I can't remember what it is called, though. :april yup! that he does! the first book is called "Ship of Magic"! You know, I think fitz lives a totally wretched life... ;) but i wonder what happened to the fool? i thought that he and fitz were supposed to stay together?... about the focus stones thingey... didn't van use the focus stone that stef gave him when he slaughtered the bandits? i don't really get what's going on here, so forgive my incoherence... i think that the focus stones thing was thought up by the Guardians/Herald-mages of Valdemar (you know, like the vrondi?) just because the Tayledras pple are better at "natural" magic, doesn't mean that they are the geniuses.... i think the valdemarans were more on the technical side of things. ;) Make sense? so since valdemaran magic kinda died out after van's death, it would make sense that neither elspeth or firesong would have used the focus stones (didn't know nothing about 'em) since they were so obviously thought by the tayledras... get it? am i making sense here? ;) btw, the misty awards are still up for nomination, i'll be placing the nominees up for voting in a fortnight!

I'ld say about two or three months (forever in teentime) For the newbies and those who don't remember A hush runs over the hall, then strange but compelling music lilts through the air. A gypsy woman with long black hair and striking green eyes steps out of the mists. At her side is a large Tiger-Wolf who immediatly jumps into the pools :Awwww I missed these pools: Is projected into the hall. NightFire (the gypsy) removes her wrap and stores it away. "I shant be needing this for awhile" she thinks. She wanders about the hall greating those that she knows and introducing herself to those she dosen't. anouncing to everyone and no one in peticular "It's good to be with friends again!" Btw I brought a feast with me and I need help eating it.*grin* It will be served in the dinning hall presently.
