There was no life in any of the, Nynaeve reached out and brushed the shoulder of the h table He i doard in a puff The chair and floorboards underneath did not dissolve

"There is nobody here to save," Nynaeve said

"Poor people," Naeff said "Light shelter their souls"

Nynaeve often had trouble feeling pity for the Tairen nobles--of all the people she had ant But nobody deserved this Besides, a large nuht in this bubble as well

She and Naeff , Nynaeve’s frustrationhelpless Like with the poor guard who had started the fire back at the manor house in Arad Doe diseases The dusty husks this day What was the good of learning to Heal if she couldn’t help people?

And now she had to leave Go back to the White Tower It felt like running away She turned to Naeff "Wind," she said

"Nynaeve Sedai?"

"Give the building a gust of wind, Naeff," she said "I want to see what happens"

The Asha’ a jet of air The entire building burst, shattering into dust that bleay, like the white seeds of a dandelion Naeff turned to her

"Hoide did they say this bubble was?" she asked

"About two streets wide in all directions"

"We need ust as large as you can If there is anyone wounded in here, we’ll find them this way"

Naeff nodded The two of thes, causing them to burst and fall Naeff was far er in the One Power Together, they swept the crus, stones and husks before the work, but they kept at it She hoped--against reason--that she s fell before her and Naeff, the dust getting caught in swirling air They pushed the dust in a circle,the floor

They passed people frozen on the streets in ly, so in an alley All fell to dust

They found nobody alive Eventually, she and Naeff had dissolved all of the broken part of the city and blown the dust into the center Nynaeve looked at it, kept swirling in place by a small cyclone Naeff had woven Curious, Nynaeve channeled a tongue of Fire into the cyclone, and the dust caught alight

Nynaeve gasped; that dust went up like dried paper thrown into a fire, creating a roaring tempest of flames She and Naeff backed away, but it was over in a flash It didn’t leave any ash behind
