Well Mike that could be taken to mean that there were more kids with stripes in the rest of the family or that Zig was the only one. We'll have to wait and see how it goes and look for more clues.

He could have kept a low enough profile to pass under Logan's radar for stories but like I said we'll have to wait and see.

Ah, but if he saw into the future then maybe he asked only because he knew she would refuse to accept the offer.

Well I for one don't think Anatol is Arden, but I also don't think he in just a priest. I can't help but thing of Sheila's wish that sent them both off into other worlds. A wish that never really came true, so far. Though I doubt he is Bjorn reborn.

There are others who could have been put there as Anatol, lets not forget that.

The possibility that there is a Ben/Glory thing going on with Anatol/Arden is an interesting one, but I'm not sure that's the right course.

I can't wait to see the next chapter.

Bjorn was broght back in Act 2, only not the way Sheila wanted him brought back.... Read the chapter after Arden kills herself.

In the Anatol/Arden debate, a lot of people seem to be overlooking the fact that Arden was not reborn into Sheila's dimension, but into a human dimension, as is clearly put in Act 3, Epilogue 1. It has been stated over and over again that the Amulet of Lakash had a strange way of playing with age, as does the new amulet as shown in Act 3, Epilogue 2, so in the event that Anatol actually is Arden, there is not necessarily a paradox present. It was also mentioned that the [new] amulet performs a similar function to the origional, not the same, however, so it is left unsaid whether or not a person's alter-identity is eliminated in the crossing of realities nor how they would appear.

This perspective would certainly explain how Anatol was able to avoid being noticed if he is in fact, Arden; he simply didn't exist before, and with Zig's memory of her Aunt, it does not seem that Anatol was ever part of her family.

This seems to be the best explaination to me, at least.

Z - Arden said in same epilouge that he had another amulet that would send him back to Sheila...
