I've not heard anything from Jamie in some time. I did send him an email earlier this month when I received some spam. I had advised him it appeared someone had hacked into his email and changing his password should do the trick.

Turning around, I walked across the Hall of Heroes until I faced Charles, who stood and watched me without comment. The beautiful, white orb in his hands looked like a giant, glowing pearl, and its hum was soft and steady. I’d placed it with Charlie, hoping that the security measures I'd put in place to protect him would keep this last orb safe as well.

This is one of the mysteries that we may not be privy to between Castor and Jamie.. At this point we don't know where the orbs were. Were they stored at Gold Glass, with the Princes, or elsewhere?

Actually, it was Cody who wrote the ceremony for the absorption of the Orbs. We learn that fact when Jamie is meeting with Cody and Prince Ivan before everyone leaves.

We may not know how Jamie came to be in possession of the orb, tho I suspect Renaud was instrumental in getting it. Jamie was the one to place it in the cryo unit with Charlie.

Jamie didn't complete his puberty cycle until the end of things.

Jamie did complete his puberty cycle. It occurred on his birthday. The screen was set to enter it final stage at that point. Jamie was also having headaches prior to that. It was the night of his first command performance for the Emperor, upon showering when he returned to the dorms, that he noticed the black smudge that he thought was makeup.

It was the Ghourm DNA that gave the their wings, not the the bird DNA everyone believed.

Though it was brief, I think the small part with Matthew and Lancelot was meant to give us a location to identify them from. The Princes and Scribes were also present at the Ball.

Remember, Jamie set things in place to help him remember things. Damian died for the bracelet. Renaud knew where Charlie was and probably had orders to remind Jamie if certain things hadn't occurred. It's possible, the same thing was set up with Giovanni. Fortunately, it was the Golden Orb that finally let Jamie remember where the Orb of the Unicorn is located, also leading him to Charlie.

The Orb of the Unicorn is under the Protection of the Imperial House of the Metaphysical Arts (also known as The House of the Oracle). His Imperial Highness Prince Jonathan of Tower Mount rules the Oracles House and his scribe is Lord Langford, Duke of Angel's Fall.

The seat of the Prince wasn't filled until the meeting held after the rescue of Jonathon.

The comet was something that wasn't accounted for so it threw the proverbial wrench into the works. The satellite did the best it could to repair the damage given there was no human help in doing so.

I'm guessing the key to the orbs recognizing an Imperial High Seraphim is DNA. If I remember correctly, Loran has a touch of de Valen DNA. Charlie is two years younger than Jamie. I'm thinking that Charlie was put into stasis after his cycle began so he's not completed it yet. If he had, the Orb of the Unicorn may have been reacting to his presence and there was no mention that it was.

The screen and the tattoo didn't appear until after Jamie completed his puberty cycle and reached adulthood.

Okay. Time for some "what if's."

We know that Jamie knows about the Tower of Agramon. He's also shared that information with Charlie. It's quite possible that Croal knew about and provided Jamie with the means to figure it out.

What if Alexander hadn't been killed in the Battlecom 'accident'? It could be that it would have taken all three, Loran, Jamie, and Charlie to take care of what ever is going to happen with the tower.

Everything is just taking us to that point.

It was the result of Alexanders death that elevated Jamie to the Wizard candidacy, thus by default, Nic to King as his mate. And according to Hippolito, Loran was to have been neutralized.

In a sense, Charlie is a backup if something should happen to Jamie. Jamie has told Charlie as much.

Just going through the story from the beginning again. In book 2 Part 2 When Giovani wants to go along to get Charlie. Jamie implies that he, Giovani, is the King to be. And it is further supported by him calling Jamie "my regent". That would make Charlie the true wizard. That would make Giovani, the king, Charlie the Wizard and Johnathan the oracle.

A child shall lead them. Or in this case, children shall lead them through the infancy of a society.

So what then of Nic and Jamie? Jamie must die as must Lorran for the orbs to be released. Well, only one must die if by the hand of the other. But there is still the matter of re-assimilation.

In Book 1, Part 4, chapter 49, Giovanni recalls Jamie, 'Regent'. He also tells him not call him that, it's something only they know about.

I too am rereading the story this month. I'm currently just starting part 4..

As far as Jamie and Nic are concerned, something important to remember is who is telling us the story. It is Jamie telling us his story of his triumphs and failures.

Perhaps, I'll have more once I get into Book 2.
