The Path of Daggers/Chapter 29

Taim: “I will take this one with me, if you wish.”
Rand: “... I’ll take care of Fedwin. Fedwin Morr, Taim; not ‘this one.’ ”
==Summary==
Rand is sulking because Elayne tore down all of his banners and does not want his aid in securing the Lion Throne. Min encourages him to go visit Elayne in Caemlyn, but he won't give in. 
Sorilea brings five of the captured Aes Sedai in to where Rand and Min are arguing in front of the Sun Throne: Elza Penfell, Nesune Bihara, Sarene Nemdahl, Beldeine Nyram, and Erian Boroleos. She says all five have asked for the same beatings they gave him while holding him prisoner and all have asked to serve him however they can; but the choice is his whether or not to accept. One by one, Rand asks each woman why. After hearing their very different answers, he allows them to pledge fealty to him and orders them all to be made apprentices to the Wise Ones, like the others that had pledged fealty to him at first.
Rand is then told by Sorilea that Cadsuane is in the palace. He decides to visit her. He takes Min and Fedwin Morr with him and when they enter the hall there is a loud bang. Turning around they see his antechamber and bedroom burning and torn to rubble. Rand tells Morr to take care of Min.
Rand sets off down the hall seizing saidin. He sees Corlan Dashiva, Gedwyn and Rochaid. When they spot him, Dashiva attacks. Rand shields himself using some weave known probably just to Lews Therin, then attacks back with Fire but then can't find them again. Later Rand attacks Narishma, more or less consciously, and contemplates if he can blame Lews Therin for this.
Min is in a lower level of the Cairhienin palace watching Rand. Morr plays with wooden blocks. Min looks at him sadly knowing that the man who has protected her is now a boy in his mind. He is lost to himself with no chance of recovery.
Mazrim Taim comes in and Rand tells him to add Dashiva to the list of deserters who shall hang from the traitors' tree. Taim agrees as Rand gives Morr a wine cup with an herb in it that will kill him, to free him from his madness. Rand tells Taim to return to the farm, the Black Tower, and not to come back to Cairhien.
Rand says he has to go and Min replies that she is not going to leave him.
