" Ren is the sea wife, Val. You refuse to accept your role, even though the secret heritage of the Palindrake males has been revealed to you. Ren was given her role, and lived it fully, yet once that ritual at Old Caradore was complete, you wouldn’t continue the tradition with her. She never spoke of it, but I believe it was always on her mind. Her view of reality was destroyed and a wondrous new world revealed to her, but you would not share it. I think Ren might even welcome the cooperation of a man who is mystically inclined. If she does ally with Khaster, it’s your own fault. "

" All that was sundered will unite in the cauldron of the heart. The air will come to the water and the fire will make steam within it. Air dries water, but water quenches fire. Earth suffocates air, yet can be burned in the flames. If the elements are not in accord, then the world weeps. But one will come who is the water of Verotishi, who controls the elements. Look for his sign, in the skies, in the oceans, in the spoor of the beasts, in the smoke of the hearth fire. For he must come, this man of silence who will govern the elements. "
