Fool's purpose was to move the wheel of time off it's track and set it on a new path. Many things needed to happen in order for that to occur. In the first trilogy, securing a Farseer heir was the 1st step. In the second trilogy, bringing the Dragons back was the 2nd step. And in the third trilogy, defeating the Pale Woman was the 3rd and final step. Fool had seen it since he was a young boy. The cold. The darkness. The moment when he would die, but die successfully because it meant his time was the new time, bringing the Pale Woman's attempt to destroy Time to an end.

I realized that. I was hoping you'd comment on what I said about the "why" above, though. Do you agree?
