The first 200 lines.
They say the last Dragon broke the world,
but the next one will save it.
Forget what you've heard about the Dragon.
This power, it's meant for women.
And women alone.
You see, women all over the world
have different names for it.
But it's one power.
You don't listen to the wind, Egwene.
It's the wind that listens to you.
Don't you see how pale she's getting? How weak?
- - Nynaeve!
Those monsters killed Nynaeve and Laila
and half the people we've ever loved.
You're going to be just like your dad. Damn prick
like him.
What in Light's name? Go! I'll find you.
No, we-we can't leave without them.
Pretty sure we can.
- Rand! - Mat!
If you don't take me to them right now,
I'll slit your throat.
Nynaeve!
Nynaeve!
Nynaeve!
Where are my friends?
Are they alive?
I won't ask again.
They're not here.
How did you find me?
What did she do to them?
You think you know this world.
You know nothing.
The Dark One is coming for your friends.
And Moiraine has fought his forces with everything she has.
If she cares about them so much, then why did she leave them?
She didn't.
I did.
She can't move...
let alone find them in her condition.
You're a healer.
You think I'm gonna help her?
You will if you want to help your friends.
Don't move.
We both know
that you won't.
Ooh, you actually tried to kill me.
Let go of me.
Egwene!
Perrin!
Egwene!
Perrin!
Can you see them?
If they made it out of the city...
They made it.
- Egwene! - Look, Rand, Rand, Rand,
we're gonna find them.
We will. Promise you.
But we're gonna be no help to them if we get ourselves killed.
All right?
Who knows what's out there that can hear us?
Let's find a way home. Yeah?
And if we find them along the way...
They're not going back home.
Moiraine said the Trollocs would come back if we did.
She said we need to go to the White Tower.
And you believe Moiraine?
Egwene does.
And what do you want us to do?
Just walk to the White Tower?
How we gonna get there?
They say all roads lead there.
That's not how roads work.
It's east.
We know that.
Come on, Rand.
Last thing you ever wanted to do was leave home.
We both know that.
It won't be home without them.
Those wolves,
I think they're following us!
There.
Keep going! Come on.
Let's light a fire. It'll keep them back.
I'm sorry. I'll get it.
Don't worry. I'll get it.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on!
Was that me or you?
If you wouldn't mind channeling us some food or water...
Do you think they're all right?
I don't know.
But I know where Rand will be headed.
Back home.
We can't go back.
- We have to. - We can't.
And they won't either.
And how do you know?
Because I know Rand.
He'll go where he thinks you're going.
Come here.
I'll keep watch.
You get warm, get some rest.
Are you ready to help now?
If I help her,
she best give me the answers I want.
Are you really in a position to be making demands?
It's not a demand, it's a threat.
She's gonna die without treatment.
You know that.
I don't see another Wisdom around here.
Do you?
You don't have to stand there like that.
I'm not gonna run off.
Fine.
You want to ask, so just ask.
You said you tracked me.
All the way from the Two Rivers to Shadar Logoth.
How?
Said you could ask, not that I'd answer.
All right, I'm ready.
I've heard about the bond
between an Aes Sedai and her Warder,
that you feel what she feels.
So get ready, because this is going to hurt.
Now we give it time.
Laila?
Laila?
I know.
Perrin! Perrin!
The wolves, they're close.
Quick, run.
This way!
- Hurry! - Come on!
I've got you! Keep going!
Come on! This way!
Hurry! Hurry! Go.
I'll hold them off!
No! Come on!
Why have they stopped?
We have to keep moving. Come on.
Egwene.
Shit, it's cold.
How about we, uh... trade coats?
Come on.
Think of the kids who'll read stories about you someday.
Mat Cauthon,
the man who once walked while a little chilly.
You funny now?
That's a new wrinkle.
Let's at least start going downhill instead of up, eh?
Eh?
What's that, then?
Downhill.
Well, this seems like a friendly place.
Nice way to welcome people.
So you'll be on best behavior, then.
Come on.
Wonder why we never had one of these in Two Rivers.
Charming, really.
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Welcome, gents.
We've only got enough for food.
- Soup's good today. - Yeah.
Has anyone else come into town today?
Our age.
A woman with a braid or a big man.
A blacksmith.
No, the only other fresh one in town's a gleeman.
Best quiet down. He's about to do another song.
Shh, quiet.
All right, we all gonna cry?
Or do we want another round?
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, don't worry, mate.
- That's for you. - Thank you, thank you.
Donation for the gleeman?
Too depressed for charity, I'm afraid.
But if you two think you can do better,
go on, then.
Don't let him bait you.
Anyone but him here sings ends up in the lake.
That'll be three coppers.
We didn't order that beer for him.
Donation for the gleeman.
It's all right.
You cannot trust anyone in here.
Come on.
Donation for the gleeman.
And a small fee for the life lesson.
Bloody expensive lesson.
The best ones are.
Come on.
Sit down.
They're still there.
Look.
Fresh tracks.
And deep.
And carrying lots of people.
Who do you think they could be?
