Matthew Sampson asked Peter A. Flannery:

Greetings Mr. Flannery! Just finished Decimus Fate, and I really liked it. I am confused about one thing though, and maybe this is just something that went over my head, but what does the initial chapter have to do with the story? I couldn't figure out what the blue tile section was about or how it related to the characters in the story. Is there something I'm missing?

Peter A. Flannery Hi Matthew.
I'm delighted that you enjoyed Decimus Fate, and please be reassured that you did not miss anything. Aside from that first chapter, the 'Blue Tile' is not metnioned again in this book. Indeed, it might not be mentioned again for several more books, but rest assured... it will all become clear at some point.

As Lonrúil Croí says... 'He is Fate… Who knows what he sees when he gazes down the river of time.’

Thanks for the question. I am quite sure that others will also be wondering about this and hopefully some of them will find the answer here.

Hope you are staying safe and well

Peter
