Kindle Notes & Highlights
I was once known as Typhon, first heir to the water throne and ruler of the tides.
OH SHIIIT
You wish to save him for mating purposes. Very well. Get on my back.” I stare. Mating purposes?
CAUGHT IN 4k
I can’t help the surge of relief I feel at seeing him. Bastian. Always showing up when I need him most,
Am i crazy to say i STILL SAY i dont trust him, but he is growing on me
His answer comes into my mind. “I am Typhon, first of his name. Tamer of oceans. Tidefather. Do you think I fear being known by fragile creatures made of meat and bone? Hah!”
LMAO, visually reminds me of Terracona from the Frifth Chronicals bc he was a god creature. BUT 10000% personality from Tarin in fourth wing
“He is welcome,” Typhon says. “I approve if you wish to mount him, angry human. He is a strong mate, and he shows an acceptable level of respect toward me.”
Pffffffft
I thought you were… something else. When you drew my power in, I was almost sure of it. But it makes more sense now.
o.o
“What did you think I was?” “Not important. But what you are… does anyone else know?”
Itll be nice to learn more
“I am Typhon. Known and feared among my kind as ancient, wise, and powerful.” “Something like that,” I say in answer to Raith’s question.
LMAO
I advise you all to set aside any grudges or ill-feelings you may harbor from your first two months here on campus.”
TWO MONTHS?!???
“Oh. You can do that?” “The things I can do would make your fragile meat brain explode with wonder.” “Right. Well, thank you.”
I love him so much
a glimpse of Rector Voss watching our table, his expression unreadable. As our eyes meet, he gives me a slight nod, his lips curving into a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.
Sussy af
“Your channeling has a unique signature. Almost as if...” He trails off, then straightens. “The Rector mentioned… well, never mind. Just report to his office tomorrow at sunset. And don’t be late for once.”
Foooooooook
the existence of unbound as an existential threat. Worse, unbound can also tether people somehow, just like primals tether elementals.
Whut
“People and elementals aren’t so different, you know…”
He IS the bad old dude from the book!!!!!!!!
When they saw what he was capable of, they lashed out.
Or one of his followers??!
“Because the proven bloodlines were destroyed, yes. But the nature of affinity is a natural thing.
I love The last air bender/legend of Korra parallels
If you haven’t gathered as much already, I am extending a formal offer to mentor you,” Voss says, his voice somehow closer though he hasn’t moved.
I squint in distrust
Be careful who you trust with your secrets, Nessa.” “Including you?” I challenge. His smile is almost sad. “Especially me.”
Interesting, i like him more now
I sense conflict in him—divided loyalties, perhaps.” I slow my pace, curiosity overriding my irritation. “What do you mean?”
Im catching them fourth wing vibes here
It’s open approval. The feeling is addictive, especially when I spent the last three years before coming to Confluence learning that absolutely nothing I ever did could win back the approval of my mother and sister.
Understandable But dont let that blind u
“They’ll look and sound like normal people. In most ways, they are. But they’re almost like… anti-primals.
Uhoh
I feel a blend of elements suddenly bend toward me like metal shavings to a magnet. The ache in my stomach from where Titus kicked me turns warm, then the pain eases slightly. Power flares.
Wut
As much as I try to push it away, part of me wonders if Raith himself could be the danger he’s warning me about.
He has fire nation post-redemption prince zuko written ALL OVER HIM. and if fourth wing taught me anything this academy is supported by the bad guys. Specially if this is how they create/vet their future troops
He does know things he shouldn’t. And he seems adamant that I need to keep my distance from him to stay safe.
He also said u were the distraction and/or complication sooo.....
she has good judgment.” “How do you figure that?” Beck asks. “Because she hasn’t ever slept with you.” Beck places a hand over his heart in mock outrage. “How dare you.”
Pfffft
And somewhere on campus, a siphon hunts, perhaps for me specifically.
D:
As I round the corner, I nearly collide with a tall figure in a black robe. “Nessa,” Bastian says, surprise clear in his voice.
NO WAIT. IS IT HIM????????
You want my advice? Learn your place. Embrace it. Because if you refuse to be wielded, they’ll just break you instead.”
Nvm definitely not him but he is on my positive character list
“I need you with me, Typhon. What if somebody looks at me wrong? Who will threaten to eat them?” “Hmmm... Perhaps you speak truth.”
Pfffffft
I don’t think Bastian has any particular feelings for me. If anything, he’s just another person who is trying to decide how he can best use my abilities.
This is what ive been thinking
All I know is they don’t involve me being dead, which lets me trust him to an extent.
Im glad ur takiing time putting this together. I was getting worried
I hear muffled voices inside and nod. The girls push open the doors and I follow them inside.
nope X DONT TRUST X
It would be my fault that they’d come after you. Hurt you because of me. And I won’t have that.”
Is he a prince?
“The healing is a good thing, Nessa. It’s incredible.” There’s a kind of sadness in his eyes I can’t figure out as he speaks.
Damn i smell heartbreak before understanding
Pyrin agrees that you two are making an elaborate dance out of what could be done in a few simple thrusts.”
Im ded
And if it is a disaster, the Council will simply use it as an opportunity to remove Rector Voss ahead of schedule.”
Oooooo interesting
There are, of course, outlying islands, but dangerous rogue elementals make traveling that far across the oceans too risky for any but the most desperate to make the journey.
Maybe we will see these other islands in other books
“Come closer.” Of course he won’t tell me. Frowning, I approach him.
Nope, if D&D has taught me anything is that is a mimic
“How well who has trained me…” I ask slowly, mind putting the pieces together, terrifying piece after terrifying piece.
Gurl you got this
There’s nothing visibly different about him, yet the siphon recoils as if struck.
Duuude
“Why...” the siphon gasps, its voice strained. “Tell your master that Confluence remains protected,” Voss says pleasantly.
WUUUUUUT
“There must be something we can do,” I say, desperation making my voice crack.
U gotta do what u did for typhon
“Your Highness,” they murmur as I pass, bowing slightly.
I figured as much
But even as the words leave my mouth, I wonder… Could those have been Raith’s memories?
This is more likely
The password is fish slap,” Bastian says smoothly.
This is amazing. I want to hear more funny words from this overly proper man's mouth
“Raith. You can’t threaten my friends.” “I already did.” “I like him,” Typhon rumbles in my mind. “Not now, Typhon.”
Lmao
It’s my sister’s voice, warped into something no human throat should produce. A sound of pure terror and agony that rips my heart into shreds.
Nightmare T^T
Or he could know the effects of void magic exposure? What if the only way Raith could’ve survived was with some kind of healing magic?”
He said to say ur goodbyes.....he knows he SHOULDNT survive
“They say he fish-slapped Voss and got you both thrown off the highest tower.
Pffffft
“He means he sweet-talked the library assistant. Apparently, she has a thing for guys who can quote tactical theory from memory.”
Pffft
