I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I believe Serena's choice does not lie in moon goddess, earthling, dark goddess, or w/e you call it. Her choice is simply- light or dark. Keys are meant to be turned, not to just be put in the dang lock. Now...that's not to say she'll be like all powerful evil, I think of her as darkness with limitations. I believe this dark goddess title means exactly what it says- that there must be light for there to be darkness. Serena lives her life as the grey inbetween. But keys are meant to be turned.
and she became one of Heckate's mysitcae or w/e between the books I believe, but while she wasn't busy with that, I would think that her and Stanton were. quite busy.

I sent a letter to her and sent it off this week. A couple of years ago I was talking to her about my book because inspired by her and she encouraged me to keep writing it. and then when I wrote her again to tell her about how my characters where progressing she sent a letter back saying that she was done with Sons of the Dark 1 and 2 and talked about how her characters where changing also (This kind of explains why Brian's name was changed to Samuel) then latter that year threw a friend of hers I was able to get a signed copy of Goddess of the Night. Then my life got really crazy between problems at school and problems in my personal life I didnt write her back to say thank you. This was when I was in eighth grade and I'am now going to tenth. So I havent written her in a year and a half and this week was the first time I had. When I heard how much she loved getting letters to keep her spirit up because her family members where sick I felt like such an "A" hole, I felt like I was being so selfish to a lady who had took the time out to write me twice and send me a signed copy of her book and I couldnt even send her a simply thank you letter?
The point of this whole thing is that I feel like a complete JERK. She is my faverite writer and I was in a way taking advantage of her kidness while she was going through hard times.

*pats KOS* I'm sure she'll appreciate the thought of you sending her a letter and so won't mind you not writing earlier so I'm sure you should have no worries of feeling like a jerk

Dark isn't necesarily bad. Hecate, the goddess of the dark side of the moon (one of her many titles), does not make her evil. In ancient times, people worshipped Hecate for protection and all sorts of other things. But then her name started to become twisted and people interpretted her as evil simply because of her darkness. The moon is never full and bright, and it is the dark side that we all should look at. Because the dark side of the moon is the ultimate truth because the moon does not have it's own light. It's light reflects from the sun, therefore, it's not the complete truth. But in dark, at least you know it's the moon's own darkness. I hope that made sense to you all.

In book 8, though Serena was talking about the powers always having to be in balance and she finally understood that from Hecate's position. So she can't choose or else the powers would be unbalanced. That's why she's going to join Hecate who is kind of neutral.

but her destiny as the key is to wipe out darkness which means if she becomes the dark goddess she fails her duty as the key, i agree with LJR the key has to be turned at some point, good or evil doesn't really matter as long as it's turned

It never said her destiny as the key was to wipe out darkness. Becoming the Dark goddess is becoming almost neutral.

yeh it never said it was her destiny... maggie said serena was the key and that the atrox wanted her to sway the balance to evil, but serena knows that the balance has to be maintained... so she will never wipe out darkness completely... so i think maybe she will be a DG because its neutral like VanessaRox said...

read book 1 maggie says the key is destined to wipe out darkness and since serena is the key that would be her destiny although she doesn't have to choose to do it

Dark isn't necessarily bad. so Light isn't necessarily good, ND? Your point made sense- but the only reason it made sense is that for there to be Light there must be Darkness. Evil and Darkness are two different things- they intertwine at times but that does not mean they necessarily go hand in hand. However- Light is not necessarily good. I see Light as the truth. Darkness can also portray the truth, but one must consider how powerful both these forces are.
Now as to this whole Serena takes the middle road thing- she does. You can't say that because that is what she stands for that she will simply not 'turn the key' however- if you look at it this way- you can think of the outcome two different ways, and the later of which I will present is what you who favor her not choosing is the only way that can happen.
You can think of the her whole destiny as one door. Turn it one way it locks, one way it opens. Locking, I suppose, would mean keeping the Light at bay, or simply locking it away, i.e. not letting it out. Opening it could result in the flood of good in, and therefore lead to the destruction of the Atrox.
The second way you could think of the key is that there are two doors- one to good and one to evil, for lack of a better terminology. Opening the door to the light results in the Atrox's defeat. Opening the other door results in the Atrox's victory and the destruction of centuries of work. However- if you like this 'grey' path, there could be a third door, in this case. but then what would happen when she opened it?
Serena may in her heart believe in the grey, but she also has to realize her destiny.

the only flaw i see in that is if serena stays good so to speak it wouldn't defeat or destroy the Atrox, it would either weaken it or leave it as it was before the daughters were captured

well....that's the thing. The Key is supposed to weaken it. The Heir of the Scroll is supposed to destroy it. which according to SotD four......*dot dot dotting insues*

Then why did you post all that stuff about the key defeating the Atrox? Wouldn't the Atrox just stay in it's current state? I think Serena does something that results in Stantons death and she makes her choice based on that.
