A Memory of Light/Chapter 48

== Summary ==
:
Elayne feels Rand's strength, control and determination through the bond and realises the end has come. 
She sees a bright light shoot into the sky.
:
From his rock, Thom sees a light shoot out of the cavern from within Shayol Ghul.
:
Min sees the light from Shayol Ghul burn away the clouds as she feels Rand's strength.
:
Aviendha, having survived the gateway explosion, sees the light and realises Rand is winning. 
Hessalam bows down before Aviendha and asks how she can serve, the compulsion she had been weaving when the unraveling gateway exploded having backfired on her, making her completely loyal to Aviendha.
:
After dealing with the Trollocs, Androl approaches and tells Logain that Polov Heights has been destroyed, meaning the Sakarnen is lost. He cannot wrap his head around why he gave up that type of power for people who will hate him - until he sees they are looking at him with awe, thanking and praising him and his Asha'man. One woman tells him she will have her son tested as soon as he is old enough to see if he has the talent. 
He feels the light from Shayol Ghul and Gabrelle hands him the Seals, telling him it is time. 
He breaks them.
