Disclaimer-I don't own WoT. I'd never have been able to make it as good as it is.
Ch 1
This is set later in the series, after Cadsuane has been made Rand's adviser. Don't remember off the top of my head where in the series that is. I'll add it I'm later when I remember.
Rand al'Thor stormed down the hall trailing a dozen Far Dareis Mai who were struggling to catch up. He skidded to a halt in front of the door at the end of the hall, glaring at it as if it had done him a personal wrong.
"Blood and ashes." He muttered under his breath. "Blood and bloody ashes." He couldn't believe the gall of the woman. He had made her his adviser, not his bloody mother. She had no grounds to make demands like that. What in the Light could be so bloody important that she had called him away from the throne room? And why was Alanna with her? She had better be able to explain why the bond had changed a few days ago.
He threw open the door, furious that they were wasting his time, then froze when he saw who was in there with Cadsuane. It was the Aiel woman who had been with Moraine, so long ago in Rhuidean. The one who had been discussing Ilyena.
Ilyena, forgive me!came a mournful cry from the back of his head. Rand quickly suppressed it. He did not want to have to deal with Lews Therin again.
Something was not right. He felt her, like he had felt Alanna before. It was impossible. Then, it occurred to him, the reason that the bond had changed. Alanna had passed in on to this stranger.
"Why are you here?" he demanded.
The stranger eyed him warily. "You know me?" she asked.
Rand snorted. "Of course I do. You were talking to Moraine in Rhuidean. You were discussing Ilyena. Not only that, you are both Aes Sedai and Wise One."
The stranger's brow furrowed. "You heard that conversation? So you know who I am?" she demanded.
"What do you mean by that?" Rand asked, puzzled. "I already said who you were, didn't I?"
The stranger sighed. "No, I mean who I really am. You know me, or rather Lews Therin knew me."
Rand stared at her. Now that she mentioned it, she did seem familiar, in a different way. It was not the way she looked that had spurred a memory, but the way she acted.
Rand racked his memory. Where had he met her before?
"I give up." He finally said. "Who are you?"
Latest installment. Not very good, as I did from notes I jotted down that I can only read half of. The notes, that is. Please R&R. Should the reborn Ilyena turn out to be a Darkfriend who betrays Rand? I personally don't think so, but some friend of mine thought it would be a good idea.
