You mean that they are melded together into one being...one mind,but two pasts. Very difficult to explain! I beleive that David Gemmell had this at the end of Dark Prince, when the Dirae(sorry it not spelled right) is melded with herself from a different dimension, and they are turned into her, as i said one person, but two pasts.

Yeh thats pretty much what I was trying to say.

Another way of looking at it is that both Askari and Jianna merged to form a new/completely different personality, for arguments sake ill baptise the new personality as "Jikari"

The new personality has the memories of the two original personalities but how the character would have played out if thereswas a 3rd book i.e. does the new personality overcome the memories of the originals and affirm her "own" identity etc..... we'll never find out

Hmm. When 'Askari' wa son the horse's back the dude who got the armor of bronze asked if they will see her again. Her 'Carefull what you wish for' would suggest Jianna is alive and kicking, sadly.

Guess we'll never find out for real

Oh well, leave it to everyones interpretation I suppose. There is no right or wrong answer really.
