Verkuijlen" To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Vanyel being Chosen Message-ID: <3481FAA3.4632-+AT+-mail.hiwaay.net> My 2 cents..... Well, I think Vanyel wasn't Herald-material when he came to court: he was spoiled and felt very sorry for himself *all* the time. (however understandable that was). Even after his relationship with 'Lendel blossomed he still wasn't Herald-material: he could not think about protecting people he didn't know. Oh, and another point, he was way to dependent on 'Lendel. However: I do think he would have been chosen, eventually. Being in the company of Companions and Heralds would have rubbed off on him, esp. after 'Lendel's internship. After all he had some fore-sight (sp?). I think Savil only tested him for Mage-power and not for Mind-magic (I'm not sure about this and if anyone is sure and I'm wrong: please correct this!). Now for my question: when Talia follows Elspeth outside to the Companion-field she suddenly feels the ground drop from underneath her. Does this sound like using a Gate to anyone else but me? Could that be an explanation for the Grove-born Companions? They Gate to the Grove? If this subject is already beaten to death, just let me know and I'll start digging in the archives......

They Gate to the Grove? >> I think you're presuming a cause based strictly upon an effect. Say you feel vibrations in the air or ground. Those vibrations could have been caused by blasting somewhere nearby, or a jet breaking the sound barrier, or any other number of things. Now, if you translate that idea into the world of fiction, just because something causes a feeling like the one described, which happens to be similar to that experienced during Gating, does not mean that the same cause is at the root. I think that it has been well-established that Grove-born companions are exactly that groveBORN. Should you assume gating, you have to have a place for them to gate in from. I think the feeling described was the result of the Companion spirits assuming corporeal form. John E.

You'll notice that the dreams weren't about actual events like most examples of Foresight are, they focused more around the realization of Van's love for 'Lendel and the consequences of not accepting the fact. Not once was Vanyel actually stuck on one side of a chasm with 'Lendel on the other side. The second segment of the dream sequence, after denying his feelings for 'Lendel, plummets Van in the midst of the Ice Valley again...These are not dreams of Foresight...These are merely dreams of realization and coping with changes in life...So, I guess after getting this down on the screen, I have decided why Vanyel was not Chosen...All Heralds have Gifts, and Vanyel, although he had potential, had no Gifts, thus leaving him ineligible for becoming a Herald...

Mind you she did say that she knew "when she chose him" that she would die in this way. So was she deliberately waiting around for just him or ....... it is somewhat of a circuitous argument isn't it. Yes, I know that Companions go searching or in fact the incumbents come to Haven .... but do some actually have a pre-knowledge of who they will choose?

As 'Lendel said, his soul was good, he just needed experience to awaken it. Heralds are chosen on their potential. He had personal potential, but no power potential. Remember everyone, his gifts were BLASTED open. They wouldn't have opened on their own. The previous foresight he showed was really no more than the infrequent gifts that everyone has. What Say?

We were discussing what she had read so far and she mentioned she would probably finish Magic's Price at work the next day. I then had the opportunity to say "NO. DON'T read the ending of this book at work. Trust me on this." Needless to say, as it turned out she was grateful for the warning. This did get me to wondering if any of you have been affected by a book at an inappropriate time/place. Personally, I don't read much unless I have an undisturbed amount of time in which to get lost in what I am reading, which means this has never happened to me. I never read anything but "light" things when I know I will be picking it up for only bits at a time. You can usually tell in the first couple of chapters if a book will affect you. Anyone have any stories, crying, getting excited and yelling (which I have also done in private), or anything else related?

I'm back!!! The "O"-levels are over and I'm free, free! Yay! OK, *settles down*, let's move on to Van.. : IMNTBHO, Vanyel didn't have enough of a talent. Everyone has some :ability, but being chosen requires a little more. : : Robert Van did have foresight didn't he? Some Heralds had less than he did, yet they were Chosen. I suppose that the Companions hadn't Chosen him because he didn't have (as Starwind put it) "the hunger". Only when he killed the ice-drake thing did he begin to feel for the pple. Yfandes prob Chose him before that cos he was in such pain from 'Lendel's death. And she _knew_ that they might need him later on. What if he succeeded in his suicide attempt? Leareth would be storming down the pass with his dark soldiers, destroying Vald because of a weak leader With No Heir (No Van remember?) If Yfandes hadn't warned Kellan of Van's suicide attempt, Mardic and Donni would have been unable to get in, Andy would have not been able to save Van, and Van would have gone ka-poot. That's what I think anyway... Mariet asked: >Now for my question: when Talia follows Elspeth outside to the an explanation for the Grove-born Companions? They Gate to the Grove?< Hmm, that's a possible explanation you know! But aren't they spirit-born or something? How the hell do they Gate there? _Now_ you remember why I'm such a pest.
