@drewccapp: This is a test of Anise's will. If she succeeds, she will have power over the Lantern. If she does not, she will become a murderous maniac. Not sure yet which might gain the wolf's favor.
@Red_massa: Simon can see everything that is happening everywhere, so pay attention to the whole post and decide what Simon's true goal is. The Lady of the Pond and the Lord of Shadows are amused with Simon right now and will help him achieve what he wants, at least for now.
@Keplo: The sword is the same one that Fyair took from Anise, but it's fighting with the dragon magic. It's up to you whether to accept the dragon magic or use the electric properties of the pirate's sword to fight it. Either way, you're gonna be changed for life after this.
@TheDarkTemplar: I'd just like to point out that the wolf is the mask of beasts -- with enough resolve you can summon and control all sorts of interesting and scary beasts that might be lurking in the forest, but they require a clear objective. Also don't forget the telekineses. And yes, Tyaelaem means to kill you, and he is lightning quick but weaponless.
Rhea can't see a damned thing. She gave her telekineses to Talan, so essentially she's vulnerable.
