He frees him, earning a friendship with Gaul, a Stone Dog, who will accompany Perrin on his travels. Perrin comes across an Aiel warrior that was captured and in a cage. Rand leaves in his trail a pattern of weddings and strange events. After leaving in secret, Moiraine, Lan Mandragoran, the Ogier Loial, and Perrin Aybara follow always one step behind.
