Perrin POV#

Perrin climbs down from Stepper feeling exhausted though he did nothing but talk. The trial weighs on him. Faile, Alliandre and Berelain are all angry with Morgase. Morgase goes to find Gill, Lini and the others. The Whitecloaks returned all the captives and the supplies as well. Gaul is disappointed that there was no fight. Faile is angry with him for accepting judgment but Perrin is adamant that they need every man for the Last Battle. He feels like the awaiting trap is about to spring. He is going to the wolf dream to get rid of the dome and confront Slayer. He tells Faile to get his army to Whitebridge as soon as Traveling works again. If he is not back in an hour she is to get the army marching to the perimeter Neald found. He thinks Slayer is actually Lord Luc. It is no coincidence that they run into Whitecloaks as soon as they finish with Malden, that Slayer is back and that they are close to where Perrin met Noam. Perrin must face this.

Bornhald is not so certain any more that Perrin killed his father. He must be a Darkfriend as he killed Lathin and Yamwick. Galad counters that he also killed a Whitecloak.[3] Both of them are troubled about events of the day.
