Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
Rodda, Emily
Ruby. The Ruby is the symbol for happiness, and pales in the presence of evil.
When truth and lies are one. All who pass must answer the giant's question. Lief manages to not only save himself, but make truth and lies one. (He made a paradox.)
pity. Jasmine pitied the man, who was actually a bird bespelled by Thaegan.
106. There were 104 that Lief almost answered, but he forgot to add Thaegan. Then he answered 105, but the answer was 106, because Thaegan's favorite food was a raven swallowed whole.
Speak. The ancient race, the Ralad, had been bespelled by Thaegan (who seems to enjoy bespelling people) so that they couldn't talk. When Thaegan died, all of her spells were undone.
Ring And Enter. The sign was only half, and the full sign said, "Warning! Ring of Quicksand. Do Not Enter"
They talked backwards. "Nij" and "Doj" were really Jin and Jod, children of Thaegan. They had a spell on them that made them seem nice. Everything they said was backwards, but Lief, cleaning the Topaz which clears the mind, understood them.
Because it was pink. Lief tried to remember which gem was pink, when he remembered that the Ruby paled in the presence of evil.
He cut her pinky. The only unprotected part of Thaegan was the pinky she did magic with. Kree couldn't stab her through the heart because Thaegan was protected by spells. I got the part about eating out the liver from a Greek myth about Prometheus giving fire to the humans and as punishment, Prometheus was chained to a mountain where an eagle ate out his liver every day. Kree has no magical powers that we know of. I hope you enjoyed my second quiz!
sixteen. It was Lief's sixteenth birthday and he was strangely rescued from a Gray Guard.
Crian. Jarred stays and becomes "smitten" with Crian's daughter. He becomes the blacksmith after Crian dies, and sires Lief. (Or does he?)
Filli and Kree. Filli, the rodent-like creature, and Kree, the crow, both lived with Jasmine.
Lillies of Life. Gorl killed anyone who tried to steal the Lillies of Life, even his own brothers. However, the Lillies of Life never bloomed until Gorl died.
A hand. In the beginning of Part Two, Lief is in the backyard of a pottery and sees the sign. There's even a picture of it!
Her mother. Jasmine's mother told Jasmine to leave the Forests and join Lief and Barda in their quest. Without Jasmine, the quest would have been lost many, many times.
EL. They talk about the secret code in the beginning. The note said "Del onel o telgel o telo tel hele kel itel cel hele nel sel mel i neli sel telhel e rele." Which, taking out the EL's said "Do not go to the kitchens. Min is there." I hope you enjoyed my quiz. I'll have the other quiz for the books out soon!
Hot and Tot. Fie and Fly say "No", Jin and Jod are dead, and Ichabod wants it all for himself. Hot and Tot say, "Equal shares", until Ichabod knocks their heads together. I always think of Hot and Tot saying, "Equal shares" in a really high voice, but that's just me.
Ichabod. The "Dreaded Ichabod" was the only one left standing after the fight of Thaegan's children over the pieces of Lief, Barda, and Jasmine.
Honeycomb. This was a really small part, but when Jasmine, Barda, and Lief crossed the border from Thaegan's lands, there was a small paragraph on eating food the Ralads gave them.
Clean themselves. Among many other amazing inventions at Tom's shop, there was a plate that could clean itself.
Eighteen gold coins. "'Eighteen!' he said. 'with saddles and bridles thrown in.'"
Noodle. "After some discussion, Jasmine took Zanzee, Lief took Noodle, and Barda took Pip."
Red. The Ra-Katcher was really the Rat Catcher, in the city of rats.
Silver. Lief didn't recognize that the goblet was the same as the one in No-Radz at first. Lief wasn't certain that the goblet was silver, because it was; "Stained and tarnished with age and neglect."
A snake. Reeah held the Opal in its crown. Reeah started out as a "Tender worm" but grew with the rats the ratcatchers fed it.
Hope. "So now we have the Topaz for faith, the Ruby for happiness, and the Opal for hope."
Six. They took nine, and ate six, and had three left.
Bees. The bees had been riding on the old woman's shawl. "My guards are small, but many, and act with one mind."
Ten. On the chart, you could see a ten as the highest. "Why, you could win five, six, or TEN silver pieces. Ten silver coins for one!"
Birdie. When asked their names, Barda came up with really absurd names, but they somehow relate to their real names, except for Berry. (Twig=Lief or "Leaf", Jasmine talks to birds=Birdie)
Do not try to win tomorrow or you will regret it!. Above the note was a skull. Jasmine had stabbed the intruder, and there were little drops of blood on the carpet.
