Forum:Yonder lies the castle of my father

Zola this famous line in front of Castle Heterodyne. We now know that if Agatha had said it, there would be some truth.

But who is Zola really? Where are her parents? What castle could she really call her home?

If she were truly a child of Bill or Barry, then Barry would have mentioned it to Bettle or at least Punch and Judy. So thats out.

However there are twenty-seven months between the time our favorite minx sent Klaus off to who knows where and the time she gave birth to Bill's son. So she could have secretly had a child in the early part of that period. Or not.

But consider the implications. If Zola is a non-sparky offshoot of the liaison between Klaus and Lucrezia. Then she would be cousin to Theo; half-sister to both Gil and Agatha; And possibly a half sister to Zeetha if Zeetha turns out to be Gil's twin.

Now we know something of the future since time travel is mad science and happens in a Heterodyne story. So this hypothesis is unlikely (but not impossible) because there are no clues of it in canon or the glimpses we have seen into the future.

It is also unlikely because of the nature of great sparks to produce sparky offspring.

However as grist for speculation it will do nicely. After all, Zola has to come from somewhere interesting.

Now, what are your alternate theories? Rej Maddog 19:58, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
