems to float away from them, then he sees Ba'alzamon with a black staff. He is thrown from Red and Red disappears. Ba'alzamon is surrounded by shadow. He knows Rand wants the girl and tells him she will be taken to Seanchan.[3] He thinks Rand blew the Horn.[4] The damane do not affect the Heroes of the Horn.[5] Ba'alzamon again offers to teach Rand. Rand recalls Lan and Ingtar telling about Sheathing the Sword. He assumes Heron Wading in the Rushes. Ba'alzamon stabs him in the side with the staff. He stabs Ba'alzamon in the heart.[6]

[#5] Birgitte confirms that the One Power cannot affect the Heroes of the Horn when they are called forth. (TSR,Ch52)
