If anyone would care to lay odds of their predictions happening
I wonder if we will find out more about Malik in TSK? I'm sure he's not Elf's father, but I'd be interested to see why he hates Misfits and mutations so much - I imagine there's something in his past that may help to explain (although I would guess not justify) his attitude...Will Malik turn out to be Elspeth's father?

4-1 that elspeth's issues with rushton aren't resolved in this book, but come right in the end (he'll follow her or something and do something heroic and highly pertinent).
Yes, I think one way or the other we'll find out what happened to him. I was wondering if Elf's vision of him in a CouncilCourt cell might have been a trueseeing, but you'd think they would have found him already, if that was the case. I wouldn't be surprised if he was found and tortured, although it may have been for associating with rebels, rather than specifically by Ariel. Still, I hope Domick's okay...Gypsy Wanderer
I think the Domick storyline will feature a bit more heavily, and that we'll find out what went on between he and Ariel. Personally, I think Ariel found him, caught him and tortured him, but I'm hoping to be proved wrong. If he's dead I'll cry.

It would make sense, although he may just be open-minded. Either way, I'm sure he'll be back. :)I'd also like to see some of the old, obscure characters come back, especially Gilbert who I think is a misfit.

I like the sound of that! I'd also like to learn more about some of the characters (their back-stories, etc) if it's not explained in the upcoming books. ;D And I'm okay with speculation to keep me distracted from waiting!Really though speculation just drives me nuts and i think that I will have to suggest a "What happened to......" explaination book from IC after its all done just to find out what happens that isn't explained in the books.

How does Elf know he is in councilcourt cell? surely a cell is a cell? Maybe it was some sort of red HerringYou could be right there - it could have been a blind. I don't trust Elspeth's vision that Swallow will be the one to go to Sador with her (I think it will be Iriny), so I don't know why I would believe this vision! ;D Elf certainly never did explain why she thought it was a Councilcourt cell. For one thing, I hardly think Elspeth would have seen the cells at the Councilcourt, so if he is in a cell, in reality it could be anywhere... Although Domick didn't agree with Obernewtyn's peaceful nature, I really don't think he'd betray them, or their allies. Unless he saw it as helping them – the only way to prevent them from being killed by the rebels or the Council or Herders?
Maybe it was some sort of red Herring - maybe even Malik has him - he was quick enough to use the misfits when they offered it - and then betrayed them in a VERY well planned attack (which could not have been thought up in so short a time). Malik also has access to old council buildings in his new 'kingdom'.Good point – maybe Malik or his cronies do have Domick. At the very least, Malik's preparation of a plan involving the Misfits does suggest that he was expecting them to help the rebels. Either way, I'm sure Malik was planning to kill some of the Misfits long before anything specific had been worked out.
I don't trust Elspeth's vision that Swallow will be the one to go to Sador with her (I think it will be Iriny), so I don't know why I would believe this vision! ;D

did Jik come from there? or was he at another cloister?
did Jik come from there? or was he at another cloister?As I understand it Jik was sent to Darthnor from Hearder Isle but I could be wrong.
Swallow will be the one to go to Sador with her (I think it will be Iriny),Interesting thought but Swallow has said that he and Elf are tied up in some way so i think it will be him....or maybe both....or maybe more gypsies will go as well. I think they'd be interested it seeing where the first D'rekta ended up and where she came from in the first place.
maybe Malik or his cronies do have DomickI still think Domick is on the West Coast and that it was he who (with the best of intentions) had Rushton captured by the herders and sent the messages to get the misfits involved with the rebelion. I think it was Domick that had Rushie drugged rather than tortured not realising how the drugs would affect him. I think he had a true dream showing him the only way of winning was to have the misfits involved.

I would personally love for some character development for Ariel... I want to know about his origins and why he is the way he is and how he discovered he was H'rayka... it's just that he's such an important character but we know jack bout him
I'm sure Swallow will be involved, but I thought not in Sador. Of course, I could be completely wrong! ;D I guess it partly depends on where the ancient promises were first spoken - if it was Sador, then Swallow must be going. Otherwise, maybe she sees him on the west coast (or somewhere else), but not necessarily in Sador...

I've been wondering that as well, and about Ariel's background. And Kella's. And that of practically everyone else, if we don't already know! ;DI'd also love to know where Steven Seraphim went...I'm sure he was still hanging around at Obernewtyn in Farseekers- so where is he now? :-/
