Rand al'Thor follows the Green Man and the other Emond's Field folk as they stare at the beautiful forest around them. The Green Man attends his forest as they walk and plaits flowers into the hair of the Egwene, Nynaeve, and Moiraine. He leads them to the heart of his forest, where an arched opening embossed with the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai awaits. Inside resides the Eye of the World. He leads them, but refuses to enter, claiming that his unmaking is tied to the Eye.
