Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is NOT one of the Shataiki's features?

Answer: yellow, pupil-less eyes

The book describes them just after Tom first enters the Black Forest; "A thousand black creatures clung to the branches surrounding him, peering at him with red, pupil-less eyes. A thin pink tongue snaked out of black lips and tested the air...Peering at him with red eyes too large for their angular faces.

The bat closest to him curled its lips to expose dirty yellow fangs." Their eyes were red not yellow.

2. What separated the colored forest from the black forest?

Answer: the river

There was only one bridge to cross the river and the Shataiki nor Teelh could cross it. Only those from the colored forest could cross it.

3. What is NOT one of the things that Eylon does?

Answer: Favors

The quote that Tanis wants Thomas to repeat is:
"Elyon chooses, he pursues, he rescues, he woos, he protects, he lavishes, and so will you."

4. Tom had to eat a fruit in order not to have "dreams". What did the fruit NOT taste like?

Answer: strawberries

"The nectar tasted like a cross between a banana and an orange but tart. Like a banana-orange-lemon."
It was called the rhambutan fruit.

5. What city did Markous infest with the virus?

Answer: Bangkok

Paris, Moscow, Beijing, New Delhi, Cape Town, Bangkok, Sydney, New York, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Los Angeles were actually all hit with the virus, but Markous infested Bangkok.

6. What is one of the two Roush's names?

Answer: Michal

Miknas is the keeper of the Thrall, Gabi isn't a character in the book, and Palus is the name of Johan and Rachelle's father. The Roush's names are Michal and Gabil.

7. What temperature does the Raison Vaccine mutate at?

Answer: 179.47

Monique says to Tom, "Tell my father the Raison Vaccine mutates at 179.47 degrees after two hours."
She told him this while she was a captive in a laboratory next to the Phan Tu River.

8. Who drank the water from the black forest and caused the colored forest to fall?

Answer: Tanis

Tanis is the reason the colored forest fell. He was deceived by the way that Teeleh looked. He didn't think that anyone who looked like Teeleh did could possibly be bad.

9. What was different about the lake in the colored forest from the lake in the middle of the desert?

Answer: There was no bottom to the lake in the colored forest.

Elyon lived in the lake in the colored forest. When you swam in the lake you could feel his presence and hear his voice. The forest in the middle of the desert was just a plain lake, but it did have its uses. If you entered it, you would be healed from a disease that everyone had, but you had to do it constantly.

10. After Thomas, Johan, and Rachelle had left the colored forest, how many years did Thomas not dream?

Answer: 15

"Rachelle was wrong. Thomas did not eat the fruit forever. He only ate it for fifteen years. Not once in those fifteen years did he dream, but then, in the worst of times, when they didn't think it could possibly get any worse, just as the boy had foretold, Thomas dreamed again."
