Perrin, Gaul, Loial, Faile, Bain and Chiad spend three days travelling through the Westwood to reach Emond's Field. Perrin and Faile are still not speaking to each other. They stop at Tam al'Thor's house and farm only to find all of the buildings burned and no one around. Perrin resolves to leave for Emond's Field very early, with Gaul and without Faile, so he can turn himself in to the Whitecloaks before she can interfere. They arrive at the Winespring Inn early and without being seen. Inside, Marin al'Vere and Brandelwyn al'Vere are polishing the inn's silver and pewter. Marin asks after Egwene and Perrin assures her that she is safe.
