DISCLAIMER - I don't own "His Dark Materials". I only own Gynna.

NOTE -
ME - I know, I know. There was a definite cliffhanger on the second one. Did he die? Did the potion work?

EVIL TWIN OF ME - Come on people! This would be a really stupid and shot story if Will died! Oh, and if the potion worked there wouldn't be a third one either. So, let's logically think abo-

ME - :::puts hand over evil twin's mouth::: Quiet! Um…on with the fic…?

(ok, a lot of stuff happens in this chapter. if it doesn't make sense, the 4th chapter will clear everything up for you guys)

"Will, wake up," whispered the woman with long blonde hair and crystal eyes. She had changed back into her regular cloths and was working on a healing spell that would come in soon.
Will's eyes slowly fluttered open and the first thing he saw was darkness.
"What's wrong with my eyes? Why can't I see anything?!" Will exclaimed in fear. He turned this way and that with his arms out in front of him.
"Stop moving, boy," Gynna scolded shoving him back down onto the ground. "Here."
"What's this?" She placed another vile in his hand.
"Take it for your eyes."
"Am I going to be in an extraordinarily amount pain?"
"Just take it if you want to see again."
Will hesitated. "It's okay, Will. I don't think it will hurt us." Kirjava was beside him and rubbing her fur against his arm.
"Okay," he said reluctantly. He unscrewed the top and took it down with a gulp. Will prepared himself for pain, but instead found a warm feeling surging through his chest.
"Now blink three times," the woman in silver said softly. He did as he was told. The first blink was black, the second was blurry, and the third was normal.
"Why did I loose my eyesight?" Will demanded running over to Gynna.
"Why don't you just take a good look around and then rephrase your question." She didn't look at him, just kept stirring something in a pot.
Will was angry with her, but not angry enough to not do as he was told. So, he looked back and forth once quickly-not really long enough for the setting to compute. But something caught his eye to his left. He walked over to it and looked down at it.
It was a picture frame covered in gold and silver dust. But it wasn't the frame itself that caught his attention. There was a face in the picture, a face he knew and loved more than everything. Looking up, he turned around and studied the walls, the floors, the ceiling. Everything was in shadows and there was only one source of light-a candle in the corner. The ground was marble with cloths spread everywhere. But something else was in the room. It was a bed with a black veil flowing down from the ceiling. The bed was empty.
"This is Lyra's room, isn't it." Will turned to Gynna and saw her hovering over the ground next to the pot.
"Is that a question, or a statement?"
"What does that mean?"
"I think you know where we are." She floated past him and over to the bed. She pushed back the veil and sat down.
"Where is she? I thought you said you were going to bring me to her."
Gynna sighed and turned her head away.
"There's something else, isn't there? There was another reason why you brought me here."
"I brought you here because she needs you. She's dying."

ME - Who saw that coming?

(audience raises hands)

ME - Shut up!

EVIL TWIN OF ME - But really, by ending it having the two of them hooking up, there wouldn't be any adventure.

ME - Yeah! Where's the pizzazz in that?

EVIL TWIN OF ME - Yeah…wait, did you just say pizzazz?

ME - …anyway, review so I can write the next chapter. But, I'm sick so give me a break.

EVIL TWIN OF ME - Wait, I'm still on that whole pizzazz thing. Don't ever say that again…
