* Mat *
As the others walked through the gateway, Mat hesitated. The dice were rolling in his head again. He wished they'd stop, but they never did, not until something big had happened. The last time that they had rolled was when he had met Tuon. That was certainly a large event, although it had puzzled him greatly at the time. Now that they were married he could no longer look at the serving women, but Tuon more than replaced them. He still gambled his money at dice a lot, but as usual he won a lot. He had been attacked a few days ago, one certainly upset gambler had said he was a darkfriend, also saying that Mat had the Dark One's own luck, and had pulled out a dagger and slashed Mat across the chest. Admittedly he had only ruined one of the old tunics that Mat had worn before becoming Tylins pretty, and he no longer wore those clothes, except to go gambling.
He turned around. There, creeping through the trees was Elyas Machera, Perrin's wolf-brother. (sorry guys, I dunno if mat and rand knew elyas, but for the sake of this they do.) Mat knew that he hadn't heard Elyas, but he had somehow sensed him. Maybe Perrin's hearing was rubbing off on him. Elyas joined them, muttered a few words, all that Mat could understand was "…see…wolf-brother's…birthplace..", but Rand nodded and gestured for Elyas to join them. When they were through the gateway that Egwene had made, he looked around. He had expected change, but not this much. The paddock they had Traveled to used to be far from the outskirts of the Two Rivers, but now it seemed that buildings reached almost to where Rand and Tam had lived.
They journeyed to where the roads seemed to be. Mat looked around, registering the foreign place within his mind. He could almost recognize it, and then he realized. The memories he had, the memories of other people, people long dead. They knew this place. It was Manetheren. It was obviously a lot more up to date, and looked a lot like Caemlyn, now that he thought of it, but it was certainly Manetheren. He turned his eyes to where the town used to be, and he could see Perrins banner, and also the flag of Manetheren. The journeyed to the center of the city, not a small village any longer, but a full city. They found Egwene's fathers inn, and walked through the doors.
____ al'Vere looked up, and the dice rolling stopped in Mat's head. He stood up, ran to hug Egwene, noticed the Amyrlin's stole on her shoulders, saw Nyneave with the hardest man he had ever seen and they were looking at each other lovingly. Then he noticed that Elayne, Nyneave and Egwene had Aes Sedai rings. Then he realized that there were other people in the room. Mat, with his medallion and Olver in tow, holding onto Tuon. Elyas with his bright yellow eyes, but he didn't mind that as he had known of Perrin's eyes also. Then he saw Rand. He called out to Tam al'Thor before he noticed that Rand had hardened and was no longer himself. He then saw the branded herons in his palms and the golden dragons on his arms. Tam walked in, noticed the same things as ____ with a quicker result. He called out to his adopted son, "You are the Dragon Reborn!" and ran screaming. Rand turned to the others and said quietly, "Well, that's not the homecoming I expected, but it's suitable." He turned, walked out, and Traveled, leaving the others to explain to ____.
Note- I don't know Egwene's father's name, it's been so long since I've read the first book. So it is replaced by ____. Sorry.
Please please please R/R!!!
