Tossing back his black cloak, Elan Morin flexed his hands.
"A pity for you," he mused, "that one of your Sisters is not here. I was never very skilled at Healing, and I follow a different power now. But even one of them could only give you a few lucid minutes, if you did not destroy her first. What I can do will serve as well, for my purposes." His sudden smile was cruel. "But I fear Shai'tan's healing is different from the sort you know. Be healed, Lews Therin!" He extended his hands, and the light dimmed as if a shadow had been laid across the sun.
*cough*
Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, though I think the name Elan Morin is bullshit. I'm pretty sure it was Ishamael.
Ishamael was his real name. Elan Morin Tedronai was his 'title', similar to Lews Therin's title of Dragon. In the Old Tongue it means Betrayer of Hope. Ishamael only ever gets called that in the Prologue, if I remember correctly, but I'm not certain.
By the by, Evader? GOD DAMN YOU. Because of you now I've got the desire to re-read all the books again. <i>Damnit!<i>
You got that backwards. Elan Morin was his real name, back when he was a extreme! philospher during the local utopian age. Tedronai was the name he got tacked on for being a very
good extreme! philospher. "Ishamael", "The Betrayer of Hope", etc. is what he got called for the following feat of extreme! philosphy:
"For millenia, the human race has asked this question: Does God exist? Is he in fact 'dead', either an obsolete whimsy of our primitive forbearers or an actual being that has entirely removed himelf from the mundane functions of his creation? Well bollocks if I know. What I have done is conclusively prooven the existance of Satan, aka Shai'tan, Beelzebub, Left-handed Humingbird, Tiamat... anyways, we've had a grand old time discusing things together and planning out your deaths and subsequent eternal damnations and I'd like you to meet him.
