Hadn't thought of it in Thomas/Justine terms, but that just smacks too much of Jim repeating himself, vamp/mortal love match.. Oh and I guess we'd have to include Margaret/Lord Raith in that as well even though I doubt that that was exactly a love match.. Now more than ever I hope the marriage doesn't come off.

Agreed also Im tired of the "vampire with a soul and redemption arch" that has become a major thing since Buffy. Lara is a monster and she knows it long with Harry when she told him that the humans will thank her for becoming livestock

Well we knew his specialty was time magic, so him being the talking head in MM to explain things makes sense.
What baffles me is just how easily Drakul opened a Way to an alternate timeline. Like, he just flicked a wrist. I didn't expect him to have THAT kind of power. Opening a Way between two specific places in one reality took a retired god.
And Drakul was like, bye.
Unless he just tossed Chandler into the great big empty, and Chandler's own time magic resulted in his own Way taking him elsewhen.

I guess it is possible Chandler created an illusion and it only appeared like Drakul sent him on his way, but not really. Chandler chickened out and fled the battle.. On the other hand I don't remember it being said that Chandler's specialty was time magic, at least in the books, but there is
a lot of details to forget over the years. Only question I have about that if time travel is forbidden, why is he allowed to study time magic? However if it is true it answers Chandler's warning wink and nod to Harry in Peace Talks, he already knew how it was going to turn out.

Can we get a reference for this? It's spoken of frequently, but I don't remember where we learn this. Or is it just a WoJ?
Thanks---B
Oh. And I still think Chandler's a bad guy.

I believe it's a WoJ after Serack compiled the big list of old WoJ's. Chandler is a time specialist that has to be very careful about skirting the Laws in how he practices. Part of him being allowed to do things like guard doors alone is how much he is trusted by the WC.

Meh, I mean Drakul is Mab level. Opening the portal to the void between realities seems fine to me power-wise, then Chandler using his own magic to get to somewhere somewhat familiar.
