> Not mine.  Not sure how many of us are following this, but in case you missed it; a hell of a cliffhanger, with shenanigans incoming.

> **u/Arancaytar** [+4]  (an hour later)
> 
> ... that's one hell of a way to end the chapter.
> 
> Considering how well she's taking this, she must have something up her sleeve.

> **u/hoja_nasredin** [+3]  *Dai-Gurren Brigade* (4 hours later)
> 
> I suppose the Apprentice will bring her back as some sort of undead?

>> **u/Empiricist_or_not** [+3]  *Aspiring polite Hegemonizing swarm* (7 hours later)
>> 
>> Well she does have some necromantic ability herself, and shes already practiced possessing herself.

>>> **u/Jello_Raptor** [+2]  *The Last Tool User* (7 hours later)
>>> 
>>> I'm not so sure. 
>>> 
>>> That necromantic ability is tied to her name, and she just burnt the last chunk of her power to cast the curse. 
>>> 
>>> Not to mention she does seem like the person to happily sacrifice herself for something as big as keeping a Hashmallim from entering the world. 
>>> 
>>> If she survives I expect it'll be because of a new name that she receives in that moment, some shenanigans with a name that's less beholden to causality, or some shenanigans with the rule of three that she's still got with the Heiress.

>>>> **u/JdubCT** [+2]  (11 hours later)
>>>> 
>>>> Squire being transitional like it is I wouldn't be surprised if a new name popped up. She's built a cult of personality strong enough to form a new name in the form of Adjutant already.
>>>> 
>>>> Death Knight? Grey Knight? She's obviously not going to be a hero but maybe something neutral-ish like Ranger?

>>>>> **u/Jello_Raptor** [+1]  *The Last Tool User* (12 hours later)
>>>>> 
>>>>> Possibly, but the state space seems large enough that I don't feel comfortable speculating on the exact name.

>>>>>> **u/JdubCT** [+1]  (12 hours later)
>>>>>> 
>>>>>> If it doesn't have something to do with explosives, goblin fire, and zombies I'll feel cheated.

>>>>> **u/Arancaytar** [+1]  (14 hours later)
>>>>> 
>>>>> Ranger is taken, though, isn't it?

>>>>>> **u/JdubCT** [+1]  (15 hours later)
>>>>>> 
>>>>>> I meant another neutral name. Not the Ranger name itself.
