Fire and Spirit

Author: Asandra al'Terra

Characters: Nynaeve, Elayne, Brendas, Vandene, Thom, Juilin, Logain.

Setting: Salidar

Point of view: Nynaeve

Nynaeve is outside, putting off going into the Little Tower; she fears Myrelle being there. She enters, though - there is no sign of Myrelle - and asks Brendas, an Aes Sedai of the White, if she knows where Siuan and Leane are. It turns out that they are in a meeting with the Hall, and Nynaeve makes to leave when Brendas asks whether any progress is being made with her block; the answer is, no.

The Accepted hurriedly leaves the Little Tower, accidentally bumping into a new Aes Sedai to Salidar by the name of Vandene. A few paces from the building, she is met by Thom and Juilin; from out of nowhere, Elayne appears, flinging herself at Thom. After their greeting, Thom and Juilin tell of what they had learned in Amadicia - few Whitecloaks at the border, except for the North where they are holding back the Prophet. It seems, too, that Niall does not know of Salidar.

Elayne realizes that Thom is holding something back, as does Nynaeve; Elayne guesses that it is about her Mother - and she is right; everyone in Amadicia seems to think that Morgase is in the Fortress of the Light.

Elayne laughs it off, and Thom and Juilin are called to meet with the Sitters. The two Accepted leave so Nynaeve can study Logain, and she notices Elayne isn't wearing the bracelet holding 'Marigan', but Elayne assures her that she is safe. The two then start arguing friendlily over the previous evening; Nynaeve's teacher got her drunk to try and break her block. Talk then drifts to leaving, but Elayne tells Nynaeve that Birgitte had told Uno not to provide them with horses unless Birgitte says so. On that note, they move to Logain's residence, so Nynaeve can study him.

When they arrive, Nynaeve gets right to studying his gentling. She thinks about Egwene and Rand whilst weaving into the 'cut' in Logain from the severing from the One Power.

She stares for a moment when she realizes what she had done - she had Healed Logain.
