A guardsman for the Dragon Reborn bellows 'He invites you to the portal stone on Toman Head Road to do so.'
A Strange Stone on the Plains
A few small trees have begun to grow here. Between two of the trees a large
lies a cylindrical hollow, with a stone column lying at its center, like a
king between two bodyguards. The trees themselves are still young and have
very little bark. The crashing of the waves of the Aryth Ocean can be heard
in the distance, reminding you of how close you are to the ocean.

A Dragonsworn scout touches a circle with a triangle inside.
A Dragonsworn scout touches another symbol.
A strange hum intensifies.
Suddenly, there is a bright flash of white light.
Far in the Braem Wood
An old chestnut tree stands here, in splendid isolation amidst the
thousands of oak-trees of every shape and variety. The bark of the tree is
old and gnarled, and its girth is wider that four trollocs' reach. More
oaks, characteristic of the Braem Wood, can be seen north, south and west.

Sevas drawls 'indee Dheth I mis spoke'
Dheth drawls 'Allow Lord Milian his questions.'
Milian drawls 'will you answer our questions saniago'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn nods at Dheth.
Milian drawls 'as has been said'
Milian drawls 'of all you say is true your power is impressive'
Milian drawls 'but it does not yet prove you are the true dragon reborn'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I will answer some questions, but not all.'
Gryfen chuckles politely.
Siuan Sanche murmurs 'Show them the marks, Lord Dragon.'
Milian drawls 'you may have tamed and fulfilled some prophecies or events in your world'

Sevas drawls 'herons?'
Micha is promptly choked just for good measure with all the marath'damane talk.
Siuan Sanche intones 'Twice and twice shall he be marked.'
Drosmux gasps in astonishment.
Shivar boggles at the thought.
Siuan Sanche says 'These are two of the markings.'
Milian drawls 'the first and most pressing question is, we have an Empress may she live forever. our prohecy states you will kneel befor the crystal throne. you claim to be emperor here so what would you kneel before our empress?'
Sevas drawls 'it was prophesised he would bear the mark of dragons was it not?'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I do not need to kneel before your Empress.'
Raefnal drawls 'May she live forever.'
Milian drawls 'why'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I am from the True World. Your world is a mere reflection of mine.'
Raefnal frowns.
Dheth drawls 'Twice and Twice i believe is what was spoken.'
Milian drawls 'and yet there are multiple icarnations of people from each world'
Gryfen drawls 'How is it that you know that ours is the reflection and yours isnt?'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'Therefore, having fulfilled the prophecies in mine, I don't need to fulfill them in yours.'
Shivar ponders life, the universe, and everything.
Wazabi drawls 'then how can you claim to be the Dragon in ours'
Gryfen nods at Wazabi.
Siuan Sanche raises a hand to stop the chattering.
Dheth frowns.
Gryfen asks Dheth a question.
Dheth drawls 'You will follow your Lord's lead Handler.'
Siuan Sanche says 'Just like in your world, his world has a Brown Ajah.'
Siuan Sanche says 'The research inclined marath'damane.'
Milian drawls 'this we are aware we have some leashed'
Siuan Sanche says 'They have established that his world is the True World.'
Siuan Sanche says 'You must also be aware that Aes Sedai cannot lie.'
Melayna snickers softly.
Gryfen drawls 'What proof of that is there?'
Sevas drawls 'Lord Milian, we cannot listen to the word of this mareth'damane'
Siuan Sanche says 'I am Aes Sedai.'
Milian drawls 'how do we know this is true if you are not of this world'
Gryfen drawls 'I agree with Lord Sevas'
Raefnal drawls 'My Lord Sevas, permission to speak?'
Sevas drawls 'your are mareth'damane'
Milian drawls 'how do we know you follow the same rules'
Sevas nods at Raefnal.
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'This world is merely a neutral ground for both of us.'
Milian drawls 'this we agree'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I have no place in your world, just like you have no place in mine.'
Raefnal drawls 'If this man means to become Emperor, does this not by default means he threatens the Empress, may She live forever?'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'My plan is to unite all worlds under the Dragon Banner in order to win the Last Battle.'
Gryfen points at Raefnal.
Dheth drawls 'These are questions best answered amongst ourselves after we have heard what this man has to say.'
Raefnal rubs her thumb along her blade absent-mindedly.
Milian drawls 'and where will the last battle be fought?'
Milian drawls 'which world?'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I am offering you the chance to unite the world under my banner. Once the Last Battle is done with, you may rule this world as you see fit.'
Raefnal drawls 'I would hear that he means no harm to the Blood before I trust his plans.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'In all worlds, simultaneously.'
Raefnal drawls 'Not trust... but listen. Deign to entertain.'
Milian drawls 'and if you are to fight in teh last battle how can you do that in all worlds simultaneously'
Dheth drawls 'Mandarb'a'shar, you will speak through Lord Sevas please.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'Girl, I have just said I have no wish to enter your world. Your Empress may remain the Empress.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I merely have to fight the Last Battle in the True World.'
Gryfen drawls 'My Lords, if i may...?'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'All united worlds will fight the Last Battle in -their- worlds.'
Milian drawls 'if the true world is the only that matter why concern with all other worlds'
Dheth drawls 'Not yet Handler.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'Shai'tan is present in all worlds.'
Sevas drawls 'Our Empress may She live forever will never agree to this.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'The hole in the Bore affects all worlds.'
Milian drawls 'but if you fught him in the true world he will not be in all worlds at the final battle?'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'His armies will be.'
Melayna nods in agreement.
Milian drawls 'his armies will be mere puppets that will be extinguished as he is if you are sucesful in the ture world as you say'
Siuan Sanche says 'That is incorrect.'
Milian drawls 'then i will need further explanation'
Siuan Sanche says 'Just because someone's life ended in his world, does not mean it ends in your world.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn looks weary.
Sevas strokes his chin thoughtfully.
Milian drawls 'we have prophecies that do not mention this and as such we require more proof'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says with an exasperated sigh 'You of all people should understand that fighting a war on multiple fronts is harder than on one front.'
Dheth drawls 'What is it precisely that you propose to happen in our world then? Your..posters..left little to the imagination.'
Sevas nods at Dheth.
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn snaps 'I have just explained that to you. Are you daft?'
Siuan Sanche keeps a smooth face.
Gryfen falls down laughing.
Grabel glares at Gryfen.
Milian drawls 'well the last question would be'
Sevas drawls 'and when the last battle is fought ,how would you show us your assistance? You will be in this would.'
Dheth drawls 'I am no lorekeeper or historian. And i do not keep my head in books. Perhaps I am daft.'
Gryfen shakes his head and sighs to Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn.
Sevas drawls 'you aare, to many bashed to the head.'
Milian drawls 'if nations refuse and you carry out your threat, there will be noone left on our world to fight the armies of the dark one'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I have already told you this also. Once the Last Battle is fought, you may rule your world as you see fit.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'My purpose, as the Dragon Reborn, is to figh at the Last Battle.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'My blood will flow on the slopes of Shayol Ghul.'
Milian drawls 'again we agree on this point'
Mithril says 'The Last Battle in your world. If you are fighting it there, you will not be fighting it here.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn rolls his eyes...sheesh!..
Shivar peers closely at Mithril, trying to figure her out.
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'I cannot imagine I am having to explain this to an army.'
Milian drawls 'the decision is not with us'
Mithril nods at Shivar.
Milian drawls 'we will report back to the empress and the decision will be hers'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'We will attack simultaneously in your world and in mine. The Dark One is omni-present. He will have to fight on all fronts, as do we.'
Sevas drawls 'Lord Milian, there are many questionsto be considered and answered. This must be taken to the Empress may Sheive forever.'
Milian nods in agreement.
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'You will either swear now, or you will be crushed.'
Wazabi drawls 'i wonder who would fight if everyone in our world gets crushed '
Gryfen peers closely at Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn, trying to figure him out.
Dheth drawls 'We are already Sworn to another, Torres.'
Dheth drawls 'Every one of us here.'
Mithril says 'May she live forever.'
Saniago Torres, the Dragon Reborn says 'Then you can die.'
The mole king tickles Milian's right foot with its smite.
And after Saniago and Siuan made their escape and the Braem Wood turned on the Seanchan, Seandar was raided by Torres' forces.
