How old is zeddicus

Richard Cypher : What? Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander : I see the way you're looking at her. Richard Cypher : [scoffs] I don't know what you're talking about. Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander : You think because I'm old I don't remember what it's like to get my britches in a bunch over a beautiful woman? Richard Cypher : My britches aren't in a bunch. Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander : Bunched britches, lurching loins, hot haunches It can never be. Not with her. The First Wizard was successful in casting a light spell on Ann's journey book, as well as casting itching spells on her.

In fact Emperor Jagang of the Imperial Order, himself, had nearly reached the Palace and would soon have his hands on the priceless books of prophecy stored there.

This turned out to be Ann's reasons for capturing Zedd; she needed him to create a light web, as only he could create one strong enough, within the vaults of the Palace and ignite it, so as to destroy the Palace of the Prophets, preventing Jagang from having the prophetic books.

Jagang, it was revealed, was a dream walker , intent on destroying magic. Though Zedd was at first reluctant to destroy what he realized to be a remarkable spell that slowed the aging of those within the Palace, he soon realized he had no choice. He set the light web, but found he was unable to ignite it.

Ann and Zedd quickly left the Palace, hoping that a Sister of the Dark would accidentally set off the dangerous spell. When they were safely away, the Palace exploded, though at the hands of Richard himself, not a Sister of the Dark.

Ann and Zedd then tried to find Nathan, who had been waiting safely clear of the Palace for them. However, Nathan had somehow linked his Rada'Han to the bifurcated web around the Palace so that when it was destroyed, his Rada'Han was blown off of his neck. Ann and Zedd then set off to find him. Ann and Zedd arrived at a less than reputable looking inn, known as Jester's Inn. At the end of the name there was a pair of woman's legs pointing up in the shape of a V.

However, both Ann and Zedd had sensed the magic tracer, Zedd had placed on Nathan and it led them there. Zedd felt that something was wrong, but Ann thought that Nathan was probably at the inn for female companionship, after all he had been locked up for close to a thousand years.

Zedd then informed Ann that he was beginning to believe that Nathan had influenced prophecy so as to lead to the day where he would be free of his Rada'Han. They also talked about the possible meaning of the strange red moon in the nights sky.

An unusually powerful sorceress though she might be, Ann knew she would be unable to force a Rada'Han back on a wizard of Nathan's skills. Therefore it was up to Zedd to do it.

The plan was for him to go into the inn, find Nathan's room and surprise him. Should he get past Zedd, he had placed a light web, that would kill Nathan twenty heart beats after he had walked through it, unless he had a Rada'Han on his neck.

Ann waited outside for Zedd to return with Nathan. However, instead of Nathan running out the door, a stranger named William was attempting to flee, with Sister Roslyn bounding after him. Roslyn soon realized that she and William had been caught up in a light web and attempted to use Subtractive Magic to undo it.

Ann ran for her life and was just out of harm's way when the light web ignited, its power enhanced by the Subtractive Magic employed by Roslyn.. Ann entered the room she had thought had been hired out by Nathan to find an injured Zedd on the floor. He told her that Nathan had somehow placed the tracer magic on William and given him a message for the two of them, however he had been forced to destroy it to deprive, the now deceased Sister Roslyn of it.

Using his skills as the First Wizard however, he was able to restore the message. It told them that they must find the Jocopo treasure. Neither Ann nor Zedd had any ideas what this was, but Ann insisted that Zedd would have to remain collared for now and help her find it.

Zedd reached up and removed his Rada'Han. It turned out he had known since the second day she had held him captive how to take it off, but had gone along with her because he knew she was doing it for the good of all. Ann later wrote to Verna through the journey book, asking whether she had ever heard of the Jocopo treasure. Verna said that on her journey through the Midlands , she had only ever heard of one reference to the Jocopo.

Apparently they were a now-extinct tribe of the wilds. Ann and Zedd traveled deep into the wilds, searching for the remnants of the Jocopo. While searching, Zedd decided to use his wizard's rock to find help from the spirit world. While he was doing this, Ann cast sensing webs, to detect if anyone was about. As she did so, she suddenly lost contact with her Han.

Zedd's attempts to make contact with the spirit world also failed. Zedd realized that it was likely a people of the wilds known as the Nangtong causing this. The Nangtong possessed the ability to leech the strength of other people's magic. Having skirted their lands by a wide margin, Zedd believed it to be one of their spirit parties, come to find a sacrifice to give to the spirits. Ann and Zedd quickly tried to escape, but were later captured by the Nangtong. They were taken to the Nangtong hunting party's village and placed in a pen with pigs.

They soon realized that they were to be sacrificed to the spirits, as the Nangtong believed, due to the red moon, that they were angry. Ann made a comment about "mucking about with a crazy man", [1] which gave Zedd an idea. He knew that without their magic they could not escape the Nangtong, but if they convinced them that they were crazy, they might be less willing to sacrifice them to their respected spirits.

Ann was at first both dubious and reluctant to try acting like a lunatic, but after some encouraging from Zedd, she finally gave in. Ann and Zedd were soon taken from their pen and traded to another people, the Si Doak. The Si Doak forced Ann and Zedd into slavery, having put magic wristbands on them that prevented their escape, but soon decided that Ann was unsatisfactory in some way and decided to sell them to cannibals.

These cannibals were none other than the Mud People , whose spokesperson, Chandalen , knew Zedd and freed the captured wizard and sorceress. Ann and Zedd then discovered a large number of prophecies at the Jocopo treasure and burnt them to prevent Jagang, whose army was to the west, from getting his hands on them. During this, their magic wristbands lost their power and fell off. After arriving back at the Mud People's village, Ann and Zedd were soon met by Richard, Kahlan Amnell and their Mord-Sith guard Cara , who had all been under the impression that the two were dead.

Zedd and Ann were then told of Richard and Kahlan's own troubles, with the Temple of the Winds and the plague started by Sister Amelia. When Ann and Zedd heard of how Kahlan was forced to call on the aid of the chimes to keep Richard from dying of the plague which he had taken on himself in order to save everyone else, they were both deeply disturbed by this.

However, they decide to reserve their worries for the following day and were witness to the wedding of Richard and Kahlan, as well as Shota 's short appearance after the ceremony. The day after their wedding, Richard and Kahlan would go and spend the day at a hot spring. However, one of their guards, a Mud Person known as Juni , mysteriously died.

The Mud People's healer, Nissel , told them that he had died at the hands of evil spirits. They then decided to go and see Zedd and Ann and have them examine the body with their gift. When they reached Zedd and Ann's cabin, they found symbols written in blood on the floor and walls. Zedd and Ann then decided to explain what a Grace , an important magical symbol, is to Richard. He was at first cautious and wonders why Ann and her Sister's didn't teach him about the Grace when he was at the Palace of the Prophets.

Ann said it was simply because they were taking precautions with him, due to the fact he possessed Subtractive Magic. Richard then asked what a Fatal Grace was; both Ann and Zedd were perplexed as to what this meant.

Richard also asked Ann, who had spent her life in the Old World and had most knowledge of Emperor Jagang, if he was able to take over the mind of animals as well as humans. Both Ann and Zedd agreed that he was unable to do this. Remembering the business with the chimes earlier, Richard asked Zedd and Ann if they were able to take care of them. They tell him that they had come to the conclusion that there was nothing to take care of, as the chimes were a work of three.

Among many other safeguards, Kahlan would need to be Richard's third wife for the chimes to be in the world of the living. Ann and Zedd then explain to Richard and Kahlan what the chimes are. The chimes were soulless creatures from the underworld, whose presence in the world of life would absorb magic. During the discussion about the chimes and the impact they could have on the world, they heard the wail of a child. As one everyone left the room and ran out into the rain. They found a mother and her child, who had been hurt by a chicken.

Richard became convinced that something was wrong with one of the chickens in the Mud People's village. While out in the rain, Zedd and Ann decided to go and examine Juni's body. Zedd and Ann discovered that Juni's neck had not been broken as some had suspected and that he had probably drowned. Nissel then entered with a dead baby, born stillborn. Richard then told Zedd, Ann, Kahlan and Cara that he was beginning to think that one of the Mud People's chickens was possessed by something.

Richard had the Mud People round up all of their chickens. As he had this done, Ann and Kahlan had a talk. Ann asked that Kahlan please try to understand that though they might not understand what Richard was doing, he was the Seeker and they must have faith.

They were then witness to Richard snuffing out a fire, still burning during the rain. He said a single word, Sentrosi, the chime of fire. Later when Kahlan was attacked by a chicken that addressed her as "Mother", Ann and Zedd inspected the arrow used to subdue the creature. Kahlan and Richard argued that the chimes were indeed unleashed upon the world, but Ann and Zedd told them that the creature was a Lurk, created by the Sisters of the Dark on behalf of Jagang.

They entered their room to find them lying head to toe, asleep. They opened their eyes and informed them that casting the webs to discover what the Lurk was had cost them their strength and now the runaway degeneration of magic caused by the Lurk was sapping them and soon everybody else of magic. Ann and Zedd told Richard, Kahlan and Cara to go to the Wizard's Keep and stay there, as it is there they would be safe. They told Richard to go to the First Wizard's private enclave and break a bottle there with the Sword of Truth.

They left immediately, though not through the sliph as its magic was contaminated also. After Richard, Kahlan, and Cara had left, Ann and Zedd woke back up and it was revealed they had been lying. They were not ill, but their magic was being drained by something: the chimes. Somehow they were present in the world of life. They sent Richard to the Wizard's Keep as that was where the chimes had been released, so they could not return and reclaim his soul, on behalf of which Kahlan had called them forth.

Zedd and Ann then parted ways, Zedd to see if he could banish the chimes and Ann to release the Sisters of the Light who had been captured by Jagang. Now that Jagang could no longer enter their minds, she hoped she would be able to free them without his knowledge. Zedd proceeded to travel to the land of Anderith and with the help of Franca Gowenlock , tracked the lair of the chimes to the Ovens. There, he offered his own soul to them, in place of Richard's.

Though he expected to die, having his soul claimed by the chimes served only to cause him to become disembodied; allowing him to be the first wizard in history to inhabit the body of an animal.

Unfortunately, offering his soul did not banish the chimes as he had hoped. Zedd's spirit took control of a raven, and in this form, tried to help Richard learn what he had; that the chimes could be defeated at the Oven's. He also attempted to save Franca Gowenlock from Serin Rajak and his extemeists, though unsuccessfully.

Ultimately, Richard learnt how to defeat the chimes, freeing Zedd's soul and restoring magic. Once free, Zedd observed Anderith's occupation under the Imperial Order.

Salindra : Hmm? Salindra : Sorry, [scoffs] Salindra : you remind me too much of my grandfather. User reviews 2 Review. Top review. Wizard of the first order. Zedd eats a poisoned fruit and forgets all about the team, running away and leaving Richard and the others behind.

It is all the fault of the witch Shota, who wants to find a new Seeker to fight against the Keeper. But things don't go as she intended and a young Zedd runs amok wreaking havoc and believing he is unstoppable. Richard will have to stop him from making a horrible mistake. This episode of the "Legend of the Seeker" starts a little bit slow and seems to be just filling time, but when Zedd becomes young again and runs away from Shota it becomes quite interesting and funny.

It is a failure of the show, though, that it keeps making similar situations happen so close one to the other: Richard is confessed and changes behaviour, Zedd is poisoned and changes behaviour It is probably the weakest in the plot department of all the episodes of this second season, but it still has lots of funny moments and the acting is a step up from the last episodes.
