- I'm glad someone brought Vella up. She isn't a sorceress, so I assumed
- that Beldin changed her form. But she should have a normal lifespan,
- no? So he would be lonely again. Unless 1) purple hawks live a long
- time, like the wolves of that world, or 2) Vella had some latent ability,
- which a powerful sorceror like Beldin could bring out. I thought that
- scene could have used a bit of clarification, since I though it fortold
- a miserably tragic ending for Beldin with Vella's eventual death, but
- everyone treated itlike the happiest event in the world! Anyone else
- wonderabout it?
