Storm Hawks Chapter 18: The Pit
Where is Nigel? Where is this delightfully dangerous Pit?
Good questions. The answer would be a spoiler. You’ll recognize this setting when it appears much later in Legend of the Storm Hawks.
More importantly, what’s all this talk about awakening Edmund’s potential?
The fundamental theme of Rootstock Saga is evolution. Change. Becoming something more. Awakening mindgifts. Awakening magic.
Adversity awakens gifts. The phrase is repeated throughout the series. What does it mean?
Survival of the fittest. Natural selection. Adaptive mutations in adverse environmental conditions.
It’s Darwinian theory applied to the evolution of magic in humankind.
