I remember a scene from Pander you posted before, where Gareth is battling with Trystan. Now I know why Gareth was so enraged. It's clear that this scene is what shapes Gareth's personality through the rest of the book. An experience like this one couldn't be hinted at in memories, or flashbacks -- it has to be written out and read in its entirety to understand Gareth's motivations later on. It's a very gripping scene, and you didn't shy away from had to be described. Very good work, Esther!

Hugs,

That scene dealt with the part where Gareth had an epiphany of sorts, but yup he was caught up in his memories and waging a war with Trystan from the inside out. He’s had several run ins with Trystan, but unfortunately because of his upbringing, he can’t just kill the man, as much as he wants to, and even now this event influences his choices and has been a great hindrance in the past. Now the funny thing. This _is_ a flashback. *G* Karma’s presence in his world has dredged up unpleasant memories. But no worries, because he has this flashback before the scene you mentioned so it’s all good. Thanks for clarifying this for me.

Hugs
