I just finished The Riddle and...gaaahh!!!... i just dont know if anything is going to happen with them anymore.I mean maybe what happened with Arkan helped her to be able to be to be more open to love and stuff (if you guys know what i mean)but then ....... that thing she said about Cadvan being father, mentor,and friend all rolled into one and how she loved him but not like you know loved him.........was she lying to herself then? or was she finally telling herself the truth:confused: you know.... i think Cadvan is starting to fall for Maerad....but i cant tell if Maerad feels the same way though. I'm very confused!!!!

hey sofia... so tru... i felt the same way after the riddle... but it was still a great read, and we can but hope for them! here's hoping alison is thinking along the same veins as all us m and c fans!

Don't get me wrong, I also wish that they could be together, but I have one reason on why they won't:

Their age difference is too great, she's 16 and he's about 35, and that makes an age difference of 19 years. Maerad isn't even an adult yet.

But still, the possiblility of Cadvan becoming a father figure to Maerad is likely.:rolleyes:

Polgara was hundreds of years older than Durnik, and that turned out well, he even became immortal so he could live with her forever, wedding pressie from the gods I think.

Araya and Laeird in The Priestess of the White also had a few hundred years between them, it could happen

lol i felt the same way, but i am M&C fan so im hoping that Arkan had open her heart to love and that when
inka-reb called maerad a liar that he said that because she was not being honest about her feelings towards cadvan

i kno if said this before..somewhere..lol....but if the roles were reversed alot of ppl wouldnt have as much problems with it.....take eragon for example..BIG age difference..but a lot of ppl still want it to happen(meaning me..lol) so why cant Maerad and Cadvan happen???????????

lol, cadvan's about seventy!! That's an even more huge age difference! But I don't think it matters, if they really love each other. :o And maerad is part elidhu, so she could live longer than a normal bard (ardina's ANCIENT). And Cadvan is a father figure to maerad right now, as well as a friend and teacher, but so was dernhil, and she liked him. So maerad and cadvan can totally happen!! :D

And in Eragon, as piglover pointed out, we don't care that Arya is like a century older than he is, because their lives are so long. :D
