There's also a new password protected post, entitled 'etymology'.

But the origin of which word?

I know you mean well, but please stop using my story to train your keepers. You are treading into VERY personal territory and I'm not comfortable with your little game.

I've been trying the origins of a few words here but nothing has worked so far.

@Tbelle & Homer: I received the same e-mail. Dun dun dun. I tried using the word "very" as the etymology password. Sadly, it didn't work. But that e-mail freaked me out a bit lol. Scary Anna is Scary.

By the way this was a great blog post. I especially enjoyed the note on the refrigerator.

Oh yes, I love that website. I've already tried more than a few of those -- my earlier message wasn't clear on that matter, sorry!

While I am here, I'd just like to say that I e-mailed Anna Collins, too, and shall let all of you know if I receive anything.

First, S.P.I., I found both your reading & your post about it truly awesome. A Pony?! for you, too. And am wondering if the "Etymology" PW might be Easter related?

Dearest Anna,

I am the current Keeper of Death.

And I am more than pleased to be writing to you now.

I am sorry to have disturbed your quaint life, although I must admit that your life so far has been VERY interesting.

I am not sure as to what purpose all this keeper business divines, but I don't believe we need to be at odds with one another so easily. Is this not correct?

Humbly,

~S.P.I.~

Oh wow, The Tower's keeper loses his connection for a bit and suddenly it takes way off.

I really need to get back into this before it leaves me behind.
Looks like I got some page crawling to do.
Anyone want to give me the short version?

Littleloki, well, first of all we had to change cards so you're not the Keeper of the Tower anymore, mrshomersimpson is Smile Just send your card to them and they will ask you to choose another one.

What else? The Wise One is the homeless guy from the train station; Anna's aunt is the keeper of High Priestess and from the wiki page we found a new blog, but its author J.E. wants stay unknown for now.
Anna's house also burned down and her mother is the one who set it on fire.

I'm sure I forgot something Smile

Edit// So, we need to find the Keeper of each element? We already know Aiden is Fire. Who could be the others?

Smile Yup, we have a Cardkeepers WIKI so don't give up Littlelok b/c you CAN catch up. As Elethamei says, just email for a new card asap. Four cards are still Available.

Also in reply to my email Anna Collins wrote:
You seem intelligent and well-spoken, yet kind. I'm glad that you are training as a Keeper, as we need more of your kind.

Are you familiar with theories on gaming? The best kinds of games draw you in quickly while teaching you how to play them. Challenges are easy at first until you hit a state of flow, then the game designers gradually ramp up the difficulty and intensity until you do not want to stop playing.

That is what it's like to be a Keeper. At first it is interesting and diverting and then it consumes you. In many ways this is a good thing, as your cause is a great one. But it can be difficult to extricate yourself. For many years I thought the messages and challenges and the whole underlying mystery had to do with my father. Once I realized it was all about ME, that I was their chosen one, it was almost too late for me to walk away.

I DID walk away and try to live a normal life for a long time. But I am being drawn back in as nobody else can truly fill my role. I struggle with this. On the one hand I have been chosen to be a warrior. On the other hand I want a quiet life. You can imagine my dilemma.

That's all for now. I'm tired

Hmph, I had a hunch with who being the Keeper of what element, but apparently I was wrong. Knowing that each direction correspond to one element I noticed that all the directions pop up in the Card Keepers blog (except south, I didn't find that), so I connected a person with each direction.
American West -> Jenna -> Water
1 East Route 66 -> Sarah -> Air
North 107th Avenue in Phoenix -> Jack from the storage facility (ok, I admit, this was a stretch Smile ) -> Earth
And then Aiden who told us he's the Keeper of fire.

Winter only confirmed Aiden's part and didn't say anything else Confused Well, was worth of shot. I already have another theory, but I don't wanna spam them with my crazy ramblings Smile
