! __Perrin__ POV

[Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Faile|Zarine Bashere] gallop to the Old Road to see what the commotion is. [Cenn Buie], [Hari Coplin], [Darl Coplin], [Bili Congar] and [Wit Congar] tell [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] the [Trollocs] attacked there as well. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] takes a closer look and sees that it is really just the band of [Tinkers]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] is chilled as he sees there are only about twenty of them left. [Raen], [Ila] and [Aram] are there, but [Aram]'s mother was killed. [Daise Congar] does not want to let the [Tinkers] into the village, but [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] shames them into agreeing. [Marin al'Vere], [Alsbet Luhhan], [Natti Cauthon] and [Neysa Ayellin] arrive to help the injured. [Raen] and [Ila] tell them that the [Trollocs] came last night. 

[Perrin|Perrin Aybara] thinks now is the time to sneak off after [Loial] and [Gaul], but [Haral Luhhan] comes up and asks for his help in organizing. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] does that, then tells [Get Eldin] to help Master [Luhhan|Haral Luhhan]. Other people, [Bran al'Vere|Brandelwyn alVere], [Buel Dowtry], [Eward Candwin] and [Nela al'Caar] ask for his opinion and help. [Dannil|Dannil Lewin], [Ban|Ban alSeen] and the others follow him. They are now calling themselves the Companions after [Tam|Tam alThor]'s stories. Some time later [Luc|Luc Mantear] arrives bringing a [Fade]'s head in a bag. He condescendingly compliments [Perrin|Perrin Aybara], then goes to his room in the [Winespring Inn]. 

The questions keep [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] busy till noon and he goes to the [Winespring Inn] to eat. [Natti Cauthon] is there with [Eldrin|Eldrin Cauthon], [Bodewhin|Bodewhin Cauthon] and [Aram]. The girls are clearly taken with his good looks. [Faile|Zarine Bashere] comes into the common room. She has been helping [Marin al'Vere] with the baking. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] tells her he is upset about being treated like a lord. She tells him he should bring the [Two Rivers] back to [Andor] and [Morgase|Morgase Trakand] will make him a real lord. [Aram] suddenly speaks up asking about a basket of swords, then picks up one. At this moment, [Alanna|Alanna Mosvani] and [Ila] appear at the top of the stairs and [Ila] sees [Aram] with the sword. In tears, [Ila] blames [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] for letting [Aram] take the sword. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] tells [Aram] to go to [Tam|Tam alThor] who will teach him how to use it. [Aram] swears allegiance to [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and leaves. 

[Bran|Bran alVere|Brandelwyn alVere] enters and tells them [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] are riding from the north. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Faile|Zarine Bashere] ride to the North Road to meet them. [Luc|Luc Mantear] is there as well. The leader of the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] rides up and introduces himself as [Dain Bornhald]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] realizes this must be [Geofram Bornhald]'s son. He notes that [Dain|Dain Bornhald] appears drunk. He recognizes [Jaret Byar] as well. [Bran|Bran alVere|Brandelwyn alVere] tells [Dain|Dain Bornhald] that [Emond's Field|Emonds Field] will take care of itself. [Dain|Dain Bornhald] angrily tells them that [Taren Ferry] was wiped out last night. Many people escaped across the river. [Dain|Dain Bornhald] lost fifty men. [Luc|Luc Mantear] seems surprised at this and questions [Dain|Dain Bornhald] further asking if [Ordeith|Padan Fain] was there. [Dain|Dain Bornhald] is surprised that [Luc|Luc Mantear] knows [Ordeith|Padan Fain]. [Luc|Luc Mantear] casually replies that he has seem him around, thinks him disreputable and hopes he died if he were there.[1] 

[Dain|Dain Bornhald] changes the subject and tries to arrest [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]. [Bran|Bran alVere|Brandelwyn alVere] will not allow it. To keep the peace, [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] offers to let the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] into the village to help fight the [Trollocs]. [Bran|Bran alVere|Brandelwyn alVere] adds conditions that they will arrest no one, will not bother anyone, and will help with the defense. [Dain Bornhald] agrees and the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] enter [Emond's Field|Emonds Field].
