SPOILERS FOR BY THE SWORD, SECRET HISTORIES AND EARLIER BOOKS! IF NOT UP TO DATE ON THE JACK SAGA DO NOT PROCEDE!!!



[SPOILER]
Jack has the sword in his possession ( more accurately his closet ). Rasalom has said that now that he knows of its existence he knows where to find it when he needs it.

I think Rasalom is going to pay Jack a visit right where he sleeps. Think about it. What else could shake up Jack like his worst enemy waking him up in the middle of the night just to fuck with him?

Also I suspect the sword will be used to kill the Lady. Anya died a physical death but apparently the Lady came back in other forms. Still, she is scared of Rasalom finding her. We know that she must die before Nightworld in order for Rasalom to set things off. If the physical death of Anya didn't kill her, then what will? I suspect it has to be a weapon of Otherworldly Orgin ( such as a sword made form flaming metal that fell out of the sky ).

If she died Glaeken, Glenn or whatever he wants to be called will have to be the one to tell Jack who she is.

Now one question I have is whether or not Rasalom felt Glaeken's presence in the multi-pronged massacre at the end of BTS. I suspect he will find out that Glaeken is mortal and weak ( though how weak I have to wonder after his disposal of Kenji and his buddy ).

It has been said that Rasalom hasn't acted sooner because he is scared of Glaeken. Well, not much time is left before Nightworld. Could Ground Zero be when he finds out?

I also expect a blow-out between Jack and Gia, either over his intrusion into her studio or because he may finally tell her the truth about the accident. He can't wait much longer, since the longer he waits the worse its gonna be.

I also expect the return of that mysterious black artifact that disappeared in secret histories.

Thoughts anybody? What do you expect to see?

[SPOILER]imho: the Seven were used to create (or retrofit) the Q'qr. They were grafted or something (and it is ironical that "imp" also means "graft" in old English). To reverse this, the Septimus Lodge must put their collective hand on the seven Infernals.

The Lillitongue was one of them - to have used it might have sent it back to the Lodge.

The black cube in Young Jack is maybe another one.

The sword... I do not know - wasn't it created using metal from a meteorit?

Are Kolabati and Kusum's necklaces an Infernal too? splitted in 3 ways millenias ago? (hey, did anyone notice that the "artist consort in BTS was Kolabati?)

Question to FPW: could you fix a little the Compendium so that we learn more on the Infernals?[/SPOILER]

Is there a thread anywhere for Ground Zero? Is this a new RJ book or Young RJ book? Has anything been released yet as to what it is about? Just curious.

[SPOILER]I doubt the cube is one of the infernals as the septimus members had other similar objects.

The Lillitongue returned to its place of orgin so I doubt its in any of the lodges. None of those buildings existed thousands of years ago.

Kolabati and Kusum's necklaces were made LONG after the Infernals. I think nightworld hinted at their real ages being in the hundreds, not thousands.

And Yes, it was supposed to be Kolabati, due to her role in Nightworld, but the problem is that in Nightworld she thinks Jack is dead.[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]Maybe they already have gathered some of the Infernals?[/SPOILER]

[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]It is called the Lillitongue of Gefreda - maybe Gefreda was a Septimus Member? or s/he helped assimilating the Seven into the Q'qr?[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]In Young Jack, we know that Quacker Road existed long before there were Quackers here, we just do not know how long...[/SPOILER]

Quacker Road? Was that next to Cockadoodle Doo Drive?[/SPOILER]

Quaker rd, I believe. Unless it was in reference to ducks....:p

aaah! that explains the Cockadoodle Doo Drive...

There should be a "caution, pun!" smiley, at least for me :p

Quack versus Quake? That's one goof in 946 posts. Not bad by any standard.
