That turned out to be that he had implied that they had a future together, although he knew that he would die after he came out of the Land. While I thought his solution was a neat one, it was somewhat disconcerting the way he (and especially Linden) all of a sudden came to feel that there could be victory in death. Such lofty ideas had been usually reserved for the Giants and the Haruchai. So, what is Linden going to do now? No doubt, the Land will soon be in trouble again. Now that they have a new (better) Staff of Law, it will be a simple matter to summon her. She has the White Gold now, but when she shows up in the Land, will they give her the Staff of Law to wield? I can't imagine there being much of a contest if she has her health-sight, the Ring, and the Staff. I would be interested in reading about the Chronicles of Linden Avery the Chosen, but I think one book would cover it since she's so powerful. --Randy -------
