Perrin is in the Wolf Dream chasing Hopper using what he has learned to make Tel'aran'rhiod bend to his will making vines and bushes move out of the way. Hopper went over a cliff and as soon as Perrin followed Hopper attacked but Perrin was ready. Hopper makes shadows and mists to confuse Perrin. Perrin focuses on the air being dry and the mists disappear. They travelled to the area where the mysterious dome was and check it out again. Hopper disappeared and Perrin followed him and appeared in water. He has a hard time. Hopper tells him he is not ready to fight Slayer but there is a way to learn faster. He takes Perrin to Caemlyn in Tel'aran'rhiod and shows him people's dreams. Telling him to smell for fear. Perrin enters a dream, he finds a person who is running from a shadowy things. When he asks who it is they reply its the Dragon Reborn which makes Perrin think of Rand and remember that he is in a dream. The dream disappears. Hopper tells him the Last Hunt comes and to follow him. They travelled to the slopes of Dragonmount. There were many many wolves more that had even been there recently. Perrin notices the clouds are black and coming to a head at the top of the mountain. Hopper tells Perrin a choice will be made and it will determine if there is a Last Hunt or not. Perrin makes his way to the top again winds and when he reaches the top finds Rand. A shell of evil blackness surrounded Rand until a little light shone through. Small cracks appeared and then the blackness shattered. Sunlight shone down in a column to the top of Dragonmount. Wolves appeared, Hopper being one of them and they howled. Perrin joined them, the Last Hunt has begun.
