Rand wakes up five days East of Falme, and comes to accept that he is the Dragon Reborn.
Rand wakes up five days later. Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne have gone back to Tar Valon with Verin and Mat. But Min stayed with him, and so did Perrin and Loial. Moiraine and Lan have resurfaced as well, and have been traveling East with him. Rand’s battle with Ba’alzamon was visible in the sky for miles around Falme, and Moiraine shows him an artist’s depiction of the event as proof. The Shienarans, having witnessed Rand’s duel with Ba’alzamon, pledge their lives to him. Moiraine says that three of the seven seals on the Dark One’s prison are broken now. The Last Battle is coming, and the Dragon Reborn is the world’s only hope of standing against the shadow. Will he rise to the occasion? Of course he will.
