You can live with Amaya as if you are married. You can enjoy every day of your lives together, just as you would. But do not make it official. Do not make it a symbol. / I’m done putting off the good in fear of the bad. It’s time to set our wedding.

me: but at least we know how star, deep, and dark magic can interact with each other because of the “soren breath” and “weapon of vengeance” spells
my brain: but how do you know, with its inclusion of star magic period, that it wasn’t just a deep magic distorted into dark magic?

After all, it was not the humans’ choice to have been born without magic.

sometimes your baby girl is a beautiful woman who committed treason / war crimes with a trash (not) husband and that’s okay
thinking about the post-dragon demise dynamic of Amaya, Janai, and Miyana.
Janai and Miyana, who are Technically sisters-in-law but there was no marriage and Karim is both what brings them together and a wedge apart. Janai mourns in her own way, as does Miyana but she’s more bitter about it, and knows her children will be looked at with even more mistrust. Janai throws herself into rebuilding and revamping Lux Aurea now that it’s been so thoroughly destroyed it’s come back around to being cleansed…
But Miyana is lonely, and Miyana is pregnant, and Amaya was there through both of Sarai’s pregnancies and does not have the same complicated history with Karim and loved her first nephews so… Amaya stepping into hold Miyana through the morning sickness, to get Janai and Miyana to a point where they can feel more comfortable around one another, and feel like family
Just… three very different women with very different perspectives learning to grow and foster love with one another amid the loss and pain and hope they’ve been given
Again deserves a meta of its own but something about Callum assigning himself a part in / a general prophecy to himself not once but Twice only for it to not be About him, actually, is funnier and more tragic to me than it should be. It’s such a reminder as to why to reject anything arrogance adjacent (why assume that you’re the saviour / special one) in addition to setting up for a couple of interesting avenues: either a prophecy that is 100% about Callum but he rejects it OR he’s the centre of another prophecy and fulfils it (to good ends).
thinking about how every elf callum meets from now on, each being that gives him a quick once over, will immediately identify him as a dark mage regardless of how true or Not true it is
Arrogant, adj. having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one’s own importance or abilities.

King of what? King of ashes?
I don’t want to be that kind of king.
