Twilight

Twilight has many powers at her disposal, including the ability to telepathically communicate with others outside her prison. We see this numerous times with her talks with Daniel.

She has also talked with Flarah, talking snidely to the arrogant kitsune.

So, then, has Twilight ever taken the time to talk to Daemon, taunting him about his fruitless quest and reminding him of his sad, tragic past and other such things?

Aeon has the power to stop and reverse time, but how would this ability fare against the Dark Queen of Magic?

Twilight's knowledge of magic is, perhaps, the most extensive of any living soul in Eden. If Aeon were to use her magic on the Reaper, would it have any affect?

I have a few questions:

1. Does Aeon know the locations of Twilight's key fragments?

2. Does Aeon know how and what needs to happen in order to acquire them?

3. Hypothetically speaking, if there was someone in Daemon's group that could somehow control Aeon in some way, could that person force Aeon to cooperate in assisting Daemon?

We all know Daniel's sexy spectical in S.2 - Act III was watched by many, including Twilight, Charlotte, and Apoch & Astreal. However, I think it can be safe to say that these same people will be watching when Daniel (assumably) unsheathes Ragnarok to fight Arixis and Kryelle. That is, assuming he does that.

What do you think their reactions will be?

Mind you, Twilight, and Apoch & Astreal KNOW what Ragnarok is AND who it once belonged to.

Will this affect how they treat Daniel in the future?

*I'm not sure if I originally thought of this or if I read it somewhere else, but I felt like talking about it.*

The Dark Queens are among the most dangerous, evil creatures in existence. This leads one to wonder WHY these beings were created.

One possible explanation that I've thought about for a long time is that they, like all beings, did not start out as evil but BECAME evil through either certain events, corruption of power, or some other personal reason.

I've had confirmation from Mr. Gordon that the Dark Queens were, in fact, created, not born. This explains why they are the only members of their monster race.

But here's another idea: what if the Dark Queens were created solely to be deterrents?

Deterrents to what, you may ask. Well, all four Queens were sealed away into ancient, underground cities, and all these cities were chosen to house the four keys to the Well. . . .

What if the Dark Queens were merely created to discourage people from trying to steal the power of the Well? Think about it. In order to get to the keys, one would have to destroy the giant, protective barriers, which would set the Dark Queens free, and thus result in untold horror and devastation.

If so, I think whoever planned this was reckless and neglectful.

Plus, if this is true . . . then the Dark Queens' existence was merely meant to be used and not lived. Just a tool, a weapon of mass destruction that nobody could ever love. . . .

Jovian & Jacqueline the Gemini were once thought immortal, able to survive absolutely anything and everything from absolutely everyone and anything.

That is, until they drove Daniel Sorres to the point of summoning Ragnarok.

But riddle me this: could Twilight the Reaper have killed the Gemini? Would Twilight have gained any immense power from the sisters, or would they have ripped her apart from the inside as her tails tried to digest them?

Daemon has shown to have the ability to sense Twilight's key fragments. However, as mentioned in the story AND by Mr. Gordon, due to the Reaper's semblance in magic, her key fragments are extremely difficult to track.

However, here's a question:

When Daemon tries to track the fragments, can he track where the keys USED to be? For example, if the key was once in Green Haven or Ruhelia (or rather whatever's left of them), would Daemon be able to sense their past presence? What's more, if a key were traveling across Eden, would it leave a magical trail for Daemon to follow?

Shadows are born from light. The stronger the light, the darker the shadow.

And, as it turns out, shadows may, in fact, be a form of creature in Chronicles of Eden.

From what Mr. Gordon hinted at, the Dark Queens, the greatest of all evils in Eden, were "born from shadows." Or, to be more specific, from the shadows of their former selves — created not by birth, but transformation.

Nuci's mother, Veronica, was, as far as I can tell, a loving, caring person from the way Nuci acted in S.1 - Act XI. And yet, somehow, sweet Veronica turned into Aeon: arrogant, vicious, and self-centered.

So it begs the question: how and why?

What, or who, created these shadows? Who or what are responsible for the four most dangerous beings to ever exist in the world of Eden? And are they still alive?

The Reaper is cruel, cunning, merciless, and all-powerful when it comes to magic.

But even Dark Queens have fear.

What do you think is Twilight's greatest fear? With all her power, all her knowledge, and the fact that she is dangerous enough to be labeled with the title "Dark Queen," is there any magic or anything that could possibly make Twilight feel alarmed?

Mind you, this Dark Queen is meant to be viewed as a "Final Boss," so you know that whatever causes her discomfort is nothing slight.

Just for some fun, if you could describe each of the Dark Queens using only 3 words, what would they be?

Jovian & Jacqueline - Arrogant. Murderous. Reckless.

Aeon - Calculating. Wicked. Childish.

Seraph - ??? ??? ??? (Haven't seen her yet)

Twilight - Deceitful. Merciless. Gluttonous.

As I've said in a previous discussion, the Dark Queens will most likely create their own worst enemies. (At least I believe I once said that).

Jovian's & Jacqueline's choice to form the Sisterhood was done purely out of getting revenge on Daniel and destroying his dream of peace. After his escape from them, there was nothing stopping the Gemini from just going off and resuming their horrible, murderous existence. Nothing but their hurt pride and selfish arrogance.

Ironically enough, this choice to form the Sisterhood set into motion the events that led them to their deaths. How ironic, the very man they sought to destroy was the one who pushed the sword back their way. In other words, Jovian & Jacqueline did this to themselves.

Can we expect Aeon, Seraph, and Twilight to do the same?

Aeon, in her smug arrogance and cruelty, may find that her actions end up coming back to bite her. Remember: though omniscient, Aeon can only see so far ahead with only so much approximation. The future is always changing after all. If that's the case, who do you think will become her worst enemy? Who could possibly pose such a threat that they could fight and even deliver the killing blow to the all-knowing Dark Queen of Time?

Seraph, once she returns, will most likely make her own worst enemy (or enemies) when she chooses to mess with Daniel's, Daemon's, and Max's girls. Given her mind-control, she may end up underestimating how far her enemies will go to make her pay.

As for Twilight . . . to be honest, I'm stumped here. Given how crafty and intelligent Twilight is, do you think she could be foolish enough to create her own worst enemy?

Your thoughts?

I remember in my reading that Snapper even though is baby saw Twilight true side. Will she be more afraid of Twilight now or she will forget about what she saw? That what puzzling me for long while. Snapper saw the true Twilight personality but since she is a baby. I wonder if she will forget about what she saw.

Is there any kind of magic Twilight doesn't care for?

I know she's the Dark Queen of Magic, but is there any magic she CAN'T devour, or, more specifically, any magic she CAN'T use?

Yes, I actually asked it. Why are the Dark Queens evil, and I don't mean this as "there's a dark, shadowy secret to their past" or "it's their roles as the villains."

I'm talking about their mindsets.

Jovian & Jacqueline, Aeon, Seraph, and Twilight are among the most evil villains I've EVER read about in a story. They are, by far, more powerful and more dangerous than Lord Voldemort. Their cruelty is both terrifying and unbelievable. The idea that ANYONE could be that cold-hearted and not capable of showing any remorse is, perhaps, what makes them so terrifying to read about.

That's when I started thinking about their mindsets and how it makes them the kind of creature that is well-deserving of the word "monster."

The Dark Queens are all manipulators. They are power-hungry, cynical, arrogant, single-minded, and uncaring. They possess in their hands superhuman abilities that nobody else has: powers that, quite literally, make them overpowered. I mean, immortality? Omniscience? Limitless magic? Total mind control? I mean, damn!

But it's in this that something clicked with me. The Dark Queens have incredible powers, and they're irresponsible and uncaring about how it affects others.

In their minds, the world circles around them. They see themselves as gods and everyone else as insects that they don't mind crushing if they have half a mind to.

In their minds, "I'm more powerful than you. You can't do anything to stop me, so why should I care or feel bad if I hurt or kill you?"

That's the mindset of the Dark Queens, and also what makes them a Dark Queen: not their power, but the abuse of that power coupled with despicable arrogance.

The Gemini went about killing and torturing because they thought they were truly invulnerable. "Nobody can stop us, so what's there to fear?" In the end, though, they felt pain, and it was horrifying for them to bear. Without their power and that cocky arrogance, they were just two little brats with sickening personalities.

Your thoughts?

Call it a silly question if you wish, but has anyone ever wondered how the Dark Queens were born?

I mean, they're the ONLY ones of their races. As far as my knowledge about the series goes, there has only ever been one Gemini, one Chronofly, one Tyrant, and one Reaper throughout all of Eden's history.

How could they have been sired if there was no woman of their race to grow them?

Were they created in a lab? Were they the result of an experiment?

And how is it they don't age? The Gemini we can understand since immortality was their ultimate power, but the rest of the Dark Queens are either still alive and not growing any older, or are dead and planning to be brought back to life.

One last thing to consider: if it's true that NO ONE is born evil and cruel, then what or WHO could've made the Dark Queens the villains they are?

It's been stated in S.2 - Act I that Aeon the Chronofly has a very deep hatred for Twilight the Reaper. Now, seeing as both Dark Queens wish to conquer Eden and shape it to their dark whims, it's understandable that they'd view themselves as rivals. But Aeon seems to have a personal reason for her bitterness towards Twilight.

Anyone have any ideas why? Could it be out of jealousy, in that Aeon thinks Twilight is more powerful than her?

Also, for the sake of humor, do you think Twilight will speak from "Beyond" and heckle Aeon, giving her grief? Given Flarah's conversations, it wouldn't surprise me if Twilight finds out about Aeon, if she hasn't already.

Just out of fun curiosity, here's something to think about.

There are four Dark Queens and four suits in a game of cards. Which Dark Queen would you assign to the four playing suits?

I just thought of something.

Seeing as Twilight wishes to devour Daniel for his power, how would she feel if/when she finds out that Ragnarok is attached to his soul?

Will Twilight be afraid, knowing Daniel possess a weapon strong enough to kill a Dark Queen and destroy their monster energy?

Or will she be even more eager to eat Daniel and absorb the sword's power in addition to his own?

I just realized something strange....

In Acts III and IV of Season 1, it was mentioned that Jovian & Jacqueline had their own page in Daniel's old monster book. They even tore out the page and swallowed it.

What's interesting is that Daniel wrote this book out by hand, meaning he had to have gotten the information from somewhere and transferred it to his own book.

Now think about that: doesn't that sound odd?

The Gemini and the other Dark Queens were sealed away, never to be freed or heard from again. They were meant to be forgotten, left to rot with the past and all its secrets. This would suggest that all information regarding the Dark Queens would have been hushed up. Any books or written documents detailing them or their existence would've been destroyed or removed from Eden's libraries.

So how did Daniel manage to find information on the Gemini? Could it be that he also found books detailing the Chronofly, the Tyrant, and the Reaper as well?

It's often said that tyrants and villains create their own worst enemies: people they oppress who one day rise up and slap the cold, hard hand of reality into their ugly faces.

Only one season in and "Chronicles of Eden" has already demonstrated such a scenario.

Jovian & Jacqueline formed the Sisterhood purely to discredit Daniel and to kill both him and his dream of peace, all because he and his girls were the only ones to ever escape the Gemini and live to talk about it. There was nothing stopping the sisters from just moving on with their murderous lives except their arrogance and bloodlust. As a consequence, they sealed their fates by setting into motion the events that led Daniel to become the one who slayed them.

In the end, the Gemini were no longer cocky braggarts who horrifically abused their strength and immortality. They were angry, savage monsters who died in pain and disbelief. And Daniel, the person Jovian & Jacqueline viewed as the weakest and most pathetic person alive, was the one who did them in.

What about the other Dark Queens? Will Twilight's plan of making Daniel more powerful blow up in her face when she tries to devour him? Will Seraph find out that, of the many humans she oppresses, there's one or more who can actually stand up against her? Will Aeon come to see that escaping her City of Eden was the beginning of her imminent death?

I know Daniel won't be the one solely responsible for the deaths or defeats of the other Dark Queens. That job will probably fall to Daemon, Mika, Max and/or several others as a collective whole. But in the end, regardless of how many enemies they make, will the Dark Queens be the ones who seal their own fates?

Jovian & Jacqueline underestimated Daniel and that led them to their doom.

Aeon expects everything to go as she plans, thinking she can see all possibilities and make sure she comes out on top. Yet there are Ancients and others who are beyond her ability to understand or influence.

Seraph, for all her power, cannot control humans — creatures viewed as weak and pathetic.

And Twilight . . . is there really anything stopping her from being the supposedly kind and friendly person Daniel and his family view her as? She has the potential to be good; she just chooses not to be.

What do you all think? Do you think the Dark Queens are leading themselves to their demise?
