But that argument reminded Covenant bitterly that he was less capable of help than anyone in the Land.
Especially since he stuck the magic sword (Krill) into a stone. Is it still there ... locked in the stone?
Ok, Covenant feels helpless because he can't control the 'white gold,' but does he ever ask anyone for help learning to use it?
Why doesn't Elena or Mhoram or any of the other lords simply sit down and go, "Right, let's work with Covenant to work out how to use the 'white gold.'"
No one thinks of this simple approach because everyone is as thick as two short planks. Really???
