Quote 1
I ain't never seen a creature like that before, she says. He's so smart, he's–
More like a person than a bird? I says. (6.755-756)
The further we get into the book, the more it becomes clear that Nero is the real deal. Or possibly a trapped Animorph. Either way, Saba's connection with him comes to represent her deeply empathetic relationship with nature as a whole.
Quote 2
Every six years, on midsummer's eve, they sacrifice a boy. They kill him. An that boy cain't jest be any boy. He's gotta be eighteen year old an born at midwinter. (6.134)
It seems like Pa isn't the only person who's obsessed with the concept of fate, after all. Every year, the King enacts a bizarre sacrificial ritual which he claims rejuvenates him, thereby rejuvenating his subjects. It's all a bunch of chaaled out nonsense, of course, but we wonder if these two prophecies are in any way connected...
Quote 3
It'll happen if it's meant to happen, he says. It's all written in the stars. It's all fate. (6.730)
Oh, boy. Who would have guessed that Saba's new boyfriend would be obsessed with fate, too? Can't a girl get a break? Or at least a fortuneteller who's more direct about his predictions?
