 excitement�察�murmuring to each other and all jammed together to watch what was ing down the road�此�a long double column of white´cloaked horsemen trailing a cloud of dust�察�conical helmets and burnished plate´and´mail shining in the afternoon sun�察�steel´tipped lances all at the same angle。 At their head rode a youngish man�察�stiff´backed and stern´faced�察�who looked vaguely familiar to Perrin。 With the arrival of the Mayor�察�the murmurs hushed expectantly。 Or maybe it was Perrin's arrival that quieted them。
       Two hundred paces or so from the stakes�察�the stern´faced man raised a hand�察�and the column halted with sharp orders echoing down the files。 He came on with just half a dozen Whitecloaks for pany�察�running his eyes over the wagons and sharp stakes and the men behind。 His manner would have named him a man of importance even without the knots of rank beneath the flaring sunburst on his cloak。
       Luc had appeared from somewhere�察�resplendent on his shiny black stallion in rich red wool and golden embroidery。 Perhaps it was natural enough that the Whitecloak officer chose to address himself to Luc�察�though his dark eyes continued to probe。 ;I am Dain Bornhald�察─�he announced�察�reining in�察 �Captain of the Children of the Light。 You have done this for us�拭�I have heard that Emond's Field is closed to the Children�察�yes�拭�Truly a village of the Shadow if it is closed to the Children of the Light。;
       Dain Bornhald�察�not Geofram。 A son�察�perhaps。 Not that it made any difference。 Perrin supposed one would try to arrest him as soon as another。 Sure enough�察�Bornhald's gaze swept past him�察�then jerked back。 A convulsion seemed to seize the man�察�one gauntleted hand darted to his sword�察�his lips peeled back in a silent snarl�察�and for a moment Perrin was sure the man was about to charge�察�fling his horse onto the spiky barrier�察�to reach him。 The man looked as if he bore Perrin a personal hatred。 Up close�察�that hard face had a touch of slackness to it�察�a shine in those eyes that Perrin was used to seeing in Bili Congar's。 He thought he could smell brandy fumes。
       The hollow´cheeked man beside Bornhald was more than familiar。 Perrin would never forget those deep´set eyes�察�like dark burning coals。 Tall and gaunt and hard as an anvil�察�Jaret Byar truly did look at him with hate。 Whether or not Bornhald was a zealot�察�Byar surely was。
       Luc apparently had the sense not to try usurping Bran's place ´ indeed�察�he appeared intent on examining the white´cloaked column as the dust settled�察�revealing more Children stretching up the road ´ to Perrin's disgust�察�though Bran looked to him ´ to the blacksmith's apprentice ´ waited for his nod before answering。 He was the Mayor� �Bornhald and Byar plainly took note of the silent exchange。
       ;Emond's Field is not precisely closed to you�察─�Bran said�察�standing up straight with his spear propped out to one side。 ;We have decided to defend ourselves�察�and have this very morning。 If you want to see our work�察�look there。; He pointed toward the smoke rising from the Trollocs' pyres。 A sickly´sweet smell of burning flesh drifted in the air�察�but no one except Perrin seemed to notice。
       ;You have killed a few Trollocs�拭─�Bornhald said contemptuously。 ;Your luck and skill amaze me。;
       ;More than a few� ─�somebody called out of the Two Rivers crowd。 ;Hundreds� �
       ;We had a battle� ─�another voice cried�察�and dozens more shouted angrily on top of one another。
       ;We fought them and won� �
       ;Where were you�拭�
       ;We can defend ourselves without any Whitecloaks� �
       ;The Two Rivers� �
       ;The Two Rivers and Perrin Goldeneyes� �
       ;Goldeneyes� �
       ;Goldeneyes� �
       Leof�察�who should have been over guarding the woodsmen�察�started waving that crimson wolfhead banner。
       Bornhald's hot´eyed hate took them all in�察�but Byar danced his bay gelding forward with a snarl。 ;Do you farmers think you know battle�拭─�he roared。 ;Last night one of your villages was all but wiped out by Trollocs� �Wait until they e at you in numbers�察�and you will wish your mother had never kissed your father� ─�He fell silent at a weary gesture from Bornhald�察�a fierce´trained dog obeying his master�察�but his words had quieted the Two Rivers people。
       ;Which village�拭─�Bran's voice was dignified and troubled both。 ;We all know people in Watch Hill�察�and Deven Ride。;
       ;Watch Hill has not been troubled�察─�Bornhald replied�察 �and I know nothing of Deven Ride。 This morning a rider brought me word that Taren Ferry hardly exists any longer。 If you have friends there�察�many people did escape across the river。 Across the river。; His face tightened momentarily。 ;I myself lost nearly fifty good soldiers。;
       The news produced a few queasy murmurs�察�no one liked to hear that sort of thing�察�but on the other hand�察�no one here knew anyone in Taren Ferry。 Likely none of them had ever been that far。
       Luc pushed his horse forward�察�the stallion snapping at Stepper。 Perrin reined his own mount tightly before the two began fighting�察�but Luc appeared not to notice or care。 ;Taren Ferry�拭─�he said in a flat voice。 ;Trollocs attacked Taren Ferry last night�拭�
       Bornhald shrugged。 ;I said it�察�did I not�拭�It seems that the Trollocs have at last decided to raid the villages。 How providential that you here were warned in time to prepare these fine defenses。; His stare ran over the pointed hedge and the men behind it before settling on Perrin。
       ;Was the man called Ordeith at Taren Ferry last night�拭─�Luc asked。
       Perrin stared at him。 He had not known Luc even knew of Padan Fain�察�or the name he used now。 But people did talk�察�especially when someone they knew as a peddler came back with authority among Whitecloaks。Bornhald's reaction was as strange as the question。 His eyes glittered a hate as strong as he had shown for Perrin�察�but his face went pale�察�and he scrubbed at slack lips with the back of his hand as though he had forgotten he wore steel´backed gauntlets。 ;You know Ordeith�拭─�he said�察�leaning toward Luc in his saddle。
       It was Luc's turn to shrug casually。 ;I have seen him here and there since ing to the Two Rivers。 A disreputable´looking man�察�and those who follow him no less。 The sort who might have been careless enough to allow a Trolloc attack to succeed。 Was he there�拭�If so�察�one can hope he died for his folly。 If not�察�one hopes you have him here with you�察�close under your eye。;
       ;I do not know where he is�察─�Bornhald snapped。 ;Or care� �I did not e here to talk of Ordeith� ─�His horse pranced nervously as Bornhald flung out a hand�察�pointing at Perrin。 ;I arrest you as a Darkfriend。 You will be taken to Amador�察�and there tried under the Dome of Truth。;
       Byar stared at his Captain in disbelief。 Behind the barrier separating the Whitecloaks from the Two Rivers men�察�angry mutters rose�察�spears and bills were hefted�察�bows raised。 The farther Whitecloaks began spreading out in a gleaming line under shouted orders from a fellow as big in his armor as Master Luhhan�察�sliding lances into holders along their saddles�察�unlimbering short horsebows。 At that range they could do little more than cover the escape of Bornhald and the men with him�察�if they did indeed manage an escape�察�but Bornhald appeared oblivious of any danger�察�and of anything at all save Perrin。
       ;There will be no arrests�察─�Bran said sharply�察 �We have decided that。 No more arrests without proof of some crime�察�and proof we believe。 You'll never show me anything to convince me Perrin is a Darkfriend�察�so you might as well put your hand down。;
       ;He betrayed my father to his death at Falme�察─�Bornhald shouted。 Rage shook him。 ;Betrayed him to Darkfriends and Tar Valon witches who murdered a thousand of the Children with the One Power� ─�Byar nodded vigorously。
       Some of the Two Rivers folk shifted uncertainly�察�word had spread of what Verin and Alanna had done that morning�察�and the deeds had grown in spreading。 Whatever they thought about Perrin�察�a hundred tales of Aes Sedai�察�almost all wrong�察�made for easy belief in Aes Sedai destroying a thousand Whitecloaks。 And if they believed that�察�they might e to believe the rest。
       ;I betrayed no one�察─�Perrin said in a loud voice so everyone could hear。 ;If your father died at Falme�察�those who killed him are called the Seanchan。 I don't know whether they are Darkfriends�察�but I do know they use the One Power in battle。;
       ;Liar� ─�Spittle flew from Bornhald's lips。 ;The Seanchan are a tale concocted by the White Tower to hide their foul lies� �You are a Darkfriend� �
       Bran shook his head wonderingly�察�pushing his steel cap over to one side so he could scratch his fringe of gray hair。 ;I don't know anything about these ´ Seanchan�拭 � about these Seanchan。 What I do know is that Perrin is no Darkfriend�察�and you are not arresting anybody。;
       The situation was growing more dangerous by the minute�察�Perrin realized。 Byar saw it and tugged at Bornhald's arm�察�whispering to him�察�but the Whitecloak captain would not�察�or perhaps could not�察�back away now that he had Perrin in front of his eyes。 Bran and the Two Rivers men had their heels planted�察�too�察�they might not be willing to let the Whitecloaks take him even if he confessed to everything Bornhald claimed。 Unless someone tossed some water fast�察�everything was going to explode like a fistful of dry straw tossed on a forge´fire。
       He hated having to think quickly。 Loial had the right of it。 Hasty thinking led to people being hurt。 But he thought he saw a way here。 ;Are you willing to hold off my arrest�察�Bornhald�拭�Until the Trollocs are done with�拭�I won't be going anywhere before then。;
       ;Why should I hold off�拭─�The man was blind with hate。 If he went on�察�a good many men were going to die�察�including him most likely�察�and he could not see。 There was no use pointing it out。
       ;Haven't you noticed all the farms burning this morning�拭─�Perrin said instead。 He made a sweeping gesture that took in all the dwindling plumes of smoke。 ;Look around。 You said it yourself。 The Trollocs aren't content with raiding a farm or two each night anymore。 They're up to raiding villages。 If you try to make it back to Watch Hill�察�you may not get there。 You were lucky to e this far。 But if you stay here�察�in Emond's Field。。。; Bran rounded on him�察�and other men shouted loud noes�察�Faile rode close and seized his arm�察�but he ignored all of them。 ;。。。you will know where I am�察�and your soldiers will be wele to help our defenses。;
       ;Are you sure about this�察�Perrin�拭─�Bran said�察�grabbing Stepper's stirrup�察�while from the other side Faile said urgently�察 �No�察�Perrin� �It is too great a risk。 You must not ´ I mean。。。 please don't ´ Oh�察�the Light burn me to bloody ash� �You must not do this� �
       ;I won't have men fighting men if I can stop it�察─�he told them firmly。 ;We are not going to do the Trollocs' work for them。;
       Faile practically flung his arm away。 Scowling at Bornhald�察�she produced a sharpening stone from her pouch and a knife from somewhere�察�and began honing the blade with a silk´soft whisk´whisk。
       ;Hari Coplin won't know what to think�察�now�察─�Bran said wryly。 Straightening his round helmet�察�he turned back to the Whitecloaks and planted his spear butt。 ;You have heard his terms。 Now hear mine。 If you e i
