Perrin can’t hear those damn wolves while he’s on the ship, so he finally gets to sleep. He wonders how Elyas, that other Wolf Man from Book 1, is able to sleep with all those wolves howling in his head.

He falls asleep, which is a fucking godsend for me because I get to trudge through another awful dream sequence! Perrin stands in the mist; his dead wolf buddy Hopper shows up to lead him through the fog. The go through the fog. They go through the fog until they end up in mid-air, somehow, and it’s pitch black. Below them is an array of mirrors (?) and a big group of Darkfriends led by Ba’alzamon. Apparently, some of these Darkfriends failed their missions, and Ba’alzamon smash! One let “the boy” (Mat) escape Tar Valon, so Ba’alzamon vaporizes him. Kickin’ ass and taking NO names, that’s the way to do it.

Ba’alzamon orders the rest to obey him or they’ll be horribly killed too, then he sends them all on their merry way. Selene/Lanfear pops in to tell Ba’alzamon that “he is free to use her domain” (vagina). Does this mean she no longer serves him?? And she goes “a-buh-buh-buh-bhhuh of course I still do!” But she challenges him: Lews Therin still walks the land and the Aes Sedai are in control.

Once these two lovebirds disappear, Hopper leads Perrin to another area where he can see Rand below him actin’ crazy and weird and killin’ all sorts of Darkfriends and regular folk with his red hot saidin bullets. He sees Perrin above him, gets pissed, and shoots him. Perrin wakes up with a real burn on his chest.

Perrin decides this shit is serious and tries to find Moiraine’s quarters to chat about his dream. When he explains the whole thing, Moiraine simply replies that there are Aes Sedai that would try to gentle him if they heard that. Gentling wouldn’t have any effect on Perrin, of course, but he should be careful what he says nonetheless. Lanfear is loose, which means she’ll be trying to head to Tear. And Moiraine won’t Heal Perrin because she wants him to keep the burn as a lesson.

Perrin asks about the name “Zarine” and it means, basically, a slut. Not befitting a Hunter of the Horn, so Perrin agrees with that! End scene.

Elsewhere, Rand realizes he might have seen Perrin and almost killed him! Eek! He needs to be more careful who he decides to randomly kill! About 10 men (and one female merchant) arrive to ask Rand if he would like to share the campsite with them. Rand lops off her head with a sword, then kills the rest of the men. He steals the merchant’s horse and heads off to Tear where he can jerk off some more. I mean, Jesus Christ, Rand. Get a grip.
