Quote #7
He began to feel, too, that they were no longer alone. Twice already he had heard again that strange, high yelping in the sky, but now there was more. Beings of his own kind were about here, somewhere, in the tree-thronged Park. And he felt, too, that the grey-massed sky was no longer empty of life, but peopled with creatures neither of the Dark nor of the Light, moving to and fro, clustering and separating, holding great power. (12.6)
Before the Hunter and the Rider fight in the woods, Will senses their power, and it's so palpable to him that he could almost reach out and touch it. Notice how he experiences it with many of his senses? He doesn't just feel the power; he can hear and see it, too.
Quote #8
And he saw then a scene like nothing he had ever seen before, nor ever saw again. Half the sky was thick and dreadful with the silent raging of the Dark and its whirling tornado power; but now riding towards it, out of the west with the speed of dropping stones, came Herne and the Wild Hunt. At the peak of their power now, in full cry, they came roaring out of the great dark thundercloud, through streaking lightning and grey-purple clouds, riding on the storm. (12.62)
When the Hunter and the Rider are fighting, there's so much power flowing between them that they seem like an epic storm. Pretty cool.
Quote #9
"But for the next time, we are this much stronger, by the completed Circle and the Six Signs and the Gift of Gramarye. We are made stronger by your completed quest, Will Stanton, and closer to gaining the last victory, at the very end." (12.71)
Pass around the cake because it's time for a party. The Old Ones defeat the Dark, all thanks to Will. His savvy ability as Sign-Seeker gives the team so much more power than they've ever had before.
