Varden's name is an old story dating back to Idon'tevenknowwhen.
I nicked it from an Orkney Island myth, where these creatures called "Varden" were the souls of people and took the form of an animal, which usually was an indication of the person's personality, and only made themself seen when the person was about to die.

Yes I could have called him Fylgje, but I like Varden better.
And no, despite popular belief, I did not name him after some Eragon concept. < <
re: Linds- Lindsay's always a shiba.

I love shibas, they're such nice but passionate people.
Mei- Passionate and argumentative makes me want to steer you towards small dogs, namely terriers.
