He picks up the fifth card and knows he possess an unbeatable hand and accidently blurts out something in the Old Tongue. A cock crows and suddenly, the card depicting the Amyrlin Seat stabs him with a tiny knife. He drops the cards, and unbelievably, three grow larger and the images begin to step out of the cards. Mat dispatches them all with rapid knife tosses. Seemingly defeated, Mat refuses to take chances and begins destroying each card. The others pretend that nothing happened, angering Mat. He thinks that he won't be gambling with these men for awhile and departs with his coin.

Point of view: Rand al'Thor Rand dreams of Moiraine prodding him to the Amyrlin Seat, and her halter for his neck, with a stick through a shadowy forest filled with dim shapes. Traps from Darkfriends and Forsaken await in the darkness. Fear mars Moiraine's face. Rand flees. He appears in the Waterwood back in the Two Rivers, where Min and Elayne invite him for a quiet swim before stripping in front of him. He turns around and spots Egwene with an expression of hurt on her face. Rand chases Egwene as he flees Min and Elayne, but stops when the other two ask him to come back. He stands frozen, unable to decide what he wants. Rand awakes and ponders how to handle his relationship with Egwene which he realizes must be at an end. Small sounds in the room make him realize that he is not alone. He prepares to channel through the sickening taint on saidin a power wrought sword. The intruder is not a thief trying to steal Callandor, not an assassin trying to kill the Dragon Reborn, but Berelain sur Paendrag Paeron, First of Mayene, dressed in a white silk robe that emphasized more than it hid. He tries to be a gentleman by asking her to leave a strange man's bedroom in the middle of night, but each of his excuses is rebuffed until he yells at the persistent woman. A cock crows, and Berelain's attention makes Rand look behind him. Across the room, one of the stand-mirrors threw his reflection back at him...The reflection stepped out onto the carpet, raising its sword. Other reflections step out of other mirrors and assault Rand. Their touch seems to drain his essence. The pieces that make him real. In desperation, he makes his sword disappear, causing the reflections to lose theirs. He clutches them with his hands, and with the help of Saidin, begins to absorb them, gaining strength with each destroyed reflection. After the battle, he recalls Berelain, and dismisses her with instructions not to tell anyone what happened. Weary to the bone, he sits with the Sword That Is Not a Sword and rests for a moment.
