Alla:

Oh. I see. Because I was confused. I thought there is some sort of 
gradation and the Older Old ones are Will's masters or something, but 
I guess there is some unknown to us entity, like higher master of 
Light or something, yes?

Alla:

Just for the sake of it of being an old one :) I mean, dog would not 
have been killed had Will not come, no?

I mean, you right Bran got human friend though because Will came, and 
it is not Will's fault, but I thought slap will not hurt. I like 
slapping characters, you know me.

Alla:

Oh. Ooops. My bad :)

May I ask another question of the same variety though? Light had the 
sign before it was given to Walker, no?

They or Merriman could not just give it to Will? They had to give it 
to somebody else to give it to Will? And I am not just talking about 
Walker's punishment, I am mainly wondering why the third person was 
needed for that, ANY third person, Walker or somebody else.

I do find it silly too, but as I said, I realise better not to think 
of those things, as I learned.

But maybe text indeed offers some reasoning and I missed it?
