New Wag
morriswalters:
@g33k
Yeah, I can never remember her name.
I have only my imagination. Although I'm pretty sure it wasn't to bring her in for a fair trial. More like if there is no body there needn't be a trial. I'm open to suggestions.
There are many WAG's available, I've chosen this one.
--- Quote ---Hmmm. This is an interesting point! But actually: she chose Malcom over either of them.
Still, she clearly also laid plans for when/if Malcom was out of the picture. Lea certainly knew where Harry was. Morgan didn't know (per the Journal microfiction). We actually have no info as to whether Eb knew, or not... no in-universe canon, no WoJ (that I know of). I'm a bit dubious as to whether she had the whole bit with the orphanage pre-arranged... it seems improbable, honestly!

If she chose Malcolm she chose poorly. Her choice of Morgan was only marginally better. Also, any ideas of who the we is in the Morgan microfiction.
--- Quote ---From then on, we could not be sure that the child was not molded to be a creature of Nemesis.

However in terms of motivation I'm undercutting Mira's statement that Eb soul gazed Malcolm, while emphasizing my WAG. Typical of debate on the internet.

She chose Malcolm to raise him. She chose Lea to see to his spiritual direction and protect him. She chose Morgan to protect him. Beyond that, we really don't know, and the first sentence is a guess.
I'm not sure how much or how little Malcolm knew about anything supernatural.
Mira:
--- Quote ---As to why Malcom chose to keep hiding, and didn't tell Harry about Eb -- I might suspect that Margaret's death appeared to him more as "wizard" action than Whamp. So Malcom was suspicious about the White Council, and didn't want to expose his son. Six years old is just too young to begin explaining how your grandpa may have murdered your mommy... or just didn't keep the secret well enough and his friends murdered your mommy...
--- End quote ---
Ever try to explain anything to a six year old? Especially supernatural politics. It also follows if Malcolm was just an ordinary good man as Eb described him, he'd have known two things once Margaret was murdered, 1] he was in way over his head, had been from the moment he agreed to father a star child, if he even understood what that was exactly. 2] Someone wanted his son very badly and the best way to keep him safe is to stay on the road and trust no one... He was wrong about the last.

It depends on what you value and what qualities you think are needed. What is most often said about Malcolm? A good soul, a man with a good heart.. What is often said about Harry and quite often carries him through and makes him so valued by his friends? His good heart, which he is repeatedly told he inherited from his father.

No, but then Morgan and whoever didn't know Malcolm, nor know his soul.. Harry is his son, inheriting both his good heart and more than likely his stubborn will.. Nemesis would never be successful in molding a child like that.. This Margaret knew, that is why with Malcolm she conceived a star child.

Who was the we?
Bad Alias:
I think the we from the mircofiction may have been him and Luccio.
