As the light condenses into a woman-high column, raspberry chocolate truffle sheep rain down into the hands of the list-sibs filling the Hall. Finally, the light disperses and a girl with strawberry-blonde hair, amber eyes, and wearing a grey uniform with a matching grey feather in her hair can be seen. She is accompanied by a white 'horse' and a Flion. Looking around at the people filling the Hall she grins and lets out an exuberant whoop of joy.~ Heyla all!!!! The Goddess of Flions has entered the building! I cannot tell you how happy I am to be back! I'm all yours for a little less than a month! :) Hey, have the Misties been announced yet? I hope I didn't miss them. Stars light your path, Sorana S.

She walks around the Hall offering every listsib sheep-shaped pez and special welcome back sheep-pez to Sorana. Then she settles into her favorite hotspring to relax: Magic's Pawn SPOILER: Well, I just read MPawn all the way from Staven's death to their departure from Haven and Boy is it depressing!!!!!! Poor Van. =^( I hope the rest gets better or I wont be able to read the other two books without crying! END SPOILER About that Romany/Tayledras thing...Do you think that since a lot of the Tayledras/Shin'a'in/Kaled'a'in words that Misty mentions are in that dictionary that one could assume that the entire Tayledras language is just like the Romany language or is at least pronounced like it? If so it might be cool to meet someone who speaks it to learn pronunciation and accent. Just speculation. I have a question. Did Misty first start writing about Tarma and Kethry in the Sword and Sorceress books by MZB? If so, could someone tell me which volumes they are in please? I was thinking vol. 3, but I wasn't sure if that was right or if it was the only one in which they were in. Thanks.
