“In that case, we should probably loot their storeroom to the ground then cripple their organization while pointing them at the Blight.” Willow smiled coldly as she thought about the Whitecloaks and the torturers they employed. All things considered, they’re not worth the hassle of saving.” Dawn thought about the idiots that had attacked her and Tara as they walked through the living room and stepped through the doorway onto her island.

“The battle basically came down to Lan and Dad’s armies and the channelers on our side against everything the Dreadlords could throw at us while uncle Rand confronted the Dark One. Sure, some of them had fought in the Last Battle under Galad but it wasn’t like they’d been any more effective than the rest of the mundane soldiers and they’d all contributed to the death of innocent people by being part of the organization. How useful were they in the Last Battle?” “More or less useless,” Willow replied as they walked into the shop. “Fair enough, I feel the same way about the White Cloaks.

“Stealing doesn’t bother you does it?” “Not when the people I’m stealing from want to rule the world with an iron fist or kill everyone that looks at them funny.” Willow didn’t see a point in telling her mother’s alternate that she was planning on crushing the Seanchan Empire before they could be a problem for the rest of the world even if it meant plunging Seanchan into civil war. “I’m not going to burn the boats before I loot them, that’s just silly and wasteful.” Dawn shook her head. “Any idea how we’re going to feed everyone?” Willow smirked.

Have you figured out how to deal with the Seanchan?” Dawn asked as she started walking toward the building that contained the portal to her island. “If you hadn’t taken the ter’angreal in the Kin’s stash, one of the Forsaken would have found it using the world of dreams.” “Doesn’t make it right, just makes it better than leaving it. “I have morals, I just know what’s at stake,” Willow explained as she followed Dawn through the gateway then let it close behind her. “More like borrowing, you can always give it back after you figure out how to duplicate it.” “I’m guessing the other version of me forgot to teach you morals?” Dawn asked with a touch of exasperation as she walked through Willow’s gateway and looked around the burned out town. “This still feels like stealing.” Willow shook her head. Dawn frowned slightly as the guys hauled the last of the boxes filled with odds and ends through Willow’s gateway.
