That’s true but are we even sure that a new one was chosen? The DC hit not too long after. Unless it’s like “Avatar” and a new one is chosen instantly.
Someone had to write those last few pages, though. The book ends right when the curse hits, but the Peddler was already imprisoned by that point. Though that could have easily just been the Apprentice taking over. Not to mention, August just happened to choose being a writer as his career choice, and we still don’t know how he knew Neal was Baelfire.
That’s true. So did the Sorcerer send August the quill? And when would August have done this? He went through before the Curse hit and Snow found the book in her closet before even Emma arrived in SB, complete with the final part of the story of Baby! Emma.
