So What Happened to the Athame?

<< < (3/6) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
The Fae don’t share so no nothing was offered to Maeve by Lea.

Remember though that Nameless was fully part of Winter at this time, and I posit him to be Cowl. Mab was always distrustful of Nameless and she undoubtedly warned Lea and Maeve, which is why the Athame had to go via a circuitous route to Lea.

Maeve on the other hand upon getting the warning would have immediately sought out Nameless and attached him to her Court, most likely leading to the Redcap also joining. In GP Maeve in her first meeting with Harry mentions that “he” had told her Harry was completely intractable, when challenged about who “he” was Maeve dismissed the matter. I think “he” was Nameless/Cowl.

There may therefore have been more than one infection vector, Cowl/Nameless couldn’t get to Lea but the Athame could, whereas he could work directly with Maeve, freeing her from the restrictions she was subject to.

Except that Nemfection allows for rule-breaking, so maybe Lea could share.

Also -- entirely within the rules -- Lea could have made a bargain with Maeve, offering Maeve some power in return for something else.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Maeve would accept an unsolicited gift. Fae don’t share. Nor would she enter into a bargain with an liegewoman of Mab, as Mab showed Harry Mab can take over such an obligation.

A bargain completed & fulfilled, would leave no obligation.
Harry hadn't fulfilled; he had an obligation.

g33k:
I don't think it went onward from Mab.
Maybe she has a Vault, like Hades; or some Island, like Harry.

Maybe she's still carrying it, under a glamour... or just fastened on a leg-sheath where it passes un-noticed.

Maybe she's wrestling, even now, with Nemesis.
