Pellinor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (981 words) |
 | She is discovered by Cadvan (one of the great Bards), who reveals to her that she too has "the Gift" of the Bards. |
 | Cadvan soon discovers that her mother was the leader of the first circle of the destroyed School of Pellinor; it was previously assumed that there were no survivors. |
 | Cadvan finds that Maerad's Gift was unusually powerful for one never formally taught; he begins to suspect who Maerad really is. Cadvan takes her to the School of Innail, to make the presence of a survivor from Pellinor known and to make Maerad a minor bard of Pellinor. |
| The Gift (4517 words) |
 | Cadvan told her the orange-lipped shells were mussels, so she picked one up and, as Cadvan instructed her, split open the bivalve shell and picked out the flesh. |
 | She hadn't thought of Cadvan having a lover, apart from Ceredin, who had died when he was a young man; but now she did think of it, there was no reason to suppose that he hadn't. |
 | Cadvan and Nerili were simply two Bards, debating questions of high policy, and these subterranean feelings which so disturbed Maerad were but flutterings of her tired mind. |
