Last couple of pages I seem to read a lot of posts about people thinking that Annie has some kind of brilliant plan... When has Annie ever had a plan? |

Here's a theory: Annie's father tried to purge Annie of her fire elemental nature so that she wouldn't die the same way her mother did. Annie's elemental essence however survived the process, and Annie is keeping it a secret. Even if Anthony lost a hand trying to remove the fire element in Annie he might not know he failed in Ch. 38, Divine. Were those five bones holding the fire element his fingers? We didn’t see Annie using her fire in the next couple chapters. She used the Blinker stone but she did not use fire against Ysengrin when he attacks in Ch. 39, The Great Secret. She signals Eglamore who saves her. It isn’t until Ch. 41, Changes when Annie has become the Forest Medium to the Court and sets her hair on fire when she accepted that job that anyone publicly sees she still has the flame. Maybe one of the reason’s she wasn’t chosen for the job as Court Medium was the Court thought she didn’t have her flame power any more. Since then it has been obvious that Annie has just gotten stronger in her flame control and deeper in her involvement with the Forest. Her dad may have been called in to bring her into line. There are so may questions about Annie and the fire elemental we will have to wait on Tom for the answers. |

Notice in the treatise page that the fire is on the opposite side of Annie? Perhaps she runs to the forest but leaves the elemental behind

I'm actually thinking back to the chapter 50 Totem. When Coyote showed Annie how to "remove" life from a body. And also how the fairies have their spirits removed from their bodies. "Crueler still to keep them from their spirits. They are merely hollow vessels without them". HE also does point out that anyone can do it, even Annie. I assumed he meant remove life from another, but maybe he meant separate the spirit from herself. I wonder if this is applicable. Obviously her body is still functioning, so it isn't an exact equivalent, but the similarities do leave me wondering. |

Does this remark have deeper insight, just a throwaway remark? If it does, I'd be interested hear it, because I didn't get it, nor did I get the chapter where it was. Could just have been an allegory, but it had a huge foreshadowy taste in it. Hurting herself. Thinking she'll be fine. yep. wot keef said. she seems hell bent on self-destruction in the name of self-sufficiency? not losing face? Asking for help is a very difficult lesson to learn for some people. It involves trust. Don t talk to me about trust though!  |

[sufficientlysillyanswer]You forget that when Anthony fired the BONELASOR from his MOONBASE ON THE MOON, he used a HEAD-PIGEON as a spotter. [/sufficientlysillyanswer]  |
