firstly the plot says:
Quote:
one will help lift the curse. one holds powers of witchcraft. one will take the bearer home if he is lost...
which implies that there is at least 3 rings. if you want to be pedantic and say two of these points might refer to the same ring, then technically all of them can easily apply to just one. i personally believe from the dots that there is at least one more ring she didn't get to talk about.
secondly, if everyone born into royalty for the last 1000 years was male and chose a wife, then amira/nabile will be the first princess. (this easily explains the first princess bit and why he waited 1000 years). if you want to know why they made such a fuss about it being 1000 years, i'd say its because any normal normal person would be dead. i mean, if someone said to you they were 1000 years old (and you were gullible enought to believe them) then wouldn't you make a fuss about it?
if you dont like that idea, then it may be similar to The Mummy, and either amira/nabile is a reincarnation of the first princess, which would explain why jazan waited 1000 years, and why neither of them remember it.
thirdly, for whoever said that they dont think nabile is a princess, because that would be a difficult thing to forget, she could easily be an illegitemate(sp?) child and have been left somewhere or gotten lost. Also, if the father knew that his first daughter would be the one to marry jazan and break the curse, then as soon as she was born, he could leave her with a foster family, no-one knowing who she was, in an attempt to stop the curse from being broken.
fourthly, when nabile said that he wont be the only one to come back to life, i think it needs to be more sinister than his old city or anything, because remember, theres meant to be different ways to do this plot, including fighting, so you need someone to fight- i reckon his entire army will come back to to life.
ok, i'll shut up now *hides away*
