you never can tell, though.. In these books very little that, on first glance, you pass away as unimportant stays unimportant.. Stuff like Character names, ways of addressing each other.. And this is the Big One - the Creator.. So far in the Chronichles he hasn't played a big role, but it's quite possible that in the last books of the series he may again be very prominent...
Forgive my death.
It was my flesh that failed you, not my love.

When I was a kid, I had a friend who thought that Sauron from The Lord of the Rings was a dragon.
He messed up by not reading carefully, or he read too literally.
In the Appendices, there is one recapping of how Bilbo got the Ring, and Gandalf's hand in it. He wanted to prevent Sauron from using the dragon Smaug.
The sentence started like this "The Dragon Sauron could use" to terrible effect. Something very close to that.
But he read it as a title before a name, not realizing the sentence structure was a bit off.
Saurpn could use the Dragon to terrible effect was the sentence.
Some people see things and can only take it in the most literal sense.
Now, this was a seventh grader, and i set him straight.
When I read this title, I wondered if the same thing was going on.
And yeah, it is "Daughter."

Do, or do not. There is no try.
