Why does Vandara want Kira sent to the killing fields so badly?

Why is the Council of Guardians suddenly starting to be on Kira’s side?

Much better on the punctuation front, keep it up.

I love how you guys will come back to your threads and read how people have responded to you, then respond again. It makes it really interesting to read through, and it's easy to follow your thoughts and to replay the conversation.

Great thoughts were expressed about the different roles of men and women in this society, and there seems to be a lot of mistrust in the council. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out!]]> 2021-11-11 22:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/2ebridd2cl7so3yp/wish/1885194064 rachelj101593 https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/2ebridd2cl7so3yp/wish/1900586488 Did the Council kill Jo's Parent's?

Reading this thread is very interesting. I was intrigued by every question, well done by you all.

Belle proposed a very interesting theory about a possible motive for the council having something to do with the deaths of the artists' parents.

The question about what happened to Matt is very interesting too. Rachel proposed that he may have gone to look for Kira's dad, but why would he risk going there?]]> 2021-11-21 04:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/2ebridd2cl7so3yp/wish/1904032124 Why is there no mention of the beasts on the singer's robe? aussiat100913 https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/2ebridd2cl7so3yp/wish/1904921757 2021-11-22 00:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/2ebridd2cl7so3yp/wish/1904921757 What did Kira learn about her dad? aussiat100913 https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/2ebridd2cl7so3yp/wish/1904922028 2021-11-22 00:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/thamilton75_1/2ebridd2cl7so3yp/wish/1904922028 There may be a mystery afoot surrounding Annabella’s death.
