Ah, but in one book she says that Morrolan's inability to manipulate chaos might be "worked around" in some way. Perhaps even then she suspected she would give her blood to reach his veins sometime in the future. However, it may not be just her blood giving him the ability. Instead, it may react with relatively common Dragon genes in a way that brings about his ability. Maybe this is how Kieron got his powers in the first place... > This, however, doesn't rule out that Verra is Vlad's > mother, merely makes a > little more unlikely that it is God's blood, not With the information available so far it seems unlikely that Verra is his mother. She may have spared his life when he was insulting to her, but only because she knows he will be useful to her. She seems to treat him with much more disdain and contempt than she would ever show to Aliera. If anyone mentioned in the books is intended to be Vlad's mother (which doesn't seem that likely) it would probably be Arra. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
