ever。 Not yet。 Moraine's story�察�though�此�there was no avoiding that。
       ;Now that's a tale to make a gleeman proud�察─�Tam muttered when he was done。 ;What would Trollocs want with you boys�拭�Or the Dark One�察�Light help us�拭�
       ;You think she was lying�拭�Master al'Vere said she was telling the truth about only two farms being attacked。 And about Master Luhhan's house�察�and Master Cauthon's。;
       For a moment Tam lay silent before saying�察 �Tell me what she said。 Her exact words�察�mind�察�just as she said them。;
       Rand struggled。 Who ever remembered the exact words they heard�拭�He chewed at his lip and scratched his head�察�and bit by bit he brought it out�察�as nearly as he could remember。 ;I can't think of anything else�察─�he finished。 ;Some of it I'm not too sure she didn't say a little differently�察�but it's close�察�anyway。;
       ;It's good enough。 It has to be�察�doesn't it�拭�You see�察�lad�察�Aes Sedai are tricksome。 They don't lie�察�not right out�察�but the truth an Aes Sedai tells you is not always the truth you think it is。 You take care around her。;
       ;I've heard the stories�察─�Rand retorted。 ;I'm not a child。;
       ;So you're not�察�so you're not。; Tam sighed heavily�察�then shrugged in annoyance。 ;I should be going along with you�察�just the same。 The world outside the Two Rivers is nothing like Emond's Field。;
       That was an opening to ask about Tam going outside and all the rest of it�察�but Rand did not take it。 His mouth fell open�察�instead。 ;Just like that�拭�I thought you would try to talk me out of it。 I thought you'd have a hundred reasons I should not go。; He realized he had been hoping Tam would have a hundred reasons�察�and good ones。
       ;Maybe not a hundred�察─�Tam said with a snort�察 �but a few did e to mind。 Only they don't count for much。 If Trollocs are after you�察�you will be safer in Tar Valon than you could ever be here。 Just remember to be wary。 Aes Sedai do things for their own reasons�察�and those are not always the reasons you think。;
       ;The gleeman said something like that�察─�Rand said slowly。
       ;Then he knows what he's talking about。 You listen sharp�察�think deep�察�and guard your tongue。 That's good advice for any dealings beyond the Two Rivers�察�but most especially with Aes Sedai。 And with Warders。 Tell Lan something�察�and you've as good as told Moiraine。 If he's a Warder�察�then he's bonded to her as sure as the sun rose this morning�察�and he won't keep many secrets from her�察�if any。;
       Rand knew little about the bonding between Aes Sedai and Warders�察�though it played a big part in every story about Warders he had ever heard。 It was something to do with the Power�察�a gift to the Warder�察�or maybe some sort of exchange。 The Warders go all sorts of benefits according to the stories。 They healed more quickly than other men�察�and could go longer without food or water or sleep。 Supposedly they could sense Trollocs�察�if they were close enough�察�and other creatures of the Dark One�察�too�察�which explained how Lan and Moiraine had tried to warn the village before the attack。 As to what the Aes Sedai got out of it�察�the stories were silent�察�but he was not about to believe they did not get something。
       ;I'll be careful�察─�Rand said。 ;I just wish I knew why。 It doesn't make any sense。 Why me�拭�Why us�拭�
       ;I wish I knew�察�too�察�boy。 Blood and ashes�察�I wish I knew。; Tam sighed heavily。 ;Well�察�no use trying to put a broken egg back in the shell�察�I suppose。 How soon do you have to go�拭�I'll be back on my feet in a day or two�察�and we can see about starting a new flock。 Oren Dautry has some good stock he might be willing to part with�察�with the pastures all gone�察�and so does Jon Thane。;
       ;Moiraine 。。。 the Aes Sedai said you had to stay in bed。 She said weeks。; Tam opened his mouth�察�but Rand went on。 ; And she talked to Mistress al'Vere。;
       ;Oh。 Well�察�maybe I can talk Marin around。; Tam did not sound hopeful of it�察�though。 He gave Rand a sharp look。 ;The way you avoided answering means you have to leave soon。 Tomorrow�拭�Or tonight�拭�
       ;Tonight�察─�Rand said quietly�察�and Tam nodded sadly。
       ;Yes。 Well�察�if it must be done�察�best not to delay。 But we will see about this 'weeks' business。; He plucked at his blankets with more irritation than strength。 ;Perhaps I'll follow in a few days anyway。 Catch you up on the road。 We will see if Marin can keep me in bed when I want to get up。;
       There was a tap at the door�察�and Lan stuck his head into the room。 ;Say your goodbyes quickly�察�sheepherder�察�and e。 There may be trouble。;
       ;Trouble�拭─�Rand said�察�and the Warder growled at him impatiently。
       ;Just hurry� �
       Hastily Rand snatched up his cloak。 He started to undo the sword belt�察�but Tam spoke up。
       ;Keep it。 You will probably have more need of it than I�察�though�察�the Light willing�察�neither of us will。 Take care�察�lad。 You hear�拭�
       Ignoring Lan's continued growls�察�Rand bent to grab Tam in a hug。 ;I will e back。 I promise you that。;
       ;Of course you will。; Tam laughed。 He returned the hug weakly�察�and ended by patting Rand on the back。 ;I know that。 And I'll have twice as many sheep for you to tend when you return。 Now go�察�before that fellow does himself an injury。;
       Rand tried to hang back�察�tried to find the words for the question he did not want to ask�察�but Lan entered the room to catch him by the arm and pull him into the hall。 The Warder had donned a dull gray´green tunic of overlapping metal scales。 His voice rasped with irritation。
       ;We have to hurry。 Don't you understand the word trouble�拭�
       Outside the room Mat waited�察�cloaked and coated and carrying his bow。 A quiver hung at his waist。 He was rocking anxiously on his heels�察�and he kept glancing off toward the stairs with what seemed to be equal parts impatience and fear。 ;This isn't much like the stories�察�Rand�察�is it�拭─�he said hoarsely。
       ;What kind of trouble�拭─�Rand demanded�察�but the Warder ran ahead of him instead of answering�察�taking the steps down two at a time。 Mat dashed after him with quick gestures for Rand to follow。
       Shrugging into his cloak�察�he caught up to them downstairs。 Only a feeble light filled the mon room�察�half the candles had burned out and most of the rest were guttering。 It was empty except for the three of them。 Mat stood next to one of the front windows�察�peeping out as if trying not to be seen。 Lan held the door open a crack and peered into the inn yard。
       Wondering what they could be watching�察�Rand went to join him。 The Warder muttered at him to take a care�察�but he did open the door a trifle wider to make room for Rand to look�察�too。
       At first he was not sure exactly what he was seeing。 A crowd of village men�察�some three dozen or so�察�clustered near the burned´out husk of the peddler's wagon�察�night pushed back by the torches some of them carried。 Moiraine faced them�察�her back to the inn�察�leaning with seeming casualness on her walking staff。 Hari Coplin stood in the front of the crowd with his brother�察�Darl�察�and Bili Congar。 Cenn Buie was there�察�as well�察�looking unfortable。 Rand was startled to see Hari shake his fist at Moiraine。
       ;Leave Emond's Field� ─�the sour´faced farmer shouted。 A few voices in the crowd echoed him�察�but hesitantly�察�and no one pushed forward。 They might be willing to confront an Aes Sedai from within a crowd�察�but none of them wanted to be singled out。 Not by an Aes Sedai who had every reason to take offense。
       ;You brought those monsters� ─�Darl roared。 He waved a torch over his head�察�and there were shouts of�察 �You brought them� ─�and ;It's your fault� ─�led by his cousin Bill。
       Hari elbowed Cenn Buie�察�and the old thatcher pursed his lips and gave him a sidelong glare。 ;Those things 。。。 those Trollocs didn't appear until after you came�察─�Cenn muttered�察�barely loud enough to be heard。 He swung his head from side to side dourly as if wishing he were somewhere else and looking for a way to get there。 ;You're an Aes Sedai。 We want none of your sort in the Two Rivers。 Aes Sedai bring trouble on their backs。 If you stay�察�you will only bring more。;
       His speech brought no response from the gathered villagers�察�and Hari scowled in frustration。 Abruptly he snatched Darl's torch and shook it in her direction。 ;Get out� ─�he shouted。 ;Or we'll burn you out� �
       Dead silence fell�察�except for the shuffling of a few feet as men drew back。 Two Rivers folk could fight back if they were attacked�察�but violence was far from mon�察�and threatening people was foreign to them�察�beyond the occasional shaking of a fist。 Cenn Buie�察�Bili Congar�察�and the Coplins were left out front alone。 Bili looked as if he wanted to back away�察�too。
       Hari gave an uneasy start at the lack of support�察�but he recovered quickly。 ;Get out� ─�he shouted again�察�echoed by Darl and�察�more weakly�察�by Bili。 Hari glared at the others。 Most of the crowd failed to meet his eye。
       Suddenly Bran al'Vere and Haral Luhhan moved out of the shadows�察�stopping apart from both the Aes Sedai and the crowd。 In one hand the Mayor casually carried the big wooden maul he used to drive spigots into casks。 ;Did someone suggest burning my inn�拭─�he asked softly。
       The two Coplins took a step back�察�and Cenn Buie edged away from them。 Bili Congar dived into th
