and Will Not Die

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Rand and the Last Battle

Rand will not die. NOT DIE i said. Why does everyone believe this to be true. In every page of every on-line script I see where people say he will be reborn, reincarnated, revived by balefire, etc. Well that just ain't gonna happen. Let me try and draw a picture. Rand, the Dragon Reborn, must face the evil and horrible DO, somehow, at TG. He must battle in some way the powers that be and it is prophisized that he will die. Pllllbbbbbbb(sticking my toung out)to you who believe this. RJ is never this simple or plain spoken.

First, to talk to myself, noooooo Rand is not alone. He is never totally alone because he has his little friend(Tony Montonavoice) LTT is there, screaming for his final rest, ranting to be given the gift of death, demanding to end it all so that he may have his final dying death, the embrace of the mother,yadha yadha yadha. Rand will ....but in the end it will be LTT who will, through some sacrifice, save rand and the rest of the world, making up in some very small way for his part in the breaking and his Kinslayer tendicies. Who knows, the DO might even bring back Illenya, remember she died from LTT and not Balefire(I say this because we have never seen Balefire that can pick out targets, but we have seen others-Rand-pick out trollocs and Myrridal(sp) in Tear. So LTT bugs out, picks a fight somehow, and is seperated, torn (ala Mog and Birg) and killed. Whether you agree or not, I believe this theory a little more RJ than Rand coming back.

Lets say he lives, why not have an ending like the following, "Rand lay on the slope of Shayol Ghul tenderly probing the bleeding wound. I am done, I have done it, he giggles softly, I told you Illyena, I knew I could...Illyena, , Elayne, no, please no, leave me ALONE!, again he giggles. I must kill them all...no I must....kill Mat, he betrayed me, they all betrayed me. Fire burst out of the sky falling without target into the mass of Aiel warriors waiting below, YOU ALL BETRAYED ME! Then the fire ceased to exist, cries could be heard faintly from below him, and what seemed like a brilliant blue ball climbed upward. Stay away from me, Logain, Rand screamed from above rising to his feet. Eyes blinking, what have I done, his eyes scanned the armies below as the stench of burned flesh rose to meet him. Logain climbed to his side, the blue shield having dissappeared, tentatively touched Rands shoulder. I understand, was Rand's response, he shook his head slightly smiling. Did she send you to me? Yes, Logain responded, she knew you would see it, even after the fire began falling from the sky. Were many injured, Rand inquired. No answer. A gateway opened, and Logain stepped through. Rand glanced towards the closing threads and saw her smiling back at him, how long it had been. The armies below him quickly began moving South and West. Why Illyena, why did you leave...shutup! No what are you doing, again the voice asked, as Rand opened himself up further and further to the light, holding in his hand the 'gift' Logain had brought to him. The large statue resonated back to him, back and forth, back and forth, and then there was light. Light all round him, a madman screamed, and a column of the OP shot down from the heavens. What was known as Shayol Ghul dissappeared, everything dissappeared within a hundred miles. The last gateway had closed before Rand dissappeared in the light, and it also dissappeared.
