Nguyet. Tuyet and Nguyet are twins. Tuyet is a boy, Nguyet is a girl. Nguyet burns herself out trying to stop the Lone Power.
Fun Note: Twin wizards are called twychilds.

Fun Note: Hesper was fashioned by the Powers to be the exact opposite of the Lone One. She was developed right under the Lone One's nose.
for chocolate. This is one of the best theories ever devised (in my opinion). Carmela says that cocoa is mostly only on our planet, and it sells very expensive.

Roshaun, Filif and Sker'ret. Roshaun is a prince - he's a humanoid. Filif is a Demisiv - he looks like a Christmas tree. Sker'ret is a Rirhait - he looks like a giant purple centipede.

'Her!' Ronan sounded outraged, as if this was one shock too many."

Book of the Night with Moon. The Book of the Night with Moon is one power the Lone One can't dominate.

Themselves become the Powers.
Beware the Choice! Beware refusing it!"
