I was struck by the little detail that Aerlinn comes from a family where the necklace has been passed down for thousands of years from mother to daughter and now she has no daughter. It's time for this to end, evidently.

The details about the painting in her room were evocative.

Author Reply: Thanks for picking up on that detail of the mother-daughter necklace; it is exactly right. It was this comment plus the other one about the diamond arrow that inspired me to use another mother-daughter necklace. Instead of a characterless diamond arrow, I have Elsila's gift to Elwen as the treasure in Part 10.

I was sitting on a hotel balcony overlooking a beach when I wrote that painting passage. It seemed that the sea and sky were all around me. Regards - Chathol-linn
