Alyssa tried to call flame to her hands. They came easy enough and she tried firing a few fireballs into the air. It was draining, unlike for her previous self. A single firebolt was cast at the ground. Instead of leaving the deep crater it usually did, it was much weaker, it lacked the punch.

The excision of her inner persona was accompanied by a loss of most of her powers. Alyssa was glad that her unnatural heart allowed her to retain a portion of the power, but she lamented the loss of her destructive flame controlling. It was stolen.

Sorin looked at her and said "Get some rest. We'll find a way to reunite your souls. It was a single unfortunate circumstance. Now that Ariana has the soul in her grasp, knowing her, she will use it, possibly unite herself with it. How did she find out you had two souls?"

"The mistress of the Black Guard must have done much research on me. I feel very weak now, as if I am slipping into death."

"Don't be silly. Losing half your souls is not going to kill you."

Sorin walked Alyssa to the inn. He rented a room at the Bee and the Barb, before accompanying Alyssa into the room and closing the door, locking it.

Ariana laughed maniacally as she fried a bandit and froze another. She stared at the Bandit chief, charred and frozen corpses in her wake, one hand a flaming palm, the other an icy claw. She said "I wonder how is it to die by burning and freezing at the same time?"

She picked up the Bandit chief and her firey palm singed and charred one side of the chief, the icy claw freezing the other to solid ice. The centerline of the Bandit chief was lukewarm. So, she did indeed have magical potential. Ariana knew that she had not tapped the full power of the spirit, though.

Sitting down, Ariana used meditation to enter a mental simulacrum. She saw Alyssa's spirit half, sitting in a dark corner, crying.

(Ariana gains a huge weakness by performing the fusion. It will be seen when she uses the flame powers for real)
