Osteopathy in Pregnancy
Osteopathic care during pregnancy helps to relieve or prevent symptoms enabling women to feel pain free, relaxed and energetic. Pain in pregnancy is common but NOT normal and CAN be treated effectively and usually quite quickly.
When there are previous stresses or strains on the body prior to pregnancy the body may not be able to adapt to the extra demands so easily, resulting in symptoms such as back pain, sacro-iliac pain, pubic or groin pain, rib pain, indigestion, or shortness of breath.
If you are getting any of these symptoms it's a good idea to consult an osteopath who specialises in pregnancy.
Simone has always been the first port of call for nearly all of the pregnant women I look after who get bad backs and associated discomfort in the legs, shoulders and joints.
She has looked after hundreds, if not thousands of women for me over the years and has always been a wonderful support.
Patients have always found it very worthwhile seeing her for treatment.
Specialist musculoskeletal care throughout pregnancy
Patients who are painfree are checked by our osteopaths once a month especially towards the end of the pregnancy. If they develop symptoms we treat as required. Osteopathic treatment is beneficial and safe during all stages of pregnancy and helps prepare your body for labour.
We assess each patient individually and provide gentle relief of symptoms using cranial and structural osteopathic techniques. We can also provide advice on exercise and posture specific to your problem, which can enable you to relieve your symptoms at home.
We use an integrated approach to healthcare during your pregnancy and may work with your midwife, obstetrician, exercise instructor or ante-natal teachers to provide information on your symptoms so that special care can be taken during your delivery or during your exercise classes.
Preparation for labour
At 37 to 38 weeks pregnant we like to do a special appointment for the pregnant women in the practice. This is to check the mobility of the pelvis, particularly the movement of the sacrum which has to move a considerable amount during delivery.  (You will be taught posture and latching for the baby by your midwife). This is particularly important to prevent the all too common neck or back pain post-natally. Advice in this session is also given for the perineum and pelvic floor and positions for labour if there is a history of back problems.
Breech babies
Acupuncture can often encourage babies to turn. Treatment should be given between 32 and 36 weeks.

ND-Data¶
(This is an introduction. For detailed info, see API documentation
.)
The nddata class is built on top of numpy. Numpy allows you to create multi-dimensional arrays of data.
Multidimensional data¶
The nddata class labels the dimensions (with a short text identifier) and allows you to associate axes, units, and errors with the data. These attributes are correctly transformed when you perform arithmetic operations or Fourier transforms, and are used to automatically format plots.
Todo
also implement with blocks for working in the Fourier domain
Very importantly, most pyspecdata functions are designed to operate on the data in place, meaning that rather than doing something like:
>>> data = data.mean() # numpy
you simply do:
>>> data.mean('axisname')
and data
is modified from here out.
We do this because we are typically processing multidimensional datasets that consist of many points,
and we subject them to a series of steps to process them.
We don’t want to use up memory with lots of copies of the data.
Also, this allows us to string together several operation, e.g.:
>>> data.ft('axis1').sum('axis2').mean('axis3')
So, while this general setup is different than the standard numpy setup, etc., it should lead to you writing more efficient code, with less variables to keep track of, and generally also leads to far more compact code, and you should probably not try to bypass it by creating copies of your data.
In rare circumstances, you need to create a copy of your data (I think there is only one case where this is true: when you need to process the same data in parallel in two different ways to generate two results, and then perform math that uses both results). For these cases, you can use an easy shortcut for the copy method: C (as in data.C).
Todo
say something about slicing and copies here
Note that, if all else fails,
you can always use numpy directly:
The `data` attribute of an nddata object is just a standard numpy array.
For example, if you have an nddata object called mydata
,
then mydata.data
is just a standard numpy array.
For beginning users,
this can be a very helpful fall back.
But, note that – in most cases – it should be more beneficial if you don’t
directly access the data attribute.
Below, we outline how you can use dimension labels to make code more legible and make many common tasks easier. Then, we note how slicing operations are different (and easier) for nddata than for standard numpy arrays. Finally, we outline several classes of methods by sub-topic.
Building an nddata from numpy arrays¶
You can build nddata objects manually, and we do this a bit in our examples (in order to provide a simple example). However, in practice, you should first ask yourself whether there is already a means for loading your data from a source file or an instrument automatically. If not, it’s still relatively simple to construct your own nddata.
For example, let’s consider a case where we have x and y data
>>> from numpy import *
>>> x = r_[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> y = r_[0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4]
To transform this into an ndata, we assign y as the data, and label it with x as the axis label.
>>> d = nddata(y,'x').labels('x',x)
The first function nddata(y,'x')
creates an instance of nddata; to do this,
we need to give our dimensions names – here we name the single dimension
‘x’.
We then attach an axis label with .labels(‘x’,x)
Now, for example, we’re ready to plot with axis labels or to Fourier transform. However, the true strength of pySpecData lies in how it treats multi-dimensional data.
Note
Please note that the xarray package is another package that deals with multidimensional data, and it does have some of the benefits listed here, but follows a distinctly different philosophy. Here, we place a strong an emphasis on benefits that can be derived from object-oriented programming. For example, error propagation and Fourier transformation are not handled in the same way, and the slicing notation is less compact.
Dimension labels¶
All dimension labels can have a display name (used for printing and plotting) and one or more short names (used for writing code).
You don’t need to keep track of the order of dimensions or align dimensions during multiplication. When you do arithmetic with two arrays, pyspecdata will first reshape the arrays so that dimensions with the same names are aligned with each other. Furthermore, during an arithmetic operation, if a dimension is present in one array but not the other, pyspecdata will simply tile the smaller array along the missing dimension(s).
To see how this works, compare the results of
>>> a = nddata(r_[0:4],'a')
>>> b = nddata(r_[0:4],'a')
>>> a*b
[0, 1, 4, 9]
+/-None
dimlabels=['a']
axes={`a':[0, 1, 2, 3]
+/-None}
which are arrays of data organized along the same dimension, and
>>> a = nddata(r_[0:4],'a')
>>> b = nddata(r_[0:4],'b')
>>> print a*b
[[0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 1, 2, 3]
[0, 2, 4, 6]
[0, 3, 6, 9]]
+/-None
dimlabels=['a', 'b']
axes={`a':[0, 1, 2, 3]
+/-None,
`b':[0, 1, 2, 3]
+/-None}
which are arrays of data organized along two different dimensions.
You can refer to a time dimension, such as t1, t_1, t_direct, etc. as f1, f_1, etc. in order to retrieve the Fourier transform. You can set the pairs …
Warning
error propagation for trig functions doesn’t yet work; automatic t vs. f naming not yet implemented.
Item selection and slicing¶
Pyspecdata offers several different synataxes for item selection and slicing. These fall into two main categories: numbered indexing and slicing (which will be familiar to most users of python) and *axis-based indexing*a. These can be combined in a single square bracket, separated by commas.
Axis-based Indexing¶
To pull a single point along a particular dimension, you can just use the value of the axis. The point nearest to the axis will be returned.
>>> d['t2':1.1]
Will return the point (or slice of data) where the t2 axis is closest to 1.1 s.
Axis Ranges¶
You can specify an inclusive range of numbers along an axis. For example, to select from 0 to 100 μs along t2, you use:
>>> d['t2':(0,100e-6)]
Either value in parentheses can be None, in which case, all values to the end of the axis will be selected.
Numbered Indexing and Slicing¶
You can still use standard index-based references or slices: you do this by placing a comma after your dimension name, rather than a colon:
>>> d['t2',5] # select index 5 (6th element)
>>> d['t2',5::-2] # select from index 5 up to 2 elements before the end
Logical¶
You can use functions that return logical values to select
>>> d[lambda x: abs(x-2)<5]
returns all data values that are less 5 away from 2 (values from -3 to 8).
>>> d['t2',lambda x: abs(x-2)<5]
When this is done, nddata will check to see if slices along any dimension are uniformly missing. If they are, the dataset will be trimmed to remove them.
When the deselected data are scattered throughout, a mask is used instead.
Todo
include examples/tests here
Axis-Based Indexing and Slicing in the Fourier Domain¶
Data can be manipulated not only in the direct domain, but also in the Fourier conjugate domain. This is achieved in one of two ways → by changing the name of the axis, and by explicitly specifying the domain.
Warning
this feature is planned, not yet implemented.
The property FT_regexp
is a dictionary that controls
By default, it is initially set to {'\<t':'\<f','\<T':'\<F'}
,
meaning that t and f at the beginning of word will be converted into each other.
This means that the following command:
>>> d['f2':(-1e6,1e6)]
would switch something with a dimension named t2 to the frequency dimension (shift by default – shift should be a property).
Alternatively, a slice of the form
dimname:'t/f':(range)
or
dimname:'u/v':(range)
can be used.
Here, ‘t’ and ‘f’ always correspond to the “original” and “conjugate” domains, respectively.
Since, sometimes this might lead to confusion, ‘u’ and ‘v’ serve the same respective functions.
Therefore this command performs the same function as the last line of code:
>>> d['t2':'f':(-1e6,1e6)]
Todo
show how this works with aliases
Error propagation¶
Todo
this works very well, but show an example here.
Methods for Manipulating Data¶
It’s important to note that, in contrast to standard numpy,
nddata routines are designed to be called as methods,
rather than independent functions.
Also, these methods modify the data in-place rather than returning a copy.
For example, after executing
d.ft('t2')
, the object d
will contain the Fourier transformed data.
There is not need to assign the result to a new variable.
Alternatively, the property C
offers easy access to a copy:
a = d.C.ft('t2')
leaves d
alone, and returns the FT as a new object
called a
.
This encourages a style where methods are chained together, e.g. d.ft('t2').mean('t1')
.
In order to encourage this style, we provide the method pyspecdata.nddata.run()
, which allows you to run a standard numpy function on the data:
d.run(abs)
will take the absolute value of the data in-place, while
d.run(std,'t2')
will run a standard deviation along the ‘t2’ axis
(this removes the ‘t2’ dimension once you’re done, since it would have a length of only 1 – pyspecdata.nddata.run_nopop()
would not remove the dimension).
For a full list of methods, see the API documentation: pyspecdata.nddata
.

For the love of beer……2 drinkers gang up & bash security guard for closing bar
by Sharon ChirisaFor the love of beer……2 drinkers gang up & bash security guard for closing bar
Excessive love of beer landed two Victoria Falls behind bars after they violently ganged up on a security guard for closing a bar while they were still drinking.
Kasanga Ndlovu (32) and Clive Ndlovu (22)beat up Mr Daniso Ncube (32) at Chinotimba bar.
This follows after Mr Ncube ordered them out as it was time to close the bar but the furious duo bashed him with fists and broken empty beer bottles.
Kasanga will serve an effective seven months in jail after the magistrate invoked another suspended month from a previous case where he bashed his wife,
The magistrate sentenced Clive to six months in prison before suspending two months on condition of good behaviour.

Introduction
Why and when You need XData?
- Independence:
- Business object hierarchy of Your application not depend XData object hierarchy.
- Database structure not dictate program object structure and vice versa.
- Database specific terms (primary key, foreign key, surrogate key value, concurrency token and so on) can be hidden from program object model due object mapping.
- XData base mapping concept based on one business object mapping with any number of data sources (tables, xml sources, subqueries, recursive trees and procedures) with not restricted recursion deep.
- Each of mapped business object can operate with hierarchically organized "updatable tree" of tables so business object changes can be stored in multiple linked tables at once. Complicated business objects can be created, updated and deleted with no additional code more then mapping.
- Same mapping can be used over multiple RDBMS (with some restrictions).
- SQL dialect modules can be developed independently from adapter modules developed over various ADO.Net providers used to access the same RDBMS.
- With ability to use XML data sources, temporary tables and procedure support, system can work using proprietary application database schemes where schema changes are not allowed.
- All technologically required tools (for example DI) can be integrated with XData, but You can choose Your favorite one independently without any dictate or double using it inside XData.
- Functionality:
- Full IQuariable and LINQ support.
- XData allowed to use SQL expressions as field data source.
- Calculated properties can be evaluated on .Net side.
- Active record model of data access is supported.
- Fully declarative using of optimistic locking of data is provided.
- Pessimistic locking is allowed when it supported by RDBMS functionality.
- Your application over XData can be deployed in three-tier mode with data aware logic can be took out to the application server layer (only in full .Net Framework 4.0 or above for now).
- XData introduce data aware business object actions which can be used as in two-tier mode as in three-tier mode.
- .Net trigger like logic can be programmed over mapped business objects (not over single table!). This feature also can be deployed on application server layer in three-tier mode.
- Unnamed SQL code blocks can be described as LINQ-like structures that have the same syntax, regardless of the DBMS or SQL dialect used.
- The ability to inherit the mapping description either using the usual inheritance structure and building a separate inheritance hierarchy for the mapping description.
- Usability
- Human readable mapping structure with unambiguous correlation with resulting SQL query. Programmer can get query text to check query execution plan for optimization.
- Feature rich security subsystem over business object level can be simply implemented using separate NuGet package.
- Declarative realization of Unit of Work over business object level available when using separate NuGet package.
- Lazy loading of large objects (XML, BLOB...) is available from the box.
- Two modes of mapping (using attributes and LINQ style expressions) or their mixing can be used.
- Dynamic in-place read only queries it's a powerful tool to access data in complicated cases.
- Virtual data support. You can use database mocking ability for testing.
- You can debug three-tier XData application in two-tier mode.
- Attachable localization based on satellite assemblies ability can be used to localize XData internal messages to any languages You interested (only in full .Net Framework 4.0 or above for now).
- Speed:
- SQL optimization granted by human controlled mapping results.
- Fields containing large objects (LOB or XML) are loaded only when they are needed. Hierarchically organized objects are also loaded only if they are needed and to the extent that they are needed. These and other built-in ways to optimize work with data allow XData to work optimally process complex data objects at the same time without limiting the developer’s capabilities.
- Code of XData is extremely optimized to speed with using profiler until no one internal code block is still marked "hot" over business logic and database access.
- Mapping structure caching. Cache can be reset by programmer.
- Data caching. Cache can be reset by programmer.
- SQL hints are supported to improve productivity in most complicated cases.
Is any restrictions of using XData exists?
- XData not supported Code First approach: Programmer or database administrator can write SQL script. This code is produced by human, real (not artificial) intellect of professional... But still XData has ability to run this script over database using Custom SQL executing feature.
- XData not supported DDL: By the same logic as above, and with the same receipt of using.
- XData not supported Database First approach: Now I've no idea to provide the same independence level as announced above using this approach (may be in the future...).
- Powerful, but complicated: Try it, simple things still are simple, more complicated is not as scary as they appear at first sight. But the power is never be useless.
- RDBMS SQL specific statements: So many RDBMS specific statements. So many features realized in one only database system, or restricted by version... May be some of them will be implemented, may be not...
- (planned to support in next versions) More dialects and adapters: Now supported MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySql and SQLite. It's a most used RBDMS, but Your favorite database can be out of the list. There are two ways - write me a letter and wait for my code realization, or develop it by Yourself. It's not a "piece of cake", but also not a huge amount megabytes of highly complicated code.

The goal of ngAria is to improve Angular's default accessibility by enabling common ARIA attributes that convey state or semantic information for assistive technologies used by persons with disabilities.
Using ngAria is as simple as requiring the ngAria module in your application. ngAria hooks into standard AngularJS directives and quietly injects accessibility support into your application at runtime.
angular.module('myApp', ['ngAria'])...
Currently, ngAria interfaces with the following directives:
Most of ngAria's heavy lifting happens in the ngModel
directive. For elements using ngModel, special attention is paid by ngAria if that element also
has a a role or type of checkbox
, radio
, range
or textbox
.
For those elements using ngModel, ngAria will dynamically bind and update the following ARIA attributes (if they have not been explicitly specified by the developer):
<md-checkbox ng-model="val" required>
Becomes:
<md-checkbox ng-model="val" required aria-required="true" tabIndex="0">
ngAria will also add tabIndex
, ensuring custom elements with these roles will be reachable from
the keyboard. It is still up to you as a developer to ensure custom controls will be
operable from the keybard. Think of ng-click
on a

or <md-checkbox>
:
you still need
to bind ng-keypress
to make it fully operable from the keyboard. As a rule, any time you create
a widget involving user interaction, be sure to test it with your keyboard and at least one mobile
and desktop screen reader (preferably more).
The disabled
attribute is only valid for certain elements such as button
,
input
and
textarea
. To properly disable custom element directives such as <md-checkbox>
or
<taco-tab>
,
using ngAria with ngDisabled will also
add aria-disabled
. This tells assistive technologies when a non-native input is disabled, helping
custom controls to be more accessible.
<md-checkbox ng-disabled="disabled">
Becomes:
<md-checkbox disabled aria-disabled="true">
You can check whether a control is legitimately disabled for a screen reader by visiting chrome://accessibility.
The ngShow directive shows or hides the given HTML element based on the expression provided to the
ngShow
attribute. The element is shown or hidden by removing or adding the.ng-hide
CSS class onto the element.
In its default setup, ngAria for ngShow
is actually redundant. It toggles aria-hidden
on
the
directive when it is hidden or shown. However, the default CSS of display: none !important
,
already hides child elements from a screen reader. It becomes more useful when the default
CSS is overridden with properties that don’t affect assistive technologies, such as opacity
or transform
. By toggling aria-hidden
dynamically with ngAria, we can ensure content
visually
hidden with this technique will not be read aloud in a screen reader.
One caveat with this combination of CSS and aria-hidden
: you must also remove links and other
interactive child elements from the tab order using tabIndex=“-1”
on each control. This ensures
screen reader users won't accidentally focus on "mystery elements". Managing tab index on every
child control can be complex and affect performance, so it’s best to just stick with the default
display: none
CSS. See the fourth
rule of ARIA use.
The ngHide directive shows or hides the given HTML element based on the expression provided to the
ngHide
attribute. The element is shown or hidden by removing or adding the.ng-hide
CSS class onto the element.
The default CSS for ngHide
, the inverse method to ngShow
, makes ngAria redundant. It
toggles
aria-hidden
on the directive when it is hidden or shown, but the content is already hidden with
display: none
. See explanation for ngShow when overriding the default CSS.
ngClick
or ngDblClick
is encountered, ngAria will add
tabIndex
if it isn't there already.
Even with this, you must currently still add ng-keypress
to non-interactive elements such as

or
<taco-button>
to enable keyboard access. I have recommended this also bind
ng-keypress
to be more useful; the conversation is currently ongoing.
The attribute magic of ngAria may not work for every scenario. To disable individual attributes,
you can use the config
method:
angular.module('myApp', ['ngAria'], function config($ariaProvider) {
$ariaProvider.config({
tabindex: false
});
});
Accessibility best practices that apply to web apps in general also apply to Angular.
aria-label
or
label elements, image alt
attributes, figure
/figcaption
elements and
more.

You have access to all dwarf-civ workshops as well as a special building which starts the hermit mode; literally named "!!! Start Hermit Mode!!!".
To use it, build it at the beginning, it will have one reaction: Start Hermit Mode. When you run it, you will be able to select your race from 200 types and your gender.  It also spawns 7 coffins to get rid of the dwarves quickly.
The workshop will get a second use now: You can pick your starting gear if you like. If not, please raze the building.

Our application is still in beta, but we would love for you to try it out. Click below to go to the map, or keep reading to get more information about the project.
Our application is a map which displays a variety of possible obstacles for people with limited mobility. It can be easily viewed on both desktop and mobile. To remove some of the data from the map, simply hover over (or tap on mobile) the Layers icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. This will allow you to turn on and off various data sets. To search for a specific location, use the search icon on the left-hand side of the screen. If you find that you are unable to see any information on the map other than elevation data, please try zooming in more, as some information does not appear until you are zoomed in closely. For more information about what each of the symbols on the map mean, please see the legend below:
| Legend | |

THE EDGE 1997 A film review by Timothy Voon Copyright 1998 Timothy Voon 1 :-) for the big, bad bear
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, Harold Perrineau, Elle Macpherson. Screenplay: David Mamet. Director: Lee Tamahori.
How many billionaires (Anthony Hopkins) in their late fifties are well read and able to survive the winter wild and man-eating bears? Not many, but let's put aside unlikelihoods to focus on what this movie has to offer. It teaches us not to put our trust in young, pretty wives who are super models (Elle Mcpherson) or to rely too heavily on their photographers (Alec Baldwin).
This movie should just focus on men pooling their resources together to survive the wilderness, leaving out the melodramatics of attempted murder and betrayal. The plot is initially engrossing, but becomes hard to swallow when one man becomes an excessively, forgiving hero and the other a literal dying swan. Find me a humane billionaire and I'll gladly donate five dollars to the Mother Theresa Foundation, find me one who doesn't have a lawyer as a ‘best friend' and I'll donate ten. One would have thought that life threatening experiences such as a bear hunt would create sufficient male bonding to resolve most differences, but apparently not so.
By far the best actor is the bear. These big, mangy beasts are too often disguised as soft cuddly toys which children take to sleep. This is most uncharacteristic of them (soft, cuddly) and the question of beds should never have arisen with Goldilocks in their jaws. Anyone who tells their child otherwise is being dishonest. It is this fascinating creature that makes this story exciting. The rest of the cast is merely supportive. Anthony Hopkins skilfully portrays an intellectual, resourceful billionaire who is unusually compassionate, and Alec Baldwin injects hilarity into the situation when he starts crying; but this is truly the tale of the big, bad bear.

#include <XENCCipherReference.hpp>
The <CipherReference> element provides the information necessary for an application to find the data being referenced. Like a Reference in XML-DSIG, the CipherReference starts with a URI that provides the base location of the data in question.
A list of transforms may then be provided, which the library will apply to the data found at the provided URI. It is expected that the result of these transforms will be the raw encrypted octets,
The schema for CipherReference is as follows:
<element name='CipherReference' type='xenc:CipherReferenceType'/> <complexType name='CipherReferenceType'> <sequence> <element name='Transforms' type='xenc:TransformsType' minOccurs='0'/> </sequence> <attribute name='URI' type='anyURI' use='required'/> </complexType> <complexType name='TransformsType'> <sequence> <element ref='ds:Transform' maxOccurs='unbounded'/> </sequence> </complexType>

Darkness surrounded him once the door vanished, blackness stretching in all directions, yet he could see. There was no sensation of heat or cold, even wet as he was; no sensation at all. Only existence.  He had seen these before, or their like; somehow he knew they would take him where he had to go. He ran up the impossible stairs, and as his boot left each one behind with its damp footprint, it faded away, vanished. Only steps ahead waited, only those taking him where he had to go. That was as it had been before, too.
Did I make these with the Power, or do they exist some other way?
With the thought, the gray stone under his foot began to fade, and all the others ahead shimmered. Desperately he concentrated on them, gray stone and real. Real! The shimmering stopped. They were not so plain now, but polished, the edges carved in a fancy border he thought he recalled seeing somewhere before.
Not caring where—not sure he dared think too long on it—he ran as hard as he could, taking the steps three at a time through the endless dark. They would take him where he wanted to go, but how long would it take? How much head start did Asmodean have? Did the Forsaken know a faster way to travel? That was the trouble. The Forsaken had all the knowledge; all he had was desperation.
Looking ahead, he winced. The steps had accommodated themselves to his long stride, with wide spaces between requiring those leaps now, across black as deep as . . . as what? A fall here might never end. He forced himself to ignore the gaps, to keep running. The old, half-healed wound in his side began to throb, a vague awareness. But if he was aware of it at all, wrapped inside saidin, the wound was close to breaking open. Ignore it. The thought floated across the Void inside him. He did not dare lose this race, not if it killed him. Would these steps never stop climbing? How far had he come?
Suddenly he saw a figure in the distance ahead and off to his left, a man it seemed, in a red coat and red boots, standing on a glistening silvery platform that slid through the darkness. Rand needed no closer look to be sure it was Asmodean. The Forsaken was not running like a half-spent country boy; he was riding that whatever-it-was.
Rand stopped dead on one of the stone steps. He had no idea what that platform was, shining like polished metal, but . . . The steps ahead of him vanished. The piece of stone beneath his boots began to glide forward, faster and faster. There was no wind in his face to tell him he was moving, nothing in that vast black to mark motion at all—except that he was beginning to catch up to Asmodean. He did not know if he was doing this with the Power; it just seemed to happen. The step wobbled and he made himself stop wondering. I don’t know enough yet.
The dark-haired man stood at his ease, one hand on a hip, pensively fingering his chin. A spill of white lace dripped from his neck; more half-hid his hands. His high-collared red coat seemed shinier than silk satin, and was oddly cut, with tails hanging almost to his knees. What seemed to be black threads, like fine steel wires, ran off from the man, disappearing into the surrounding dark. Those Rand had surely seen before.
Asmodean turned his head, and Rand gaped. The Forsaken could change their faces—or at least make you see a different face; he had seen Lanfear do it—but these were the features of Jasin Natael, the gleeman. He had been sure it would be Kadere, with his predatory eyes that never changed.
Asmodean saw him at the same moment and gave a start. The Forsaken’s silver perch darted forward—and suddenly a huge sheet of fire, like a thin slice from a monstrous flame, swept back toward Rand, a mile high and a mile wide.
He channeled at it desperately; just as it was about to strike him, it suddenly burst into shards, hurtling away from him, winking out. Yet even as the fiery curtain vanished it revealed another rushing at him. He shattered that, exposing another, splintered the third to reveal a fourth. Asmodean was getting away, Rand was sure of it. He could not see the Forsaken at all for the flames. Anger slid across the surface of the Void, and he channeled.
A wave of fire enveloped the crimson curtain sweeping toward him and rolled on, carrying it away, not a thin slice, but wild, billowing gouts as if whipped by stormwinds. He quivered with the Power roaring through him; anger at Asmodean clawed at the surface of the Void.
A hole appeared in the erupting surface. No, not a hole exactly. Asmodean and his shining platform stood in the middle of it; but as the flaming wave washed forward it slid together again. The Forsaken had built some sort of shield around himself.
Rand made himself ignore the distant anger outside the Void. It was only in cold calm that he could touch saidin; acknowledging anger would shatter the Void. The billows of fire ceased to exist as he stopped channeling. He had to catch the man, not kill him.
The stone step slid through the blackness even faster. Asmodean drew closer.
Abruptly the Forsaken’s platform stopped.
Rand lashed out wildly with the Power. He had to hold it open; once it closed, he would have no idea where Asmodean had fled. The shrinking stopped. A square of harsh sunlight, big enough to step through. He had to hold it open, reach it before Asmodean could go too far . . .
Even as he thought about stopping, the step halted dead. It halted, but he hurtled forward, flying through the doorway. Something tugged his boot, and then he was tumbling head over heels across hard ground, to land finally in a breathless heap.
Fighting to fill his lungs, he pushed himself to his feet, not daring to let himself be helpless a moment. The One Power still filled him with life and vileness; his bruises felt as distant as his struggle for breath, as far off as the yellow dust that covered his damp clothes, covered him. Yet at the same time he was aware of every stir of furnace air, every grain of dust, every minute crack in the hard-baked clay. Already the sun was baking away the moisture, sucking it from his shirt and breeches. He was in the Waste, in the valley below Chaendaer, not fifty steps from fog-shrouded Rhuidean. The doorway was gone.
He took a step toward the wall of mist and stopped, lifting his left foot. His bootheel was sliced cleanly though. The tug he had felt; the doorway closing. He was dimly aware of shivering in spite of the heat. He had not known it was that dangerous. The Forsaken had all the knowledge. Asmodean would not escape him.
Grimly he adjusted his clothes, tucking the carved little man and his sword firmly in place, ran to the fog and in. Gray blindness enveloped him. The Power filling him did nothing to make him see better here. Running blind.
Abruptly he threw himself down, rolling the last stride out of the fog onto gritty paving stones. Lying there, he stared up at three bright ribbons, silver-blue in the strange light of Rhuidean, stretching to left and right, floating in the air. When he stood, they were at the level of his waist, chest and neck, and so thin that they vanished edge-on. He could see how they had been made and hung, even if he did not understand it. Hard as steel, sharp enough to make a razor seem a feather. Had he run into those, they would have sliced through him. A tiny surge of the Power, and the silver ribbons fell in dust. Cold anger, outside the Void; inside, cold purpose, and the One Power.
The bluish glow of the fog dome cast its shadowless light on the half-finished, slab-sided palaces of marble and crystal and cut glass, the cloud-piercing towers, fluted and spiraled. And down the broad street ahead of him ran Asmodean, past dry fountains, toward the great plaza at the heart of the city.
Rand channeled—it seemed oddly difficult; he pulled at saidin, wrenched at it until it raged into him—he channeled, and thick bolts of jagged lightning shot from the dome-clouds. Not at Asmodean, Just ahead of the Forsaken, gleaming pillars of red and white, fifty feet thick and a hundred paces high, centuries old, exploded and toppled across the street in rubble and clouds of dust.
From huge windows of colored glass, images of majestically serene men and women seemed to look at Rand in reproof. “I have to stop him,” he told them; his voice seemed to echo in his own ears.
Asmodean paused, starting back from the collapsing masonry. The dust drifting toward him never touched his shiny red coat; it parted around him, leaving clear air.
Fire bloomed around Rand, enveloped him as the air became flame—and vanished before he was even aware of how he did it. His clothes were dry and hot; his hair felt singed, and baked dust fell at every step as he ran. Asmodean was scrambling over the broken stone blocking the street; more lightning flashed, raising gouts of shattered paving stone ahead of him, ripping open crystal palace walls to rain ruin before him.
The Forsaken did not slow, and as he vanished, lightning flashed from the glowing clouds toward Rand, stabbing blindly but meant to kill. Running, Rand wove a shield around himself. Shards of stone bounded from it as he dodged crackling blue bolts, leaped over the holes they tore in the pavement. The air itself sparkled; the hair of his arms lifted with it, the hair on his head stirred.
There was something woven into the barrier of shattered columns. He hardened the shield around himself. Great tumbled chunks of red and white stone exploded as he reached to climb, a burst of pure light and flying stone. Safe inside his bubble, he ran through, only vaguely aware of the rumble of collapsing buildings. He had to stop Asmodean.  He was catching up. He entered the plaza only a dozen paces behind. Trying to increase his speed, he redoubled his efforts at slowing Asmodean, and fleeing, Asmodean fought to kill him.
The ter’angreal and other precious things the Aiel had given their lives to bring here were hurled into the air by lightning, tossed wildly by spinning whirlwinds of fire, constructs of silver and crystal shattering, strange metal shapes toppling as the ground shivered and broke open in wide rents.
Searching wildly, Asmodean ran. And flung himself at what might seem the least significant thing in all that litter.  Asmodean closed his hands on it with an exultant cry.
A heartbeat later, Rand’s hands grasped it, too. For the barest instant he stared into the Forsaken’s face; he looked no different than he had as a gleeman, except for a wild desperation in his dark eyes, a somewhat handsome man in his middle years—nothing at all to say he was one of the Forsaken. The barest instant, and they both reached through the figure, through the ter’angreal, for one of the two most powerful sa’angreal ever made.
Vaguely Rand was aware of a great, half-buried statue in far-off Cairhien, of the huge crystal sphere in its hand, glowing like the sun, pulsing with the One Power. And the Power in him surged up like all the seas of the world in storm. With this surely he could do anything; surely he could even have Healed that dead child. The taint swelled as much, curling ’round every particle of him, seeping into every crevice, into his soul. He wanted to howl; he wanted to explode. Yet he only held half what that sa’angreal could deliver; the other half filled Asmodean.
Back and forth they straggled, tripping over scattered and broken ter’angreal, falling, neither daring to let go of the figure with even one finger for fear the other would pull it away. Yet as they rolled over and over, banging now against a redstone doorframe that somehow still stood, now against a fallen crystal statue lying on its side unbroken, a nude woman clasping a child to her breast, as they fought for possession of the ter’angreal, the battle was fought on another level, too.
Hammers of Power large enough to level mountains struck at Rand, and blades that could have pierced the earth’s heart; unseen pincers tried to tear his mind from his body, ripped at his very soul. Every scrap of Power he could draw went to hurl those attacks away. Any one could destroy him as if he had never been; he was sure of it. Where they went he could not be sure. The ground bounded beneath them, shaking them as they struggled, flinging them about in a writhing tangle of straining muscle. Dimly he was aware of vast rumbles, of a thousand whining hums like some strange music. The glass columns, quivering, vibrating. He could not worry about them.
All those nights without sleep were catching up to him, the running he had done on top of it. He was tired, and if he could even know it inside the Void, then he was near exhaustion. Tossed by the quaking earth, he realized he was no longer trying to pull the ter’angreal from Asmodean, only to hold on. Soon his strength would go. Even if he managed to retain his grip on the stone figure, he would have to let go of saidin or be swept away by the rush of it, destroyed as surely as Asmodean would do it. He could not pull another thread through the ter’angreal; he and Asmodean were equally balanced, each with half of what the great sa’angreal in Cairhien could draw. Asmodean panted in his face, snarling; sweat dripped from the Forsaken’s forehead, ran down his cheeks. The man was tired, too. But as tired as he?
The flailing earth heaved Rand on top for an instant, and just as quickly spun Asmodean up, but in that brief moment Rand felt something pressed between them.  An insignificant thing next to the immense Power they drew upon. A cup of water compared to a vast river, to an ocean. He did not even know if he could use it while linked to the great sa’angreal. And if he could? Asmodean’s teeth bared. Not a grimace, but a weary rictus of a smile; the man thought he was winning. Perhaps he was. Rand’s fingers trembled, weakening around the ter’angreal; it was all he could do to hold on to saidin, even linked as he was to the huge sa’angreal.
He had not seen those strange things like black steel wires around Asmodean since leaving the dark place, but he could visualize them even in the Void, place them in his mind around the Forsaken. Tam had taught him the Void as an aid to archery, to be one with the bow, the arrow, the target. He made himself one with those imagined black wires. He barely saw Asmodean frown. The man must be wondering why his face had grown calm; there was always calm in the moment before the arrow was loosed. He reached through the small angreal in his waistband, and more of the Power flowed into him.  This would use his final strength. He formed it like a sword of Power, a sword of Light, and struck; one with the sword, one with the imagined wires.
Asmodean’s eyes went wide, and he screamed, a howl from the depths of horror; like a struck gong the Forsaken quivered. For an instant there seemed to be two of him, shivering away from each other; then they slid back together. He fell over on his back, arms flung out in his now dirty, tattered red coat, chest heaving; staring up at nothing, his dark eyes looked lost.
As he collapsed, Rand lost his hold on saidin, and the Power left him. He had barely enough strength to clutch the ter’angreal to his chest and roll away from Asmodean. Pushing himself to his knees felt like climbing a mountain; he huddled around the figure of the man with his crystal sphere.
The earth had stopped moving. The glass columns still stood—he was grateful for that; destroying them would have been like obliterating the history of the Aiel—but Avendesora, that had lived three thousand years in legend and truth, Avendesora blazed like a torch, and as for the rest of Rhuidean . . .
The plaza looked as if everything had been picked up and flung about by a mad giant. Half the great palaces and towers were only heaps of rubble, some spilling into the square; huge toppled columns marred others, and fallen walls, and empty gaps where huge windows of colored glass had been. A rift ran the whole way across the city, a split in the earth fifty feet wide. The destruction did not end there. The dome of fog that had hidden Rhuidean for so many centuries was dissipating; the underside no longer glowed, and harsh sunlight poured through great new gaps. Beyond, Chaendaer’s peak looked different, lower, and on the other side of the valley some of the mountains were definitely lower. Where one mountain had stood, a fan of stone and dirt stretched across the north end of the valley.
I destroy. Always I destroy! Light, will it ever end?
Asmodean rolled onto his belly, pushed to hands and knees. His eyes found Rand, and the ter’angreal, and he made as if to crawl toward them.
Rand could not have channeled a spark, but he had learned how to fight before his first nightmare of channeling. He lifted a fist. “Don’t even think about it.” The Forsaken stopped, swaying wearily.
“I do like to see men fight, but you two cannot even stand.” Lanfear moved into Rand’s view, surveying the devastation. “You have made a thorough job of it. Can you feel the traces? This place was shielded in some way. You did not leave enough for me to say how.” Dark eyes suddenly bright, she knelt in front of Rand, peering at what he held. “So that is what he was after. I thought they were all destroyed. Only half remains of the single one I have seen; a fine trap for some unwary Aes Sedai.” She put out a hand, and he clutched the ter’angreal tighter. Her smile did not touch her eyes. “Keep it, certainly. To me it is no more than a figurine.” Rising, she dusted her white skirts though they did not need it. When she realized he was watching her, she stopped searching the rubble-strewn plaza with her eyes, made her smile brighter. “What you used was one of the two sa’angreal I told you of. Did you feel the immensity of it? I have wondered what it must be like.” She seemed unaware of the hunger in her voice. “With those, together, we can displace the Great Lord of the Dark himself. We can, Lews Therin! Together.”
“Help me!” Asmodean crawled toward her unsteadily, his upraised face painted in dread. “You don’t know what he has done. You must help me. I would not have come here if not for you.”
“What has he done?” she sniffed. “Beaten you like a dog, and not half so well as you deserve. You were never meant for greatness, Asmodean, only to follow those who are great.”
Somehow Rand managed to stand, still holding the stone-and-crystal figure to his chest. He would not continue on his knees in her presence. “You Chosen”—he knew taunting her was dangerous, but he could not stop himself—“gave your souls to the Dark One. You let him attach himself to you.” How many times had he replayed his battle with Ba’alzamon? How many times before he began to suspect what those black wires were? “I cut him off from the Dark One, Lanfear. I cut him off!”
Her eyes widened in shock, staring from him to Asmodean. The man had begun to weep. “I did not think that was possible. Why? Do you think to bring him to the Light? You’ve changed nothing about him.”
“He is still the same man who gave himself to the Shadow in the first place,” Rand agreed. “You told me how little you Chosen trust one another. How long could he keep it secret? How many of you would believe he didn’t do it himself somehow? I am glad you thought it impossible; maybe the rest of you will as well. You gave me the whole idea, Lanfear. A man to teach me how to control the Power. But I won’t be taught by a man linked to the Dark One. Now I don’t have to be. He may be the same man, but he doesn’t have much choice, does he? He can stay and teach me, hope I win, help me win, or he can hope the rest of you don’t take the excuse to turn on him. Which do you think he’ll choose?”
Asmodean stared wild-eyed at Rand from his crouch, then thrust out a pleading hand toward Lanfear. “They will believe you! You can tell them! I would not be here except for you! You must tell them! I am faithful to the Great Lord of the Dark!”
Lanfear stared at Rand, too. For the first time ever that he had seen, she looked uncertain. “How much do you remember, Lews Therin? How much is you, and how much the shepherd? This is the sort of plan you might have devised when we—” Drawing a deep breath, she turned her head to Asmodean. “Yes, they will believe me. When I tell them you went over to Lews Therin. Everyone knows you will leap wherever you think your best chance lies. There.” She nodded to herself in satisfaction. “Another little present for you, Lews Therin. That shield will allow a trickle through, enough for him to teach. It will dissipate with time, but he’ll not be able to challenge you for months, and by that time he will have no choice but to remain with you. He was never very good at breaking through a shield; you must be willing to accept pain, and he never could.”
“NOOOOOO!” Asmodean crawled toward her. “You cannot do this to me! Please, Mierin! Please!”
“My name is Lanfear!” Rage twisted her face to ugliness, and the man lifted into the air, spread-eagled; his clothes pressed to him and the flesh of his face distorted, spread out like butter under a rock.
Rand could not let her kill the man, but he was too tired to touch the True Source unaided; he could barely sense it, a dim glow just out of sight. For an instant his hands tightened on the stone man with the crystal sphere. If he reached through to the huge sa’angreal in Cairhien again now, that much of the Power might destroy him. Instead, he reached through the carving in his waistband; with the angreal, it was a feeble flow, a hair-thin trickle compared to the other, but he was too weary to pull more. He hurled it all between the two Forsaken, hoping to distract her if nothing, else.
A bar of white-hot fire ten feet tall streaked between the pair in a blur surrounded by arcing blue lightning, searing a pace-deep groove across the square, a smooth-sided gash glowing with melted earth and stone; the fiery shaft struck a green-streaked palace wall and exploded, the roar buried in the rumble of collapsing marble. On one side of the melted slash Asmodean dropped to the pavement in a shuddering heap, blood trickling from nose and ears; on the other, Lanfear staggered back as if struck, then rounded on Rand. He swayed with the effort of what he had done, and lost saidin once more.
For a moment rage engorged her face as deeply as it had for Asmodean. For a moment Rand stood on the brink of death. Then fury vanished with startling abruptness, buried behind a seductive smile. “No, I mustn’t kill him. Not after we have gone to so much effort.” Moving closer, she reached up to stroke the side of his neck, where her bite from the dream was just healing; he had not let Moiraine know of it. “You still bear my mark. Shall I make it permanent?”
“Did you harm anyone at Alcair Dal, or in the camps?”
Her face never stopped smiling, but her caress changed, fingers suddenly poised as if to rip out his throat. “Such as who? I thought you had realized you did not love that little farmgirl. Or is it the Aiel jade?” A viper. A deadly viper who loved him—The Light help me!—and he did not know how to stop her if she decided to bite, whether him or someone else.
“I don’t want anyone hurt. I need them yet. I can use them.” It was painful saying that, painful for the amount of truth in it. But keeping Lanfear’s fangs out of Egwene and Moiraine, away from Aviendha and anyone else close to him, that was worth a little pain.
Throwing back her beautiful head, she laughed like chiming bells. “I can remember when you were too softhearted to use anyone. Devious in battle, hard as stone and arrogant as the mountains, but open and softhearted as a girl!  I do not kill without cause, Lews Therin. I do not even hurt without cause.” He was careful not to look at Asmodean; white-faced, drawing jagged breaths, the man had pushed up on one hand, using the other to wipe blood from his mouth and chin.
Turning slowly, Lanfear surveyed the great square. “You have destroyed this city as well as any army could have.” But it was not the ruined palaces she stared at, though she pretended; it was the broken square with its jumbled litter of ter’angreal and who knew what else. The corners of her mouth were tight when she turned back to Rand; her dark eyes held a spark of suppressed anger. “Use his teachings well, Lews Therin.  They will be more eager to bring you down, not less, if—when—they discover you hold that.”
Her gaze flickered to the foot-tall figure in his hands, and for an instant he thought she was considering taking it from him. Not to keep the others from his back, but because with it he might be too powerful for her to handle. Right then he was not certain he could stop her if she used nothing but her hands. One instant she was weighing whether to leave the ter’angreal in his possession, the next measuring his tiredness. However much she talked of loving him, she would want to be far from him when he regained enough strength to use the thing. Briefly she scanned the plaza again, lips pursed; then abruptly a door opened beside her, not a door to blackness, but into what seemed a palace chamber, all carved white marble and white silk hangings.
“Which one were you?” he said as she stepped toward it, and she paused, looking over a shoulder at him with an almost coy smile.
 She ran hands down her rounded slimness for emphasis. “Isendre, now. Slim, beautiful Isendre. I thought if you suspected, you would suspect her. My pride is strong enough to support a little fat, when it must.” The smile became a baring of teeth. “Isendre thought she was dealing with simple Friends of the Dark. I would not be surprised if right now she is frantically trying to explain to some angry Aiel women why a large quantity of their gold necklaces and bracelets are in the bottom of her chest. She actually did steal some of them herself.”
“I thought you said you didn’t harm anyone!”
“Now your soft heart shows. I can show a tender, woman’s heart when I choose. You’ll not be able to save her being welted, I think—she deserves that for the least of the looks she gave me—but if you return quickly, you can prevent them sending her off with one waterskin to walk out of this blighted land. They are quite hard on thieves, it seems, these Aiel.” She gave an amused laugh, shaking her head in wonder. “So different from what they were. You could slap a Da’shain’s face, and all he did was ask what he had done. Slap again, and he asked if he had offended. He would not change if you continued all day.” Giving Asmodean a contemptuous sidelong look, she added, “Learn well and quickly, Lews Therin.  Learn well and quickly.” She stepped into the chamber of white marble and silk, and the doorway seemed to turn sideways, narrowed, vanished.
Rand drew the first deep breath he had taken since her appearance. Mierin. A name remembered from the glass columns. The woman who had found the Dark One’s prison in the Age of Legends, who had bored into it. Had she known what it was? How had she escaped that fiery doom he had seen? Had she given herself to the Dark One even then?
Asmodean was struggling to his feet, unsteady and nearly falling again.  His filthy red coat was torn, his white lace ripped and snagged. “It was my link to the Great Lord that allowed me to touch saidin without going mad,” he said hoarsely. “All you have done is make me as vulnerable as you. You might as well let me go. I am not a very good teacher. She only chose me because—” His lips writhed, trying to pull the words back.

On tottering legs Rand crossed the broad square, picking his way through the litter. He and Asmodean had been flung halfway around the forest of glass columns from Avendesora. Crystal plinths lay against fallen statues of men and women, some broken in chunks, some not even chipped. A great flat ring of silvery metal had been flipped up on chairs of metal and stone, strange shapes in metal and crystal and glass, all mixed in a heap with shattered bits, a black metal shaft like a spear standing upright, improbably balanced on the pile. The entire plaza was like that.
Out from the great tree, a little searching among the jumble found what he sought. Kicking aside pieces of what seemed to be spiraled glass tubes, he shoved a plain-carved chair of red crystal aside and picked up a foot-tall figurine, a robed woman with a serene face, worked in white stone, holding up a clear sphere in one hand. Unbroken. As useless to him, or to any man, as its male twin was to Lanfear. He considered breaking it. One swing of his arm could shatter that crystal globe on the paving stones, surely.
“She was looking for that.” He had not realized Asmodean had followed him.  “She will rip your heart out to put her hands on it.”
“Or yours, for keeping it secret from her. She loves me.” Light help me. Like being loved by a rabid wolf! After a moment he put the female statue in the crook of his arm with the male. There might be a use for it. And I don’t want to destroy anything else.
Yet as he looked around, he saw something besides destruction. The fog was almost gone from the ruined city; only a few wispy sheets remained to drift among the buildings still standing beneath the sinking sun. The valley floor tilted sharply to the south now, and water spilled out of the great rent across the city, the gash that went all the way down to where that deep hidden ocean of water lay. Already the lower end of the valley was filling. A lake. It might reach nearly to the city eventually, a lake maybe three miles long in a land where a pool ten feet across drew people. People would come to this valley to live. He could almost see the surrounding mountains already terraced with crops growing green. They would tend Avendesora, the last chora tree. Perhaps they would even rebuild Rhuidean. The Waste would have a city. Perhaps he would even live to see it.
With the angreal, the round little man with his sword, he was able to open a doorway to blackness. Asmodean stepped through with him reluctantly, sneering faintly when a single carved stone step appeared, just wide enough for the two of them. Still the same man who had given himself to the Dark One. His calculating, sideways glances were reminder enough of that, if Rand needed any.
They only spoke twice as the step soared through the darkness.
Once Rand said, “I cannot call you Asmodean.”
The man shivered. “My name was Joar Addam Nesossin,” he said at last. He sounded as if he had stripped himself bare, or lost something.
“I can’t use that either. Who knows what scrap holds that name somewhere? The idea is to keep someone from killing you for a Forsaken.” And to keep anyone from knowing he had a Forsaken for teacher. “You will have to go on being Jasin Natael, I think. Gleeman to the Dragon Reborn.  Natael grimaced, but said nothing.
A little later, Rand said, “The first thing you’ll show me is how to guard my dreams.” The man only nodded, sullenly. He would cause problems, but they could not be as large as the problems of ignorance.
The step slowed, stopped, and Rand folded again. The doorway opened on the ledge in Alcair Dal.
The rain had stopped, though the evening-shadowed floor of the canyon was still sodden, churned to mud by Aiel feet. Fewer Aiel than before, perhaps as many as a fourth fewer. But not fighting. Staring at the ledge, where Moiraine and Egwene, Aviendha and the Wise Ones had joined the clan chiefs, who stood talking with Lan. Mat was squatting a little distance from them, hat brim pulled down and black-hafted spear propped on his shoulder, Adelin and her Maidens standing around him. They gaped as Rand stepped out of the doorway, stared more when Natael followed in his tattered shiny red coat and white lace. Mat jumped to his feet with a grin, and Aviendha half-raised a hand toward him. The Aiel in the canyon watched silently.
Before anyone could speak, Rand said, “Adelin, would you send someone out to the fair and tell them to stop beating Isendre? She is not as big a thief as they think.” The yellow-haired woman looked startled, but immediately spoke to one of the Maidens, who dashed off.
“How did you know about that?” Egwene exclaimed, at the same time Moiraine demanded, “Where have you been? How?” Her wide dark eyes darted from him to Natael, her Aes Sedai calm nowhere in evidence. And the Wise Ones . . . ? Sun-haired Melaine looked ready to drag answers out of him with her bare hands. Bair scowled as though she meant to switch them out. Amys shifted her shawl and ran fingers through her pale hair, unable to decide whether she was worried or relieved.
Adelin handed him his coat, still damp. He wrapped it around the two stone figures. Moiraine was considering those, too. He did not know if she even suspected what they were, but he intended to hide them as best he could from anyone. If he could not trust himself with Callandor’s power, how much less with the great sa’angreal? Not until he had learned more of how to control it, and himself.
“What happened here?” he asked, and the Aes Sedai’s mouth tightened at being ignored. Egwene did not look much more pleased.
“The Shaido have gone, behind Sevanna and Couladin,” Rhuarc said. “All who remain acknowledge you as Car’a’carn.”
“The Shaido were not the only ones who fled.” Han’s leathery face twisted sourly. “Some of my Tomanelle went as well. And Goshien, and Shaarad, and Chareen.” Jheran and Erim nodded almost as dourly as Han.
“Not with the Shaido,” tall Bael rumbled, “but they went. They will spread what happened here, what you revealed. That was ill done. I saw men throw away their spears and run!”

“No Taardad left,” Rhuarc put in, not pridefully but as a simple statement of fact. “We are ready to go where you lead.”
Where he led. He was not done with the Shaido, with Couladin, or Sevanna. Scanning the Aiel around the canyon he could see shaken faces, for all they had chosen to stay. What must those who had run be like? Yet the Aiel were only a means to an end. He had to remember that. I have to be even harder than they.
Jeade’en waited beside the ledge with Mat’s gelding. Motioning Natael to stay close, Rand climbed into the saddle, coat-wrapped bundle secure under his arm. Mouth twisted, the once Foresaken came to stand by his left stirrup. Adelin and her remaining Maidens leaped down to form around them, and surprisingly, Aviendha climbed down to take her usual place on his right. Mat jumped to Pips’s saddle in one bound.
Rand looked back up at the people on the ledge, all of them watching, waiting. “It will be a long road back.” Bael turned his face away. “Long, and bloody.” The Aiel faces did not change.  “When the rest of the clan chiefs come, it begins.”
“It began long ago,” Rhuarc said quietly. “The question is where and how it ends.”
For that, Rand had no answer. Turning the dapple, he rode slowly across the canyon, surrounded by his peculiar retinue.  The night’s cold was already coming on.
And when the blood was sprinkled on ground where nothing could grow, the Children of the Dragon did spring up, the People of the Dragon, armed to dance with death. And he did call them forth from the wasted lands, and they did shake the world with battle.
