I like thinking "the heart is weak" is referencing more to Walter. He needs to keep at least one with him. I mean, I know I'm wrong, but it's still how I like to envision it.

Exactly; Believing in something that goes against someone's income is definitely hard.

@BobKruse, there are a few ways of looking at it, the Fae (and dragons) that remember, would say the war started about 300 years prior, the Humans would say it started at Omaha, so that event marks both the beginning of the war, and the beginning of it's end. It isn't so much that the humans prefer the old way and aren't giving up, with the exception of a select few none of them know there's anything wrong with it, they believe that the Pooka from the farms are little more than wild beasts, chained up to keep people safe, and because pooka blood and meat has become a commodity, they don't want to believe the truth, because to do that is to admit that they are guilty of terrible crimes. The select few who do know, either are silenced by money, or are considered crazy, and not to be believed. Now that there's rebellion, the humans are trying their damnedest to silence it.

@Starj many stories shorten the timeframe, though I believe tail 2 comes after 100 years traditionally, as Riley does have poetic license and control over how all the races and creatures in her world work, by default, she is correct, I was just pointing out differences.

I was waiting for the end of the war. It seemed so close. But the humans prefer the old way and aren't giving up. So I think this is just the beginning of the war, with rebellion spreading through the fae. Of course, I'm just guessing...

you are both rite in ways. they get 1 tail every thousand years. meaning most can get killed before that time. if it is based off Japan's Kitsun. nine tails in pokeamon was also based off the same thing.

mhalpern at 7:48PM, March 9, 2015

Yeah 9 takes centuries, still I thought they were supposed to start at 1 tail

rmccool at 7:37PM, March 9, 2015

3 is a lucky number ;) and was considering personality types tied to numbers 3 is easygoing and friendly. other numbers seemed less likely to help. next as number of tails is tied to magic ability and age..it seemed likely that most would level out at lower numbers, with only a few achieving the 9 max.. seemed unlikely to get a new tail every year as they only get 9.

aww..

Interesting that both mother and child have three tails, as those are supposed to come with age

rmccool at 4:25AM, March 9, 2015

yes.
