Sweet's cover for Power that Preserves
What scene is it supposed to represent and who are the characters depicted? Thanks.
the Cover of the Power that Preserves by Sweet depicts Banor and Foamfollower being Held in stasis but figting to free themselves from the Dead Highlord Elenas will using the staff of law. Thomas Covenant is trying to take the staff from her, she is attempting to destroy the Colosus,,... the green is supposed to represent Fouls Presence and hold over Elena im guessing. great cover.
No need to guess. Remember... Mhoram was looking at the krill and saw green overtaking the white of the gem. It was fully green when Elena had the ring when this scene was happening.Blackhawk wrote:the Cover of the Power that Preserves by Sweet depicts Banor and Foamfollower being Held in stasis but figting to free themselves from the Dead Highlord Elenas will using the staff of law.

Covenant turned in time to see a short figure detach itself from the burning mud, step queasily onto the hard ground.
The figure was scarcely taller than the skest, and shaped like them, a misborn child without eyes or any other features. But it was made of mud. Flames flickered over it as it climbed from the fire, then died away, leaving a dull brown creature like a sculpture poorly wrought in clay. Reddish pockets embedded in its form glowed dully.

I couldn't find anything which indicates why Foamfollower has nothing on but his skivvies. But ...
In [u]The Power That Preserves[/u] was wrote:Foamfollower wore a host of recent battle-marks among his older scars, and Banner's silvering hair and lined face had aged perceptibly. But all that was insignificant beside the grisly fact that they were not moving.
They did not so much as turn their heads toward Covenant. They were paralyzed, clenched rigid and helpless, by a green force which played about them like a corona, enveloped them in coercion. They were as motionless as if even pulse and respiration had been crushed out of them by shimmering emerald.
... Midway between him and the upreared fist of stone stood Elena!
She was robed in radiant green velure, and she bore herself proudly, like a queen. She seemed swathed in an aura of emeralds; her presence sparkled like gems when she smiled. ... she shone defiantly before him like a soul of purest emerald. ... Like a reborn phoenix, she flourished in green loveliness.
