The Eye of the World: Chapter 37
Author: Val a'Shain
Chapter Icon: Template:Teardrop
Point of View: Nynaeve
Setting: A Whitecloak camp somewhere in Andor north of the Caemlyn Road
Characters: Nynaeve, Moiraine, Lan, Bela
Nynaeve, Moiraine and Lan travel towards Caemlyn in search of the boy who still has the coin Moiraine gave him. At a certain point Moiraine halts. She senses that the boy has lost his coin. Before they leave again in the morning the coin has been returned so Moiraine can track him again. She leads them north away from the Caemlyn Road.
Soon after that they find a Whitecloak's camp where the boy is held. Moiraine decides to free him, and Lan asks Nynaeve to help them. Still upset about the way Moiraine treats her, she agrees reluctantly. Her task will be to cut the picket-ropes so that the Whitecloak's horses will scatter when Moiraine creates a diversion. Lan warns her about the wolves he has seen around before she goes.
The horses are only guarded by two Children of the Light, so it is not hard for Nynaeve to cut the picket ropes. When she arrives at the last group of horses, she recognizes Bela and realizes Egwene is in the camp as well. She decides to take Bela and one of the other horses she is with and unties Bela's lead rig. Moments later Moiraine starts her diversion. Lightning comes crashing down, and the horses flee in all directions. Nynaeve is stunned when she sees wolves chasing the scared horses away but is too busy getting away from the camp to pay much attention to them.
