Lorian's Prediction

Imagine being able to create a real life illusion or to heal a person that was going to die in minutes.  The book serious “The Guardian of Time Trilogy” by Marianne Curly is based off Greek Mythology and special super hero like powers called the Guard. The Guard protects the world from the evil that lurks between each realm called the Order of Chaos. What would happen if Lorian, the head of The Guard, were to become a male and drop his positions at the head of The Guard?

Lorian once took the head of The Guard Lorian decided to be a non-gender do to this fact from “The Dark” the second book in the series: ‘I was born male. Having no fixed sex was a decision I made. To be a good leader I wanted to be impartial ad fair, and I felt I could only do that if I was of no sexual persuasion and desired none.’ After the battle between The Guard and The Order of Chaos I would believe that Lorian would become a male instead of a non-gender.

Though Lorian knows why he must be a non-gender it is hard for him to keep his eyes of Lady Arabella. Rochelle, a main character in “The Key”, has her own observation and is starting to become suspicious. This is Rochelle’s experience of this unknown affection between Lorian and Lady Arabella, “I get a sense of her gaze going straight over me and my eyes follow. Ahead, Lorian is staring back. It’s as if they are the only ones in the room- in the universe! The connection is so strong, so overpowering, that it throws my thoughts into confusion. What’s going on? Do they have feelings for each other? I mean, Lorian chooses to be neither male nor female, everyone knows that.”

Even if Lorian decides to become a male once again to be with Lady Arabella, their will need to be a lot of planning to make sure someone responsibly to take the throne. Arkarian, Lorian’s only son is one of the most respected people in all of The Guard. Rochelle and Dillon, both traitors from The Order of Chaos both put their hands in Arkarian because they trust that he trusts them and that they won’t be traitors to The Guard. Lorian even looks to his son for his bigger missions. Arkarian will be the next leader to The Guard.

           

Dropping the highest position of The Guard would be one of the most difficult things Lorian will ever do. Lorian has a loving and intelligent son to take his place once he leaves and many who would agree Arkarian will be great at the head of The Guard. If it is to love Lady Arabella, she must be what he devotes himself to. Love is all anyone needs to live happily.
