Fatal Revenant, Part 1, Chapter 7. Taking the Risk
This chapter begins: " The cold seemed to speak directly to Linden: she saw its uncompromising beauty."....".Hello there Linden! Its me again.."
" wha..Oh no now what? Who?"
Its Me! I'm Cold!
Wher..wha?..Yea no kiddin!..You don't see me wearing a goose down parka!.. I'm cold too!"
No you're not ..I'm AM Cold!
Yeaa!.. gotcha the first time..got any fire? I m just as cold as you are ya know!..
aaam..You're not gettin this..Listen Linden.. I Am THE Cold!!
Are you from Frisco?
WHAT!?..ITS , SAN FRANciso,,and no I'm not!.. well, not that I haven't been there. But I Am The Cold! Here let me prove it to ya...
" Linden felt each probing finger of winter as it found its way through her garmets to touch her skin with ice"
' AAACK!!!! Keep Your frozen fingers Off Of ME, You PERVERT!! THEOMACH!! Your idea of a Path is really startin to bother me! Covenant, get over here and warm me up with some of that magic of yours..
..and You called ME a Pervert??
Okay, I just had to get that out of me.I took the Risk...It was just itchin to be let loose. And thats what SRD is doing here;.."seemed to speak directly to".. different way of saying ' feeling".. The " perception" of Cold,, as a dialogue !.a cool comment on how we perceive..How that is heard is open as the mind is to the metaphor of it. SRD is definitely expressing outside the boxness here. To express the Cold's lack of pity as uncompromising beauty,,is the very definition of Andre Breton's " MAGNIFICENCE" of the Surreal.
..And then the author turns around and describes the frozen scene in terms of more " conventional" beauty,,easier to follow and understand,," numinous glory" The sunlit crystalline untrammeled brilliance of the snow on all sides defined the contours of the hilltop as distinctly as etch-work in purest glass. I wonder if he looks at clouds too? The " L's" flow in soft alliteration over the icy scene described. He throws in the diametrically opposed for good Surreal measure.." Every slope and crest around her seemed to burn as though it were .........." afire with cold"....!!!!.." And winds had shaped and sculpted the crust as it melted and refroze repeatedly between Day and Night.; delicate dazzling whorls everywhere, sastrugi as scalloped and articulate as hieroglyphs or runes; ridges and hollows as suggestive as elaborate surface of the sea""..Now I KNOW SRD looks at the rushing clouds too!
From there its back to a Covenant still yammerin away on his version of the past, with concealed malice underlining every breath spoken half truth while in his cold indifference to Linden's physical plight...He goes on to prove himself doubtless of being a Liar. Even the Theomach is made to laff then get dead serious about TC's " justifications". Apparently TC had to demonstrate his power by banishing the Theomach providing a moment for more "propaganda", from the Illusion Masters, to be poured into Lindens head.
This " uneventful" chapter is really full of challenges. From a challenge to see things from an outside of the box perspective,, with examples provided to give the reader or dissector a " Path",,along with Linden, we begin to question everything.It is the Theomach who finally bring us and Linden to the Truth. The Illusion Master means to introduce the Two Staffs Of Law to the same Place and Time,,and thus bring down the Arch of Time and guess who is Free with no bond as a result.? There is subtle hint here of any " need" in the end, of any Staff of Law...which has already been suggested in Runes.
But that is only half of the quid /quo pro. Linden is first reminded of what her " Talent" her "realized Potential"..who she is..IS..She is a healer. The Theomach's quid is unknown at this point but he is honest enough to say its based on Pride. There is subtle hint here on these Insequent. They are like,,Muses; not the discovered themselves, but the heralds, or path makers to what is to be discovered... Mahdoubt the Muse of Love,,Theomach the Muse of ..Time and Place, or what we may call..coincidence.,,what the Surrealists called,,magnetic field lines. Oops I digress into LOSTness. But wait,,there was that little song in this chapter.." he is lost and found.."..there is that "opposites in conflict" again.
The Vizard and Harrow and who knows who else will have their chapters..But, Theomach sure does upset the Illusion Master's apple cart , wouldn't you say.? He calls Linden's " feeling Her Way" thru the morass of half truths from the Illusion Masters as " wisdom"..!!. These Insequent are a Trusting lot aren't they?. The Surreal can't be taught in Logical ways.. It can't be learned with a Logical perspective. It is unencumbered by Logic. Its about exploring the Imagination, free, in order to discover what waits for you there,, Who You Are, Your Self.Do you have a Muse you Trust?..or who Trusts You?
Interesting to note the level of " foul Language" by TC is in direct relation to his efforts being frustrated by Theomach....
..But, alas,,Linden isn't quite free. More examples are to come, and with that, more challenges to overcome.But for now,,the chapter on Risk taking,,ends with Linden on the verge of demonstrating her healing " Talent" in a conflicted reality beset by endless War. I feel for her.
