Haley stations herself halfway between the camp and the front of the battle and watch, helping with little things here and there for awhile, including serious healing. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon the fighting stops for the moment as the Scanra pull away to rest. The Tortallans do the same, making sure at least half of the camp is ready in case of an ambush. Haley uses her gift to heal for awhile and then takes the opportunity to eat then wanders around the camp. From the soldiers she learns the best place to stay and when the Scanra attack again she moves there and helps, both with healing and fighting. She does this for a week, never killing, but on the 7th day there are too many casualties for her to heal with what little strength she has left from the fighting.
She sends some back to the manor as she rests, but has to get up again to stop the wounded from being overtaken as they head to the manor.
She settles down again and is almost asleep when she hears someone walking toward her.
"Who are you?" She calls out as she stands trying to see the person better, his form framed by the setting sun.
"You don't need to know that" The person replies. Haley realizes it is a man and then she feels the magic emanating from him. She quickly puts up a shield, narrowly missing an attack from the man.
Keeping her shield up she begins attacking him.
After about an hour of endless attacks from the man, Haley's gift is almost spent. About then the Scanra mage lessens his attacks. Haley stops attacking to see why he had stopped to and she notices his attention is fixed on the ground. A moment later the ground around her moves throwing her off balance. Her defenses drop as she stumbles and in that moment the Scanra attacks hard again. His attack hits her full force and she flies back, skidding along the burned and rocky ground.
As she is standing up, breathing hard with cuts and scrapes all over, the Scanra moves over to her.
"You're very powerful" He says and Haley, not being able to tell if he is being sarcastic asks
"What is that supposed to mean?" She is pale and she looks extremely tired. "Are you making fun of me or telling me the truth" She asks as she calls on her gift again. At this moment Blaine rides up.
"Both" he replies. Blaine calls on his gift but before he can Haley says something and the ground beneath the mage opens up and the mage is gone. When the ground is closed again Blaine has dismounted and is standing by Haley
"What are you doing here?" She asks tiredly as he steps closer.
"To help, though you apparently didn't need it" Blaine says as he helps Haley stand.
"Oh" Haley says, leaning on Blaine as he helps her over to his horse. He takes the reins and starts to lead the horse but stops and mounts behind Haley when he realizes she is half asleep. A moment later she is asleep leaning back on Blaine.
