Swopes came to Charley with the results of all of his research. Who do you think will be part of her army? Warrior, scholar, prophet, gatekeeper, warden? Where do you think the current characters fit in?

Do you think Garrett stabbing Reyes was Rockets foreseen death, or do you think something else is going to happen to Reyes?


Meigan I have a few ideas for the army. I think obviously Nicolette will be the prophet, but I can't narrow the others down. The gatekeeper is a tricky one!

As far as the stabbing, I would hope that was it. But Darynda has a way of pulling the rug out from under us, so I really don't think that was it. It seems too easy.


Meigan Oh, and maybe Swopes can be the scholar. He figured out so much in such a short amount of time.


Kyra | 78 comments I think Swopes is the warrior. Maybe Rocket is the gatekeeper since he can tell who is dying.

Did Garrett leave that knife with Charley or did he take it? I hope he left it.

I think he left it with Charley. I agree that Nicholette would be the prophet. :)

I was thinking that Reyes is most likely the warrior...he did spend all that time as the general in Satan's army after all.

Garrett is the scholar since he's doing so much research.

Nicolette is the prophet. Gatekeeper...have no idea...maybe someone we haven't met yet. Warden...could we go literal and it's Neal since he's the warden in the prison?

I'm really hoping that Garrett stabbing Reyes was the foreseen death that Rocket saw, but something tells me it wasn't.

I was thinking Reyes was the warrior too, and either Garrett OR the professor who was helping him is the scholar. :)

What about Quenton????? And the nun?


Marianne I am thinking that Reyes could be the warrior, but perhaps also the gatekeeper? After all, he controls the gates to Hell, or at least his tattoos do. Charley herself is also some kind of gate (portal) and I just have this nagging suspicion that her "real" family will turn up one day to try to dissuade Charley from continuing her relationship with Reyes. ( I mean, Reyes and Charley will both have awfully troublesome in-laws.) Perhaps that person is also the gatekeeper? (Charley's guardian, so to speak...)

UnfortunAtely I don't think Rocket's premonition regarding Reyes has played out yet. Reyes is so insistent that Charley will end him at some point, so I am dreading some sort of awful event where Charley will play an unwilling part...

I was thinking the same thing about Garrett and the knife Traci! I wish we could ask Darynda! hehe

Ines (slayraa) | 684 comments I almost missed this discussion and it was one I really wanted to have with you ladies, uff!

I think Reyes is the warrior, I didn't think much about the scholar but I agree Garrett sounds like the right one for the job. I also agree with the prophet, but I think Mr. Wong is the warden. I still think he is somehow supervising the ghosts that don't cross over. I'm a bit more torn over the gatekeeper because I think both Quentin (whose powers are increasing) and the nun who listen to angels will also play a role helping Charley. Rocket is a good idea, but I'm not sure he is a keeper, he seems more like an observant.

I don't think that "almost killed Reyes" moment is what Rocket announced. Reyes wanted Charley to have the knife so she can kill him when the time comes, and so he'll be dead in a few weeks and Charley will be the one who will kill him. I wonder if that means Reyes will be back to Hell or just float in another dimension to help Charley from there. I'd say their powers are restrained while they are in their human forms and Reyes would be extremely powerful once "freed" (like when he wanted to die and leave his human body).


Annii Reyes is the warrior!
I hoped that the scene where Garret stabbed Reyes was the moment that rocket said but i doubt it very much lol..
