The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Justin and Simon may be dead but they may also be
The_Sibelis:
Been looking at how the BC fed on the wizards in BG, basically just smothering them and eating their life force.. I wasn't sure about that considering how the Blamp in... BR(?) Simply tried to bite Harry. But it occurs to me. If they do feed directly on Life force... And the DH works specifically based on how many people die from it, then it's really just a big meal for them. Could even be what they showed up in BGs to do. Thinking Mavra or Drakul will take the upgrade at some point and they'll be the Boss of a book in the future (also there is still the possibility the DH will let them change their current nature..). With the now promised BC revenge book it's even more likely I think.. but idk if they'll become the main villains. I think multiple groups will compete concurrently for that, but the main enemies will be the walkers in the end.

Unless Justin intended for Harry to kill him or appear to do so.

Actually Harry in Ghost Story is a pretty reliable source, Dead seems to improve your memory.

Yeah I feel like all the bad guys, and good guys know something bad is brewing. So they are trying to build up their strength to face what's coming. I don't know where Drakul falls into this, but even he might be afraid of Empty Night. In the end I do think the Outside is the enemy but I don't know who it is who wants to bring them in.

Sure, but I'm just saying Justin starting a fight with Harry in order to fake his death would be something coming straight out of left field, unless we get more between now and then.

I didn't get that at all. I'll have to pay attention when I reread.

perhaps that's just the thing though, maybe the whole thing leads to a key event where the gates are gonna be open for a period of time?
By my reconing, hells bells signify the arrival of something, perhaps they are closest to the breach or maybe even have a back door of some sort. In early books Jim hadn't quite drawn the line between demon and outsider I noticed.
Stars and stones is clearly a starborn event.. spitballing a few ideas, something to do with starborn becoming immortal, the biblical interpretation of wormwood as a stone that hits earth, or just a general musical chairs between the outsiders and immortals/reality in general. Starborn are from some sort of light shining on earth at the point of birth yes? Gives them some sort of outsider ability.. perhaps a much brighter light will shine and totally negative the veils or consume them?
And empty night.. the vampiric origin means a night without mortals, without prey. You could easily take that a step bigger and say without reality. Though if we're talking more literal stars I wonder about the five that appeared in the sky when Harry took the WK mantle..
Although who would specifically want to open the gates? Why I think that answers been in front of our face all along... The one who has supreme power over them just as Harry does DR.. queen Mab."and the stars will fall from the sky before queen mab fulfills not her word." Talk about prophecy lol. Even the fact she has a specific counter to stop her seems to me to say she's destined to go ape $hit. Mab doesn't seem the type anymore to make a play to take everything the way they spell it out. She's pretty devoted to her duty and she shouldn't change that.. which means an outside force will have that effect on her. I wonder if this isn't why Mab advised Harry to kill Molly in the event of her death. Molly isn't set in stone yet. It's almost the same situation as the archive, a still mortal host holding an immortal mantle still has some choice.

yea.. idk I kinda expected more biting, something like a Uber zombie feeding. But that's not what it appeared to be like.
