! __Perrin__ POV

[Tallanvor|Martyn Tallanvor] mediates three days of discussions between [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and Banner-General [Tylee Khirgan]. In the end she agrees that [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]'s plan for rescuing [Faile|Zarine Bashere] and getting rid of the [Shaido] is the best. The [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] are extremely touchy about protocol. To start the plan, [Neald|Fager Neald] opens a gateway from [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]'s camp to the town of [Almizar] in southwest [Amadicia]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] rides [Stayer] accompanied by [Balwer|Sebban Balwer] and twelve of [Faile|Zarine Bashere]'s followers. He did not bring [Aram] because he will blab to [Masema|Masema Dagar]. [Khirgan|Tylee Khirgan] is accompanied by [Mishima|Bakayar Mishima], a %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%% and %%ot [damane|Seanchan (People)]%%, and twelve [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] soldiers. 

[Faile|Zarine Bashere] has been prisoner fifty-one days. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] is sure she must be alive because [Alyse|Galina Casban] is protecting her.[1] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] thinks of [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] and sees an image of him riding into a forest. There are numerous [Tinker|TuathaAn] caravans camped near the town.[2] [Elyas|Elyas Machera] told him that such large gatherings are rare except at their annual [Sunday|Calendar] meeting. [Neald|Fager Neald] scoffs at the [TuathaAn] for cowards but [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] defends them telling how they protected the children when [Trollocs] attacked [Emond's Field|Emonds Field]. 

[Balwer|Sebban Balwer] and [Medore|Medore Damara] slip away to scout the town. There is a %%ot [raken]%% landing field just north of town. [Carlon Belcelona] holds [Stayer] and [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] enter a large farmhouse that serves as the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] military headquarters. The commander is Captain [Blasic Faloun]. 

As [Khirgan|Tylee Khirgan] asks to speak with him in private, a clerk named [Mehtan] vomits beetles until only his skin is left. Everyone is in terror shouting that it is [Soulblinder|ShaiTan]'s work. [Faloun|Blasic Faloun] orders another clerk, [Atal], to clean up the mess then escorts the newcomers to his office. [Khirgan|Tylee Khirgan] demands some of his fliers and, after [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] shows [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath]'s letter, they agree on four %%ot [raken]%% and twelve %%ot [morat'raken|Seanchan (People)]%%. [Faloun|Blasic Faloun] also happens to have a fine map of [Altara] that he gives them. 

[Camaille|Camaille Nolaisen] and [Barmanes|Barmanes Nolaisen] wait for [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] outside. Now they head into town to get [forkroot|Herbs] and %%ot [a'dam|aDam]%%. [Balwer|Sebban Balwer] has not yet learned who rules [Amadicia] now that [Ailron] is dead. There are [Hunters of the Horn|Horn of Valere] in town. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] recalls that [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] had the [Horn of Valere] carried to the [White Tower]. A man notices [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]'s eyes and darts away.[3] [Khirgan|Tylee Khirgan] leads them to a stone stable. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Khirgan|Tylee Khirgan] enter. It is a [forkroot|Herbs] manufactory. Using [Suroth|Suroth Sabelle Meldarath]'s letter they convince the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] noble in charge to give them all the prepared [forkroot|Herbs], almost five thousand pounds. As they leave, [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] turns in his saddle just as an arrow glances off his chest and pierces his arm.[3] [Mishima|Bakayar Mishima] takes off for the men on top of a nearby building. [Camaille|Camaille Nolaisen] and [Barmanes|Barmanes Nolaisen] remove the arrow and [Khirgan|Tylee Khirgan] apologizes for not protecting him better. [Neald|Fager Neald] comes forward but [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] tells him to wait till later. [Khirgan|Tylee Khirgan] is shocked that he would let someone use the [One Power] on him. [Mishima|Bakayar Mishima] returns. The men on the roof took poison and are already dead. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] thinks it might be the [Forsaken]. They head for an inn so [Neald|Fager Neald] can [Heal|Weaves#h] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara].
