Lift stated the [[Immortal Words|second ideal]] of the Edgedancers and performed [[Regrowth]] for the first time to heal him.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Consequently Darkness captured her and dragged her away to execute her. However, the viziers thought that Gawx healed himself, and believed that it was a sign from the Heralds that Gawx was to be their new Prime Aquasix. They thought it meant that he could survive future attacks from the [[Szeth| Assassin in White]]. Gawx hurriedly pardoned Lift for her crimes, and Darkness was forced to release her.

Lift ultimately left the Bronze Palace in Azimir and set out for [[Yeddaw]].{{book ref|sa2.5|1}} While attempting to enter the city she interrupted a local guard, [[Hauka]], while she was reviewing a smuggler who was also trying to enter the city. Lift avoided capture after being discovered in the smuggler's pile of tallew, and then tipped the cart over into the immigrant district of the city. She then jumped off the ledge after it{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} and avoided death by grabbing onto Wyndle to slow her descent.{{book ref|sa2.5|4}}▼
==== Arriving in the city ====

She then went in search of urchins to find a place where she could eat, since she expended most of her Stormlight evading the guards.{{book ref|sa2.5|5}} She met a girl who told her of the [[Tashi's Light Orphanage]], a place where she could potentially get a meal if she got on the good side of the woman who ran it.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}}
When Lift arrived at the orphanage she was told to wait which upset her. While waiting she saw a mother come by the orphanage to drop off her child, as he was hurt and she could no longer care for him. When the [[Stump]] came to bring the child in, Lift was told that she would be given only three meals at the orphanage. After getting her first meal, she talked with an old man sitting on one of the stone benches in front of the orphanage. He told her that the woman who ran the orphanage liked to trade spheres, and that if she could find someone who would trade with her then she might let Lift stay at the orphanage{{book ref|sa2.5|6}}.
==== Hunting Darkness ====
After she left the orphanage, Lift set out in search of the guard she met at the gate. She found Hauka and followed her to her home, where she saw Darkness go in to question her on her altercation with Lift.{{book ref|sa2.5|7}} She then tailed Darkness to his base of operations within the city.{{book ref|sa2.5|7}} After eating his food, she spied on Darkness and learned that he had two recruits in addition to Szeth. She overheard them talking about searching for her and for another person within the city who was a potential Surgebinder.{{book ref|sa2.5|9}}
Lift went off in search of a place where records in the city were stored. She traded for information with a woman who pointed her to the [[Grand Indicium]] at the center of the city.{{book ref|sa2.5|11}} She traveled to the large building to find information about the other Surgebinder in the city.{{book ref|sa2.5|12}} She went straight to the front of the building, and told the scribe at the desk that she was a friend of the emperor of Azir. The scribe did not believe her so Lift used a [[spanreed]] to contact the Aquasix in Azimir who bade the scribes to assist Lift.{{book ref|sa2.5|13}} She ordered the scribes to search the information for any strange events that have happened in the city recently, but none of them seemed pertinent. The scribes abandoned the search due to the incoming [[Everstorm]]. Lift realized that Darkness' minions likely got the same idea to track down the Surgebinder as she did, and heads off in search of where in the building they might be.{{book ref|sa2.5|14}}
When she found the room where Darkness' lackeys were looking for the information, Lift had Wyndle follow them inside to listen for who they were targeting. She stayed outside the room which was guarded by Szeth, who was sitting in the hallway outside the door. Wyndle did not gather much information other than the fact that the [[

==== Confronting Nale ====
When
Outside Lift found that instead of the old man being the one harmed, it was in fact the two Skybreakers who lay dead on the ground. The man revealed himself to be [[Arclo]] a Dysian [[Aimian]]. He went on several tangents about philosophy before revealing that Darkness would go after the other Surgebinder if she were to flee. Arclo then guided Lift to the conclusion that the Stump was the other Surgebinder, leaving Lift to go back running towards the orphanage.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}}
