In the last chapter of the first book, SoM, it's said that Shreeva was wounded by the white serpent/snake (don't know the English translation). In the first chapter of the second book, MS, it's said that Maulkin got the wounds in his short fight with the white serpent/snake. I'm wondering if I read something wrong cause there isn't even a big time gap between those two chapters but the pause Robin made between writing the first and the second book...
Ooooh interesting!!! I just checked and you're quite right about it mentioning Shreever as having the wounds, then Maulkin. Although now I want to find the actual battle (did we read about it?) to see if perhaps multiple serpents didn't fight the White Serpent and all of them obtained wounds.
Chapter 36 - "She Who Remembers" (Ship of Magic)
Quote:Shreever pleaded. She had a great gash down her shoulder where the white serpent had attacked her with his teeth. With his teeth, as if he were a shark instead of serpent. A thick green ichor was already closing the wound, but it stung sharply as she hurried to keep pace with Maulkin.
And then:
Prologue - "A Recollection of Wings" (Mad Ship)
Quote:Shreever considered confronting him about it, but decided against it. She eyed their leader anxiously. The injuries Maulkin had taken in his brief battle with the white serpent were healing slowly. The gouges disrupted the pattern of his scales.
