OK, so Kellhus survived, right? Or have I just completely messed up reading that part?
That whole italicized section right after Kellhus sees Esmenet -- what was it? It seems to describe a chorae being thrown at Kellhus and got a glancing hit -- by whom? Esmenet? Then it seems to describe his death after being killed by a knife thrown by the Narindar. I would have called the whole section one outcome of the probability trance, except the writing seems to betray no sense that this is from Kellhus' perspective.
Then later we switch to regular font, so I guess this is "for real." Now there's no chorae. No thrown knife either. In fact, the text says "The Narindar shook his head, stared down aghast at his hands. His ears wept blood." Does this mean he couldn't even find a knife to throw? And what does it mean to say "his ears wept blood?" Finally, the text says Kellhus "striding out toward the Circumfix Throne," then a huge stone fell, "crashing upon the very spot where Father had stood." "Had stood," past perfect tense, instead of just "stood," which means our most holy Aspect-Emperor has not been reduced to tomato paste, right?
