[He isn't the only one in his world to be used by the same powers that brought forth the Companions. Yfandes knows what awaits her Chosen - maybe not clearly, but she knows his path will end. He isn't alone when he calls down the Final Strike. She returns to him after making sure Stefen is safe.

His heart never leaves him.]

I thought they killed her. [They shot her hindquarters with an arrow bolt, causing their connection to resound with pain. Then they had drugged him and he had been unable to contact her as they dragged him away.] I couldn't move. They hurt her and drugged me. I was so relieved to see her...

I wish you could meet her. She's my heart. [His mother, his sister, his best friend...] My light is nothing compared to hers.

[Yfandes loves him unconditionally. She has never asked anything of him, though he has given her his love in return.]

I do not deserve her or Stefen or you. But I'm a jealous creature, so I can't let any of you go.
