Orias, the Feather spirit—the divine being associated with calmness and clarity.
That river does not give back. “We’ll see about that,” he muttered to no one.

“You found me.”
me: SAY IT, SAY IT heheh
“Nowhere you could go,” he reminded her.
crying, screaming and throwing up
A blur of wings and antennae wrapped in a pale green glow barreled its way between him and the goddess, throwing the goddess off balance and knocking her backward. Velia.
yes babyyyyy
“You’re too late.”
stfu nahhhh
“I had been so afraid that we broke the world,” she said, quietly, “but I had a feeling you and I would be able to put things back together, too. I’m still not sure which—” “Both,”
“For that is the true, dual nature of love, isn’t it?” she said. “A terrible, wonderful force. Nothing can break things so completely. Nothing can heal things so fully. And Solatis and her magic have a duality about them as well—life itself is both a beautiful and a terrible thing.”
“It will mean a corrupted, unpredictable form of their original magic, won’t it?”
source of Malaphar’s power and weaken him to the point that we can finish him off with a calculated attack.”
“I can see the palace overrun with children, actually,” she told him. “And dogs and music and messes, and all of the good kinds of chaos we can find. The celebrations and casual gatherings, alike; the endless chatter and laughter.”
“And then you, old and grey—” “But still handsome.” “Obviously.” “And you will be as stunning as ever, too.” “We must remain equals, yes.”
I love when we get to see the OG elander x casia shine through. I miss their playfulness
The first slice cut part of the man’s right arm cleanly from his body,

severing the rest of the limbs from the man’s body before lopping his head cleanly from his neck.
JFC DUDE CHILLLL
Soryn’s eyes narrowed more completely on Cas. They stayed there for several moments past the point of comfortable, searing and bright, and in her paralyzed state,
I actually don't understand why Soryn and Alaya don't trust Cas anymore? I'm sure SMG said why but I don't remember lmao. Like how did the news spread about the Anateum points i'm lost
shaking snow from the collar of his coat, disgust written all over his face.
me asf lmao.
“The locals now call it Lake Haven,” he said, “but the elves have a different name for it—Ulondar.
Water that was tainted with the lingering energies of the expelled magic.” Elander looked back to the lake. It wasn’t hard to
that river—Mirdor—has a mind of its own they say, and a goal of keeping out anyone who might bring ill things into Mistwilde.”
Ulondar’s waters; spells you can create that will help you counter the tricks and treacheries of the rivers that flow from it.”
“More farfetched than Casia traveling back in time? Or us walking alongside gods? Doing battle with them?”
lmao honestly
“I want to see it while you come for me.”
sir yes sir
Why can’t we have snow when it’s warm?
me asf
“Revenants.”
excuse me FBAA is that you babe?
lifting her sword, its blade gleaming with turquoise light. Indre’s Grace—otherwise known as Shieldmaker.
queen and Cas in a barrier that rippled like a sky reflected upon a stormy sea.
Good I'm glad were not being petty anymore at least where our lives are concerned lmao
She had sensed more revenant magic—but subdued, as if it were deeply buried in a human host.
bitch you literally just said Malaphar is trying to trick you into using more of your magic and then you keep fking trying to do it like....babes...someone stage an intervention pls Cas is unhinged and dumb as hellll
other magic struck the revenant’s new host.
prob elander he better scold tf out her for being so reckless
blond-haired figure emerging from between the trunks, surrounded by living shadows that made his eyes seem brighter, almost glowing with their unsettling, reddish-golden gleam. Varen.
Damn I was wrong, y'all I have such high hope for his redemption, which is a big deal since i never feel that way about blonde ppl hahaha but I fear I may end up disappointed :'(
“Not because I wanted to.”
I believe him like the fool I am
she was reminded of one of his memories—a vision she’d seen in one of the many crystals he’d given her—of him standing in a tower, eyes watching the palace gates as he thought the same two words, muttering them over and over to himself. Come back.
I have tears in my eyes
And then she couldn’t see—not her brother, nor the things that haunted them, not even her own hands.
"Not the things that haunted them" painnnnnn
as if separated by a chasm that had suddenly split along the road.
ouch
“and save the ones you can.”
him saying this should change anyones mind that he can't be redeemed. I want it on record that what want his for him to live in the end but deep in my cold dead heart I know he's going to help save the world and also die
“I hadn’t thought about what might happen with Silver,” Cas quietly admitted.
why does it seem like Cas never actually talks to her friends or even elander? I know she's super busy but also like you're going to kill malaphar through the anateium points and you don't even think how this might affect your besties? including the one who literally uses magic to SEE. Like maybe we should get their opinions once in a while DAMN
“You would help us? Give us so much, despite Soryn’s wishes?”
hmm idk if I trust this
When it came to matters of divine magic, the empire she ruled over had as much to lose as Soryn’s kingdom did—if not more.

I swear I already explained this to you once…you truly don’t listen when anybody talks, do you?”
I'm literally Laurent
Cas stepped into the clear water before anyone could argue against it.
and she died doing what she loved...being an impulsive dumba*s...when Casia does shit like this I (unfortunately) get big Mare Barrow vibes and it pisses me off
She wasn’t going to test it.
ok I guess this is where we draw the line then *rolls eyes*
wild city tamed by precise and thoughtful hands.
“They have been through much,” Anwyn agreed. “So why would you turn her away now? She isn’t a book to be studied and mused over—this isn’t history, Uncle, it is the present, and it is happening now. Wouldn’t you prefer to make your mark upon it all before it becomes the tragic past?”
damn go off???? was not expecting this support (I have trauma from Sarith)
own battles to focus on.”
he said petty squabbles* wrong
She crept up behind him and slid her arms around his waist, sinking her face into the strong lines of his back, breathing in his earth and winter
this is adorable
“You carried me out of those waters, too. It seems to be a recurring theme with us.”
I didn't even realize this
