Wolf Dreams

Author: Val a'Shain

Characters: Perrin, Moiraine, Hopper, Lanfear, Rand.

Setting: the town of Jarra in Ghealdan, the World of Dreams

Points of view: Perrin, Rand

Perrin's point of view

After Perrin gets back to the inn he decides to talk to Moiraine about the wolves. Moiraine has been expecting him. She tells him even Aes Sedai don't know much about people who can talk to wolves. She is willing to tell him what she does know though. Moiraine tells wolves live partly in the World of Dreams and that Aes Sedai with the Talent of Dreaming sometimes found wolves to be their guides. She warns him to be careful both awake and asleep.

Perrin goes back to his room to sleep. As soon as he falls asleep he finds himself in a wolfdream. He sees Hopper, a wolf once part of the pack Elyas runs with but now dead. Hopper warns him of danger and tells him to run. Perrin rus even though he doesn't know for what. He meets a man in the dream who tells him to be gone. The man dies a horrible bloody death and Perrin runs on. The next person he sees is a beautiful woman dressed in white with raven black hair. The woman in surprised to see him and want him gone too before he can ruin things he 'could not begin to imagine'. Perrin runs again. Hopper tells him he should leave the dream. To make Perrin go Hopper attacks him.

Perrin wakes up with his clothes covered in blood. He takes of the clothes and opens the windows to make sure his sleep will be light enough not to get into an other Wolfdream. He is determined to stay away from the wolves from now on.

Rand's point of view

Rand is somewhere in a forrest hiding from a pack of dogs hunting him. He patiently waits for one to get close enough and then kills it with the One Power. The One Power comes to him and he succeeds. It doesn't allways work but he is learning. Who ever is hunting him will find he is no longer easy meat. Ignoring his wounds and the cold Rand continues his way east.
