Hi,

I started rereading and there was a chapter where Angela says Vampires and Humans can't reproduce with each other, but since Lark has red eyes and Chepesh looks like he is connected together in some way. What if Chepesh somehow was able to mate with a human and Lark is like the descendent or son or something like that of Chepesh? I think this would make sense in alot of ways perhaps, since Angela said that humans can't have red eyes but Lark does. Thus Lark may be related to Chepesh since no one knows what he did after the other Vampires left Chepesh behind in the Human world. What are people's thoughts on this?

[svines85]

yup. it's been a mysterious contradiction since the very start.......humans can't have red eyes but Lark has them and  is every bit a human as far as anybody and everybody are concerned. 

 

I'd guess more along the lines that Chepish found some way to extend his life/soul/influence through means other than actual procreation with a human.............oceana likened it to being "sealed" inside Lark, and personally I find that a pretty plausible theory that would explain a connection and not run afoul of the established "facts" of the story. 

 

I'm just gonna throw out some theory's...

- Lark is the reincarnation of Chepesh (and that can explain their a likeness if that is the case.)

- Chepesh was sealed inside of Lark, an innocent human boy, and would give more plot as to why Carmilla is in his dreams to try to make sure that Lark doesn't fall to the influence of Chepesh (in this case if that we're true then she kinda failed lol)

@svines85 I like your theories, that's honestly the way I would go , Angela says humans can't have red eyes cause of some contract they've had with humans since the beginning of time, or it could be something like this

1. Something big is about to happen in the Crepuscule world, so certain people are being born for this reason. A human was needed and Lark who lives extremely close to the portal was chosen as one of these people. Setz was born too early and had to wait in his mother's stomach, Mutants like Neal, Carne, and Sia are all born in this time. Bathory's life is extended; the world itself is assembling these people which is why Lark has red eyes, his role is to have some connection with it's creator Karmella, and Chepesh.
2. Lark is a new(or old depending on how you look at Angela's comments) breed of human and is able to allow spirits of other creatures to inhabit him, as a genetic trait. Ghost genetic trait is turnin into fog, Succubus is ageless plus magic, Zombie is forever healing-no pain, Werewovles is transforming into some form of animial, Vampires is having a strange otherworldly power(ability). The reason so many have abilities is because there vamp blood is so strong, those that have abilies don't have these natural genetic traits and vice versa.
3. What I find least likely, Lark is the holder of this time old contract between vampires and humans. Angela mentioned that there is some kind of contract. Since their may have been redeyed humans before him, you might say that they are holders of the contract being passed down. It explain why Lark, as if by destiny, is by chance found by Setz a young of the not too many purebloods who was born 500 yrs late, the only human in exsistance w/red eyes just so happening to live near a portal happens to be outside the night Setz visits the human world. As such his destiny is closely linked with all things concerning the Vamp and Human relationships; with the Crepscule world crumbling, Vamps are about to be near humans so Lark is drawn towards the center of the action

According to chapter 97, Lark does not look like Chepesh, but in the dream he does. It is interesting how the leaders of the two factions have both met with Lark (Cepesh and Karmilla) I wonder what Lark's relation to them is. Also, I believe when Karmilla first appears in his dreams he said that he had seem her before.... I cannot wait for the next chapter.

[svines85]

Yeah, he did say he'd seen her before...........I personally have always chalked that up to his seeing a portrait of her in the "mansion" (I guess to call it something) that was the portal between the worlds that Setz took him through to reach Crepuscule.  You can see the two of them pass the portrait at the very beginning of chapter 3............though yeah, it might have more significance than that, I guess we just don't know that for sure yet though.

[oceana]

Okay, just want to make this point across for everyone to see... Lark is 100% human according to what was stated in the beginning chapters...

 

Lark's father died in a carriage accident two months before Lark was born, and then Lark's mother died of a seizure several weeks after his birth.

 

Not only that, but he is completely immune to the weaknesses of vampires such as, sunlight, silver, flowing sacred water, and garlic. Also, all of the first generation vampires have recognized his scent as one of a human.

 

These facts cross out any theories that have to with Lark being related to Chepesh by blood whatsoever.

[ShinyUmbreon]

I've noticed that the author likes to put hints to lead up to things in other chapters. Nergal is shown in fox form playing with Lark, but it is not known until later that the fox was Nergal. The picture in CHapter 3 also hints to Larks dreams later on. I may try to find more hints in previous chapters. 

Who else thought Lark's ability was Light? It could've been slightly infered from the original prologue. (Kinda)

[svines85]

you mean from this?

[ShinyUmbreon]

Yeah. To me it looks like the first few pages have an emphasis on the destruction of crepuscule and the light background.

[svines85]

Could be, I see what you mean. It definitely seems to foreshadow some pretty major destruction, yeah. 

[oceana]

Oh I'd say - this author definitely likes to foreshadow, and mass destruction is what you plainly be seen whether it be the world of Crepuscule or just the school itself.

[ShinyUmbreon]

The author seems to be having every close-to-Lark character realizing that there is something wrong with Lark. SIa Kul is about to/has just realized it. The only char yet to realize it is Bathory and Nergal, but they are out of the academy, figuring out about Angela's death. It seems that either Bathory or Seere's ability will help them figure out what is wrong with Lark. Seere seems to have the ability to see a red shadow/ aura around Lark.

[Crisonia]

But what about the connection between Lark and Angela. Because Angela is the spiting image of Larks mother, so maybe Chepesh+Angela was Lark, then again it doesn't seem as if it's something like that. :/

[jfforums]

Who else thought Lark's ability was Light?

Light is Chepesh's ability, Lark as a (probably) human should not have any ability, so when he chose to be possesed by Chepesh, he inherited his ability... Anyway its just a hairsplitting from my side, i realy enjoy how this plot thicken...

[ShinyUmbreon]

Same here. The author has been experimenting with different plot elements since the beginning of the second season. We have gotten mourning/tragedy in the past ten or so chapters that has given a new outlook on a lot of the characters. The story has also added a lot more mysteries. It is probably because the author is getting better at story writing. If only the chapters were a little longer, but my only true comparison is ToG, which in webcomic standards has really long chapters.

Lark's mother in the current series does not look like Angela though.

[Crisonia]

Weird

[Namorax]

I also remember Lark's mother having red eyes, meaning its possible that she was the same as Lark.

Nope, was wrong. But for some reason I still think that his mothr had red eyes. Maybe it was the other version of Crepuscule?

 

If I remember correctly some of the Vampire choose to stay in the human world, so chances are that Lark really is the descendant of a vampire.

We know that the barrier created by Camilla influences the not-humans inside it, maybe it also interfered with the vampires living outside? It would be one possible explanation why Lark has no vampire abilities whatsoever. Maybe its not just Lark but every single vampire still living outside the barrier.

 

More Speculation:

Spoiler

If the author wants to go cliché, then Lark will become the descendant/child of Tepes AND Carmilla. In any case, I think its a save bet to say that Tepes is related to Lark either indirectly (his spirit channeling his power through the human Lark) or directly via bloodline.

[knightsavant]

Aren't facts only facts until they're proven wrong? I believe it's too early still to call whether  he is a vampire hybrid or a sealed human, or anything like that. All we know is that he's somehow been in contact with everyone who controls the barrier, if not what's inside it. I also think Namorax's idea is pretty cool, we haven't established what happened to those vampires left outside yet have we?
