Inktober Day 21: Chains

Sabriel lay on the bricks and smiled up at the cat, blinking back tears. The cat twitched and turned its head ever so slightly to look at her, revealing bright, green eyes. "Hello, puss," croaked Sabriel, coughing as she staggered once more to her feet and walked forward, groaning and creaking with every step. She reached down to pat the cat, and froze--for as the cat thrust its head up, she saw the collar around its neck and the tiny bell that hung there. The collar was only red leather, but the Charter-spell on it was the strongest, most enduring, binding that Sabriel had ever seen or felt--and the bell was a miniature Saraneth. The cat was no cat, but a Free Magic creature of ancient power. "Abhorsen," mewed the cat, its little pink tongue darting. "About time you got here." Sabriel stared at it for a moment, gave a little sort of moan and fell forward in a faint of exhaustion and dismay. -Sabriel, by Garth Nix

We're not at the 21st day prompt yet but I got inspiration out of order!

damn right I’m rereading the Old Kingdom trilogy now. Highlights from the epilogue:

I love that he says this just after obviously raising his baby from the dead, and that while they very rarely do it, Abhorsens ARE allowed little a overt standard necromancy as a treat

New dad!Abhorsen Terciel my beloved ❤️

You know what's a neat flavour of character? Kindly necromancers.

sorry but it's so insane to me that we get introduced to lirael, 14 year old lirael, on her birthday and she has decided the only thing for her to do is kill herself because she's othered and lonely and ashamed and different and this is not the first time she's considered her own death, nor will it be the last, but for every time she considers it she also makes the choice to live. she cannot let life go and she cannot help but think something might change if she stays alive and if she kills herself now she'll never know. And then she steps into Death for the first time at 19, with her panpipes and sword and mirror, and gets caught up with the river for a few steps before remembering herself and shouting no. there's just something about a girl who has spent her life choosing life over and over again against all odds, who now has to traverse Death, primed for it as someone familiar with the call of death but equally familiar with saying no when it seems tempting to give in

Another reason why I love the Abhorsen Trilogy: all the young women are competent individuals who know they have limits and think they've reached them but then find the strength to push past them, while the only male POV character is a whiny privileged teenager who seriously fucks up before realizing his own strengths and valuing what he's good at (which, surprise, is not what anyone expected him to be good at).

Nothing like finishing a (n audio)book and trilogy all at once that wrecks your soul when you’re meant to me sleeping because you have class in the morning

I finished Abhorsen finally. I started reading Sabriel when I was about 13 or 14? I never finished the trilogy due to many reason I wont dump about. But i felt compelled (with a subscription to an audiobook thing and finding out they were narrated by tim curry) to revist the trilogy and finish it.

It tore me to shreds.

Absolutely. If you’ve read the books, you know how it ends. I am a disaster now. Very snotty, puffy, and phlegmy.

Cant wait to experience the rest of the books i didnt know existed until a few years ago!

I should sleep now….

Old Kingdom au!Fëanor wants to he Abhorsen like his father before him so bad that it makes him look stupid. He wants to be Abhorsen like his father before him so bad that he makes an entirely new set of Charter-infused necromantic bells just to prove that he can wield such powerful, important, approximately sacred tools. He manages this because he is, of course, a Wallmaker, not an Abhorsen. They do become the Abhorsen’s main set henceforth, after the originals are destroyed when Fingolfin tries to 1v1 Orannis.

Hm, actually, the relationship between divinities and people is all but inverted between these two media. I need to think about this some more.

The ship Sabriel (Sam/Gabriel) annoys me, not for the normal reasons like perceived lack of chemistry between the characters or it just not being your thing, but because Sabriel is the Abhorsen!

And every time I see it written I wanna go read that book again 😆
