Looking for a couple of names

I am quite glad that I was able to find a forum with a section dedicated towards finding names of books, since I have a couple I have been looking for since I read them in highschool about 5 years ago.

The first one that I would really like to know the title of was about a man trying to find the reincarnation of his love over a long time (somehow he is able to stay alive for a long time, or he kept reincarnating, I can't remember). In the "current" time he is a really old alchemist, and he finds the girl again, but unfortunatly she is quite young. He ends up teaching her some of the alchemy, and in one of the other times, he finds her but she ends up becoming a warrior and gets a fancy face tatto that I think was the shape of a moon, and that's just about all I remember. I am sure that it was the first of a series, but I never got to read any of the later ones.

The second book I am trying to find again was about a group of people following a prophecy along the lines of "one eye in a storm" and they find a young man (during a large storm) who had just injured his eye, so they take him with them for some quest. I'm not too sure about the details, but I know a lot of it took place on a boat, and one of the characters was a tiny girl who rode on the back of a fox.

Hopefully someone can figure out what book I am talking about, I have been dying to re-read them. Thanks in advance!

The first book could be Daggerspell by Katherine Kerr which from memory is the first in the Dverry series.
