On the old forums I made a post about this, but since they no longer exist, I’ll write something again.
The final chapter of The Soldiers of Halla has been talked about and discussed quite a bit. Some love it. Others hate it. Some understand it fully. Others don’t get it. I’m not going to explain it all here because I’d prefer that readers draw their own conclusions. But I will make a few comments. First off, I don’t consider the ending to be a cliff hanger. Not even close. The story is very clear about what is going to happen next, and that is that Bobby will soon go to Solara and Courtney will not be far behind. To understand how the events described in the last chapter could have happened, you have to look at the end of the second to last chapter. Bobby lamented to Uncle Press that after all they had been through, it seemed unfair that the Travelers were not being allowed to live the normal lives they fought so hard for. All they wanted was a little bit of time to live those lives, which in the general scheme of Halla, wasn’t much . . . and Uncle Press agreed with him. How that was able to happen, and what all the implications are, I’ll leave that up to you to debate and decide.
I’ll say one other thing, and that’s about the guy who delivered Bobby’s journals to him in the hospital. Short of actually writing his name, I pretty much described exactly who it was. From the events that unfolded in the hospital room with Bobby and Courtney kissing and being interrupted, to his physical description, to Bobby recognizing him, to him saying that he had nine other journals to deliver, there is no other possible person that could have been…but Uncle Press.

Naymeer
Naymeer was a wierdo who thought he was a traveler but he wasn’t. who know what i found creepy? it was that Naymeer was supposed to be Bobby’s mentor or whatever they call them for learning how to be a Traveler. but he turned wierd.
Isabeau says:
yeah, he really was wierd
Mozartghost says:
I don’t think Naymeer really got killed.
He just got flumed.
Isabeau says:

Naymeer says:
I’M NOT A WERIDO!!!!!! Oh wait, yes I am, no I’m not, my sister say’s I’m weird because I love hippos. Hippos are freaking awesome!
ilovependragon says:
hippos are cool but we weren’t talking about YOU. we were talking about the wierdo Naymeer in Pendragon.
Naymeer says:
I’M NAYMEER!! But I’m not old, I’m 11.
Lead Traveler says:
