Perrin POV - Lord
Luc enters and
Perrin despises him on sight.
Jac and
Elisa al'Seen
present him to their guests as Lord
Luc of Chiendelna
. He recognizes
Verin as
Aes Sedai and is nervous about her. She asks about his House name saying it has a
Borderlands sound. He replies that it is in
Murandy
. He is shocked at the sight of
Perrin.
Faile seems impressed with him and
Perrin is jealous.
Perrin chides them about letting the
Whitecloaks run their lives to avoid the
Trollocs. He convinces them that they should go to
Emond's Field and join forces.
Jac al'Seen and
Flann Lewin
are resistant at first, but come around to
Perrin's plan.
Luc leaves, clearly miffed.
Jac says they will leave as soon as they can pack and will spend the night at
Jon Gaelin
's farm.
Verin compliments
Perrin and says it was
ta'veren in action. She asks if
Rand has the sword and he tells her that he does. She then warns him to watch himself with
Alanna. There are lots of "designs" in the
White Tower and many of them could make use of a
ta'veren.
Verin moves away and
Faile joins him. They make up their recent spats.
Perrin,
Faile,
Verin,
Tomas,
Tam and
Abell prepare to leave. Four of the older boys decide to join them. They are
Wil al'Seen
,
Ban al'Seen
,
Tell Lewin
and
Dannil Lewin
. They head north and are soon joined by
Gaul,
Bain and
Chiad.
Perrin stops at other farms, and more people agree to head to
Emond's Field. Thirteen more young men join them. They include
Jaim Torfinn
,
Bili al'Dai
,
Kenley Ahan
and
Hu Marwin
. Some of the boys argue about who should lead whom, but
Perrin quickly takes command, splitting the group in two and putting
Dannil Lewin
and
Ban al'Seen
in charge.
Faile and
Tomas nod in approval, but
Perrin just says what he thinks
Uno would say. Just before they reach
Watch Hill, they all gather in a dense thicket. After scouting the
Whitecloak camp, they wait until nightfall.
Faile makes a crown of flowers for
Perrin causing
Bain to chuckle.
Perrin then leads
Faile,
Gaul,
Bain and
Chiad on the rescue mission. A huge
Whitecloak guard jumps
Perrin, but
Faile saves him. They reach the tent with the prisoners and free
Alsbet Luhhan
,
Haral Luhhan
and
Eldrin,
Bodewhin and
Natti Cauthon
. As they leave the camp, they hear horns begin to blow and rush back to the thicket.
Perrin sends
Tam,
Abell,
Faile, the
Aiel,
Hu Marwin
and
Jaim Torfinn
to hide the rescued people in a nearby abandoned farmhouse.
Verin agrees to
channel up a rainstorm. Then
Perrin and the others ride south making lots of noise to decoy the
Whitecloaks. He says the next thing to do is hunt
Trollocs.
