The Great Hunt/Chapter 28

==Summary==
:
Perrin, Mat, Ingtar and the Shienaran soldiers continue after Fain and the Horn of Valere. Mat seems paler than he once was, likely due to his separation from the stolen dagger. Healing by Verin seems to have no effect. Perrin notes that Verin is focused on Rand and assumes that she knows his secret somehow. Verin wants them to move faster than even Ingtar. Ingtar desparately wants the Horn and keeps asking Perrin to relate the events the wolves saw even though Perrin has explained it countless times. The wolves saw Shadowkiller attack the Darkfriend camp, and now the Darkfriends are following Shadowkiller. The wolves are in awe of Shadowkiller. Ingtar thinks Shadowkiller might be Shadowspawn, but Perrin assures him that it is not a Fade.
Uno spots an Aielman in the rocks, who then comes out to the path to meet them. The Aielman gives his name, Urien. Mat says the Aielman looks like Rand. Ingtar talks to the Aielman and wants to know if he's seen the Trollocs they follow, but he hasn't. When Urien identifies Verin as a Wise One, she identifies herself as Aes Sedai and asks how they choose girls to become Wise Ones. The Aiel send men who are to be clan chiefs and women who are to be Wise Ones to a place called Rhuidean. That is all he can say. Urien thinks Verin will kill him when he cannot give her a full answer. The Aiel have a prophecy that says that the Aiel failed the Aes Sedai once, and should they do so again, the Aes Sedai would slay them. Urien says he searches for He Who Comes with the Dawn. There are signs and portents to know he has returned. Urien says, "He will be of our blood, but not live among us," and draws the symbol of Aes Sedai in the dirt. Urien says, "...under this sign he will conquer." When Verin says she cannot help him, he departs.
Mat asks Perrin whether he thinks the Aiel was talking about Rand, who many think is Aiel. Perrin can only shrug. Verin muses over what Urien said. Ingtar has the soldiers remove their armor and they continue on to Cairhien.
