Prompt #6: Make some predictions about what you think will happen in future chapters. What support can you find?
Eternal Knight (Chapters 9-18)
*spoiler alert* Hadde goes to Sal-Oras, the capitol of Salador, where she finally meets the king, Boradin, and the over six-hundred-year-old Spiridus ambassador from her land, Orlos. Since Boradin is a famous elementar who is able to control forces of nature like fire and wind, Hadde asks him for help to end The Wasting. However, he tells her that he cannot even help his own kingdom from its destruction and famine. "'Elemental magic has no bearing on the Wasting. I cannot call fire and burn it away. I cannot call the wind to blow it away. The Wasting is simply, death'" (Heppe 96). He is convinced, however, that the Orb Hadde found in the middle of the Great Forest was a sign from the land of Landomere and that Hadde will be able to help him. He tells her that a "Orb of Creation" must be recovered in order to end The Wasting. He says that the clues of the Orb's whereabouts "are in the Ancient Texts. In their prophecies" (Heppe 98). Later, as Hadde becomes adjusted to palace life at Sal-Oras, the ancient Orlos reveals that he discovered part of the prophecy, that the "offspring of the archer will slay the sun" (Heppe 154). He didn't tell Boradin yet, since the quote could be translated and interpreted as the offspring of the archer will kill the king of Salador. Hadde earned a reputation for being an excellent archer, so this would easily point towards her. I think that if Boradin finds out the second half of the prophecy, he might try to detain Hadde. The offspring of the archer could mean Hadde, since her father was an archer before her, or, it could mean Hadde's children if she has any in the future. Hadde also developed a relationship with Prince Morin, the king's half-brother, who is also an elementar. There are rumors of him being a traitor and having challenged his brother for the throne years ago. Judging by his actions and the comments from Queen Ilana, I think that Morin will turn out to be an untrustworthy character. Also, Earl Waltas keeps on reappearing in the chapters, which will probably develop into a larger conflict as he tries to take revenge on Hadde for ruining his status and position.
