    Summary

    Saidin needed to be cleansed.

    It was an idea that had been niggling at the back of his mind for a while, and more insistently now that he was starting up this school. Training male channelers wouldn’t do the Light much good if they went mad before the Last Battle arrived. It was high time to stop just reacting to the problem and to instead address the root of it: the Dark One’s corruption.

    But how could it be removed? In three thousand years, nothing had been done about it. How could Rand think of a way to do it, if three thousand years’ worth of people far smarter than him hadn’t managed it?

    Maybe it’s not about intelligence, murmured the voice in the back of his mind. Maybe it’s about power. In three thousand years, nobody has been stronger than us.

    Rand didn’t let himself turn to see if there was a figure standing beyond his peripheral vision.
