Kat still has Diego’s arrow. It would be ironic if they used the arrow to stop Ysengrin and he ended up becoming the next Guardian of the Annan. If the tooth could be used to separate Ysengrin from his desire to relegate humans to whatever a wolf thinks their proper place is, and then Diego's arrow was used to shoot that desire and pin it to the bottom of the Annan where it died, [edit] and Antimony was the one who shot him so there'd be a sense betrayal, [/edit] that might possibly work. And it would be worth all the effort just to see the face of everyone in the RotD when that mess happened. [edit] If Ys was merely shot with the arrow then, assuming it was powerful enough to do so, he'd just be stuck inside while his body died from the wound and I don't think that Antimony loves him enough to get pinned to the spot from that. The only other candidate I can think of is Coyote and he's been killed and eaten by Ys so that's a non-starter. But to separate Ys from his desire to make humans see their proper place in the world all you'd need is a method of rendering allegory visible, such as allowing people to see dreams, and the tooth to do some psychic surgery. That should be possible for someone in the Court who uses spells or etheric sciences.[/edit] |

"What the hell is going on in this chapter?!?!" Just another boring love triangle.
Coyote flirted with Annie, he got smack when he first met Annie for sticking his nose where he shouldn't, he disguised himself as an Elf kissing Annie's arm, etc. Ysengrin just got rid of romantic rival. Animal kingdom favours more direct approaches to solving problems.

I am now officially on-board the train that agrees Ysengrin DEFINITELY killed/ate Coyote.....but then Coyote realized he was Ysengrin, too. Or Ys realized he was Coyote too? As Runningflame noted above... you are what you eat. |

Ysengrin: *secretly fulfills Coyote's vore fetish*
This was the plan all along, yes yes! :3
...or maybe I'm just to scaredy-canid to acknowledge when one of my plans goes disasterously, irreparably wrong. You pick!

nobody mentioned, but ys' legs/forepaws aren't shaking. That's a cool detail that I enjoyed.

In all your talk about an upcoming war, I would like to ask the question which denizen's of Gillitie would actually want to fight the Court? The Shadow People might join, but neither the Anwyn nor the fairies or the bulk of the animals and mythological creatures in the forest seemed violent or resentful towards the Court or humans in general - especially after Andrew helped many of them when he visited together with Annie. Even the monsters might only grudgingly let themselves be "conscripted" into an attack. Last time they didn't make the impression of wanting to fight for Ysengrin any more. Of course he'd be able to beat them into submission, but an army acquired this way might not fight that well... b) also start the long awaited divide between Kat and Annie, by Kat bringing out the heavy weapons she (should) have been constructing/going full MechaGoddess, against Y's, and Annie defending him. What weapons? The Omega Device Coyote Tooth Kat MechaGoddess form Diego's arrow ... Is there a Official list of Chekhov's guns loaded and ready? There's Kat's "magic" wand (kinda overlaps w/ "MechaGoddess form) & computer, not to mention the fanatical shadows, fanatical robot cult, and the totally mysterious Tic-tocs. Although I guess the "robot cult" gun has already been fired once. I don't think something qualifies as a " Chekhov's gun" if people talk and speculate about it basically after every new page comes out. Also, most of these things were NOT introduced as insignificant background details. Now, if for example those things looking like bolas hanging from the door of Eglamore's office would be used to stop Ysengrin, THAT would be a true Chekhov's gun. |

Well, they were resentful for being forgotten AND for Ysengrin being second to Coyote AND for Y's being "soft" for bringing a human there. All that would be put aside if an Alpha Y's, with a God's strength called at arms AGAINST humans, I think. |

Or, in that same page, in that same wall, the framed knife results being a Coyote tooth given to Surma herself, and passed to Eglamore! |

Of course he'd be able to beat them into submission, but an army acquired this way might not fight that well... And it's possible that, after receiving a taste of actual fighting, war might seem less appealing to them after that. I do think that's a good point; most of the forest-folk don't seem to really want a war with the Court. I wonder if they've moved on from whatever started the quarrel; it seems to have been generations ago, and it's likely that the bulk of Gilltie's inhabitants have gotten over it, might even have forgotten it. I also think that what the Court and the Wood really need at this point is some sort of meeting to get to the root of what the quarrel is about, why this tension between them. Of course, the obvious problem is that the Court thinks it's beneath its dignity to negotiate with talking animals and that people like Ysengrin are more at home with snarling, growling, and threats of violence than reasoning out disagreements. (And Coyote probably wouldn't help matters either; he'd be constantly disrupting the proceedings and trying to make it all about himself.) For that matter, if the source of the trouble is the Court's experiments with the ether, then that could be an impasse, since there's no way that the Court's going to agree to give that up. |
