Team B is with Rand and Moiraine, wainting him to recover. Team A rides back to Tar Valon.
We hear about how the other seen the fight between Satan and Rand: "You fough in the skies". What a bullshit nonsense. But I know it is worse than bullshit: it is a ripoff. Also, it is confirmed it was NOT Pdain Fain, he got away. The whole buildup of this volume collapses spectacularly every second. The chase did not work, the journey was without events, all stops were red herrings, and the ending just threw out everything on the window. Maybe RJ realised Padan is too good a character to "waste" here - doesn't save the decision.
Ah, Perrin is here too. And Loial.
The last chapter shows how myth work, and only one thing is certain: Rand gained infamy.
Now let's talk about that "fight in the sky" thingy. I know what this was ya know. We know Robert Jorden like to rip off things, has was a fanfic-artist, and not a good writer. We saw that, we know that. Now there is a book that has that scene in it, and several other items fits in the picture too: the "darkside" (chaos) twsted humans into animal-men. The many-voice substance that want to swallow you to add to its pool. The Horn (plus flag) that summons the dead. And especialy this giant(s) in the cloud moment. Hey, you know what question I have? Here is the Horn. Why not just blow it and conquere the whole planet? What prevents it? Because as far as I can tell - NOTHING. Unlike their original counterpart, these have zero restriction neither by power-limitation, or coming from personality. One factor being the characters have no personality. Compare the Horn to the Eye of Rynn and the Hand of Kwll. That worked. Robert Jordan tried to copy&paste them, but he was too inferior a writer to pull it out. You're not convinced? Let's talk about this God in the Sky moment. I KNOW where it comes from: the Swords of Corum, book 2, Queen of Swords. Lady Xiombarg shows up in the sky at the end of that book, the BBB of that novel, and prepares to cut the heroes in half (heck, the entire planet is she has to). But she is topped in the sky by an unexpected move. So you don't get the ending? No wonder, because it is ripped off from an actualy good book, and glued here without a second thought.
