More time passes and Triscuit is still in the dark. Physically too. But the light has started to come in so I suppose that's a good thing. People come down into the Sanctuary, or at least the five Sorceresses do. Succi is Very Pregnant. Looking to be about eight months. "Pregnancy some how made her even more impossibly beautiful, the almond eyes, the long black hair, the red lips even more inviting". This woman just RAPED you and you're still finding her beyond attractive?! Not only that, it's not the fact that she raped him that bothers him, it's the fact that she's carrying his first born child.

Also... if your child hasn't been born yet, how can it be your first born child? I guess this is like a preannouncement of an impending pregnancy.

Earwig tries to convince Failee not to go ahead with the ritual (he calls her woman, which would really endear me to him if I was trying to be convinced) Of course, she doesn't listen to him. Instead she makes it so it's impossible for him to move or speak, thus preventing him from sending any signals to Triscuit.

Our hero is trying to figure out what it was Earwig was trying to tell him obliquely. He's also worried about what will happen when the Reckoning takes place, apparently forgetting that it'll be the end of everything (since you know, they're going to fuck it up) instead he's all "We're going to be enslaved!" I'd say he's an idiot, that would be redundant.

Fortunately! He figures it out Just in the Nick of Time! *GASP* He's supposed to bring the Stone to him thus disrupting the ceremony. He then starts to wonder... well, he has no water to submerge it in, will that cause the stone to die? (And why can't he wear it? I don't know).

Anyway, he tries and he tries and he listens to his heart and he blood "And then he heard his call to him. No, Chosen One. Do not use your mind. Use Me, his blood seemed to whisper from somewhere far away. " Yes. His blood is talking to him. Using words. Actual words. Yes. Words. I think Triscuit needs to get checked in somewhere. They have words for people like him. And white coats. Special nice white coats.

So, Triscuit uses ~~the Force~~ his blood, which spews out of him in a long hideous tentacle grabbing the stone and dropping it onto the ground.

Okay. That actually doesn't happen.

Triscuit lifts up the glowing Stone filled with shards of light and drops it onto the floor. The Shards of light hit each of the Sorceresses and they scream a lot as they get sliced and diced. The Gibbets vanish and "Triscuit landed like a cat, despite the weakness in his legs". Almost the SAME exact wording as last time.

All the Sorceresses are dead.

Everwhere he looked there was blood. It covered the floor in pools and dripped long, crimson fingers down the Sanctuary walls. Failee, Vona, Zabarra, and Succiu all lay on the floor, dead. Zabarra had been decapitated, Vona was missing an arm, Failee a leg. Succiu, covered with blood, stared blindly up at the ceiling from where she lay on her back. The prince looked sadly at her abdomen, mourning the child she had carried. My firstborn he thought.

Well, that was anti-climatic. No yelling. No screaming. No "NOW AT LAST I HAVE MY REVENGE YOU EVIL SORCERESS BITCH!!" I mean... what's the point of all those Dire Proclamations if you aren't going to actually use them?

SOMEHOW Sister isn't dead. No reason for this is given. She's just not dead. Instead she's crying hysterically. But not dead. I guess it's just that She's Just That Special. No one even comments about this.

It turns out Earwig and Failee were married. Which explains a WHOLE lot in my opinion. I mean I'd go evil if I was married to such an ignoramus.

Earwig disrobes.

I'm struck blind.

For some reason, Earwig needs to disrobe to take the locket out and put the Stone into it which holds the Bloody Water.

I'm still blind.

Earwig is pleased that Triscuit figured out his riddle.

Oh wait. We get an explanation as to why Triscuit and his sister survived. They are Just That Special. "I can only assume that, ironically, it was the vast quality of your blood that protected you from [the magical killer shards of light]. Simply put, your blood may have been too powerful for them to thrive upon, and so they rejected it."

Can we get a vampire? Please? Angelus? I'm sure he'd have a good time with Triscuit.

Triscuit:*stares blankly at Angelus*
Angelus: Oh come on, is that all you're going to do?
Triscuit: You cannot - *GACKS as Angelus gets bored and attacks him, sucking the blood from his neck*
Angelus:*Gags spits* Ohh... I think that was bad blood there. *sticks his hand in Triscuit's chest and pulls out his heart* There we go. *tap dances on the heart*
Triscuit:*falls dead*

I feel better now.

So. They decide that it's an appropriate time to skeedadle. An intelligent decision on their part. However there's an issue with Sister. See since she thinks she's one of the Coven (even though she's currently a gibbering idiot) that makes her dangerous. So they might have to leave her behind. Also apparently there's a problem with the baby. See... even though she's not even born, she might think that's she's EVIL and one of the EVIL sorceresses because mommy thought she was.

I'm not really sure how that works.

Of course, I'm not really sure how most of this book works.

So, they need to leave quickly, so of course Triscuit decides to stop and fight the Evil Gargoyles. Not to stop them from rampaging across the country side but be cause he has a score to settle. And then! He uses magic to kill the Gargoyle that wants to eat his heart, by magically throwing his daggers at it. It dies horribly and apparently the stupid Gargoyles feel the need to avenge his death. And eat.

Wigg uses magic to set them all on fire and they all die horribly.

Just as they're about to leave they realize Sushi is gone. See, apparently since she was carrying Triscuit's baby she had some of the Chosen One's blood in her and was protected. She then fled. Of course Triscuit follows her.

She manages to get up onto the roof. Triscuit follows her. She has no power. Triscuit hesitates in killing her because she's a weak helpless woman. No thoughts about her raping him are mentioned.

But it was her face that he found most arresting. She had a softer, more compassionate look, as if the wounding by the shards or the loss of so much endowed blood had in some way given her a greater sense of vulnerability. The almond-shaped eyes looked at him with apparent sadness in place of the loathing and hatred he was accustomed to seeing in her face.

Hello. Once again. She RAPED you. She's EVIL! She needs to DIE.

She starts to go into labor and he begs her to let the kid be born and then he'll give her an easy death. She jumps off the roof instead asking for his forgiveness... She's Evil. She only wanted him around for his babies. She'd kill him. But she's asking his forgiveness for killing herself and the baby.

Yes.

Triscuit then leaves sadly to find the others. He takes the dead baby and buries it in it's own grave. He named it after his father, Nicholas.

And then they leave for the Ghetto of the Shunned after commenting that Sister as a medallion just like Triscuit does.

Does... Not... Compute.

I have a new theory. This book comes from an alternate universe, with a different logic from ours, and there it made sense.

I doubt even alternate universes will accept this gibberish. Bizarro World would say "HELLS NO! That ain't ours!" XD
