It tore my heart, so I took him to the Tower to be Healed.” “And how’d you get out?” Mat asked. “How’d you fool them?” “I didn’t,” Birgitte said softly. Mat froze. “The Eelfinn never Healed him,” she continued. “They killed us both. I didn’t survive, Mat. That is the end of that particular legend.”
