! __Perrin__ POV

[Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] tells [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Faile|Zarine Bashere] that the [Forsaken] in [Illian|Illian (City)] is [Sammael].[1] She gives [Faile|Zarine Bashere] one last chance to leave, but [Faile|Zarine Bashere] declines. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] implies that [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] killed the [Darkhound], so [Sammael] will soon know a [Warder|Warders] and his [Aes Sedai] are near. They must leave immediately. They join [Loial] and go to the stable where [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] and [Nieda] are readying the horses. It is pouring rain. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] orders [Nieda], who has worked for her for twelve years, to leave town immediately. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] says that [Sammael] sent the [Darkhound], but not the [Gray Men|Gray Man]. Someone else is after [Perrin|Perrin Aybara].[2] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] blurts out that [Rand|Rand alThor] is the [Dragon Reborn|Rand alThor] in front of [Faile|Zarine Bashere] and [Nieda]. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] tells [Faile|Zarine Bashere] that she is now sealed to them and can no longer turn back. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred], [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran], [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], [Loial] and [Faile|Zarine Bashere] ride north on the [Maredo Causeway|Illian (City)]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] is on [Stepper], [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] is on [Aldieb] and [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] is on [Mandarb]. After a few miles, they hear a pack of [Darkhound] pursuing them. Making a stand on a rise, [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] kills one and [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] [balefires|Weaves] the rest. She says that it is forbidden and has not been used in two thousand years.[3] [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] says that they are not [Sammael]'s main quarry or he would have come himself. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] asks if it is [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] says perhaps him or [Mat|Matrim Cauthon], since he, too, is %%ot [ta'veren|Wheel of Time]%% plus he blew the [Horn of Valere]. [Faile|Zarine Bashere] now knows just about everything. They continue riding east toward [Tear|Tear (Country)].

! __Mat__ POV

[Mat|Matrim Cauthon] and [Thom|Thom Merrilin] are camped between villages near [Caemlyn]. Despite [Aludra]'s warnings, [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] cuts up one of the firecrackers to see what is inside.[4] [Thom|Thom Merrilin] is nearly apoplectic with fear. A pretty, blue-eyed, well-dressed woman and three men ride up. Suddenly, they attack, but [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] and [Thom|Thom Merrilin] kill them all. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] does not feel bad about the men, but he is upset about the woman. Afterwards, [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] recognizes one of the men as one of his attackers on the ''[Gray Gull]'' who escaped. He thinks the attackers are after him because of the letter he is carrying for [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]. They have no way of disposing of the bodies so they ride on through the night. They should arrive in [Caemlyn] tomorrow.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] How did she learn that?\\
[#2] Since [Ishamael] sent the [Gray Man] and others after [Mat|Matrim Cauthon], ([TDR,Ch36]) it was most likely him.\\
[#3] [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred] is not omniscient. Both [Rand|Rand alThor] ([TDR,Ch9]) and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] ([TDR,Ch39]) have rediscovered balefire.\\
[#4] Foreshadowing of his use of fireworks at the [Stone of Tear] ([TDR,Ch54]) and of his future interest in fireworks. ([ACoS,Ch17])\\
