! __Perrin__ POV

At dawn of the second day of the [Feast of Lights|Calendar] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] is with [Gaul] and [Loial]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] has a new horse from the [Sun Palace] stable. He names him [Stayer]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] pays a ferryman, [Manal], to take them across the [Alguenya River]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] got very mixed emotions from [Faile|Zarine Bashere] when he left. She wrapped [Rand|Rand alThor]'s sword for him to take. [Rhuarc] convinced [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] not to go. 

On the other side of the river, they join [Dobraine|Dobraine Taborwin] and five hundred of his men of House [Taborwin|Cairhien] and [Havien Nurelle] who leads two hundred [Mayener|Mayene] [Winged Guards|Mayene]. They have four days to make up. They head north on the [Tar Valon Road]. At midday, [Rhuarc], [Nandera], [Sulin], [Amys] and [Sorilea] join them. [Rhuarc] leads six thousand [Aiel] including a thousand [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear]. There are also ninety-four [Wise Ones|Aiel]. [Rhuarc] says he could not bring more and still maintain secrecy. [Timolan] is already suspicious about [Rhuarc] not joining him to go against the [Shaido]. They make thirty-five miles the first day. 

That night, [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] calls the wolves for information. He contacts [Two Moons], [Wildfire], [Old Deer], [Half Tail], [Rabbit Nose] and [Morning Clouds]. The wolves can identify [Aes Sedai]. They know where the [Aes Sedai] camp is, and [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] figures it is sixty or seventy miles. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] tells the wolves that the [Aes Sedai] have caged [Shadowkiller|Rand alThor] and the wolves howl in rage.

[Perrin|Perrin Aybara] follows for four more days. When they are camped, [Loial] tells [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] what he knows about men and [channeling|True Source]. [Elora daughter of Amar daughter of Coura|Elora] during [Hawkwing|Artur Hawkwing]'s time and [Ledar son of Shandin son of Koimal|Ledar] three hundred years ago wrote about [channeling|True Source]. By law, men must be taken to the [White Tower] for trial before [gentling|stilling]. [Loial] thinks there are lots more than six [Aes Sedai] ahead. He tells stories of [Caraighan Maconar], [Yurian Stonebow], [Guaire Amalasan], [Raolin Darksbane] and [Davian]. [Loial] also talks about [Erith]. He thinks she is beautiful. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] talks about [Faile|Zarine Bashere]. [Dobraine|Dobraine Taborwin] and [Nurelle|Havien Nurelle] get along well. [Nurelle|Havien Nurelle] also gets along well with the [Aiel], particularly [Gaul]. [Urien] is second in command of the [Aiel]. [Sorilea] now accepts [Amys] as a near equal. 

On the seventh day the wolves report a new party of men nearby. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] goes to meet the [Two Rivers] men. They brought [Stepper] and [Swallow] with them. [Dannil|Dannil Lewin] and [Aram] ride out to meet him. There are nine [Aes Sedai] with them including [Alanna|Alanna Mosvani], [Verin|Verin Mathwin], [Bera|Bera Harkin], [Kiruna|Kiruna Nachiman], [Merana|Merana Ambrey] and [Masuri|Masuri Sokawa].[1] [Kiruna|Kiruna Nachiman] rides a fierce gelding trained as a warhorse.[2] [Alanna|Alanna Mosvani] is leading them to [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] tells them that [Coiren|Coiren Saeldain] and her party kidnapped [Rand|Rand alThor]. They all smell angry and afraid. [Bera|Bera Harkin] and [Kiruna|Kiruna Nachiman] try to take charge, but [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] does not let them. [Kiruna|Kiruna Nachiman]'s attitude grates on [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]. There are sixteen [Warder] with the [Aes Sedai].[3] After the two parties join, the [Wise Ones|Aiel] smell furious at the [Aes Sedai]. [Masuri|Masuri Sokawa] tries to talk to them but they rebuff her. [Dannil|Dannil Lewin]'s cousin [Ban|Ban alSeen] is another leader of the [Two Rivers] men. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] wonders how [Alanna|Alanna Mosvani] knows so much about [Rand|Rand alThor] but she will not tell him.[4] On morning of the tenth day, wolves call [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] sending, "Come now. Many two-legs. Many, many, many! Come now!"
