A Wheel Of Time Memorable Moment
Book 3 The Dragon Reborn: Chapter 24 Scouting and Discoveries.

Mat comes upon Warders watching over their students sparring with practice swords, and notices a crowd of Aes Sedai and Accepted watching two particular students spar. Mat realizes that the women are watching Gawyn and Galad practice just as the Warder decides to give them a quick break. Gawyn and Galad catch sight of Mat and ask him if he's here to learn the sword. Mat replies that he is not and Gawyn says that everyone could do with knowledge of the sword. Mat says he doesn't need the sword, that he could do fine against both of them with his quarterstaff.

Mat bets Galad and Gawyn that he could beat them both at the same time with a quarterstaff, and they refuse, thinking they would have an advantage because Mat had been sick. The Warder training them, however, takes interest and orders them to the Yard. Mat selects a staff and says "Luck, time to toss the dice." The Warder seems interested that Mat can speak Old Tongue, and Mat realizes he unknowingly spoke it again. Within minutes of commencing the fight, Mat whacks Gawyn on the head and knocks him into a bleeding heap as Aes Sedai rush to attend him, giving Mat angry stares. Mat notes that Galad is better, almost as good as the Warders, but eventually knocks him to the ground and poses for a killing blow, barely stopping himself when he realized what he had been about to do.

The Warder then tells them that the greatest Blademaster of all time, Jearom, had been defeated only once, by a farmer with a quarterstaff and that they would do well to remember it. Mat collects his wager from Gawyn and decides to keep the staff. When the Warder asks, Mat first tells him he's from Manetheren, before correcting himself by saying the Two Rivers. He then hobbles back to the Tower.

This program is read by Audie Award-winning narrator Michael Kramer.
