Her eyes widened and she quickened her pace to almost a run. “What happened?” She asked Wynn. “Is TAAron okay? And Nameless and you?” "Who are you?" Lerac asked. "I'm being told that I had my body controlled and tried to kill everyone. I'm not sure I believe it, though." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I hate to interrupt, but I think we have more important things to do than discuss Haly's love interests.

"You gonna tell or not?" "Okay. if you're certain, I'll continue." Nameless sat down in front of Wynn, drawing in saidin and summoning a small flame above his palm. "I was born after the events of the series. The taint was cleansed, the Dark One defeated. I went to the Black Tower to train, which was a much nicer place by that time, and at first things went well. It turned out I had a talent for gateways, although my talent for them seemed... different. There was another man in the tower with a talent for making gateways, and even though should have been too weak in the Power to make them, he could make them larger than all but the most powerful Asha'man, and faster than any channeler I've ever met. I shared that speed, but not his ability to make gateways larger than his ability in the Power should have allowed. At the time, I figured that my talent was just different from his. My training proceeded well, and for a while I was content to ignore that difference. Eventually, after I became a full Asha'man, I started to wonder. I couldn't make abnormally large gateways, but I realized that I could travel to places I knew well from anywhere, even if I didn't know the area. Something that's supposed to be impossible. Every channeler I've met besides myself has to know an area well before they can travel from it, no matter what their location was. Anyways, I figured out that I can make gateways that go further than other people. I can make gateways into space, between planets. I even figured out how to travel into the World of Dreams with a gateway without anyone else's help. In the end, it was my own stupidity that got the best of me. I wanted to see if I could make a gateway outside of the Pattern, so I grabbed an angreal, went to a place I knew really well, and tried it. To my own misfortune, I managed to make a gateway to the void between worlds. I went through it and got lost in the nothingness for a while before eventually coming out on Earth."
