oh so it ends LIKE THAT, HUH? 🤡🤠🤡🤠🤡🤠

spoiler // Umm so Eliel gave a poison disguised as medicine to Nathon to kill him. He already gave Nathon the antidote, so Nathon won’t die from it. BUTTTTTTTT Nathon gave that poisoned medicine to Hestan!!???!?!?!?! Boy if Hestan dies bc of Eliel ISTG…!.!!!!!.!.!.!.!.!!!.!!!.!!!!!!!!!!

“It’s good you survived, Captain,” Vasara’s King spoke.
Something hit me hard at the back of my skull. My ears rang, but I could still hear the King’s voice, soft and purposeful as he spoke.
“I’d like to test a theory.”

haha I’m scared 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Hestan I’m BEGGING you to keep hiding!!!! 😭😭😭😭 this man is crazy!!!! he’ll kill you on sight!!!!!

spoiler // “You’re dead,” I said, looking up at him. “He killed you.” (…)
“Yes,” Silus spat. “And I’m going to make sure you wish he never had.”

ehhhhh ??????

This is suuuuch a stupid idea. Yaseer and Ullna were right. Y’all can’t help every human who’s in distress. They’ll catch you and do much, much worse than they did before, and soon enough all the “free” sorcerers will be enslaved as well 🙁.

spoilers // Eliel binding Loria with a curse….. and he was the one who poisoned Dyna….. bruh 🧍🏻🧍🏻🧍🏻

I feel nothing about Loria and Eliel, I’m ngl

not the blood bending 🫢

Elias getting mad at Shadae bc she’s not speaking her mind,,,, like, hello???? OF COURSE she’s scared of saying what she’s thinking!!! Y’all literally enslaved her + you keep treating her like shit, even now that you 2 are allies!! Hello????? 🙄 Shadae is stronger than me for managing to deal with this cunt.

We had a sweet moment between Hestan and Nathon, and I’m afraid it could be the last nice(ish) scene in the book. I think shit’s about to start going downnn. 😵‍💫

“I wish for you to live, simply so I can see you in this.”

lmao 😭 but also 👀🏳️‍🌈

“Captain, I’ve been disappointed by the majority of people. I know you aren’t someone who is inclined to believe me, but I hope you will this once, when I tell you, that there is no future I can envisage where you will be added to that list.” —— 🤭

“But you should know that I trust you, Captain. Not with everything, but with a small amount.” He dropped his hand. “Which is far more than I usually offer.”

Nathon is comparing Hestan to the full moon… bro this is gay as fuck

“But beauty. No. Beauty was no fitting word for what he was. It felt too empty to describe him. Too shallow.”

pack it up, fruit!

“They’re eating the children now.” —— 👁️ _ 👁️ … 🧍🏻 pardon ?

“The King hasn’t been seen since you left.” — — well, shit 🫠

“Could hands that had been coated in blood touch another with reverence and softness? Could someone become a corpse or lover, under the same palms? Did he wear a smile when he killed? Was it the same as the one he’d worn pulling the pin from my hair? How would one sit upon his face, should it look upon someone he loved, I wondered… Pictures of him tending to my wounds flashed before my eyes.”

lgbt thoughts…

“My mother said she’s tried to arrange a marriage for you several times and you always refuse. Don’t you want a wife?” Dyna nudged me, urging me to glance in the women’s direction.
“No. I have no wish for a wife,” (…)
“You’re strange”

girl c’mon he’s … you know … 🏳️‍🌈😜

« He smiled widely, shaking his head in a resigned manner (…).
He tutted. “How disappointing.” He let out a small laugh. “I really, really… would like to have known what happened next.”
He made eye contact with the Healer, who without any reservation or hesitation, lifted his sword, and took Silus’ head off his body. »

baller last moments tbh. Silus was lowkey just vibing at this point lol

bro Nemina can’t catch a break 💀😭

“You act like kindness is the weakness.” He sounded mournful. “But the real weakness is hate. That’s a cheap thing for those afraid to pay.”“
Pay?” I looked straight ahead.
“Being kind costs,” he said quietly. “Empathy too. But there's a power in that. It’s a cost only the strong can endure…I think.”

Baz is better than me bc I’d be wanting to kill them all, too

“You are one of those people, Captain, I have reason to be grateful for, that I so rarely meet. It would be unfortunate… if we were to part ways… after only having just crossed paths.”

🫣

“Why are you here, Your Highness?”
He shrugged. “To thank you.”
I couldn’t help but shake my head. “You do not seem to be someone who is prone to gratitude.”
“That is because I have rarely met a person I had good reason to be thankful for,” he sounded pensive. “Or to.”

this quote’s gonna go especially hard once they’re canon, in like 2638369 pages from now

“Sorcerers continue to commit acts of violence and sabotage. They plot against us almost daily.”

my brother in christ, you hunt, enslave and torture them 😭😭😭 stfuuuu

I don’t want Elias and Shadae together. He’s an asshole to her (and all sorcerers). I hope that’s not where this is going.

BITCHHH omg Elias stfuuuuuu. Shadae is stronger than me bc if i had to deal with this rich man i would’ve already kms

“It was a battle. It was in Kalnasa, and it was a slaughter. There were people cutting down and killing the children, the adults, the animals, and laughing. They were…” I thought about the vision. “I couldn’t see their faces. I didn’t…know if it was real.”
“It may be,” the cloaked man said, “In the future.”
“Divination”

so you’re telling me that battle might still happen at some point? 🧍🏻

« The Prince sighed. “Captain, it would not be hard… for people like me... to adapt to it.” He paused between each part of his sentence, as if he regretted uttering the words. “Or sorcerers,” he added. »

well well well isn’t that suspicious 🧐 mr Nathon i know what u are (other than 🏳️‍🌈)

“His hair felt as silky as the garments I wore, more so. I rubbed it in between my fingers.
I shook my head and dropped the strands. I didn’t have time to assess his hair’s texture, or a reason to either.”

👀🏳️‍🌈
