A New Tapestry

Atop Dragonmount, Rand al'Thor chooses differently. However, when he turns the One Power against the Pattern, it doesn't break the Pattern. It merely burns away two years, effectively throwing Rand back in time. With his judgement no longer clouded by madness and equipped with Lews Therin's memories, Rand has a second chance, and he doesn't intend to waste it.
