Okay, I was reading through Harlequin the other day and realised that I wasn't entirely sure what a certain word was. On the bright side it's going to be a quick thread to answer, but what is the asterisked word?

QUOTE
From the focus of my heart I call the words
Of anger spoken and desire revealed
By my Challenge of word and deed
By my blood consecrete thy bane invoked
Thy shape and form decreed never was.

On the Physical form, I call the words of rendering
On thy Hates, I invoke Justice, thy anger unappeased
On thy Past in shadows, I shine the light revelaed
On thy Loves and joys, I gift separation
On thy Spirit, I speak abandonment
On thy Future, I bring fear and grief
On thee I invoke all.

The winds shall erase thy name
The sands the traces of they path
The sun the ********* of thy shadow
And unto the waters I command thy essence
Thy Shape and Form decreed never was.

Thanks in advance.

How about a little more clarity, like which Harlequin book is it? What page?

As chance said, "The sun the coolness of thy shadow."

I have more or less the whole text under chal'han in my Sperethiel dictionary.

Ka_Ge mislead us! "Coolness" has only 8 letters, but he clearly posted 9 asterisks.

Obviously, I'm very upset about this. :(

Maybe the word includes punctuation?

The sun, the coolness, of thy shadow

At least, that's how I'd write it.

In the german version it says 'die Kühle Deines Schattens' which means 'the coolness of thy shadow'.

I laugh at you :D

It's not hard to read at all in my copy. You spill your coffee on it or something?

Beg pardon? You told me I could read any book that came before System Failure. Why this new restriction, and why didn't I learn of it until just now?
