[Perrin|Perrin Aybara] riding [Stayer] is at the [Jehannah Road] with [Faile|Zarine Bashere], [Wil|Wil alSeen], [Seonid|Seonid Traighan] and the six [Wise Ones|Aiel][1], [Nevarin]. [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag], [Annoura|Annoura Larisen] [Gallenne|Bertain Gallenne] are also there. [Alliandre|Alliandre Maritha Kigarin] stayed behind. A patch of the [Blight] has transplanted there. [Mori|mori] examined the entire patch. They ride into the patch and find a strange village in the middle. [Sulin] reports that no one is there. [Masuri|Masuri Sokawa] says that the wood and thatch are something she has never seen. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] orders the [Wise Ones|Aiel] to burn the whole area.

Later that evening [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] is reading a copy of ''The Travels of Jain Farstrider'' that [Gaul] found in [Malden] when he falls asleep and enters the [wolf dream|TelAranRhiod]. There is the same strange storm in the sky. [Hopper], [Oak Dancer], [Whisperer], [Morninglight], [Sparks] and [Boundless] invite him to hunt. Remembering [Noam] in [Jarra|Jarra (Sept)], [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] refuses then gives in. He starts with a [Two Rivers] longbow, he is not as good a shot as [Jondyn Barran], but then reverts to his wolf form. [Hopper] chides him again for worrying. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] has visions:

* [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] fighting against himself, a dozen different men wearing his face, all dressed in different types of fine clothing, never seeing the shadowy figure behind him with a bloody knife.
* Sheep running in a flock toward the woods chased by wolves. A terrible beast waits unseen. Something is wrong with the wolves.[2]
* [Faile|Zarine Bashere], [Grady|Jur Grady], [Elyas|Elyas Machera], [Gaul] followed by thousands all walk toward a cliff.[2]

[Perrin|Perrin Aybara] scents a stag and gives chase. Hunting as a wolf he brings down the stag but [Hopper] knocks him away before he can kill. He says that they hunt but do not kill. Death here is final. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] agrees to let [Hopper] teach him his way.
