Plot

Moiraine is used to being negatively received everywhere. A faithful guardian Lan follows her everywhere, protecting her from the invasion of the Dark One and his minions. The woman owns the powers of Aes Sedai and can use them, but tries not to show all her power in front of strangers. She arrived in the village out of necessity – she felt that there was a man who could destroy enemies.

Just then, the nearest bar was noisy, celebrating Egwene’s reincarnation. The girl has been dating a guy named Rand for a long time, but having magic means always being lonely. Girls braided their braids before initiation. The braid was believed to contain the strength of her sisters. And if she feels that she is not needed by anyone, then she can take up the braid and remember that she is not alone.

Rand is saddened by the events, but there is no other way out – he will have to let go of his beloved. The only distraction was the presence of Moiraine. She was looking through the eyes of someone who is capable of influencing the future fate of mankind. But her attempts were in vain. She could not read information from people who came across on the way. And there was not much time – the messengers of the Dark side appeared.
