So I think I'm putting this in the right place...?
A while ago I found something interesting and posted it on the Wingfeather Saga Ember Rising Forum. I thought it might be good to recycle some of that info on here: In the beginning of the first book, Heather has a “dream” about “Jupiter”. Further along in the series, we find out she has prophetic dreams. back to the beginning of the book, Heather tells Picket that she dreamed of Jupiter in victory. Picket points out that she always has good dreams. Heather comments that they’re always VIVID. so, could it be, that maybe she wasn’t dreaming of Jupiter, but of his son (Smalls) after he takes the throne and wins the battle against Morbin? Maybe she’s been having prophetic dreams of the future for a while. think about it, when she’s in the cave with smalls, she KNOWS what she’s going to see as soon as she rolls over. she has NO doubt that her dream was real. That Smalls is in that cave. So, this could mean that Smalls IS alive because she saw him win the battle. it could also mean that she’s been having prophetic dreams about Smalls reign for a while now. on the flip side, could it be she saw INTO THE PAST? that she DID see Jupiter while he was in reign? but it wasn’t just her imagination making it up, she actually SAW HIM. And in that case, if she can also see into the past, (which is not as likely as my first theory on her dream of Jupiter because seeing into the past AND future makes it more of a superpower, and less of just a prophetic thing. making the story more of a fairy tale type thing or Marvel thing.) then maybe she can see or has already seen, Flint and Fay, and Blackstar, etc.
Ohhh....
I wouldn’t say being able to see into the past would really change the classification of Heather’s gift. I mean, looking into the past or future both have to do with time. One is just viewing what’s already transpired, while the other is seeing what may yet be.
Wow! That's profoundly insightful, @Revona Hawk ! Thanks for sharing, It'd be interesting to see how much more we find out about Heather's dreampower in Ember IV!
Okay, wow! I never thought of that! I know this thing is just starting out, but I think you deserve an award for this theory! And yes, you put it in the right place. Who else thinks Audrey should get an award for that?
