A Teeny snippet from HFQ (spoiler)

Hildum wrote:I think everyone is over-thinking this. Aivah is very familiar with the stories about Seijin, and clearly believes that Merlin is one. Since one capability that Seijins had was the ability to travel great distances quickly, she is hoping that he can do so with her. For all we know, there are tales of Seijin transporting people.

No need for knowledge of the Federation here, just a good understanding of Safehold's own traditions and mythology (not sure mythology is really the right word here).

As for what she was born with, clearly she has a mind as sharp as a bag full of razors.

The more interesting question might be does she think Merlin is a Seijin, or possibly think him an archangel?

G'Day Hildum,

Do you have a quote for where the Seijin's rapid movement ability is stated?

I just can't remember where that rapid a movement was stated as a seijin's ability....

I might argue that if RunsFor posts here- he is interested enough in Merlin et al, to comtinue to write this book. I "think" he posts more in Safehold than in his other series. I, for one, hope his interest and the admittinglly puzzling snips continue.

RFC did a "How The Safehold Series Won't End" post on the forum's where that happened so it "probably" won't happen for real. IF you look up RFC post you should find it.
