Vampires on both sides, and Kiki is now both good+bad hybrid. Is the envoy "Evil Gwynn", or "Evil Torg"? Agent Gnaww definitely qualify more as evil Aylee. Skip is evil Torg. And Meander is evil Gwynn. The envoy is the expy that is going to get killed at the end of the arc. And of course, Bun-Bun is "Evil Bun-Bun."

Does anyone else think that Kira's declaration will cause Wilcott to FINALLY have a revelation moment and switch sides?
And if he does, will Pete use the tired trope of having him die saving the world, or will he throw out yet another great Pete twist?

Does anyone have any idea why Lady Tomb dissolved the magic defense bubble around herself and Wilcott? That seems to be why Kira was able to grab Wilcott. It does not look like Kira's magic penetrated the defense; nor that Kira made the bubble dissolve. Rather, it looks like Lady Tomb negated her defense magic, herself. Why?

I think she was simply taken aback by Kira's entrance.

At last glance, the bubble does not include him.

I scrolled back to Nov. 17, and saw 1) that Lady Tomb has been raising and lowering her defense "shell" for a while now, and 2) that sometimes Wilcott is definitely outside of it, while at other times it looks like he's inside of the defense -- but that might simply be from proximity to the magic spell's light.

Hmmm. I've long suspected that the concept of disguising spells introduced with the Book of Uhglee was going to play a key role in the resolution of this chapter, and now as things are gearing up to reach the climax, Riff pulls out the Book of Uhglee. I'm practically convinced that just happened to position it to be used in the chapter's finale.

Okay, I'm predicting that Sam flies Torg up to Kira, and Torg takes a swipe at her -- only to find out that Chaz has just powered down.
Then again, this fight has happened pretty quickly, so I could be way off base there.
Also, at some point, Farahn is going to recognize that sword. They're probably watching all this now, right?

I think it's been said that you can't destroy KZK without destroying reality but what if you banished him to Timeless Space, would that work?

Interesting question. Does Timeless Space exist as one between the dimensions -- and if so, are there multiple creator/destroyer pairs, or are they universal as well?
