Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the beginning of the story, Elodie is on her way to Two Castles. Where has she come from?

Answer: Lahnt

All the answers are places named in the book, but we only really get to know Two Castles well, and Lahnt a little, from Elodie's recollections.

2. The plan is for Elodie to become an apprentice. Her anxious parents want her to do something "sensible", but what does Elodie want to be?

Answer: Mansioner (actor)

Elodie's parents want her to be a weaver, but Elodie's heart is set on being an actor, or "mansioner" as it is called in the book. She does meet many cat trainers in Two Castles, however.

3. On the ship, Elodie's new friend gives her something to take on shore, telling her it is "good luck" to take one of these into Two Castles. What is it?

Answer: A kitten

She tells Elodie that she needn't keep the kitten after landing, as "No cat starves here." I still don't like the idea of abandoning a kitten, but in this case it all works out.

4. On her first day in town, Elodie is robbed of all her money. Who or what is the culprit?

Answer: A cat

Just as she is about to pay for a cap, a cat knocks the coin out of her hand, then runs off with it. Elodie has been getting some odd looks because she is not wearing a cap.

5. After Elodie finds that it costs money to be apprenticed, she accepts the first job offered her. What is it?

Answer: Assistant to the dragon

As it happens, part of her job as dragon's assistant is to announce to everybody the various services the dragon offers, so "town crier" is close.

6. What is the name of the dragon who takes Elodie in and offers her a job?

Answer: Masteress Meenore

Meenore is addressed as "Masteress" because "only a dragon knows ITS gender", and is referred to politely as IT. I hope you recognised that Smaug is from a completely different book.

7. The ogre comes to the dragon to ask for help finding his favourite dog, which has been stolen. What is the ogre's name?

Answer: Count Jonty Um

The Count and Elodie soon become good friends.

8. The ogre is a shapeshifter and can turn into different animals. What animal does he turn into while he and Elodie are on their way to his castle?

Answer: Monkey

Elodie is charmed, and they share a meal together.

9. At the castle, the ogre is hosting King Grenville and Princess Renn at a banquet. What job does he want Elodie to do at the banquet?

Answer: Cupbearer, pouring wine for the important guests

The king later claims that he trained her to do the work correctly.

10. Elodie is arrested and imprisoned. What crime is she accused of?

Answer: Poisoning King Grenville

The real culprit will try to kill her, and make it look like suicide in a fit of remorse.
