| 0357e46 | Lorcan had been born from and gifted with darkness. Returning to it was not a difficult task. But letting that glimmering, lovely light before him die out . . .

| 4ed87bc | Perhaps, as we say in America, I wanted to find myself. This is an interesting phrase, not current as far as I know in the language of any other people, which certainly does not mean what it says but betrays a nagging suspicion that something has been misplaced.

| 1d5dd82 | We're living in momentous times, Garion. The events of a thousand years and more have all focused on these very days. The world, I'm told, is like that.
