Malachite is a green or blue mineral used as an ore of copper and for making ornamental objects.dlbpharmd wrote:WTF is Malachite?
OK, so Linden is kneeling, looking over into the darkness, with her hands on either side of her head. The Staff of Law is behind her on the stone of the bridge. What is she looking at? Is she calling out to someone? Has she dropped something? Has she dropped the ring? Is she crying? Does her ass really look that good in jeans?

Well, well, straight from the...Timewarden's mouth.“That old man. The beggar. The Creator. He abandoned you before you ever came here. I didn’t want you to think I’d abandoned you too.”
Loric was the High Lord I most wanted to know more about, so this golden nugget of information floors me. But he roamed the depths of Melenkurion Skyweir alone? And no assistants helped him forge the krill? All this just reaffirms to me what a badass Loric was.Covenant tried to focus on Galt. But the krill plucked at his attention, luring him with images which had once been as familiar as Time. In shards and slivers, flaws, he caught glimpses of Loric’s prolonged, arduous search for a stone which could be shaped into the gem that formed the nexus of the dagger: a search which had taken him deep under Melenkurion Skyweir, following the Black River inward from Garroting Deep until he found a fragment of crystal made perfect by eons of contact with the Blood of the Earth. Like peering through cracked glass, Covenant saw Loric forge the metal of the krill, striving to emulate white gold. He lacked the raw materials to fashion white gold itself. But from his inherited and acquired lore, he had gleaned a comprehension of alloys: he worked with ores that could be transmuted and commingled until they became strong enough to sustain the pristine possibilities of the gem. If Covenant allowed himself to drift, he would be able to watch as though he stood at Loric’s side while the dour High Lord sweated over his incantations and fires—

[/BRAGGING]Vader wrote:To me that doesn't sound accusing but rather full of pitifulness. If Covenant really accused her of having messed it all up he wouldn't have started with "Oh Linden" but rather with a "hellfire". Thus to me it looks as if he isn't so much concerned about the consequences Linden's action have on the world's fate but rather is worried about what she has done to herself."Oh Linden.” His first words to her were a hoarse gasp. “What have you done!”
So I conclude from this that she has done the right thing but will have to pay a high price fo it.

He's a guy I love to hate. Tried to steal Linden's mind. Then the Mahdoubt lost hers on account of him.Vraith wrote:And the Harrow suddenly became a much more interesting character, I think.
So after millenia of being the most powerful being (next to the Creator), all he gets to come back to is another leprosy-ridden body."He can’t hold on. Something inside him is collapsing. I brought him back, but I didn’t do it right. He isn’t whole.
“And he has leprosy.”
To that, Covenant had no answer.
