Battle Ground !!!SPOILERS!!!

(1/15) > >>

Yuillegan:
Potential spoilers follow here.

I was thinking the other day about the blurb of Battle Ground and a few things occured to me.

I feel that the end of Peace Talks will involve Harry thinking he has sorted out his issues, a victory of sorts if you like. He will have saved Thomas, himself, everyone and maybe exposed the bad guys openly. And they will be MEGA pissed off. Which causes them to try the less subtle way i.e. wiping out Harry and Chicago or whatever. And Harry will realize his massive miscalculation and realize there is an impending army coming to destroy everyone he loves. That will be the cliff hanger - a Titan and her army bearing down on his city and everything he holds dear.

But why is it that Harry specifically has to kill this Titan. Why him? If this thing is so ridiculously powerful where are the other guardians, where is the White Council, where is...Mab?

Because if (and this isn't yet known) the Last Titan and the Fomor Empress are one and the same (likely), why isn't Mab or Titania or both fighting this being?

Why isn't Ebenezar and the Merlin and LtW etc not responsible for killing this being?

The only logical conclusion is they are not available. Perhaps Winter and Summer alike are besieged. Perhaps Titania elects not to help (in her every more mysterious way). Perhaps the Gates come under major assault. Perhaps Mab is crippled somehow.

Maybe the White Council tries to help but is scattered to the wind. Maybe it's a divide and conquer thing.

Thoughts?

vultur:
Harry's goal might not be just to kill the Titan but to prevent the battle from destroying Chicago. If Mab and the Senior Council throw down with another being on roughly Mab's level, there's going to be a lot of collateral damage.

Eb's force blasts were messing up stone buildings weighing thousands of tons in Chichen Itza, IIRC. Modern buildings are way more fragile. And Eb is just one member of the Senior Council. Mab messes up the weather just by being on the mortal world... if she actually were throwing lots of power around...

An outright fight with Mab-level beings on both sides IMO could easily destroy the entire city.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Because Harry has the tools to kill or wound a Titan following Skin Game. If you note the book cover,  that isn’t a knob that his wizards staff has on the end, and on Demonreach he has the capacity to “take below” the most powerful of entities as well.

Harry is being set up by Uriel, Mab and Vadderung to deal with the Nemesis agents behind the lines where their natures constrain them from dealing with them. The White Council as currently constituted are near useless for this, the Grey Council are not, expect them to come to the fore.

Expect Harry (gods help us) to be the surgical strike, making lots of Clash of the Titans references, as the Apocalypse is not yet here.

You took the words right off my fingers.  Harry goes because he is the only one who can.

Conspiracy Theorist:
I really hope we get to see Harry use Demonreach to imprison for the first time.

He can get the blood of a Titan using the spear and use the summoning circle at Demonreach and the blood to bring it to Demonreach and take them below. I doubt anyone else other than a another major entity could injure a Titan or constrain them. Harry is the only mortal who can do both.
