Battle Ground foreshadowing
morriswalters:
I believe you. But we are still left with the text, Mab thinks Harry could do the deed. Either Butcher is jerking our chain or Harry could do the dirty and kill Molly even if she received the Mantle.

That is what you think. We know he can die 9 times.

Was Mab's order to Harry a foreshadowing? Will Harry have to kill Molly? Worse yet, if true, who will Molly kill before Harry can stop her? I can't really say there is any one thing that is the genesis of this thought, but it does follow the general theme that Butcher has always presented. How can I torture Harry?
Since I'm shipping Harry and Mab, in my minds eye I see Harry holding a dying Mab in his arms as the stars go black in the sky.

I like the imagery; both of sipping bourbon and the Harry holding a dying Mab as the stars wink out.
Very plausible, Butcher has telegraphed such things before. At any rate, we shall get more insight on why Mab gave such an order and what Molly's influence might be on Winter.
--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on January 23, 2022, 08:23:23 PM ---As previously stated, if reality breaks down all bets are off, Mab probably had no idea whether Ethnui could kill her, or not but if she could she considered that conditions were likely that Molly would be vulnerable as well. I doubt there was any precedent for what was going on in Battle Ground.
If Mab did die the Mantle would pass to Molly unless as with the Summer Knights Mantle, Harry turned Molly to Stone, the transmission is pretty automatic, and the Lady’s Mantle would go to the nearest Virgin Changeling or Wizard with any association with Winter, with the likely result they Carlos would become the Winter Laddy.

I seem to remember Bob stating that Halloween was only one such conjunction when Immortals can die, not the only one. Certain places in the NeverNever I believe he said.

I don't remember that ever being in the Dresden Files.
Just make sure we are discussing what is in the fictional universe of the Dresden Files, not our own universe.

A lot of beings are said to have nine lives, some people believe the white god is one such being which has been part of ehe series for a long time.
At least Molly believes she is immortal. In battle ground she told Harry she could go through a wood chipper and she would get better.
It was not the breaking down of reality, it was being hit by the eye itself. If she had waited by Odin, the Earl King and Titania's bodies, put them in a pile and blasted them when it was ready then they would have been dead. Or if she had managed to hit Mab a second time

The Mister Microfiction disproved that Mister is the White God.
