Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What are the first Immortals that Daine and Onua encounter?

Answer: Stormwings

Daine and Onua are attacked by Stormwings very early in their journey. Daine catches their queen, Zhaneh Bitterclaws, with an arrow through the eye and makes an enemy. They are attacked by spidrens later along the trail. The Griffins come to them at Pirate's Swoop, and the darkings don't make an appearance until "In The Realms of the Gods", the fourth book of the quartet.

2. What central character from one of Tamora Pierce's other series has an important role in this book?

Answer: Alanna ("Song of the Lioness")

Alanna becomes Daine's friend and ally in her struggle against the Immortals and the Carthaki agents. Aly (Alianne) actually is mentioned briefly when Daine is informed that "the twins are only four and still have to stay in the nursery," but is hardly a central character. Sandrilene (Sandry) comes from an entirely different world than that of Carthak and the Copper Isles and Keladry (Kel)'s quartet happens a few years after "The Immortals".

3. When Numair becomes Daine's instructor, he gives her an extraordinary gift. What is it?

Answer: An animal anatomy book

Daine is awed by the book and is at first afraid to accept it. She takes it when Numair tells her how she could help animals more if she understood the way their bodies were put together.

4. Who rescues Daine when she loses herself running with the herd?

Answer: Cloud

Thanks to their special bond, Cloud breaks into the stable and knocks Daine over, rousing her from her trance.

5. How does Daine harm herself trying to talk to dolphins for the first time?

Answer: She stops her own heart

Daine tries to force back the sound of her heart beating so she can concentrate harder, and in the process stops her own heart. Alanna saves her with a jolt of magical fire, but Numair is furious with her. Alanna tells Daine about how change in temperature and salt water both serve to amplify magic-something Daine finds very useful later in the book!

6. What creatures inform Daine that Pirate's Swoop has been surrounded?

Answer: Bats

The bats come to Daine in the night and inform her of unfamiliar humans. Daine collects numbers from them and realizes that they have been placed under siege in the night. There is a very amusing scene with the bats swarming Daine.

7. Who is the only person who could use their magic with the dampening spells in place over the Swoop?

Answer: Daine

The mages didn't take wild magic into account with their dampening spells; as we learn later in the quartet, many "educated" mages think wild magic is myth. Numair is eventually able to lift the dampening spells, but it drains him very badly to do so.

8. What immortal(s) died helping Daine fight the Carthaki?

Answer: The dragon

After Daine's magic brought the dragon's baby back to life the dragon felt deeply indebted to her. The dragon sacrificed herself, taking two of the Carthaki barges with her. Her last thought was an image sent to Daine of the place where her baby Skysong was so Daine could save Skysong and raise her.

9. Who gave Daine the burst of strength that she used to kill Zhaneh Bitterclaws?

Answer: Cloud

Cloud and Daine's special bond allowed Cloud to assist Daine for the second time. The pony was very smug when she told Daine that she had kept the ability to share strength a secret, because the People didn't have to tell Daine EVERYTHING.

10. Daine got three offers of places to stay over the summer. Which one of these was not one of them?

Answer: Onua, to live with the Riders

Daine decided she could not return to live with the Riders, but she was given offers of a home from everyone else. She commented that she had gone from having no home to having too many.
