Quote #4
"It told me the next person who walked through my door was going to be this really important person. Like in human history. That they needed my help and I better step up big-time. Or it could mean the end of the world." (7.200)
Ah, yes, we were just waiting for that old theme about The One Person Who Can Save the World. Anyway, this is our first hint that Will isn't just one of the good guys—he might be the good guy…as if being the main character of the book weren't enough of a hint. But Will just assumes he is on the good side. There are plenty of important people in human history who weren't good.
Quote #5
"They've coined a number of terms for us down the ages: Wayfarers, Secondaries, Celestial Templars." (24.135)
The term "Celestial Templars" makes us think right away of the Knights Templar, a medieval order of knights—did someone say Paladins?—dedicated to fighting Islamic foes in the crusades. But these aren't just Templars—they're celestial Templars, so that also makes think of angels. Angels with big swords. But most importantly "angels," which makes us wonder if there isn't an ultimate good-vs.-evil, God-vs.-Satan battle brewing behind the scenes.
