Poof, Ms. Lane?
Subject: Aoibheal is Rowena???

I've been thinking more about Aoibheal's comments at the end of Spell, about the Unseelie princes, and about herself manipulating things very carefully. The Old Lady at the Museum (who's name is Rowena, if I read the teaser's correctly) was shocked that Mac could resist V'Lane. That would be the correct reaction if 1) V'Lane is really Unseelie, 2) lied about representing Aoibheal, 3) Aoibheal didn't know about their earlier exchange, and if 4) Rowena was really Aoibheal in disquise, and watched the whole thing. I get the feeling that Aoibheal would be shocked that a mortal could resist an Unseelie prince bent on ravishing her (and it is pretty amazing, the more I think about it). It is also true that a matriarch of the O'Connor's would probably by shocked too, but I'm starting to get a weird feeling about this 'Old lady.' So she says - what are you, and she also says - who are you? She says you look like 'Patrona's' but I'd have known if you were. Who is your mother?

Now, below, someone mentioned that it's possible that Machayla and Alina were sent to a remote town in Georgia, as babies, to be protected. I whole-heartedly agree with that assessment. I think that is obvious. And what if they were protected from the whole Seelie Court? That whoever did it did a very good job? (So that the girls could grow up, and into their full powers?). The extreme shock of the Old Lady is starting to make me nervous that she really is Aoibheal, taken by surprise. Also I note that Mac's mom - Rainey Lane is sooooo down for the count, as if she has known all along that she needed to prevent the girls from going to Ireland.

Anyway. In the teaser it says that someone (presumably not the Lord Master, but more powerful? wants the O'Conner Null dead at all costs). This would hint that Mac's presence is a free parameter (as we say in science), something that wasn't counted on. An independent variable. I think JB's reaction to her also shows that Mac is a totally unexpected presence in this drama.

I'm also still thinking about Aoibheal's comments about the vault that was locked up by Silvan for 'bzillions of years. I have to reread all that. There is a connection to Cian ,and ancient lore that I don't get. What was it that Silvan had to lock away? I also don't get how the Keltar line was able to be sustained without the presence of Cian, so I have to dig a bit more into this stuff. ;-)

Happy Memorial Day, everybody!

[> I am not so sure that Vlane is unseelie. He reminds me more of Adam before he started liking humans. You know Adam before immortal. V'lane did not rape her he let her get away. I think that he is a seelie prince just like Adam was. Remember Adam saig that Gabby was the first woman that did not just strip for him. -- JOJO

[> [> I think, if V'Lane is not Unseelie, then Rowena is not Aoibheal. Because supposedly V'Lane then would be working with Aoibheal, and she would already know about Mac. She wouldn't be 'shocked', the way Rowena was. --

I'm thinking about this and, -- Kells, 13:37:37 05/26/07 Sat [1]

I'm having trouble with this one. I think Rowena is a matriarichal figure -- a central connection between families of sidhe-seers. I think there are too many players who would be able to recognize Aoibheal, even disguised, who would do her harm.

I think the torques in and of themselves, are just jewelry, a fashion they acquired from the ancient Irish. The GOLD torque signifies their royal status. Darroc's is black. He wasn't royal? Hmmm.

I'm also of the camp that V'lane is Seelie. We saw in Adam's story, that many Seelie have little regard for humans -- Adam was very unusual in his fascination with mortals. He also said he was pretty young, and I suspect that influenced his interest. (How many little boys have you seen pretend to be Spiderman, or girls be princesses?)

I do think the Lord Master / Alina's boyfriend is Darroc, and he is up to no good. In Cian's story, Trevayne recalls a strange copper haired man who claimed to have lived with the Tua de, and could read the runes on the mirror, who was looking for the Dark Book. How exactly he has been amassing power, and how he got from court banishment to standing at a dolmen calling out Unseelie prisoners is yet unknown to us.

So we have to stay tuned. BTW, as a person who passed elementary algebra on the THIRD try, and only because I had LOTS of help, I am in awe of astrophysicists. Kudos to you!

It's really cool to have someone of your caliber and scientific background contributing. Adds a whole layer of plausibility to the thing. I think it was Dr. Arthur C. Clarke who noted that any technology sufficiently advanced will appear to be magic to the unknowledgable.

[> [> Yes! I totally forgot about seeing Darroc in Spell! I also have the sense that the torques are just jewelry. As for the rest - I'm not sure, but love talking about it! ps. I have trouble with math all the time - forget algebra - like with addition! ;-) --

[> [> I should find one of those evil grin icons to post whenever I have a new theory. The mad scientist! ;-) BTW I love your theories too. I don't know what I would do without you girls to kick ideas around with. I don't mind being wrong, but sometimes it's hearing someone else's idea that get's your imagination going, know what i mean? --

[> I am still of the thinking that V'Lane is Unseelie. I just don't take his word for it that he comes from Aoibheel. Plus didn't it say somewhere in Darkfever that she has disappeared and is no where to be found. How could he come from her? Oh well just speculating can't wait for October! -- Cheryle
