(view spoiler)[I've found a plot-hole or I am missing something. Plan seems to me was to use Damien as vessel, probably since he was a kid taken to the temple. But how did Gilead know he would be there for the eclipse? Form the prophecy, I guess, and later he bet on Delphine. But how did he know where to look for him, after Damien was saved by Amma and Xander? I might have to read p.3 a third time :D All the love, wonderful series. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hello! It seems I missed this question somehow, I'm so sorry!
So, I think of it like this: when Damien is brought before GOoD during Yvlcon, they get deep into his mind, and Gilead is able to see Damien's desires, including the fact he intends to go to the capital and that he's been thinking about his mother and wanting to find her. When the Delphine plan falls through, Gilead intended to use Diana to get to Damien instead, and it was mostly a "happy accident" Damien was already there, but Gilead assumed Damien would eventually seek her out. When the translocation stone for Diana's temple city went missing from Yvlcon's storeroom right after Damien and Xander's fight, that was further indication to Gilead that Damien had direct access to his mother and would eventually use it. Does that make sense? Gilead was just very powerful and always working behind the scenes pulling strings :) Thank you so much for reading! (hide spoiler)]

I loved this series to death and I'm so impressed by every single detail coming into play eventually, except for this one: Anomalous made a potion thing that can literally kill you for a couple hours and then you come back, but Damien and Amma didn't even consider using it. Was this intentional because they just absolutely did not want to be separated from each other or was this just a forgotten detail?
