Byar hurried up carrying a small leather sack and carefully parted the
slashes in GaladТs coatsleeve. УThose will need sewing,Ф he muttered,
Уbut they can wait.Ф Kneeling beside Galad, he took rolled bandages from
the sack and began winding them around the gashes in his thigh. УThese
need sewing, too, but this will keep you from bleeding to death before
you can get it.Ф Others began gathering around, offering
congratulations, men afoot in front, those still mounted behind. None
gave the corpse a glance except for Kashgar, who cleaned ValdaТs sword
on that already bloodstained coat before sheathing it.

УWhere did Asunawa go?Ф Galad asked.

УHe left as soon as you cut Valda the last time,Ф Dain replied uneasily.
УHeТll be heading for the camp to bring back Questioners.Ф

УHe rode the other way, toward the border,Ф someone put in. Nassad lay
just over the border.

УThe Lords Captain,Ф Galad said, and Trom nodded.

УNo Child would let the Questioners arrest you for what happened here,
Damodred. Unless his Captain ordered it. Some of them would order it, I
think.Ф Angry muttering began, men denying they would stand for such a
thing, but Trom quieted them, somewhat, with raised hands. УYou know
itТs true,Ф he said loudly. УAnything else would be mutiny.Ф That
brought dead silence. There had never been a mutiny in the Children. It
was possible that nothing before had come as close as their own earlier
display. УIТll write out your release from the Children, Galad. Someone
may still order your arrest, but theyТll have to find you, and youТll
have a good start. It will take half the day for Asunawa to catch the
other Lords Captain, and whoever falls in with him canТt be back before
nightfall.Ф

Galad shook his head angrily. Trom was right, but it was all wrong. Too
much was wrong. УWill you write releases for these other men? You know
Asunawa will find a way to accuse them, too. Will you write releases for
the Children who donТt want to help the Seanchan take our lands in the
name of a man dead more than a thousand years?Ф Several Taraboners
exchanged glances and nodded, and so did other men, not all of them
Amadician. УWhat about the men who defended the Fortress of the Light?
Will any release get their chains struck off or make the Seanchan stop
working them like animals?Ф More angry growls; those prisoners were a
sore point to all of the Children.

Arms folded across his chest, Trom studied him as though seeing him for
the first time. УWhat would you do, then?Ф

УHave the Children find someone, anyone, who is fighting the Seanchan
and ally with them. Make sure that the Children of the Light ride in the
Last Battle instead of helping the Seanchan hunt Aiel and steal our
