Q: In Tiger's Curse when Mr. Kadam and Kelsey are fly to India, Mr. Kadam asks Kelsey if she'd like to hear about myths from his country. He mentions a myth about tiger's bravely fighting great dragons. Did you already have Tiger's Destiny in mind when this is mentioned? Or did you build the rest of the story off that myth?

A: Ah a which came first the chicken or the egg question. I think the idea of dragons came first and the myth followed.

Q: So in TD Ren is standing in the woods with Durga and he has his arms around her when Kelsey sees them. Will we ever know what was said between Ren and Durga? She had to have known something and it wasn't long before they leave for the battle and he gives her the ring. If Durga had been honest with him as to how it would turn out I would expect that it helped him decide to give it to her instead of keeping it to himself. Is there more to the story?

A: This is a good question. It's very likely you will learn what was going on in both of their heads when I do Destiny daily quotes. Sadly, that is probably a few years off as I'm still in the early part of Quest.

Q: How do you pronounce the name of Kelsey & Ren's daughter?

A: Kamala Deschen Rajaram. Kamala (the K is for Kelsey and it's just like it sounds--Ka as in cut, and mala sounds like walla. Deschen is De like desk and shin like a shin bone)

(uwielbiam imię Kamala, od zawsze)

Q: In Destiny, when they went to see Durga and Kelsey was telling her about their adventure--she said there was a shark and Durga was confused about that and she looked at Mr. Kadam. Did i miss something or is that not explained yet?

A: Good catch and not explained yet.

Q: Do Kishan and Dugra have children? Because he mentioned that he had a family in his letter to Kelsey and Ren?
And also, why does Dugra call Kelsey her daughter when she visits all the statues, but then when Kelsey was in the past, she was Dugra's sister?

A: Yes. Their relationship is complicated. If you carefully reread the letter Kishan sends in the sacred scroll at the end of Destiny. It might help to answer your questions. Hint: The original end of Destiny makes this more clear.

(teraz pytanie- jaką wersję zakończenia czytaliśmy? czy w polskim wydaniu będzie zakończenie orginalne?)

Q: I just read the Original Ending of Tiger's Curse (and had a good cry at the end too) and I just want to know, why did you not use that as your actual ending? Was it because it closed things off more?

A: It was changed during the editorial process. I am happy with the new ending too but I'm glad to give you fans an opportunity to get to read it all.

Q: So I have read the Rising Generation and its new epilogue Father of India. When I was reading it I had to reread one part a few times "Phet informed me that I am my own ancestor". So the Ren and Kishan father is one of Kishan's great grand kids?

A: Yes. This is one of the time paradoxes in the story and it will make you go crazy if you think about it too much. If Kishan had not stayed in the past he would not be the "Father of India" specifically the Rajaram house. His progeny ended up being his own ancestors.

Koszmar- tłumaczenie ostatnich zdań: Jeśli Kishan nie pozostanie w przeszłości, nie zostanie ojcem Indii ani domu Rajaram. Jego linia potomków kończy się na jego własnych przodkach.

Sposób myślenia Colleen mnie chyba przerasta..

Destiny napisał:

PIERWOTNE zakończenie IV części jest najlepsze!!!!!! :D <powiedziała miłośniczka Rena xD>

Miłośniczce rena mogę to ewentualnie wybaczyć... ale jako osoba, która sama pisze opowiadania musisz przyznać, że Collen namieszała i stworzyła mało mądre rozwiązanie. Poza tym, jesli rzeczywiscie zastanawia się nad tą V (czy sobie ją darować), to narobiła wiele niespodzianek,. niedomówien i znaków zapytania...

Destiny napisał:

ona tak naprawdę nie ma pomysłu na zakończenie w ogóle całej serii.

ano właśnie!
gdyby była konsekwentna, i tak jak przez połowę I części pokazywała że Kishan jest zły, tak potem zrobiła z niego większego bohatera.. tym samym się zaplatała.
Gdyby Kishan był rzeczywiście zły, i po prostu chciał Renowi odebrać Kelsey, sprawa z zakończeniem byłaby prosta..
a tymczasem miała superbohatera i super-super bohatera i dziewczynę w wieku "wątpliwości " co zakończyła wielkim poświęceniem, bzdurnym zakończeniem i Kelsey jako kurę domową :D

Teraz dowaliłaś "Kelsey jako kura domowa", phahahahahaahahaha xD

Q: Where did you get the idea to use a black tiger?

A: I was researching tigers and came across a story of a black tiger being hunted in the Indian jungle. Kings sent hunters to find him but there was never a photo and he was never caught. Hunters brought back black panthers but never a tiger. It is possible to have a black tiger just like black panthers but there has never been one that we have evidence of. I thought the stories were fascinating and Kishan's tiger self came from that.

I tu się myli, jest co najmniej jedno zdjęcie czarnego tygrysa :P
A przy okazji- biały tygrys przy czarnym, to strasznie pospolite umaszczenie :P

Q: I was wondering about the Shiva and Parvati story told in Tiger's Voyage. Is this just a story to teach a lesson? Or did this really happen? I was wondering how Kishan and Durga's relationship had to do with Shiva and Parvati, or if it had nothing to do with it at all?

A: You are right to assume that there is more going on there than just playing a role. This story was meant to be a foreshadow of the future. Kelsey took on the role of Parvati and Kishan was Shiva which irritated Ren because he ended up as the outsider Indra, a lovely conundrum intended to confuse the reader and make them think that symbolically Kishan and Kelsey should be together when actually Kelsey was representing Durga (another avatar of Parvati). The foreshadow was an indication of Kishan's future, not Ren's and Kelsey's.
