! __Galad__ POV

[Galad|Galad Damodred] and [Bornhald|Dain Bornhald] run to their horses and [Galad|Galad Damodred] mounts [Stout]. They see arrows fall, but not on their camp. The arrows hit an army of approaching [Trollocs]. This splits the [Trollocs]' attention and [Galad|Galad Damodred] begins to order the [Whitecloak|Children of the Light] defense. [Byar|Jaret Byar] rides up saying [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] brought the [Trollocs]. Even [Bornhald|Dain Bornhald] is confused as to why he would be so many only to slaughter them. Still, it is coincidence that [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and the [Trollocs] arrived at the same time. [Galad|Galad Damodred] is wary.

! __Perrin__ POV

[Faile|Zarine Bashere] asks [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] how he knew. He explains that it all fits, the dome trapping them, [Gill|Basel Gill] being persuaded to take the [Jehannah Road]. It was a plot designed to put [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]'s army where the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] now are. He thinks there must be a [Portal Stone] nearby. He orders the women to stay back but does not understand why [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] smells so worried.[1] [Grady|Jur Grady] says he still detects channeling off and on. Someone is jumping in fists of [Trollocs] then returning, someone strong but not terribly so.[2] [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] says he will not abandon the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] the way they abandoned the [Two Rivers]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] raises %%ot [Mah'alleinir|Old Tongue]%% and joins the attack.

! __Galad__ POV

[Galad|Galad Damodred] fights the [Trollocs] but [Stout] falls and [Galad|Galad Damodred] sprains his ankle badly. [Bornhald|Dain Bornhald] is also unhorsed. [Galad|Galad Damodred] leads the charge though he knows [Gareth Bryne] would have stayed back to command. [Galad|Galad Damodred] is distressed to see that the [Children of the Light] are being wiped out. They have no special support of the Light. They are just men.

! __Perrin__ POV

[Gallenne|Bertain Gallenne] and [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] lead the attack from the heights. His hammer seems to burn the [Trollocs]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] reins [Stepper] and [Arganda|Gerard Arganda] joins them. They are losing a few men but they are wiping out the [Trollocs]. [Jori Congar] reports that the [Trollocs] and [Myrddraal|Fade] are focusing on the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] and it is going badly for them. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] signals and the [Asha'man], [Wise Ones|Aiel] and [Aes Sedai] begin attacking in earnest. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] leads the charge downhill to rescue the [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light].

! __Galad__ POV

[Galad|Galad Damodred] sees [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] leading his army into the backs of the [Trollocs]. [Trom] helps rally the legion. [Galad|Galad Damodred] falls and his weakened ankle breaks. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] arrives and he and [Bornhald|Dain Bornhald] help [Galad|Galad Damodred] onto [Stepper]. He can see that the tide has turned. [Galad|Galad Damodred] voices his suspicions and [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] replies that the [Trollocs] were after him. [Galad|Galad Damodred] names [Perrin|Perrin Aybara]'s punishment, a blood price to the dead [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light]'s families and a promise to fight in the [Last Battle|Creator]. [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] says that is fair. There is a shout behind [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Byar|Jaret Byar] tries to kill him, but [Bornhald|Dain Bornhald] kills [Byar|Jaret Byar] instead.[3] He leaves, still looking hateful. [Galad|Galad Damodred] says it will be hard for him to accept what he has done. They turn back to killing [Trollocs].

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] He apparently missed [Berelain|Berelain sur Paendrag] and [Galad|Galad Damodred] making goo-goo eyes at each other.
\\[#2] Again the question, who? [Graendal] also has [Dreadlords] at her command?
\\[#3] [Byar|Jaret Byar] was [Graendal]'s final tool. ([ToM,Ch38], [ToM,Epilogue]) That raises the question of whether or not [Byar|Jaret Byar] was actually a [Darkfriend|Darkfriends] himself or if he was "convinced" to kill [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] perhaps like [Masema|Masema Dagar] was. Given his hatred of [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] right from the start, even before any of the [Forsaken] were free, the latter seems most likely.
