ee it would be another day�察�perhaps more�察�before they came to any decision�察�and somehow 。。。 somehow I was sure we did not dare wait that long。 So I called the Women's Circle together and told them what had to be done。 I cannot say they liked it�察�but they saw the right of it。 And that is why I am here�察�because the men around Emond's Field are stubborn wool´heads。 They're probably still arguing about who to send�察�though I left word I would take care of it。;
       Nynaeve's story explained her presence�察�but it did nothing to reassure him。 She was still determined to bring them back with her。
       ;What did she say to you in there�拭─�he asked。 Moiraine would surely have covered every argument�察�but if there was one she had missed�察�he would make it。
       ;More of the same�察─�Nynaeve replied。 ;And she wanted to know about you boys。 To see if she could reason out why you 。。。 have attracted the kind of attention you have 。。。 she said。; She paused�察�watching him out of the corner of her eye。 ;She tried to disguise it�察�but most of all she wanted to know if any of you was born outside the Two Rivers。;
       His face was suddenly as taut as a drumhead。 He managed a hoarse chuckle。 ;She does think of some odd things。 I hope you assured her we're all Emond's Field born。 ;
       ;Of course�察─�she replied。 There had only been a heartbeat's pause before she spoke�察�so brief he would have missed it if he had not been watching for it。
       He tried to think of something to say�察�but his tongue felt like a piece of leather。 She knows。 She was the Wisdom�察�after all�察�and the Wisdom was supposed to know everything about everyone。 If she knows�察�it was no fever´dream。 Oh�察�Light help me�察�father��
       ;Are you all right�拭─�Nynaeve asked。
       ;He said 。。。 said I 。。。 wasn't his son。 When he was delirious 。。。 with the fever。 He said he found me。 I thought it was just 。。。; His throat began to burn�察�and he had to stop。
       ;Oh�察�Rand。; She stopped and took his face in both hands。 She had to reach up to do it。 ;People say strange things in a fever。 Twisted things。 Things that are not true�察�or real。 Listen to me。 Tam al'Thor ran away seeking adventure when he was a boy no older than you。 I can just remember when he came back to Emond's Field�察�a grown man with a red´haired�察�outlander wife and a babe in swaddling clothes。 I remember Kari al'Thor cradling that child in her arms with as much love given and delight taken as I have ever seen from any woman with a babe。 Her child�察�Rand。 You。 Now you straighten up and stop this foolishness。;
       ;Of course�察─�he said。 I was born outside the Two Rivers。 ;Of course。; Maybe Tam had been having a fever´dream�察�and maybe he had found a baby after a battle。 ;Why didn't you tell her�拭�
       ;It is none of any outlander's business。 ;
       ;Were any of the others born outside�拭─�As soon as the question was out�察�he shook his head。 ;No�察�don't answer。 It's none of my business�察�either。; But it would be nice to know if Moiraine had some special interest in him�察�over and above what she had in the whole lot of them。 Would it��
       ;No�察�it isn't your business�察─�Nynaeve agreed。 ;It might not mean anything。 She could just be searching blindly for a reason�察�any reason�察�why those things are after you。 After all of you。;
       Rand managed a grin。 ;Then you do believe they're chasing us。;
       Nynaeve shook her head wryly。 ;You've certainly learned to twist words since you met her。;
       ;What are you going to do�拭─�he asked。
       She studied him�察�he met her eyes steadily。 ;Today�察�I am going to have a bath。 For the rest�察�we will have to see�察�won't we�拭�

Chapter 17
Watchers and Hunters
 
       After the Wisdom left him�察�Rand made his way to the mon room。 He needed to hear people laughing�察�to forget what Nynaeve had said and the trouble she might cause alike。
       The room was crowded indeed�察�but no one was laughing�察�though every chair and bench was filled and people lined the walls。 Thom was performing again�察�standing on a table against the far wall�察�his gestures grand enough to fill the big room。 It was The Great Hunt of the Horn again�察�but no one plained�察�of course。 There were so many tales to be told about each of the Hunters�察�and so many Hunters to tell of�察�that no two tellings were ever the same。 The whole of it in one telling would have taken a week or more。 The only sound peting with the gleeman's voice and harp was the crackling of the fires in the fireplaces。
       ; 。。。 To the eight corners of the world�察�the Hunters ride�察�to the eight pillars of heaven�察�where the winds of time blow and fate seizes the mighty and the small alike by the forelock。 Now�察�the greatest of the Hunters is Rogosh of Talmour�察�Rogosh Eagle´eye�察�famed at the court of the High King�察�feared on the slopes of Shayol Ghul 。。。; The Hunters were always mighty heroes�察�all of them。
       Rand spotted his two friends and squeezed onto a place Perrin made for him on the end of their bench。 Kitchen smells drifting into the room reminded him that he was hungry�察�but even the people who had food in front of them gave it little attention。 The maids who should have been serving stood entranced�察�clutching their aprons and looking at the gleeman�察�and nobody seemed to mind at all。 Listening was better than eating�察�no matter how good the food。
       ; 。。。 since the day of her birth has the Dark One marked Blaes as his own�察�but not of this mind is she ´ no Darkfriend�察�Blaes of Matuchin� �Strong as the ash she stands�察�lithe as the willow branch�察�beautiful as the rose。 Golden´haired Blaes。 Ready to die before she yields。 But hark� �Echoing from the towers of the city�察�trumpets blare�察�brazen and bold。 Her heralds proclaim the arrival of a hero at her court。 Drums thunder and cymbals sing� �Rogosh Eagle´eye es to do homage 。。。;
       ;The Bargain of Rogosh Eagle´eye; wound its way to an end�察�but Thom paused only to wet his throat from a mug of ale before launching into ;Lian's Stand。; In turn that was followed by ;The Fall of Aleth´Loriel�察─�and ;Gaidal Cain's Sword�察─�and ;The Last Ride of Buad of Albhain。; The pauses grew longer as the evening wore on�察�and when Thom exchanged the harp for his flute�察�everyone knew it was the end of storytelling for the night。 Two men joined Thom�察�with a drum and a hammered dulcimer�察�but sitting beside the table while he remained atop it。
       The three young men from Emond's Field began clapping their hands with the first note of ;The Wind That Shakes the Willow�察─�and they were not the only ones。 It was a favorite in the Two Rivers�察�and in Baerlon�察�too�察�it seemed。 Here and there voices even took up the words�察�not so off´key as for anyone to hush them。
       
;My love is gone�察�carried away
by the wind that shakes the willow��
and all the land is beaten hard
by the wind that shakes the willow。
But I will hold her close to me
in heart and dearest memory��
and with her strength to steel my soul��
her love to warm my heart´strings��
I will stand where we once sang��
though cold wind shakes the willow。;

       The second song was not so sad。 In fact�察 �Only One Bucket of Water; seemed even more merry than usual by parison�察�which might have been the gleeman's intent。 People rushed to clear tables from the floor to make room for dancing�察�and began kicking up their heels until the walls shook from the stomping and whirling。 The first dance ended with laughing dancers leaving the floor holding their sides�察�and new people taking their places。
       Thom played the opening notes of ;Wild Geese on the Wing�察─�then paused for people to take their places for the reel。
       ;I think I'll try a few steps�察─�Rand said�察�getting to his feet。 Perrin popped up right behind him。 Mat was the last to move�察�and so found himself staying behind to guard the cloaks�察�along with Rand's sword and Perrin's axe。
       ;Remember I want a turn�察�too�察─�Mat called after them。
       The dancers formed two long lines facing each other�察�men in one�察�women in the other。 First the drum and then the dulcimer took up the beat�察�and all the dancers began bending their knees in time。 The girl across from Rand�察�her dark hair in braids that made him think of home�察�gave him a shy smile�察�and then a wink that was not shy at all。 Thom's flute leaped into the tune�察�and Rand moved forward to meet the dark´haired girl�察�she threw back her head and laughed as he spun her around and passed her on to the next man in line。
       Everyone in the room was laughing�察�he thought as he danced around his next partner�察�one of the serving maids with her apron flapping wildly。 The only unsmiling face he saw was on a man huddled by one of the fireplaces�察�and that fellow had a scar that crossed his whole face from one temple to the opposite jaw�察�giving his nose a slant and drawing the corner of his mouth down。 The man met his gaze and grimaced�察�and Rand looked away in embarrassment。 Maybe with that scar the fellow could not smile。
       He caught his next partner as she spun�察�and whirled her in a circle before passing her on。 Three more women danced with him as the music gained speed�察�then he was back with the first dark haired girl for a fast promenade that changed the lines about pletely。 She was still laughing�察�and she gave him another wink。
       The scar´faced
