The thought of leaving Egwene had his stomach in knots, but the Eye would be dangerous. He was dangerous.

He’d seen a map of the Westlands once, stacked among the books on Padan Fain’s cart. There had been so many blank spaces, places he could hide until—

Until the dreams came again, or a Fade found him as he slept. Until another Darkfriend tried to put a knife between his ribs.

Or until I go mad.
