Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who does Mrs Greenwood say Kerrigor looks like?

Answer: Touchstone

"'Why,' said Mrs Greenwood, with a startled glance back up at Touchstone. 'He looks just like you!'"
2. What did Touchstone break?

Answer: His leg

"'My leg is broken,' Touchstone said, his mouth showing the pain of it."
3. What does Sabriel say is almost at the gates?

Answer: The fog

"'The fog... the fog is almost at the gates,' she said, too quickly to be calm."
4. What are the soldiers spears and shields streaked with?

Answer: Silver and Charter Marks

"There were more soldiers in the corridor, but these were mailed and helmed, with large shields and broad-headed spears streaked with silver and the simplest Charter marks, drawn in chalk and spit."
5. What type of ring did Sabriel tell the Charter Mages to form around the sarcophagus?

Answer: Handfast

"'We must make a handfast ring around the sarcophagus.'"
6. How is Touchstone related to Kerrigor?

Answer: They're half-brothers

"'With the Queen I suppose. She had four children. Her oldest son, Rogir, was a childhood playmate of mine.' (Touchstone says this)

'He's the thing called Kerrigor, the one Abhorsens have been fighting for generations, trying to keep in Death. He is the one who came back, the Greater Dead who murdered the patrol near Cloven Crest, the master of the Mordicant.'
'I do not know,' replied Mogget. 'Your father thought so.'
'It is him,' Touchstone said, distantly. 'Kerrigor was Rogir's childhood nickname. I made it up, on the day we had the mud fight. His full ceremonial name was Rogirek.'

'You didn't tell me you were a Prince,' Sabriel said, in a conversational tone.

'I'm not,' Touchstone replied, shrugging. He looked up at the sky while he spoke. 'The Queen was my mother, but my father was an obscure nothern noble, who 'took up with her' a few years after her consort's death.'

'No sword can harm me,' Kerrigor said, with a giggle like a dying man's cough. 'Not even one made by the Wallmakers. Especially not now, when I have finally assumed the last of their powers. Power that ruled before the Charter, power that made the Wall. I have it now. I have that broken puppet, my half-brother- and I have you, my Abhorsen. Power and blood- blood for the breaking!'"
7. What colour were the cats?

Answer: Black and White

'Two small cats stood side by side. One black, one white.'
8. Who does Kerrigor say is crawling towards him and Sabriel?

Answer: Sabriel's lover

"'What would you have, Abhorsen?' continued Kerrigor, his mouth peeling back, skin already breaking at the corners, the spirit within corroding even this magically-preserved flesh. 'Your lover crawls towards us- a pathetic sight- but I shall have the next kiss...'"
9. Who does Sabriel think she feels dying before she realises she is?

Answer: Touchstone

"The splinter came down with a strangled shriek of rage. Sabriel closed her eyes and looked away, slipping into a world of her own, a world of pain. She knew she should do something about the blood pouring out of her stomach, but now- with Touchstone dead- she just lay where she was and let it bleed.
Then Sabriel realised she hadn't felt Touchstone die."
10. Was Kerrigor destroyed?

Answer: He became a cat but will always remain asleep

"The mound of darkness that had been Kerrigor split into two distinct hemispheres, bounded by an equatorial ring of silver. One hemisphere was as black as coal; the other a gleaming white. Gradually, they melted into two distinct forms- two cats, joined at the throat like Siamese twins.

Then the silver ring split in two, a ring around each neck, and the cats separated. The rings lost their brilliance, slowly changing colour and texture till they were red leather bands, each supporting a miniature bell, a miniature Ranna. Two small cats sat side by side. One black, one white. Both leaned forward, throats moving, and each spat up a silver ring.

The cats yawned as the rings rolled towards Sabriel, then curled up and went to sleep."
