A Wheel of Time Wiki
"I have served the Lord of the Twilight long. Long did I lie imprisoned for my service, in an endless, dreamless sleep. Only Gray Men and Myrddraal are denied dreams. Even Trollocs can dream. Dreams were always mine, to use and walk. Now I am free again, and I will use what is mine."
   — Lanfear

Summary[]

Point of view: Perrin Aybara Setting: River Manetherendrelle aboard the Snow Goose, Tel'aran'rhiod

While thinking about Zarine, Perrin walks around on the Snow Goose searching for his cabin. When he falls asleep, he finds himself greeted by Hopper in Tel'aran'rhiod. Hopper guides him through a thick fog to a meeting of Darkfriends summoned there by Ba'alzamon. The Darkfriends are extremely startled at being summoned so in a dream. Ba'alzamon is annoyed that some of the tasks he gave the Darkfriends are not yet completed. As punishment he kills the man who let Mat escape from Tar Valon, remarking that the man will never wake from his dream. Other Darkfriends identify themselves as men from Illian and Tear.

After he dismisses the other Darkfriends, Ba'alzamon is confronted by Lanfear. Lanfear expresses her annoyance at Ba'alzamon using the World of Dreams which she claims as her domain. Ba'alzamon questions her loyalty, but Lanfear says that she has long served the Great Lord of the Dark. They belittle each other's plans and accomplishments. The fog returns and Perrin and Hopper are alone again. Perrin realizes Lanfear is the same woman who appeared in his dream and urged him to glory.

Perrin questions Hopper about his motives for showing this to him. Hopper only says that it was what he must see and warns him again to be wary before flying off. Perrin then accidentally stumbles upon Rand in Tel'aran'rhiod while he is killing shadow spawn. Rand, still believing the Dark One is trying to win him over in his dreams, attacks Perrin with lightning. This makes Perrin wake up with some minor injuries on his chest. For the first time in many days he finally falls into a deep sleep.

When Perrin wakes in the morning he goes to Moiraine and tells her about the dream. Perrin shows her the burn on his chest as proof. She tells him to be careful, as many in the Red Ajah would think it is the work of male channeling and try to gentle him. He would not be harmed by an attempted gentling, but he would be treated roughly by the Red Ajah and perhaps even killed before they realize their mistake. Perrin takes the dream as confirmation that Lanfear has escaped Shayol Ghul, if not the other Forsaken as well. Perrin questions Moiraine what she will do about this news but she is sticking to their plan of getting to Tear and will say no more. Perrin asks her to Heal his wound from Rand's lightning but she declines, saying it is not serious and it will help him remember to be careful. Perrin also asks her what the name Zarine might mean and Moiraine replies that it is a Saldaean name suitable for a great beauty who lies around on cushions surrounded by suitors.

Point of view: Rand al'Thor Setting: Hillside in Murandy

Meanwhile Rand wakes up and realizes he has to be more careful in his dreams, realizing it was really Perrin and not some illusion. He is confronted by a female merchant and her guards asking to share his camping spot. He assumes they are Darkfriends and quickly kills them with a heron sword made of fire. He leaves their bodies in a kneeling fashion, quipping that people should kneel to him if he is indeed the Dragon Reborn. He notices an eleventh man when he only saw ten before; the additional man has no armor and wielded only a dagger.[1] He takes one of their horses and rides off to Tear.
