Characters of The Keys To The Kingdom Series - The Will

The Will

The Will was the document the Architect left behind, dictating what was to happen within the House. The Trustees broke the Will into seven pieces, each hiding a different piece. The First Part of the Will escaped, and focused on finding a suitable Heir, and guiding him on his task. Eventually, all of it may be freed and added to the Will's amorphous form, Dame Primus, whose name means "First Lady". In the beginning of Superior Saturday she (to her chagrin) has split into two smaller versions of herself (Dame Quarto and Dame Septum) to fix the bursts of Nothing in the House.

Animal Form Virtue Imprisonment
Frog Fortitude/Diligence Fused in a crystal, locked in an unbreakable box, guarded by metal Sentinels, fused on a surface of a dead sun
Bear Patience/Prudence In a centre of a sun guarded by the Mariner
Carp Faith Trapped in Feverfew's worldlet
Snake Justice Wrapped around the Fourth Key
Beast Temperance Chained and guarded by The Winged Servants of the Night
Raven Charity Split into millions of pieces and hidden in droplets of rain
Apple Tree Hope Trapped in a cage that will kill everything that touches it, and can only be opened by The Seventh Key, or The Mariner (at the cost of his life)

Famous quotes containing the words the and/or will:

    Until the end of the Middle Ages, and in many cases afterwards too, in order to obtain initiation in a trade of any sort whatever—whether that of courtier, soldier, administrator, merchant or workman—a boy did not amass the knowledge necessary to ply that trade before entering it, but threw himself into it; he then acquired the necessary knowledge.
    Philippe Ariés (20th century)

    For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:12.
