The sad irony is that she still is. Just in the wrong body. Brand really screwed up, Dman was 100% right.
As for the village elder, who called Laputa and the palace majordomo in the first place, dude? You wanted them involved and now you're stuck with their plan of action, unless you ALL want to lose your wings. You wanted to protect Saida? You screwed up as bad as Brand did. Eat the consequences of involving Relshen, village elder. You built that.
Be glad Saida didn't let Brand burn down your village.
