The Eagle & the Serpent in The Sign

As a lover of tattoos, I noticed in the trailer that Phaya has wings tattooed on his back as well as another design.

Also in the trailer for the show, there was a shot of a book titled Legend of Naga & Garuda.

They are important mythical (and religious) entities. Garuda is a birdlike deity and is in a constant battle with snakelike Naga.

We saw them in the trailer as well.

The title card for the series also features them. The eagle is on the left and the serpent is on the right with its tail being the top of the wording.

This is Naga in creature-form confronting our Garuda in human form .

Phaya comes from a wealthy family (in any life).

And was in the air force before being recruited into the special investigations unit, which could be the reason for the wings tattoo.

So who could the serpent in human form?

And because I always pay attention to colors, Chalothon wears green ties, so this could be him or someone sent on his behalf watching Tharn.

In the trailer, Phaya speaks to a woman wearing a gold serpent crown and serpents on her necklace.

She mentions her sister will find Phaya in any life, and when we see Wansarat, she shares the same accessories with a serpent belt and bracelets as well but in green.

She was Naga's in their past lives.

But in this life,

she will be Phaya's.

Because Phaya is "of the air" he will struggle with water.

And he has since he was a child.

In the tale of Garuda and Naga, their conflict stems from powerful water that Naga possessed.

Note that there are three kids who see Phaya drowning: Tharn, Yai, and another unnamed kid.

One kid appears to wear green.

Wild Ass Theory - That kid is Chalothon and he had something to do with Phaya being in that water.

Tharn's parents died in an accident when he was a child, and he almost died as well.

He has the gift of foresight, and Garuda's most known wife is Unnati who was known for her wisdom. His gift is tied to karma, and as a child, he was told to free himself from the person he was tied to in a previous life, he needed to return a protective amulet to its owner.

Two Theories - I think for Tharn to no longer be tied to Chalothon, he had to save Phaya who is the person Chalothon has wronged in the past (and possible present) or Wansarat betrayed Chalothon by saving Phaya in a previous life therefore tying them together forever, and she must save him in every life now.

So when will the necklace reappear?

Because Phaya seemed to be wearing some sort of necklace when he confronted Tharn in the bathroom.

Bonus: We have a lion on the squad.

And Yai's girlfriend, Sand, is played by Yoshi who is transgender and Miss Tiffany's Universe 2017, so Yai better keep his eye on the prize and quit looking at other girls.

the great nicobar serpent-eagle is (believed to be) the world’s smallest eagle species; their name comes from being endemic to the indian island of great nicobar. as their name implies, snakes are a large part of their diet; they primarily feed on reptiles such as snakes and lizards. due to their small range, they are threatened by habitat loss. typically, only one egg is laid per clutch; if two eggs are laid, then only one will be successfully raised.

I’m usually not someone who wants to buy a new printing of a book just because it has a different cover but the Temeraire art by Rovina Cai has me so tempted!

There is even spine cover art for the entire collection!

This series remains one of my favorites and I implore everyone to read these wonderful books! Dragon riders in the Napoleonic wars, with rich cultures from around the world, intense battle scenes, dragons arguing for fair rights and pay, and more!

Humorously this echos the breeding ground situation in the last book.

No one wanted the cave Temeraire chose for himself until it became a beautiful resting place that was lovely and charming.

Then and only then, when it had been prefect and evidently valuable was it desired.

Animal of the Day!

Great Nicobar Serpent Eagle (Spilornis klossi)

(Photo by Niranjan Sant)

Conservation Status- Near Threatened

Habitat- Great Nicobar

Size (Weight/Length)- 450 g; 42 cm; 95 cm wingspan

Diet- Rodents; Small reptiles; Small birds

Cool Facts- Being the smallest eagle, the Great Nicobar serpent eagle certainly has a mouthful of a name. Despite their small, stocky body and short wings, the eagle’s head is far larger by comparison. Preferring to eat reptiles, the Great Nicobar serpent eagle flies low over grassland and jungle. Their extremely strong talons allow them to snag snakes from tree branches mid-flight, often being venomous varieties including several species of tree viper. Generally monogamous, some Great Nicobar serpent eagles use the same nest every breeding season.

Rating- 12/10 (Yum, yum. Snake time.)

Animtober- Eagle (Not the biggest, but pretty cool regardless.)
