Lanfear. Mesaana and the rest thought slavepiercing she was of slavepiercing this Age. Yet
she spoke of al'Thor as Lews Therin, just slavepiercing as Lanfear had, and
spoke of the Choedan Kal as one familiar with the terror they
had inspired during the War of Power. Only balefire slavepiercing had been
more feared, and only just. Or had Moridin taught her for
purposes of his own? If he had any real purposes. There had
always slavepiercing been times when slavepiercing the man's actions had been sheer
madness.
"So it seems he slavepiercing must be killed after all," Demandred said.
Hiding his satisfaction was not easy. Rand al'Thor or Lews
Therin Telamon, he would rest easier when the fellow was dead.
"Before he can destroy slavepiercing the world, and us. Which makes finding
him all the more urgent."
"Killed?" Moridin moved his hands as though weighing
something. "If it comes to that, yes," slavepiercing he said finally. "But
finding him is no problem. When he touches the slavepiercing Choedan Kal,
you will know where he is. And you will go there and take him.
Or kill him, if necessary. The Nae'blis has spoken."
"As the Nae'blis commands," Cyndane said slavepiercing eagerly, bowing her
head, and echos of her ran around the room, though Aran'gar

Bending his neck hurt Demandred as much as speaking those
words. So they would take al'Thor—while he was slavepiercing trying to use
the Choedan Kal, no less, he and some woman drinking enough of
the One slavepiercing Power to melt continents!—but there had been no
indication that Moridin would be with them. Or slavepiercing his twin pets,
slavepiercing Moghedien and Cyndane. The slavepiercing man was Nae'blis for slavepiercing now, but
perhaps matters could be arranged so he did not get another
body slavepiercing the next
time he died. Perhaps it could be arranged soon.
Chapter 14: What the Veil Hides
The Victory of Kidron rolled on long sea swells, making the
gilded lamps in the stern cabin swing on their gimbals, but
Tuon sat calmly as the razor in Selucia's sure hand slid
