The penalty of Deathgates
by sidious
KoD (Vows) - ”Where did we send those Trollocs? I just copied your weave exactly.” “It doesn’t matter where they went,” Rand said absently… “Shadowspawn can’t survive passing through a gateway.”… “People will find groups of dead Trollocs and maybe Myrddraal without a mark on them,” he said aloud.
The consequences of these Trollocs were probably terrible…
1. In Amador, ten Trolloc carcasses were piled in the centre of the Fortress of the Light, causing a frenzy among the Whitecloaks. Obviously interpreted as an Aes Sedai plot, the whitecloak army was gathered to attack Tar Valon for this act of heresy, which could only be attributed to the One Power. Several hundred Amadician citizens were put to the question in an attempt to find out who brought the smelly things into the Fortress. Galad was hanged for opposing this move.
2. In Seanchan, a dead Myrddraal was found sprawled on the Crystal Throne. Fifty damane were sacrificed to cancel out this evil omen. The Seanchan rebellion ended and the united forces of the continent invaded the Blight in Seanchan to quench the evil within.
3. In Tar Valon, Elaida became hysterical when seven Trollocs were found piled up on her desk in the Amyrlin’s chambers. Ordering twelve sisters into exile and three to the birch for not answering her questions sufficiently, the Tower was in disarray. The wards around the Tower were checked again, and the Blue ajah was disbanded for the second time, because clearly, this was their work. Egwene was sent to the study to be beaten because she was vaguely linked to the plot. The Black Ajah thought it was a warning from the Chosen to get their act together, and they killed at least three Sisters before Mesaana stopped them. Pevara thought it was a sign of an imminent attack by the Black Ajah on the Tower, and she and her friends linked and attacked the Black Ajah meeting. Out of the twenty-three Sisters who fought in that battle, only a hairpin and a finger could be found afterwards. The Tower guard was doubled.
4. Outside of Tar Valon, Romanda and Lelaine found three Myrddraal in the Sitter’s tent, and took it as a sign… Egwene al’Vere sleeps with the Myrddraal and is of the Shadow. They moved to have Elaida named as Black Ajah again, and Lelaine made a failed move to gain the title of Amyrlin. Sisters walked around carrying saidar again. The food went off again. Romanda’s romance novels were discovered.
5. In Shienar, three Trollocs found inside the public baths lead to the biggest defense initiative since the Trolloc Wars, causing hundreds of men to run to their deaths in a futile attack on the Blight. Once again, people were put to the question and some darkfriend confessions were obtained.
6. In the Aiel Waste, the adults let the little girls who wanted to be Maidens, take turns stabbing the Trolloc carcasses. An entire day was made of the finding. The Wise Ones muttered behind closed tents.
7. Demandred found three dead Trollocs in his garden in the Blight. He took it as a threat from al’Thor. Mobilising 90% of the Blight, Demandred marched the uncountable masses south.
8. The fifteen Trollocs found in the Stone of Tear were taken as a threat from Mayene, which was promptly annexed.
9. Shara found three Myrddraal carcasses and sold them off as Age of Legends relics to the Seanchan, who paid vast sums for them.
10. Thirty Trollocs were found inside the Black Tower. At least, they discussed whether there were thirty, or if they were Trollocs at all. As soon as a foreign gateway opened in the Black Tower, hundreds of male channelers hammered the intruders with the Power. Only patches of fur could be found afterwards.
11. One hundred and twenty Trollocs appeared on a Seafolk raker. It sank.
12. The Land of Madmen found a Trolloc. This unleashed another civil war (their five hundredth, at least). The Land was devastated again, with hundreds of male and female channelers killing one another. So much Power was used that some of the Forsaken Travelled there to see if the Choedan Kal were being used again. Mesaana attended this time.
13. Four Myrddraal went into Tel’aran’rhiod. Moghedien expelled two. Another one changed into a flower. The other one was eaten by a nightmare.
14. Ten Trollocs entered the lands of the Finn. There was mass panic. Moiraine raised an eyebrow, and her handcuffs chafed.
15. The Two Rivers, hungry for blood again, built their barricades again with shouts of Lord Perrin Goldeneyes. Nothing happened. The barricades were taken down.
16. Elayne found a Trolloc in her bedroom. At least, it used to be the library, and yesterday it was the pantry. Oh what the hell…
17. Hundreds of people all over the world were cut to pieces with huge gateways forming everywhere and racing toward them. Others were squashed when massive Trollocs fell on their heads. Others had their heads melted off when Fade blood fell on them.
18. Cadsuane and Rand moved around and cleaned up the mess at the farm. Indeed, they had thwarted the Shadow’s efforts. The world was safe, and unharmed.

19. 2 trollocs were found at the meetings to elect the new Mistress of the Ships. Everything was blamed on Zarine's poor deal making skills and now she will never be raised Mistress of the Ships. Min's foretelling fails and the wolds implodes. The world comes back in .0257 milliseconds (the creater has to blink sometimes) and the dragon is not reborn. The series ends. Everyone goes about and buys the new R.A. Salvatore book The B!tch King.

21. 1 Myrddraal was found in Maeyne. Berlaine started flirting with it, and it came back to life.

22.
1 Trolloc was found by a zomara cleaning up Moridin's study.
It tried to run to its Master, but forgot everything before reaching him.
Moridin nonetheless found the Trolloc later, sprawled on the chair in front of sha'rah board. Dropping its pet rat from shock, Moridin screamed : "Now THAT does it Demandred!" and seizing the True Power he prepared to Travel.
Disturbed by the noise from another room, Shaidar Haran put his embroidery loop aside a moment and mused - "Technically, that Trolloc is still in the Blight". He shrugged and went back to his work.
23.
13 Trollocs appeared in the Pit of Doom.
Shai'tan pondered it a moment, looked around a bit and said "HHMMM....YUMMY!".
When Moridin came a week later the whole Blight had emptied...
"Great Lord, have you seen Shaidar Haran lately - I need him to track Demandred?"
*CRICKETS SOUNDS*
"Hmmmm... you realize Great Lord we have no more army and you're now too fat to pass trough the Bore?"
"SORRY HONEY. I PROMISE NOT TO DO IT NEXT TIME."
