I can not believe we have actually made it to the end of Lord of Chaos. I must say after getting through these last two chapters I feel like I am almost as tired as Rand and Perrin and the rest of them. Figuratively speaking anyway. Onward to the recap.
Perrin Loial and Gaul make their way across the river. Perrin is relieved that Faile had not insisted on coming. Berelain had at first until Rhuarc pointed out the danger of letting rumor spread of people seeing that she has left the city Rand charged to her care and she relented. Eventually they meet up with Dobraine and Havien Nurelle Captain of the Mayene Winged Guards. Rhuarc reports that he has about five thousand men and a thousand Maidens to add to the two hundred Mayeners and five hundred armsmen. He did not dare take more lest the other Aiel find out that Rand has been taken captive. There are also ninety four Wise Ones led by Amys and Sorilea. Perrin is not sure if even the combined power of the Wise Ones is enough to match the Aes Sedai they are chasing but he certainly would not turn aside any help.
That night Perrin sends his mind out to the wolves. After a long period of introduction he asks about the party of wagons and men and Aes Sedai ahead of him he would been startled when he first learned that wolves could always tell when a woman could channel. One of the wolves asks why he is searching for these two legs. Perrin hesitates, worried about putting the wolves in danger and unsure whether or not they consider Rand important. Then he answers that they have caged Shadowkiller.
The shock filling his mind was answer enough but howls filled the night near and far howls filled with anger and fear. In the camp horses whinnied fearfully stamping their hooves as they shied against the picket ropes. Men ran to calm them and others to peer into the darkness as if expecting a huge pack to come after the mounts.
