User blog comment:Segalia/Journey of Warriors: A Sequel to SRV/@comment-2142396-20160714203128

Hmm, now I’m really curious who that correspondent who had sent the letter is. It was implied that it’s a bird, and there was a line in the letter about ‘flying down’, but there are some details that tip me off – the very fact that there is a written letter sent, and the seed salad mentioned by the badgermum. I mean, most birds have more or less ‘wild’ lifestyle, both woodlander-friendly falcons and hawks and villainious crows and ravens. As far as I remember, only owls like, say, Boldred, were as civilized as the land beasts. So either we have a very intelligent bird there, or there is a bird working together with some land creature…of course, it’s entirely possible that I’m overthinking this, but that’s just something that piqued my interest.

That was an unexpected resolution to Rori and Carma’s relationship – they struck me as fast friends in SRV, but since in the sequel they became comfortable with each other enough to tease and flirt, I half-expected them to end together. So it was a surprise when Beraket entered the picture, but the outcome was so heart-warming and well-written that I couldn’t have wished for a better development. The moment when Carma realizes that she isn’t jealous of Rori because they are already a family was remarkable, and I smiled when Rori mentioned how he is okay with not knowing his biological family if they are anything like the badger villagers. ;) Yes, and twitterpated Rori is cute. :D I think it would be interesting to see how Beraket would get on with Seg, Ampanna, the foxes and the rest of Rori’s friends, but on the other hand, I know that her inclusion would take the focus off the tightly-knit group of our heroes. Still, since Naraudo is also having trouble fitting in with Ampanna’s friends, I can’t help but think that he would get on with Beraket just fine. ;)
