The Dragon Reborn - Chapter 2 : Saidin

 




Ch.2 



Symbol : The symbol is the Dragon Fang. The chapter logo makes me think that trouble will be coming real soon dealing with the Dark One’s creatures and overall chaos in the camp making the boys flee for their own safety with Moiraine to guide and protect them (similar to The Eye of the World to some degree). 



Chapter title : The chapter title is called Saidin. The title makes me think shadowspawn will Invade the camp of The Dragon Reborn trying to kill Rand, Mat and Perrin and Rand will have no choice but to use the One Power to ward off the Shadowspawn from either killing or taking Perrin, Mat and Rand himself as prisoners for the Dark One or a dark one ( might not even be Ba’alzamon). 


Main Points of the Chapter (aka what I thought was important from the chapter) 


  • Mentioned characters (new characters) : Masuto


  • Min does a reading on Leya- can’t believe the reading said that she will die and she tells Perrin she also saw Leya covered in blood. I’m thinking it’s not her blood but someone else’s. 


- I’m theorizing Leya will go rogue and is or is already an assassin or crazy and try and kill someone with her being covered in their blood but not hers not at the Dragon Reborn camp. 

- I’m also starting to think Leya might potentially be the Tinker mentioned at the Darkfriend Social and might be a potential Darkfriend playing everyone. 

  • Perrin is contemplating telling Leya that she’ll die at some point and Rand thinks he can figure out whether  she’ll die by violence and he thinks it could mean an attack on the camp somehow. 


  • Perrin is thinking maybe he can figure out whether she’ll die if the camp is attacked or not. 


  • Min came from being an inn type girl to traveling alongside the group and had numerous times to turn back but she didn’t. That being said she’s probably not used to being with Tarveren let alone three of them and I bet Min thought she didn’t have a say in the matter but then Loial comforts her and is like it's all okay. 


  • Perrin shouts and expresses he probably never wanted to be tangled with Aes Sedai from the beginning. 


  • No one but Rand goes to the tunnel-like area after having arguments with Moiraine. I found this interesting and I feel we’ll see more of this in the future since we know they have been arguing over the same thing. 



  • The part where Rand for example raised the Dragon banner and now people are dying and Moiraine has said not to intervene really brought emotions. I can tell Rand thinks it’s partially his fault because he raised the banner and has done nothing but staying  in the mountains. 



  • I felt at the end of chapter two when Perrin mentions dreams this came to mind as potential foreshadowing. What I think the dreams will mean : I’m thinking the dreams will give Rand visions of how to do some things regarding being the Dragon Reborn and that it’s not something to be taken lightly and that his dreams might also be visions to some degree about how to do things Moraine has told him to avoid and take things into his own hands.


Afterthoughts 


  • I found the description of the Dragon jacket to be really cool and awesome.


  • When Rand channeled to create the earthquake was super awesome and that scene took me by surprise. I really hope that scene somehow makes it into the show.


Point of View at the end of the chapter 


  • This chapter is from the Point of View of Perrin.


- It ends when Perrin asks Rand if his dreams are okay and then Perrin leaves for the camp and Rand stays behind.

The Great Hunt - Chapter 29 : Seanchan

  Ch.29  Fill out after I read chapter  Symbol : It looks like some sort of helmet. It might go hand in hand with the chapter. This looks like a Seanchan helmet and could just be showing what helmets these people wear.  On the hardcover edition of TGH I’m starting to think the creature on top of the rocks is a Seanchan and same with the ones on the back cover.  Chapter title : The title of the chapter is Seanchan. This title is referring to the tribe of Seanchan and probably in particular the Captain, that's a woman.  Main Points of the Chapter   Mentioned characters : Geofram Bornhald, Byar, Muadh (Whitecloak questioner), Child Jeral, Child, Earwin, Child Wuan, Arthur Hawkwing Mentioned characters : Yarin, Caban, Turak  351,275 the watchers : “Bornhald pulled off his gauntlets and sat at one of the tables. He knew they called themselves the Seanchan, and Hailene. He had enough of the Old Tongue to know the the latter meant Those Who Come Before,...

The Dragon Reborn - Chapters 9-11

  Ch9 - Wolf Dreams  So Aes Sedai can have the power of Dreaming; so what does that mean?  In Perrin’s dream, Who was the bloody man? Oh no the next dream has  Lanfear in it; oh fucking shit this is really bad (there were white pointed archways that led into a bigger room with furniture carved, gilded and inlaid with ivory). This makes me think of the Place in Tear Rand  is trying to get to. Like a way of foretelling events that will eventually happen perhaps.  Page 115 - “ Run now! You must not be here now. Danger. Great Danger. Worse than all the Neverborn. You must go. Go now! Now! ” - I was thinking what “danger” was Hopper referring to in the dream; something horrible/terrifying will happen in the future to Perrin or someone else perhaps.  WTF would Hopper go for Perrin’s throat? We also think he’s dead, but is he really dead; or is this a vision of something terrible to come? But in reality Hopper was just trying to scare Perrin out of the dream...

The Great Hunt - Chapter 45 : Blademaster

Ch.45  - These questions were brought to you by the Gleeman’s Apprentice Podcast.   Nyneave  Nynaeve channeled at the collars of two damane and they fell to the ground.  Initial plan was: Ambush Sul'dam to get dress+a'dam -> one of the girls take dress other where collar -> go to Damane house New plan: Nynaeve just put a sack on the sul’dam’s head and collar the sul’dam’s neck and use the sacked sul’dam to get into the building with all the damane(where Egwene is being held) and they take the sack of the sul’dam’s head before going in.  Nyneave doesn’t want to collar Elayne.  And Nynaeve takes the sul’dam’s dress and they switched  clothes because the dress fit Nynaeve better and the sul’dam was dressed in a dress they prepared earlier to look like a damane dress.  Nynaeve has power over Seta. Seta promised not to tell anyone and she’s the leashed one.  Now they are headed to the a Lion’s Den ( aka where all the damane are kept)....
