A clue few have mentioned...

There was a clue mentioned in the very first pages of The Last Elf of Lanis and few have mentioned it.

In the first chapter, the elf turns to look at the Archer with 'sea green eyes'.



At the very beginning of the second chapter, the human woman Wynnfrith turns to look at her son Arnwylf with 'sea green eyes'.


A simple assumption leads in a straight line to the conclusion that Wynnfrith has elven blood somewhere in her family history.


Then when we find out Wynnfrith is a 'heid', a seeress, and her mother, Alrhett, can speak with animals, it is undeniable that these humans have an elven ancestor somewhere in their past lineage. 


Aha! It was all there in the very first pages... :)




cheers,

Also, as we find out both Frea and her mother Halldora have unusual powers because of a distant elven ancestor mixed in somewhere in the past.

This follows a form of logic: The elven supernatural powers within the human lineage are passed down from Mother to daughter, but not mother to son.

So no male human would ever manifest any supernatural abilities.
