Just wondering because >of that ch ain and am ulet. Hi, I guess not unless Grassfog is a very long-lived Easterner. Lord of Castle Black Chapter 47 page 145 paperback Grassfog speaking: "I was apprenticed to a physicker for a time, shortly before the Interregnum". Which would make him over 247 years old. And here I had a nice theory going on a connection between Tsira, Grassfog's sister, and Vlad or Cawti's family based on successful, point-first knife-throwing. I was going to add this to the thought that the ch ain knew something and was trying to get to D*livar's next life because it did not get to stay with the present life P*ro. But the P*ro idea fell apart... unless...no stop writing about it. Wait. But it could be several books from now. Wait patiently. Here is the knife connection anyway. Sethra Lavode Chapter 96 page 283 hardback Tsira "quickly threw a knife with such skill that it seemed to weave its way around her friends and strike one of the enemy, point-first in his chest". The Book of Athyra, Orca Chapter 12 page 377-378 Orca paperback page 214 "To my amazement it actually hit him point-first" ... "and wouldn't you know it, the one I'd had time to aim hit him sort of edge-on in the stomach and did no damage to speak of" I was thinking it was a family trait and a subconscious use of witchcraft. Because the witch does not realize they are changing the spin, it might work best when the conscious mind doesn't try to interfere by aiming or with a little help >from Verra. The Book of Taltos, Taltos page 10 Chapter 1 "all the things Noish-pa was showing me--like how to make a leaf blow slightly askew of the wind just by willing it to" Bye. Linda G.
