The Next Knight
morriswalters:
A couple of points. I think the timeline is going to compress going forward as Harry moves towards the BAT. So I wouldn't look for Maggie to pick up a sword.
Unless Jim is going to throw away canon, Nic would need to give up the coin for the sword. No coin and no anti aging magic, Nic gets old and decrepit fairly quickly.

Really? Oh that's interesting. Well I feel that Butcher would have to choose between Nic and Marcone as having them both redeemed is too similar in storylines. If he changed his mind on Marcone already, maybe we'll get a redeemed Nic instead?
I wonder how old Maggie will be by that point. I think Harry might try to keep her out of the conflicts, so that'll be interesting to read.
@Morriswalters: Yeah, that's pretty true too. Hm, so maybe Nic gets it one time and then decides to let time take its course?
Though with that in mind its more likely that neither of them take up a sword. I still like the idea of Team Dresden all having a turn with Amoraccius.

Is there WOJ of this speed-up? Mind you, I see some signs in the novels that you may be right, but I wondered if Jim Has Spoken, or anything... From my reading, it's a reasonable surmise, but hardly a sure thing, so other WAGs have plenty of merit still.

Well, Nic does have the Grail, which has lots of pop-culture "eternal life" cred. So maybe he doesn't need Spanx of the Fallen to prop up his dusty ass.
The other possibility, of course, is for Anduriel to repent; stay en-coined, aligned with Nic, and Nic gets a shiny sword TOO. I mean, a Fallen Angel repenting is pretty epic in an apocalyptic storyline...
morriswalters:
Yes, no, maybe? I'll see if I can run it down.

Not if he rejects noose and coin and accepts the chance of redemption and embraces the meaning of the Grail. If the Grail can give eternal life or at least preserve him, it could be a game changer for Nic. Because we know give up the coin etc and you go back to your real age and begin to age normally.. Since Nic is a couple of thousand years old, give or take he'd just turn to dust.. I don't think he is really to die yet no matter what happens to his soul.
I really think this is what is being set up, however we may not see it till the final book..
