The whole passage and its context makes me shiver! Sorry I just couldn't resist putting it in as a new challenge. So, who, or what was spreading? who said it to whom? and in what book?
I love this too...just wonderful imagery!! I have to go back and read all of the other new challenges yet

I can't think if this exact quote would come from the Farseer books or the TM ones but I think I can recall that Fool speaks of Forging as a stain spreading down a shirt at least twice (??), at least once each in Farseer and once in TM. Hmm...I'm confident that it was connected to why the House of Farseer was called 'Farseer' (and this passage is why I called myself Farseer for this forum in the first place!

Forging was also said to be the sliding rock or pebble or landslide (something like that?!) as well as the blood stain? I always thought this was an interesting connection to the landslide that Fool and Fitz both faced whilst on the way to the MK!

Off to have a look at the others...what glee!
