If the mage info page is to be believed, he's seeing the future, except in a slightly abstract/symbolic way, I guess. As with the ghosts: Reynir predicted them showing up, but the literal face-shattering attack didn't happen and was probably his subconscious telling him that they were dangerous, soul/identity-killing/stealing buggers... pretty much what we saw happen with poor Watcher troll, really.

As post-Rash Icelander, I don't know if Reynir's subconscious would go for Christian symbolism, so I'm inclined to read the church as a real place the team might be headed to explore next chapter (also due to the lack of swirly dream panels), while the candle and the window sheep are borrowed from the setting as the most fitting things there to convey what Reynir's prophetic skill is trying to tell him - I kind of like the idea that they represent people, i.e. the descendants of Year 0 survivors who hid out in that church - maybe one of them is acting as priest (preserving light/knowledge/faith - hence the candle) and two among their "flock" who developed their own kind of magic (the sheep)?

I can't wait to see where this is going! :D

Mm-hm! Exactly! Is it true, but inexact, basically.


Yeah, for all we know, he could know as much about Christianity as the average person about, say, Sumerian myth. There's just so much we don't knoooooooooooow. orz

I really like your interpretation of what the candle and sheep mean, and it'll be interesting to see if you're correct. Reading it gave me a big "omggggg" moment.
