Countdown to Wheel of Time Season 3 Day 4: Favorite Quotes
You know, when Egwene was little, barely ten, her parents brought her to us, the Old Wisdom and I. She had an infection already set into her muscles. They were cramping so badly that her legs were bent backwards on themselves. That’s why they call it breakbone fever. Usually before the person dies, they snap their own legs and arms in half. The Old Wisdom, she, um… she didn’t know what to do. So she started making a tea to ease her passing. But I couldn’t. So I took Egwene’s hands, and she held on so tight. She looked at me and she said, “I’m not ready.” She was so small. She just lay there the whole night while her own body tried to break itself in half. And she didn’t cry. Not once. And she refused the Wisdom’s tea. In the morning, the fever had broken. Not her.
