Perrin guides a Tuatha’an woman to Moiraine.
This chapter is every bit as gripping as the title suggests!
Somewhere in the Mountains of Mist lies the camp of the Dragon Reborn, where he has been bravely waiting all winter long. Waiting for what? I doubt even he knows. Where’s the Rand al’Thor from the end of The Great Hunt? You know, the one who was telling Moiraine he didn’t want anything to do with her? I’m asking because this Rand al’Thor seems perfectly content to have handed the reins back to the Aes Sedai and hibernate.
That’s right — after disappearing for most of The Great Hunt, Moiraine is back to calling all of the shots. A steady stream of women has come to the camp seeking Moiraine. Nobody seems to have any idea who they are or what their business is. More generally, nobody seems to know why they’ve been parked in the mountains all winter long with their dicks in their hands. Perrin doesn’t seem to mind being kept in the dark and acting as Moiraine’s fetch dog. With nary a complaint, he guides the latest arrival — a Tuatha’an woman named Leya — to Moiraine’s cabin.
Welcome to The Dragon Reborn.
