===Merlin's Introduction to Amber===

Federico talks with his grandfather (Jirel? I did not hear most of their conversation.)

While in Amber, Hector gets a call from Dara (the younger) who tells him that they have an 11-year-old son, Merlin!  He is shocked, but Dara explains further that Brand is after Merlin -- and Dara the elder is planning to use him in some horrible way.  Dara asks Hector to protect Merlin in Amber.  She suggests she might also need protection.  (Hector demurs on this one, but considers it.)  Dara explains stuff about the Logrus, the giant serpent, and how the Jewel of Judgement is the eye of the serpent.  

Hector confesses this to Janica, and the two go to talk with King Eric.  Hector realizes Janica is Eric's daughter.  Suddenly Dara again calls Hector through trump, explaining that some emergency requires he come through now.  Hector pulls Merlin through, but then Dara also jumps through.  Finding herself in the trone room, she attacks Eric with a knife.  Janica stabs her, and she flees, bleeding fire.  Eric shoots her full of arrows as she jumps out the window, sprouts wings, and flies off.
