The Dragon Reborn (Book 3) – Chapter 2: “Saidin”

The Wheel of Time - Book 3 - The Dragon Reborn

Leya does not give a SHIT about the Dragon Reborn. She wants to talk to Moiraine ASAP about, you know, women stuff like makeup and Robert Pattinson. She moseys over to Moiraine’s lavish… uh… hut.

Min and Perrin talk about Min’s vision of Leya’s death. Perrin is like “LIGHT, we gotta stop that from happening. But BURN ME, we can’t!” And Min gets incredulous about this power she has that she doesn’t want. Nobody wants anything. Nobody wants to be ta’veren and no one wants special seer powers.

Loial the Goat Boy comes over to hear Min complain about being roped into all this nonsense, but Loial feels honored to be surrounded by such importance. He says he’s thinking about writing a book about it all (maybe he’ll call it the Wheel of Boredom).

Rand emerges from Moiraine’s hut all numb and weird. Apparently, Rand and Moiraine spend all their waking hours arguing with each other. The Shienarans, once skeptical of Rand’s role as the Dragon, are fellating him every chance they get. Even Uno, the jerk. Perrin tries talking to Rand, but he’s all weird about it. Laughing incredulously about being who he is (Mormon). They discuss Mat, Egwene, and Nynaeve in Tar Valon and they hope they’re ok.

Rand and Moiraine have been arguing about intervening at Almoth Plain where the Whitecloaks and Domani and Taraboners are fighting. Rand thinks they should, Moiraine thinks they shouldn’t, but Rand argues anyway even though he knows she’s right. He’s bitter about that. Rand’s bitter about everything these days. He’s no fun anymore. He was never any fun to begin with anyway!

Rand is going to face Ba’alzamon again one day, just like he does at the end of every book. All of a sudden, the world around them shakes. Rand is so overflowing with saidin that it must escape or he’ll, like, explode all over the place. The rest of the camp is injured and pissed following this mini earthquake. Perrin asks Rand to come join them for dinner, but he won’t. Perrin walks away.

Stupid Rand. I never liked that kid with his dumb red hair and his dumb gray eyes. Someone should One Power him off a cliff.
