At the same time, though, his son Merlin is an adult by the time the two men first meet, despite having been conceived by Corwin only weeks (months at the most) before said meeting. Then, finally, during Corwin's monologue at the end of "Courts of Chaos", he mentions that "years have passed in Amber, and more will pass before I return" or something to that effect, even though his speech comes only a few hours after the Patternfall battle was fought outside of the Courts.I don't recall them mentioning it much in the second series, except that I believe Merlin heads to a fast time shadow near Chaos at one point to heal up in one of the later books (the shadow he played in as a kid with Rhanda, the shroudling, IIRC.)</blockquote>
