! __Galad__ POV

[Galad|Galad Damodred] and [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] talk after the battle as dawn nears. [Galad|Galad Damodred] still does not completely trust [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] but he is coming to like and respect him. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] relates the [Asha'man]'s claim that the taint on the [One Power] is now gone but he does not take offense when [Galad|Galad Damodred] is skeptical. [Galad|Galad Damodred] is allowing [Healing|Weaves#h], following advice from [Gareth Bryne]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] says [Galad|Galad Damodred] and his men owe their lives to [Grady|Jur Grady] and [Neald|Fager Neald] and [Galad|Galad Damodred] must agree. [Galad|Galad Damodred] says a quick prayer beside the body of [Ranun Sinah]. 

They discuss [Galad|Galad Damodred]'s plans, to move on into [Andor], when [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] suddenly responds to a sound. Under some dead [Trollocs], [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] finds [Jerum Nus], still barely alive. They take him back to camp and one of the [Wise Ones|Aiel] [Heals|Weaves#h] him.[1] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] offers to make a gateway for [Galad|Galad Damodred] and his men, though they will not accept it easily. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] offers to take the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] to fight in the [Last Battle|Creator], but only if they swear to obey him. [Galad|Galad Damodred] remarks how absurd such a request is from a convicted killer, but [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] is adamant. [Galad|Galad Damodred] finally agrees. What swayed him was the compassion that [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] showed [Jerum Nus]. No [Darkfriend|Darkfriends] could feign that. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] asks if [Galad|Galad Damodred] ever thought about why they met up. [Galad|Galad Damodred] says it was because the Light brought [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] to their justice. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] says no, apparently he will need [Galad|Galad Damodred]. [2]\\

! __Alliandre__ POV

[Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] folds bandages and passes them to [Niagen]. [Lacile|Lacile Aldorwin] is still taken with him. She listens in while [Faile|Zarine Bashere] and [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] talk. She is suspicious of their new friendship which, to her, is obviously feigned. She hopes they will ignore her as irrelevant. [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] leaves, clearly irritated, and [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] goes to talk to [Faile|Zarine Bashere]. [Faile|Zarine Bashere] says [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] does not like being wrong about men.[3] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] returns and [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] leaves him and [Faile|Zarine Bashere] to talk. She goes back to [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] in a much more controlled mood. She intentionally showed irritation so [Faile|Zarine Bashere] would think she was beaten. [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] admires her cleverness. She talks of opportunities for marriage to secure the safety of [Mayene]. Love is not a factor for rulers. [Galad|Galad Damodred] arrives. [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] is blatantly smitten again and [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] smiles at the irony. At least this will take the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] away from [Ghealdan]. She returns to rolling bandages, surreptitiously stealing a beautiful blue silk shirt that will make a nice scarf.[4]

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] It seems the [Wise Ones|Aiel] have been learning from the [Aes Sedai].
\\[#2] A fitting and quite satisfying end to the conflict between [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light].
\\[#3] Her assumption that [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] intended to wipe out the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] rather than save them.
\\[#4] Our first POV from [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] and a curious picture indeed. A ruler loyal to her country, but devious and self-serving as well.
