No:
Numair ran into the tower. Four hours of waiting and he wasn't waiting any more. Where was she?
'Daine!' he yelled. She didn't respond. He ran up the steps to their bedroom.
Alanna, Lory, and Rand watched him go.
'Do you think she's alright?' Lory asked Alanna.
'If I know Daine, then yes.' Alanna said gently.
'Alanna.' Came a soft call.
The trio walked up the steps to the top floor of the tower. Alanna's eyes opened wide, and Lory gasped and turned into her husband's arms. Numair was kneeling next to Daine's body. There was blood all over her chest. Alanna looked at Numair's horrified face; his right hand was drenched in his wife's blood. A single tear ran down his cheek.
Numair felt empty. Like everything he was had just died along with the most important thing in his life. He rested his head on her stomach, which no longer moved up and down. The last thing I ever did with her was kiss her, he thought. I never told her I loved her. I never told her that she is the only thing that has ever mattered to me. I was yelling at her, telling her coming here was too dangerous. That I didn't want to lose her. Now I have; I lost her forever. I'll never see her smile or hear her laughing. I'll never kiss her lips or hold her so close I can't breathe.
'Find him,' Numair whispered. Everyone could hear how much he wanted Hakkon dead. 'Find him now.'
'Okay' Alanna said and indicated for Lory and Rand to follow her.
'I'll kill him.' Numair whispered to his still wife. Numair leaned down and kiss her clod lips. He looked at the blood on his hands. 'I love you.'
