Chapter 1813

Eh, usually he has to leave people behind to finish a task. These people did the task with him, and on a comparable level to him.

Is it me or is Randidly a bit more emotional than usual. I could expect sadness from leaving the shades behind but not to the point of shedding a tear though.

Thanks for the chapter.

I wonder if it's on purpose or subconscious, but Puddles seems to be incorporating more and more life analogies into his writing. This whole thing Rand is doing on the mountain here is a perfect analogy for martial combat actually, but also extends to life. For the martial combat aspect, it is an aspect of know your enemy and yourself. You figure out your opponent's pattern, and you find the gaps in it, but it is not a good idea to keep dancing to your opponent's tune. You need to create your own pattern to counter theirs. Most people in the nexus who approach "the grand pattern" are dancing to the pattern's dictates. It very much reflects how they also dance along to the tune of the nexus. But, Randidly who is opposing the nexus is also the one to create his own tune when he takes on the grand pattern.

It kinda sounds more like he's being set up to evolve Glittering Leaves in this coming section, or during this rest period, with the emphasis on sunlight. If he evolves Absolute Grasp at all (it is at the transcendent rarity already, so it might not) then I expect it to happen in the fifth step, when he finally learns to fully control the natural energy and "grasp" it. Crucible will probably evolve when he reaches the summit, passing entirely through the crucible of the mountain. It could add a physical component + additional image suppression to the existing Skill, or maybe a way to reach the summit of the Eidolon Crucible. Finally, I think Exodus and Genesis are going to be the ones to incorporate the shades he encountered, making them "real" (Genesis) and leading them off of the mountain (Exodus). Imagine the ghosts of the people you killed attacking you at Rand's behest or something.

True… but at the same time, it’s kinda beautiful. At least the way it’s being told.

I’m guessing that he will evolve Reign of the Eidolon Crucible during this area, Absolute Grasp of Yggdrasil on the next area, and Glittering Leaves of Yggdrasil on the Summit after he encounters the pure sunlight.

Man. Leaving people behind to reach for the summit is kind of his whole life at this point.
