The next morning, the Green Man's garden is still dying. The flowers are gone and the trees have shed almost all of their leaves, but a thin circle of grass and flowers have centered on the thick trunk above the Green Man's grave. Moiraine is still too weak to ride, so they hang a litter for her between Bela and Aldieb. They are ready to move on, but Loial is aggrieved that the Green Man's grave will eventually fall to the Blight. He walks over to the tree and uses his treesinging skill on it. When he is done, the leaves on the oak are healthy again. They ride out into the Blight, but nothing moves or attacks them. Lan chooses a campsite just before sunset, and the girls help Moiraine set the wards.
