Perrin, Mat, Ingtar and the Shienaran soldiers continue after Fain and the Horn of Valere. Mat seems to paler than he was due to his separation from the stolen dagger and healing by Verin seems to have no effect. Ingtar desparately wants the Horn, and asks Perrin to relate events the wolves saw. The wolves saw Shadowkiller attack the darkfriend camp and now the darkfriends are following Shadowkiller. Ingtar has the soldiers remove their armor and they continue on through Cairhien.
