Queste 9/29/11

Since I've read last time I have lots of questions. What does the Thing look like? They call it the Thing but don't really tell you what it looks like. It probably looks like a Zombie or something. It's also evil because it works for Merrin who is evil. I also want to know why the Witch Mother would want to have Snorri's Transforming Cat. The witch mother can see every thing in the forest so why not just find a Cat? I also want to know what a Foryx looks like? Does it look like some Demon or just a Fox? They talk about one in the first book and it kind of is always there as the books move on. I think it would look like a black fox that hunts in packs. Are the Queste guards ghost or real people? They had the same ones from over 558 Extra Ordinary Wizards ago.There is only one Extra Ordinary Wizard at a time soooo. Also Turen Fume was friends with Hopea-Raa the First Extra Ordinary Wizard. The older ghosts are more faded, so he must be very hard to see.
