This is it, y’all: THE FINAL TORTALL BOOK.\u00c2\u00a0THE LAST ONE<\/em>. This is a very surreal thing for me, TRUST ME. After this, I’ll be making a long journey through the Circle of Magic books, which are probably about geometry or something. For now, though, let us all bask in my awful predictions for\u00c2\u00a0Mastiff<\/em>.<\/p>\n

WAIT, LET’S FIRST GO OVER MY\u00c2\u00a0BLOODHOUND<\/em> PREDICTIONS.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First and foremost, Beka will earn a promotion for the work she did in\u00c2\u00a0Terrier<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0Not… not really. She’s just a Dog. WITHOUT A PARTNER LOL.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. But this also means that her and her Dog partner will be given a\u00c2\u00a0new<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0district to police outside of the Lower City.\u00c2\u00a0TECHNICALLY THIS IS TRUE HELL YEAH<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. I predict that her partner is Ersken. COME ON, GOOD COP BAD COP ROUTINE. MAKE IT HAPPEN.\u00c2\u00a0Oh lord. I had no idea what I was doing.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. At some point, she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll join up with Tunstall and Goodwin to work a large case.\u00c2\u00a0It’s all downhill from this point on, isn’t it? Just a disaster of predictions.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. We will learn more about Beka\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s siblings.\u00c2\u00a0nope.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Tansy will reappear in this novel.\u00c2\u00a0Well, at least I got this right.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. So will Hasfush.\u00c2\u00a0He did! In the beginning!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Beka will\u00c2\u00a0kind of<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0date Rosto for a while, but will ultimately decide against seeing him.\u00c2\u00a0CRYING WITH LAUGHTER<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. ROSTO AS THE ROGUE OMG. Okay, I think the next case Beka works will involve him a LOT. <\/span>I was so wrong, SO WRONG.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  10. and then\u00c2\u00a0and then<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. um\u00c2\u00a0um<\/strong><\/li>\n
  12. stuff?\u00c2\u00a0i<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. will happen?\u00c2\u00a0WAS SO WRONG.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  14. HERE\u00e2\u20ac\u2122S WHERE I FALL APART. Because\u00c2\u00a0everything else was already explained and resolved<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  15. I FEEL LIKE I DON\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T HAVE ANY OTHER HINTS.<\/li>\n
  16. Uhhh\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the pigeons??? They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll bring Beka some ghosts?\u00c2\u00a0HAHAHAHAHAHA<\/strong><\/li>\n
  17. Pounce will be the cat to end all cats?\u00c2\u00a0NO OH MY GOD WHY<\/strong><\/li>\n
  18. Ersken and Kora will grow closer? <\/span>ACTUALLY THIS IS TRUE<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  19. Beka will\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 become a bloodhound?\u00c2\u00a0You have no idea, Mark. NO IDEA.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  20. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122M JUST BULLSHITTING ALL OF YOU <\/span>No, because that implies I was aware of how ignorant I was. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  21. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122M NOT READY FOR THIS <\/span>AMEN<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  22. I AM NOT READY\u00c2\u00a0AMEN<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Like\u00c2\u00a0Bloodhound<\/em>, I have some pieces to go on, but I’m largely going into the final book of this trilogy with absolutely no hope of getting anything right, so. Accept that. ACCEPT IT.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. At some point, Beka and Achoo will get more training. This counts even if it happens in between books and off-page.<\/li>\n
    2. ACHOO FALLS IN LOVE. THIS IS A GREAT STORY, MAKE IT HAPPEN.<\/li>\n
    3. I’m bringing back a prediction, too, but it’ll be in multiple parts. First part: Rosto will be a giant baby around Beka when she sees him, and it’ll take a while to warm up to her.<\/li>\n
    4. Now<\/em> she will work closer with the Rogue of Corus throughout the book.<\/li>\n
    5. She will also have to deal with her own attraction to Rosto.<\/li>\n
    6. In the end, I predict that she and Rosto become a couple.<\/li>\n
    7. Tunstall will be a HOT MESS when he first gets back out as a Dog after breaking his legs.<\/li>\n
    8. MUCH COMEDY WILL BE DERIVED FROM THE PERFECT BUDDY COP DUO OF TUNSTALL AND BEKA.<\/li>\n
    9. MUCH COMEDY<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    10. One of Beka’s siblings will express a desire to become a Dog.<\/li>\n
    11. This is an easy one, I know, but because of something Beka does in this novel, she’ll earn the nickname Mastiff.<\/li>\n
    12. She will get a promotion at the\u00c2\u00a0end<\/em> of the novel.<\/li>\n
    13. Lady Teodorie will finally warm up to Beka.<\/li>\n
    14. THAT’S ABOUT ALL I’VE GOT. Like\u00c2\u00a0Bloodhound<\/em>, I have no context for what\u00c2\u00a0Mastiff<\/em> will be about.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      HELP.<\/p>\n

      *<\/p>\n

      I\u00c2\u00a0believe<\/em> this is also the final\u00c2\u00a0Tortall and Other Lands<\/em> short story, and LORD, it is a doozy. While I did warn on the Youtube video itself, please note.\u00c2\u00a0“Huntress” is a very disturbing story that deals with rape, violence, violence against homeless people, and other things that are not easy to deal with<\/strong>. Please take care if you watch these videos without knowing what the story is!<\/p>\n

      Part 1<\/p>\n
