Poll: Do You think Dameon will Die in the last book, if so how.
Dameon Will Die

Dameon will live and return to Obernewtyn and fall in Love

Dameon Will Die, just before telling Elspeth how he feels

Dameon Will tell Elspeth how he feels, but the both live and they both feel bad

Dameon will live

Other

I like to think I have some awesome theories, as I am very good at predicting movies and TV shows, ( no like seriously its impressive) Also I have a poll about Dameon.

Here they are: Theories

Cassandra/Kasanda - because she was never found she is being kept in the city by the efari in some sort of suspended animation, sounds a little crazy at first to think of but

Dameon - I think he will be killed of sadly, and there will be some deeply saddening tormented moment where he tells Elspeth before he dies, or maybe she will give him a pity heartbroken kiss when she realises that her best friend is in love with her. I hope I am wrong, if I had my way Dameon would fall in love.

Matthew and Dragon will end up together, I think this is a bit more obvious

Rushton will cut it close, and Elspeth will have to save him, or Elspeth will be saved by Rushton somehow.

Elspeth and Ariel will fight it out, literally, I think

CRAZY UNLIKELY THEORY * JESS ELSPETH BROTHER IS NOT DEAD.... but that is very unlikely,

Questions:

- Would love to know what beast came up out of the sand and killed the wolves

- What ever did happen to Jacob Obernewtyn

- What happened to the little owl after it flew off

- Also how does salamander fit in..... hmmmmmm

Over All, I feel like it is going to be forever........... until we get the last book.

Please feel free to jump in with comments and theories......

I agree with your theory about Jes, Enaj. Jes is one of my personal favourites for the role of Destroyer. I just can't believe the only reason IC reintroduced him (and his power!) in the first book was just so Rushton could show Elspeth a bit of kindness. There's got to be more significance to it than that!

EXACTLY... LIKE YIN and YANG... the balance would fit perfect of brother and sister good and bad.....

I remember my English teacher telling one thing I have never forgot when it came to film and books, the writer does Everything for a reason, there is no coincidence.

:nods: Completely agree.

(unless the writer waffles a lot.... Then LOTS of irrelevant things happen. OODLES. A BOOKFUL :P [act]wonders whether Shonk's cattle prod will find her even in this thread[/act]).

Ahem. As I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself, yes! The symmetry of that choice appeals to me a great deal. Jes for destroyer! HUZZAH!

Oh, and my other personal favourite potential destroyer is Dameon. If he isn't, though, then I think it's highly like he'll die, and definitely after telling Elspeth that he loves her. As if the poor girl isn't struggling enough with her feelings as it is! Sigh.

And Matthew and Dragon - check.
Elspeth and Ariel physically fighting - I quite like that thought, for some reason :).
Kasanda - hmm, I personally think she really is dead, but there's nothing to suggest you're wrong.

I agree with Jes will return theory. We have such a lack of knowledge about him... maybe he is even somehow linked to Ariel (being Elf's bro, Ariel would find him very useful...) Rosamunde may also be connected to all this. She claims she saw Jes die but... I'm not even really sure where Rosamunde went in the past five books or so... hmmm...

I still think Dameon is the destroyer and that his love for Elspeth drives him nutbaggy :P Thus he will probably end up dying after Elspeth finds out that he loves her and there will be lots of drama and woe and it will be wonderful [act]flails about a little[/act]

About Jes, though, I am really undecided. Interviews with IC seem to confirm that she has played with the idea of brining him back but they seemed undecided, so I guess it could go either way there.

But if Matthew and Dragon don't at least HUG I will be vastly disappointed :nods:

[act]Skips away easily, sniggering at Shonk's preoccupation with hugs, particularly involving characters named Matthew.[/act]

Bet Matthew dies just before Dragon can get her hands on him. I wonder if I can doctor the version of TRQ you get so that's what happens... While the rest of us get the real version, where there are hugs galore :nods:

I totally agree with the whole Jes returning theory.
Any else noticed how in nearly every single book Elf thinks about visiting his grave but she never has the chance to? o_O this makes me very suspicious...

And I think either Matthew or Dameon will die. I used to think it would be Matthew but i'm starting to think it will be Dameon...

It's right at the start of TKP I think, it comes up when she's walking back from Maryon's with the shawl and slippers and comes across some futuretellers working on the tapestry.

Or it could have been after looking at the dream book..or that could have been the same visit, I don't remember. Either way its prior to the moonfair.

I remember that bit when she saw all the futuretellers with the tapestry and now you say that I'm beginning to vaguely remember something about Rosamunde there. Thanks ;D

I believe Dameon will die for Elspeth to save her and that he won't express his love for her because he doesn't want her to hurt like that.

Since the Herders were interested in Misfits with Talents, I believe that they somehow coerced Rosamunde into believing something she didn't see and that Jes is indeed still alive.

Interesting theory about Jes, I would never have thought more of him other than he is dead, but would be interesting to have such sibling rivalry!! I like the idea of Dameon protecting Elf's feelings until the end. He'd be protecting himself!
Who do you think is still alive after The Sending?
Can anyone remember what happened to Jakoby's father? Maybe he is Salamander and travelling with Seresh his daughter.

There's a response missing in the poll:
"I think Dameon will die but refuse to believe it, preferring my happy fantasy land in which he helps Elf continue her quest and they live happily ever after together in love."

I'm really a little bit torn: on one level, the typical prediction would be that Dameon dies after confessing his love, and Elspeth is deeply moved but because he's dead she never really has to confront the situation. On the other hand, that's a bit of an easy option out for Elspeth, and in a way for Isobelle, too, and for that reason, I can't quite see it happening.

Personally, I think (or hope? The line blurs sometimes) that Rushton is going to die from his little fever he's got going on goodness knows where, and Elspeth will be forced to sever their golden link with her black sword. It's going to half kill her, but Dameon will probably save the day by convincing her to live.

As for the great Jes debate, I'm in favour of he's alive. I'm not completely sold on him being the destroyer (though it would be kind of cool), but I can see him popping up in the LotRQ or somewhere as the leader of a parallel misfit group, who have developed underground (metaphorically) in a similar but slightly different way to Obernewtyn. After all, he was connected to all those other misfits in the orphanage.
As to why Rosamunde thinks he was dead, I think Jes coerced her into thinking that, so that she wouldn't be dragged into the inquiry any further, or pine after him, or think of running away to be with him.

I don't think Rushton will die but I believe you are correct in saying that Isobelle won't take the easy way out. I have talked to her and she says she is one for happy endings and if she killed of Rushton I think it would kill a lot of our hearts

I wouldn't mind if Rushton died, but I really think it will be Dameon. As for Jes coming back, I just can't see it. Isobelle has said that the destroyer has been the same from the beginning, so I really don't see a 'maybe I'll bring him back' as Jes being the destroyer. I think I'd be really disappointed if that happened.

YAY- because I couldn't stand the thought of Rushton dying, he is perfect for Elspeth, they are meant for each other after everything they have been through. I whish that Dameon would find someone, and that way it really would be a happy ending.... As long as Rushton and Elspeth end up together happily..... I will be happy with the ending.... I don't want Matthew or Dameon to die either though....

I dont think Dameon is in love with Elspeth... in the sense you mean. I think they're just really good friends and I think Carmody won't have them fall in love because she will want to make a point about how it is possible for a woman and a man to just be friends. I think (hope) Dameon does survive and falls in love with someone during the last book. I really dont want him to die, but I've got a slight feeling that Carmody likes bitter-sweet or tragic endings and am a little worried that I will spend the whole time crying through the final book. :S

IC has said in interviews that she hadn't meant for Dameon to fall romantically in love with Elspeth when she started writing Obernewtyn but that it happened of it's own accord.
That doesn't mean that there aren't examples of men and women just being good friends in the books. Consider Elf and Matthew, as well as the dude with the limp in TSK and his friend who runs the food stall. Probably some others but I can't remember.

The boy and girl friendship was more Matthew and Elspeth. While Isobelle actually likes Happy endings (so she has told me) it doesn't mean there won't be sadness.
