Difference between revisions of "Summary:Rhythm of War"

Lift has made a home of sorts in the labyrinthine tunnels that make up the ceilings and walls of Urithiru. She continues to steal food, though primarily in the form of baskets deliberately left for her. She continues to grow, which makes her angry. She talks with [[Wyndle]], who confirms that she saw Cultivation, not the [[Nightwatcher]]. Lift says that she had specifically asked not to change. She wanted to stay her mother's little girl and is heartbroken by the thought that her mother would not recognize her because she has grown. Wyndle wraps around her to comfort her, but then suddenly realizes that something has happened to the tower. Lift realizes her powers are gone, and they watch a red [[aviar|chicken]] fight a green one. The red one is defeated, and Lift goes to it and tries to heal it but can't, feeling resistance. She takes it with her, goes inside to a safe place, and tries again. Taking extra effort, she finally pushes through the resistance and manages to heal it. Her "awesomeness", however, is not working at all. The chicken leads her away, and they hear battling in the tower. Eventually, the chicken leads them to a corpse of an old Alethi [[Gereh|man]] in robes who has been killed by a knife and appears to be robbed, missing rings. Mraize, with the green chicken on his soldiershoulder, arrives and says that he has always wanted an excuse to hunt her. Lift takes the red chicken and runs.
