Setting: Amadicia

Summary[]

Point of view: Perrin Aybara

Perrin locates Dannil in the camp and decides that everybody, including the Mayeners and Ghealdanin, would head toward where the ambush had taken place in an attempt to catch up with the Shaido, and when he had a better idea of where he was going Grady or Neald would take them there through a gateway.

He learns from Gill that Tallanvor had gone off alone in search of the Shaido and that he had lied about getting permission from Perrin. He also learns from Gill that Lini is angry with him because of rumours that he had slept in Berelain's tent.

Selande approaches him to request she and her people have their horses back. He refuses and instead confronts her with the spying she had been doing for Faile. He uses the opportunity to get her to agree that she would do as he says until they get Faile back.

The camp was starting to empty but things came to halt at the sight of suspicious Aiel approaching. Perrin recognizes their Aiel allies, since they were all maidens and came with Alliandre's horse. Sulin gives him a bundle of his wife's clothes and informs him that Faile, along with Alliandre, Maighdin, Lacile, Arrela, Chiad and Bain were made gai'shain and were likely still alive. She also informs him that the Shaido were moving south.

Sulin shows him the collected arrows from the ambush. The number of arrows gives them some idea of the number of Shaido that were involved in the ambush along with some from other clans. She also shows him a child's doll and suggests it may be a whole sept (at least 1,000 spears) that have his wife captive. She reports seeing flying creatures and tracks from bear-like animals. He shares this with his men and orders them to travel 40 miles due south. He tells Neald to travel ahead, find Elyas and the other trackers, and tell them the plan.

Masema finds Perrin just at the right time. Perrin tells him to head east with his men. He briefly explains he's going south for Faile who had been captured by Aiel. Masema decides to also head south believing that killing Aiel would be "...doing the Light's work" even though it would mean using the One Power to travel.
