ALLLL RIGHTY YALL

if u haven't already seen.............. guys i was late i was fucking late for the panel give me a break

BUT here is a play by play of everything from the second i got in

[A GOOD CHUNK OF THE SECRET SCENE] if you saw this post within the first few *hours you got to see but you know what? they got to me i don't wanna be the snitch (i did on accident but its the though that counts)

opeli is being led blindfolded (which we see from opeli's pov. riveting visuals i tell you) by soren to the ✨secret meeting location✨

when she comments on the fact that it is literally just callum's office soren shuts her up bless him

opeli's like "DID BAIT GIVE BIRTH??!?!?" and soren's like no these are "rescue baits" and opeli gives them the greatest fucking look i can't even describe it to you

you've seen that leak "look it's the pearl :D""WHA""yep he's in there :)))))"

rayla says it like "per-al." just thought you should know

soren suggests forming a Fellowship of the Pearl and going to throw it into a volcano i fucking hate this show

they're all debating what to do with it meanwhile the most cryptic-ass shots of callum with the pearl like we get it he's fucked (i take it back i want more)

they finally get to him and he's like "uh????? destroy it obviously?????"

he suggests--and these are 100% his words (not actually cuz u know but its the general idea)--"smash it? throw it off a cliff? take a big ol axe and just--KA CHOP." i love him so much

rayla asks how they know it won't just release him

the way callum is so confused and conflicted and he just says "i... i don't know" oh my god by precious baby

cool ass top-down to the pearl whirlpool esq transtion into the next scene hello??

zym is being emo at a painting of his mother (the one from 4x03 yeah they just stitched that shit up it's all good)

ezran's like. huh. we oughtta do smth abt this

callum is Thinking Thoughts on the turrets(?? yk where soren does his lunges) and tossin the rune cube when he sees the star rune light up......................................

it's stella stella's there and the way he reacts to her is so precious 😭 he's not the step dad he's the dad who stepped up type shit

enter rayla "they told me u would be up here brooding"

(in a tragic turn of events the rayllum of this scene had my brain fuzzy so i can't remember a few chunks here and there have pity my brain has rotten)

callum's like "we have to do something i'm scared he's gonna use me. i know what we need to do ok we need to go to the starscraper"

it's honestly hilarious the way he says "and *WE.* should go" he's like "don't be gettin any ideas now this is an us thing"

and then ohoho "they have something there for you, too" (THAT was an exact quote)

he's like "PLSPLSPLS i've studied star magic i know the spells i know the runes i just need the quasar diamonds!! LET ME FREE UR PARENTS AND RUNAAN PLEAAAASSSSEEEE"

rayla is veryyyyyy opposed she's like "NO i want to help my parents as much as you"--honestly i don't think ANYONE wants to as much as him--"but i don't want my biases to affect that" BIASES?!??!! like that was the word she used i can't stop thinking about it

zym has entered his wolf child era his ass is HOWLING at the moon

soren hears him and goes "aww little guy misses his mom :((( sometimes i wonder where my mom is...." WHAT AWHAT WHAT AWHAT PJARDON SAY IT AGIAN YOU WAHGTS SAY IT AGIAND HUAH HUWH A

ok. yeah callum does not have pajamas BUT I THINK WE HAVE BIGGER ISSUES HERE????????????? HE WAS SLEEPING IN HIS OFFICE

THAT COUCH THING THAT THEY WERE ON WHEN RAYLA CAME BACK IN 4x03???? HES JUST SLEEPING ON IT I CANT MY GUY WHAT R U DOINGGG

in other news

bruv is tossing and turning and then just. ~stops.~ this can only mean good things (i think you know where i'm going with this)

he sits up. hobbles over to the door. there was a really cool transition (can u tell i respect the cinematography) and he's in the cellar holding the pearl.

he wakes up in aaravos' prison and is like "well this looks neat!" until he sees the mirror and screams and wakes up. when he realizes where he is he goes "what have i done" dude you fell asleep?? god he's never sleeping again (<- me when i lie 😈)

the description we got of this next scene did NOT do it justice it was fucking incredible

callum kicks down the fucking door (not actually) screaming for rayla

rayla TUMBLES OUT OF BED ON TO THE FLOOR, pillows in hands and unafraid to use them

"WHOA. HEY HEY ITS OKAY ITS ME! it's just me rayla. it's me. callum" i feel like he was saying the same 5 words for 7 hours it was beautiful

rayla: "callum?? jeez i could have-" *looks at pillows*

callum giggles the cutest fucking giggle and says something along the lines of "yeah, it would've hurt real bad :)"

oh yeah DE-LAYERED PONYTAIL RAYLA CONFIRMEDED??!?!?!?!?!

she sits back on the bed and my guy KNEELS DOWN AT THE CORNER OF THE BED TO PICK UP HER STUFF BEFORE HE SITS DOWN NEXT TO HER and they say chivalry is dead romance was birthed and ended with this scene

he tells her about it and she goes "callum, you're exhausted. you had a nightmare. if i thought you were in any real danger you know i would-" and then ironically i forget the same line that the person from nycc did wouldja look at that

can i just mention how close they were sitting in this scene i mean i jsut thikn i should mention hwo clo

yada yada he has a lightbulb and runs off with her blanket

the iconic "i know stella.. he took our blankie :("

god knows why barius is up in the middle of the night whispering sweet nothings to his jelly tarts

callum comes in with a certain proposition mwuhahaha

rayla comes into his office and sees his aesthetic ass sewing by fireside and graciously says "ah i get it! you're taking your mind off things by peacefully knitting" so iconic for both of them

callum explains that he's stitching runes to create a protection spell when barius comes in with the """"""""pearl""""""""""

rayla DIVES in front of callum and says "what r you doing get that thing AWAY from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she got SO protective SO fast it was blessed

callum's like au contraire 😈

ok so obviously we had all heard about the fake pearl but. you know that one guy who makes insane sculptures out of nothing but chocolate? that's what they did the pearl is brown sludge with a candy coating 💀 i'm losing my mind that is so funny to me

so yeah with the decoy out the real pearl is protected by--and callum literally said this--"a magic blankie >:)"

he also pops in to tell ez and omg GUYS BAIT HAS HIS OWN LITTLE ROYAL CANOPY BED ITS SO FUCKING CUTE

dawn in the courtyard--ez is saying goodbye to soren, zym, and pyrrah who are going to look for zubeia (i almost just typed zendaya i need sleep) and callum and rayla who r going to the starscraper

my roman empire is this: callum was acting all eepy and then when they get going hE RESTS HIS HEAD ON RAYLA'S BACK AND FALLS ASLEEP. I CANNOT FUCKING MAKE THIS UP IT WAS PHENOMENAL SHE LOOKED SO FUCKING HAPPY I I I I I I HAKJSDHFKJASHFDKJHSADKFHKJASHFIHASEKFH

on a slightly lower note

scene from teaser except they did cut a couple lines in the teaser. mainly just terry going "didn't see you there,, cuz i was asleep. with my eyes closed"

he does not in fact get impaled but claudia tells him she's gonna leave him first and does just that

as she's going omfg terry's cries and pleas and "I LOVE YOU"s and "I WILL WAIT. I WILL WAIT HERE FOR YOU" was absolutely insane idk what was in the air in that recording studio but shout out to ben

i am so tired goodbye!

#SO SORRY i couldn't get this out last night #but here she is #tdp s6 #tdp s6 spoilers #tdp spoilers #tdp wondercon #tdp #the dragon prince #*thought i fixed it within minutes but iiii did not💀

[an-actual-attack-helicopter]

Ever wondered what kind of music the Dragon Prince characters like/dislike?

Well I made a list because I have no life <3

Callum: Techno and house. He likes to dance. 🕺 He pretty much respects all music.

Rayla: Stoner rock. Like, Queens of the Stone Age type shit. Hates bubblegum pop and folk music.

Stella: Likes any music she can work out to. So like, power metal or something.

Ezran: swiftie. Hates derogatory rap.

Bait: Music that makes you poop. Hates all other music.

Claudia: Fairy metal. She also wakes up to nyan cat every day. Dislikes most classical music.

Viren: Loves very epic classical. Like, Carmina Burana level epic. He also secretly likes musicals and hates nyan cat.

Aaravos: OG Lady Gaga fan. Also likes Madonna and some Beyoncé but is forever loyal to Mother Monster. Hates Viren’s taste in music.

Soren: He insists that beatnik poetry is music so make of that what you will. And he is the only one who knows Viren likes musicals. Soren does too and they used to bond over it.

Corvus: Doesn’t really listen to much music. He says his favorite music is the sounds of nature. Dislikes electronic.

Terry: He likes folk music. A lot. No one knows what music he hates because he doesn’t wanna hurt anyone’s feelings by revealing it.

Zym: Anything Ezran likes because Zym is young and impressionable.

Opeli: Lofi jazz lmao

Runaan: Traditional moonshadow music. Doesn’t like anything else

Ethari: Same as Runaan but more open-minded.

Amaya: Metal because she can feel it physically. She knows a lot about the history of heavy metal and can explain the intricacies of each genre with remarkable accuracy. She dislikes music that doesn’t have much bass so she can’t feel it. (AN: imo best music taste here ironically lol)

Janai: Went through an emo phase. Hates scat.

My unorganized thoughts after finishing The Dragon Prince season 5

Finished binging the season!!! I loved it. It dragged in places and that stupid fucking lemur thing is still the bane of my existence but I loved the character development and plot beats! I also loved seeing more of Terry. He has something deeply wrong with him <3. Also liked Viren completing his redemption arc, though I would have preferred the resurrection spell actually require Claudia to sacrifice herself or at least like sacrifice a limb or something to truly complete Viren's arc. He has no attachment to that fuckin homunculus thing, and his reasoning for not killing it being that "Dark magic led Claudia down a dangerous path, I'm not doing any more dark magic" is a little weak. I do appreciate that the way they did it gave us a whole scene of Aaravos talking about "our child" with Viren, peak evil gay, but it did a disservice to Viren's redemption arc. I get that it was kinda the only way, since Aaravos knows Viren would never hurt one of his actual kids at this point in his arc, but still. I also am really interested in how Zubeia being corrupted goes, how Claudia losing her leg goes, and what's up with that magic pearl. Is that really Aaravos's prison? Or is that the key to his prison? Loved Callum struggling with what he's willing to do under pressure to save those he loves, and how that's contrasted with Claudia, who's kind of a dark mirror for who he could become if he can't learn to let go of those he loves. Loved the reveal that he used dark magic to save Rayla in the Sea Legs episode. Also just really liked Finnegrin, he's a great character and I love his design. Love a ruthless evil pirate who wants revenge on the Archdragon of the Ocean for killing his beloved hermit crab, who keeps pet hermit crabs all over his office, and who has a neckline low enough to kill god. I also love Elmer! What the fuck is his deal though. Are there just plant trolls in Xadia now? Not opposed, just wanna know.

I also really loved Soren this season! I like how his kindness and unwavering faith in others is his greatest strength. Very sweet. That man is the One True Himbo. Dumb, strong, and most importantly, kind. Fucking LOVED seeing Tidebound elves this season. I've wanted to see ocean elves since season one! Fuck yeah! Janai and Amaya are so cute together. Same with Terry and Claudia, love a good fucked up couple. He's just like "I can fix her" and she's just like "No you can't but you CAN join me in my insanity." Callum and Rayla go back and forth for me; sometimes they're really sweet, but sometimes they seem almost forced and I'm just like... can't they be BFFs? Or in a QPR? I feel like it would fit better than a romance TBH. I also love how Villads was 1000% willing to get his hand chopped off for a few kids he met once three years ago. My kind of dude. Fuck that General lady, also. Like, how is Karim worth betraying your entire people and possibly ruining the future of your whole society?? Does he kiss you on the forehead sometimes? Please get better judgment you are literally a judge on the High Court. Also what is up with the Sunfire high priest? He's clearly hiding what's most likely a corrupted wound but why? And why side with Karim? I loved Kim'dael. Love an emo vampire lady with sapphic energy who could kill a man with her fingernails (literally). I like how she isn't strictly evil and has a clear goal that she acts toward with logic. She wants to be freed from her mercy debt so she can drink the blood of anyone she wants, and she acts with logic toward that goal. I still CANNOT wait for them to finally free Runaan from the coin. Honestly Rayla's parents come second for me because we just don't know them as people. But like. I wanna see the cut to Ethari standing over the pool and seeing Runaan's life lily rise to the surface again. I will cry and that is a promise.

Also, that bit where Janai has a nightmare where Aaravos tells her that her great-grandmother's fate was that Aaravos "swallowed her"??? Why are half the lines out of Aaravos's mouth innuendos. Is it the VA's voice? Does it just compel people to write his characters like that? Or is Aaravos just Like That as a person.

I mean like. Aarvos also flirts needlessly with Viren every chance he gets. Not even for manipulation because Viren is not into him, he's just incapable of not acting like that. Viren is definitely gay though. Like definitely. Even my cishet brother could tell in that scene where Viren is having a dark magic-induced fever dream about Harrow. Like oh you *liked him* liked him. Sure had a funny way of showing it, Mr. Kill The Princes. Anyway. Yeah that's my thoughts on The Dragon Prince season 5! Cannot wait for seasons six and seven, I'm sure they will be so cool.

[blutopaz15]

Ok but Viren killed baby shadow paws?!?! The fuck!! No redemption for u pal. Also if he took Runaans braids im emo

UH YEAH WTF??? 😭😢

also the way way bmh came out literally YESTERDAY and they hit us with shadowpaw fur and white braids that are obvs moonshadow (if not literally Runaan’s)…..fucking RUDE tdp. So RUDE.

#the dragon prince #thanks for asking! :) #why u gotta do us like that tdp #they are so good at causing us pain I swear

[hoothalcyon]

After I got past the sheer amount of content we were blessed w, it hit me HARD that I am so much more emo now about Runaan being coined now that we’ve seen just how cozy they were and how much they MEANT to each other and loved each other and were BEST FRIENDS and VERY in love and dependent on each other’s support. Meep. Please return Ethari husband ASAP

🥺

#so true #they'll be okay

[raayllum]

Thinking about Callum blowing up at Ezran because of his frustration at his inability to help (which I’ve written a much longer meta about) and his envy, likely, that Ezran gets to live in ignorant bliss. But more than that, Callum blowing up at Ezran because he has no one to confide in. He offered his help to Soren, who was realistically right to rebuff him, but Soren didn’t offer any reassurance either. No “it’ll be okay,” or “we’ll protect the king,” or anything along those lines. Callum isn’t going to seek out Harrow; he doesn’t go looking for Claudia, either. He’s used to working through things like this on his own - it just doesn’t seem to go well. 

#tdp callum #castle kids #the royal family of katolis #dragons liveblogs #broyals #every separation is a link #bc again this is why it's so important he has rayla later #and i'll never not be emo over it #also rayla likewise being unable to actually confide in runaan even he does his best to offer genuine reassurance!! #s1 #1x01 #arc 1

[ask-runaan-anything]

I know an eternal optimist. If he got stuck in a coin after using a magic arm band of pain, he'd comfort himself with the fact he hasn't lost his arm. Think positive! You are in a perpetual state of hunger but your physical state not changing protects you.

I know an eternal optimist, too. His name’s Ethari. And he isn’t here. That’s okay, though. This, enduring in this coin, this is what I do. I’m good at this. Ethari, not so much. He’d never deserve this, nor likely survive it. I’ve got no rainbows to shine in here. But at least Ethari is safe somewhere.

how about that I cheered myself up

#ask runaan #runaan answers #emo cheer #could be worse #barely

[lesbian-janai]

I had a dream that tdp released a special alternate universe episode that wasn't a part of the show and was just for fun and all I remember from it was that runaan had black hair and black clothes and was really shy and nervous and we all called him emo runaan and soren had brown hair and had a sweater and glasses and he was really smart and liked to read and we all called him nerd soren

needless to say I was really disappointed when I woke up and realized that it wasn't real

#jade speaks #the dragon prince #tdp #runaan #soren #i wish emo runaan and nerd soren were real 😔 #also i'm gonna call this the hair color and personality change au

[wishesofeternity]

But seriously y'all TDP is going to be fantastic. We're going to get morally grey characters acknowledged as morally grey, wholesome family dynamics, an epic plot and such cool visuals. We're going to get such badass female characters who are so different and yet so equally great, we're going to get a diverse cast, we're going to get so freaking much.

And we're getting it all tomorrow.

I've never been more excited for anything in my life

[beautifulterriblequeen]

For the ask game: tdp and lotr ;)

Ohoho I see how it is, fam! Gosh, okay uhhhhhhhh

TDP

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) - Runaan, my angsty long-haired neurodiverse stabby honorable hot elf son who is hopelessly in love with his husband and cannot say feelings to save his life

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) - Bait, tubby lump o' grump, a rainbow of colors and feelings

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) - Opeli, Queen of Order and President/Founder of the We Hate Viren Club, what is their combined backstory like, gosh

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) -Crow Master, my emo son, what is up with his corvid-shaped shadow, he tries so hard to do a Good Job!

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) - Viren, High Mage of Katolis, Bi Disaster Man, Irredeemable(?) Asshole, Horny On Main For Elves Power, Stealer of Shirts, Eater of Orange Peels, Swiper of Crowns, Locker-upper of Children, Devil-Dealing Dumbass, Reluctant Blood Ritual Performer, Just Generally Thirsty, Researcher and Schemer Extraordinaire Yet Still So Foolable, Smooth-kneed for Saleer, First of His Name

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) - ahaha no this would also be Viren if I wanted to break someone, but usually I torment Runaan because he can take it

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) - you might think I will say Aaravos, but it's actually whoever is responsible for the Moonshadow elves having to deal with the angst of blood promises/binding ribbons and having assassins in the first place. Someone set this precedent, and it's still here, ruining human and elven lives/families alike. So if that's a dragon, like Luna Tenebris, fine. If it's Bloodmoon Huntress, fine. If it's still Aaravos, fine. May every step they take on the path to superhell land on a Lego.

LOTR

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) - Elvenking Thranduil, yes I have a type, stoic white-haired queer badass leaders who protect their people in problematic ways while looking hot, what about it

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) - Kili, he's literally a chibi dwarf, come on

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) - Celebrimbor, the elven smith who got fooled into making the Rings of Power. He's kinda a Feanor 2.0, except way better than the OG redheaded disaster elf because his heart was in a much better place, and realistically who wouldn't fall prey to the charms of Sauron? Anyway, he makes pretty magic artifacts, he's an artificer and that's freaking awesome

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) - gotta be the Mouth of Sauron, he's freaky and gross but somehow weirdly compelling

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) - Denethor, Steward of Gondor, for the sheer amount of family and cultural angst he can carry all at once, he's an idiotic drama king steward and he drives so much of the plot with his dumb slanted perspective... He's basically a Viren

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) - Gimli son of Gloin, because he howls so horribly and Generally Emotes With Overkill, but also so his gentle elven prince, Legolas Greenleaf, can show up to help calm him down and set things right again

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) - Smaug! He's a sad little king of a sad little hill, petty and cruel, a tiny little bitch and a coward, pathetic but not even in an interesting meow meow way like Denethor. Just fall, burn, and perish already, you paper airplane lightweight. Ugh.

DUDE this was fun, tysm!!

#asks #tdp #lotr #dhsjsbdbs so fun #thank you for the ask #sorry this took so long i had a nerve flare-up

[astraskylark]

Okay both of Rayla's parents and Ethari have brown eyebrows while Rayla and Runaan have white so I'm 100% positive these two emo edge lords bleached their eyebrows

Primero antes que nada, ésta reseña contiene spoilers. Puedes leerla bajo tu propio riesgo.

El fin de semana pasado se estrenó la nueva temporada de The Dragon Prince, y no creo que sea necesario describirla ya que cualquiera que lea ésta reseña sabrá cual es la premisa de la serie, por lo que puedo ir directo a mi opinión.

Primero y sobre todas las cosas, disfrute la temporada. Fue entretenida y bastante digerible, pero por desgracia hay varios baches en el camino. Recuerdo muy bien que menciones que la primera temporada dejo mucho que desear, que la segunda la superó por mucho. A mi parecer, con la tercera temporada intentaron superar la anterior siendo más ambiciosos, pero fracasaron en algunos aspectos.

Empezando con los puntos buenos, la animación mejora con cada temporada. Visualmente es hermosa con sus fondos, diseños de personajes y la fluidez de la animación. Desde el punto de vista visual, TDP es un mundo complejo por sí solo.  

Durante ésta temporada la mayoría de los personajes tuvieron un importante desarrollo, algunos positivos y otros negativos. Ezran descubrió lo difícil que es ser y tomar decisiones; Callum y Rayla evolucionaron juntos en cuanto su relación, y fue satisfactorio ver a Callum detener a Rayla cuando comenzaba a volverse emo. Pero quienes tuvieron el desarrollo más importante eran Soren y Claudia; uno por ver detrás del disfraz de su padre y decidir por sí mismo lo que es correcto, y la otra por segarse a la realidad con tal de continuar con lo que ama aunque la consuma poco a poco.

Y por último la idea general de toda la temporada es muy buena e interesante. Me gustó mucho que no convirtiera toda la serie en el viaje de regresar a Zym con su madre. Pero tuvo bastantes problemas en el camino.

Ese fue uno de los principales complicaciones de ésta temporada, tenían buenas ideas pero las ejecutaron pobremente. Por ejemplo, la traición a Ezran para quitarlo del trono. No se encuentra muy bien explicada como funcionó, porque al final arrestaron a Ezran y Viren se proclamó rey tan fácil. También los motivos de Ezran para abdicar se vuelven contradictorios cuando ataca a su propia gente en la batalla final.

Otro detalle es que Viren se explica como un villano sin motivos claros. Ni siquiera él sabe porque hace lo que hace. Todo lo contrario a Aaravos que desde el principio era obvio sus motivos, pero en ésta temporada se vuelven más complejos.

El humor  fue algo malo. Sí, es una infantil, pero los niños merecen algo más que chistes de pastelazos o fartjokes.

Y por ultimo solo queda hablar sobre la inclusión de diferentes sexualidades en la serie, que debo de admitir que TDP lo hace bastante bien, resulta natural y sin ser apantallante. Mi única crítica es que pueden ser muy melosos, pero así son todas las parejas  en la serie, incluso las heterosexuales. Por lo que se perdona.

El problema que tengo con ello, es la reacción del fandom, que parece importarle este aspecto que toda la serie en general. Y voy a decirlo, el que Runaan sea padre adoptivo de Rayla fue sacado de la manga (no sé si decir que su esposo y homosexualidad también). Definitivamente no creo que él era originalmente el padre adoptivo de Rayla, por cómo se comportan el uno con el otro en la primera temporada.  

Solo un detalle para pensar.

Ya regresando, TDP siegue siendo una serie interesante y bastante compleja en diseño y en universo, vale la pena seguir atento a que sucede con ésta historia.

#THE DRAGON PRINCE #the dragon prince season 3

[mama-m1na]

Journey of the Chaos Trio: Chapter 5

                                                    ~~~V~~~

When the group reached the village Rhamina immediately pulled up her hood but could still feel the stares on her when the baby dragon decided to lay down on her as she was being carried.

“Mina, this is for your benefit,” Tijarah laughed as the ravenette continued to mutter profanities under her breath as she was carried.

In response the female only pulled her hood down further as an attempt to hide herself from the world.

“Benefit my ass,” she muttered causing the male holding her to sigh, “I’m fucking fine.”

“Are you absolutely sure you’re human and not a fox?” Runaan asked ignoring the whispers of the elves around him, “Because you’re acting like an animal with the way you insist you’re fine even though you’re obviously not.”

“Well, she certainly doesn’t act like a normal human,” Rayla commented with a slight chuckle at the sulking teen.

“No shit she doesn’t act normal,” Sam said with a laugh as she ignored the gasps from around her, “She’s been living with us for all her life!”

“Eat my dick, Sam,” the ravenette snapped from her burrito as they approached the home of the healer.

“Now, there is no need for that,” Runaan scolded lightly as Rayla opened the door for him.

Upon entering the home the girls and Callum were told to wait outside as the healer gestured Runaan to set the ravenette down on one of the beds.

“Hoot Hoot, Mina!” Chloe called as she tried to fly over the assistants only to be pulled back by Tijarah.

“Calm down and let the woman do her thing in peace,” Tijarah said holding the female down by her shoulders.

“Why does the untrustworthy man get to go in?!”

“Chloe, shut the fuck up,” Sam interjected as she sat down in front of the building.

“But, Father Sam!”

Rhamina sat on the bed with the cloak covering everything but her leg which the healer was looking at.

“You’ve sprained it pretty badly,” she said once the wrap was gone and she could see the specific places which were swollen, “I have a salve that’ll help the healing process but you better stay off the foot.”

“Okay,” the ravenette muttered with her hood down.

“I mean it,” the woman said as she stood after removing the ankle from her lap, “I’ve heard from Runaan and Rayla of how stubborn you are.”

As the woman went deeper into her house Rhamina looked up to the one-horned elf and said, “It looks like your arm has gotten better, that’s good.”

“Yes, it has but I’m surprised you still have yours considering you’ve had the binding for over a week,” Runaan stated remorsefully, “May I see it?”

“Wait, shit you’re right!” Rhamina gasped moving the cloak over her left shoulder to reveal her perfectly fine arm, “This hasn’t gotten any tighter at all! I completely forgot it was even there!”

“What?” he asked rising from his seat before taking her arm gently and inspecting it, “How is this possible?”

“Was it the spell you used?” he asked while looking at the confused expression on the female’s face.

“No, that spell only transfers injuries or magical effects,” Rhamina explained poking her arm which felt no different at all, “It doesn’t alter or cancel the effects of a spell.”

“See?!” she exclaimed trying to rip off the piece of fabric, “I still can’t take it off but it doesn’t get tighter! What changed the conditions?”

“Alright- What in the world?!” the healer exclaimed upon seeing the band around the ravenette’s arm before looking to Runaan, “Runaan?!”

“I told you before that the human took the binding from me, didn’t I, Beldroth?” Runaan asked as the woman immediately took hold of the ravenette’s left forearm where the binding was wound.

“Yes but that was almost two weeks ago and- oh my goodness you’re the girl who brought Runaan back,” the woman said gazing into the confused eyes of the seventeen-year-old.

“Um, yeah?”

The woman let out an excited squeal as she looked back and forth between the two with a smile before she began to treat and re-wrap the ravenette’s ankle.

“And what do you think you’re doing?” the healer asked as she saw Rhamina put her boots back on.

“I’m gonna go back to my sisters and the kids I’m looking after?” she asked slowly standing under the glare of the woman.

“If you’re moving then you better be limping straight back to a chair or bed to rest!”

“...No?” the ravenette smiled as she began to limp towards the door only to be scooped up by the male, “No, not again! Please put me down! I’m fine!”

“I’ll make sure she won’t strain her injury any further,” Runaan said as the ravenette groaned dramatically.

“So where are you taking me?” Rhamina asked with her eyes crossed.

“I understand it would be boring to just stay indoors so for now you can watch us train,” Runaan said as he walked out the door for Rhamina to see her friends were gone.

She said nothing as she was carried to the obvious training area sighing in relief to see Kerstin, Sam, Tijarah, and Chloe sparring instead of probably setting things on fire.

Runaan set Rhamina down gently on the ground where she huffed in annoyance that she would most likely not be allowed to participate.

“Even Callum gets to train?!” Rhamina whined as she saw the human male holding a sword next to Rayla, “This isn’t fair!”

“Mina, you’re fucking injured suck it up,” Kerstin exclaimed as she tried to attack Tijarah who dodged with a shriek, “Stay in one spot you whore!”

“Kerstin, there are kids here!”  Rhamina scolded upon looking literally ten feet to her right where young elves were being trained by Runaan and a few others.

“Oh!” Kerstin exclaimed stopping for a moment, “I said ‘fudging’!”

“Also, I won’t get a break in a fight just because I’m injured you know,” the ravenette commented as she began to draw in the dirt.

“Mina,” Chloe said with sadness, “We don’t live like that anymore- oof!”

She was interrupted by Sam knocking her with the back of her katana.

“Don’t get distracted, Chloe,” Sam stated as she backed up into a defensive position.

“But, Father Sam!”

“Mina’s right. We’re doing something risky and if someone’s trying to kill you they won’t stop and give you a time out if you’re injured,” Sam said as the female got up before turning to her sister, “Even if she’s being an emo bitch right now!”

“There are children here!”

“Then you better hide them from Kerstin,” Tijarah snickered earning a string of curses from the dragon.

“Kerstin, I swear to god if you burn anything down!”

At around three in the afternoon the groups got a break and the girls gathered with Rhamina who was still sitting in her spot on the ground.

As they talked Rhamina turned her head upon hearing small footsteps and looked to see a small, elven child looking at her.

“Hi,” she smiled with a small wave to the nervous looking little boy.

“A-are you the one who saved Runaan?” he asked.

“Um, yes?” the ravenette said, “But I didn’t really-” “Thank you so much!”

The ravenette blinked as the boy launched himself at her, too stunned to react.

“I knew not all humans were evil!” he yelled as various other of the elves looked at the display warily.

“No,” she said slowly wrapping her arms around the child, “No one is really evil you know? They just make bad decisions.”

Rhamina could feel the boy’s arms waver as negative whispers began to buzz from the other elves around them.

Runaan made his way over to the group from the other trainers upon hearing a commotion and his eyes widened at what he saw.

“En dašebu nobe šundu tje̞ šutwu kewenu swa lei, en dašebu nobe šundu

tje̞ šutwu kewenu swa lei,” Rhamina began to sing in order to block out the harsh whispers and a light began to glow from her pendant.

In the moment the female appeared to be surrounded by a soft purple glow as she continued to sing.

Zym got closer and chirped along as the female continued her song.

“En dašebu nobe šundu tje̞ šutwu kewenu swa lei en dašebu nobe šundu, tje̞ šutwu kewenu swa lei,” as the pair pulled away Rhamina took the boy’s hands with a smile as small figures of ice began to freeze in front of them before animating and move around.

Kerstin and Sam’s eyes widened as they watched the ravenette even risk to do such a thing in front of people and then looked to the boy whose face was full of wonder.

“En dašebu nobe šundu tje̞ šutwu kewenu swa lei, en dašebu nobe šundu tje̞ šutwu kewenu swa lei,” once the ravenette finished her song the ice melted and the water fell to the ground around them.

“You should probably get back to training now,” she chuckled as she ruffled the boy’s hair, “You don’t want to disappoint your teachers right?”

“Yeah!” the boy cheered as he ran back to the group of kids.

“Mina!” Kerstin whispered as she and Sam got closer to the ravenette, “Why did you do that?!”

“That kid was being ridiculed for his belief and probably bullied,” Rhamina whispered back, “Like hell I’m letting him feel like he’s alone.”

“Rhamina, you have a lovely voice,” Runaan said as he walked over, “Better than any minstrel that I’ve heard.”

“Shut your face,” she scoffed, “I sound like crap.”

“No, you don’t you fucking bitch,” Sam said shoving the ravenette slightly.

“If you can use magic by singing then why don’t you use it to heal yourself like you did for me?” the male elf asked remembering his two nights in the dungeons of Katolis.

“Oh, well I can’t,” the teen shrugged, “It’s one of the conditions of the spell. I can heal everything but myself with it.”

“That’s stupid,” Tijarah scoffed, “It’s useless unless you’re fighting in a group.”

“Think about it though,” Rhamina replied, “If someone with bad intentions knew about it and could just keep healing themselves then they would basically be immortal.”

“It’s still an interesting concept that you use your singing to use magic though,” Rayla commented as she remembered their journey to the village and the nights where the ravenette would be lulling everyone to sleep.

“Yeah, I got the idea to cast spells with music from sirens actually,” Rhamina chuckled as she brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, “The stories I heard of creatures enchanting sailors with their voices intrigued me so I experimented and came up with something similar.”

“You know that’s pretty scary how you can do that without even encountering one of them,” Callum commented, “Impressive but scary.”

“You have no fucking idea, Callum,” Sam said, “Imagine coming back home to see your fucking sister standing on wind that she summoned by singing. We just left her alone for the day and as soon as we get back she’s all like ‘I have ascended, Fuckers!’”

“Hey, I cackled but I did not say that!”

“Mina, can you fly too?” Chloe asked from her left side.

“If I wanted to yes,” the ravenette responded as she pet the owl’s head, “It wouldn’t be that efficient though and it uses up a lot of energy.”

“Hey, Rhamina, you and Runaan should spar when you heal!” Ralya suggested with eyes sparkling.

“I don’t- No!” the ravenette sputtered, “I’m all for beating someone up but I would get my ass handed to me! Plus we have to take Zym home as soon as possible!”

The girls and Callum suddenly burst out laughing earning strange looks from Rhamina, Rayla, and Runaan.

“With all due respect,” Calluma started still laughing in between words, “I’m pretty sure Rhamina could beat Runaan pretty quickly.”

“Oh?” Runaan asked with a slight smirk as the ravenette began to panic slightly.

“Callum, Hun, we’re friends please stop talking,” Rhamina sung with a nervous giggle, “We all know I suck at fighting.”

“Yeah, because you don’t fight you fucking murder,” Tijarah said, “If you fought him seriously he wouldn’t have his head.”

“No!”

“Rhamina, you literally vaulted Soren into a second story window because he took one of your cookies,” Callum stated.

“Who can’t throw him?!” the teen tried to reason.

“Mina, Soren was wearing full armor, hoot!” Chloe commented.

“So?”

“His chest plate alone is like twenty pounds,” Sam said.

It was silent for a few moments before Rhamina launched herself at the brunette with her hands around the younger female’s throat.

“Mina, you’re ankle!” Chloe hooted frantically flying about a foot above her.

“Oh, yes, Daddy!” Sam coughed earning a disgusted look from the ravenette.

Immediately, Rhamina stood and placed all of her weight on her left leg as she said, “I fucking hate you.”

“I love you too, Mina, now sit the fuck down,” Sam said.

“Rhamina, sit down,” Runaan sighed as he placed a hand on the female’s shoulder.

“No, I don’t want to,” Rhamina said with her arms crossed, “I’m fine.”

“Then walk normally,” the elf challenged only to be met with a defiant look from the human girl.

“Bet.”

“Mina, no!” Chloe called as she and the other girls forced her to sit down.

The rest of the day passed with the group from Katolis training with the elves while Rhamina sat with Zym, simply observing.

By request of the healer Rhamina and one other of the girls were to be basically taken care of by Runaan during their stay.

“Are you kidding me?!” Rhamina exclaimed as she limped behind Runaan while holding Chloe’s hand, “I don’t need a babysitter!... But thank you for letting me stay.”

“It’s the least I could do for you,” Runaan said as he opened the door and stood to the side to let the girls in, “You’ve done so much for me in those two nights.”

“Hoot?” Chloe asked as she looked up at the ravenette before glaring at the male.

“You don’t need to do anything for me,” Rhamina stated as she once again followed Runaan around the small home, “Trust me I really don’t deserve it.”

“You really are strange aren’t you?” he asked before stopping in front of a door, “You both can use this room and mine is right next to it.”

“Thank you so much,” the ravenette chirped before bowing slightly and limping into the room with Chloe, “Good night.”

“Good night.”

“How do you know him, Mina?” Chloe asked as soon as the door was closed.

“He’s the elf I freed from the dungeons,” she replied as she sat on the bed and began to take off her boots.

“So he’s the reason who were so injured?!”

“Chloe, hush!” Rhamina whispered praying the male did not hear that, “He doesn’t need to know about it.”

“Why is he acting so familiar with you anyway?” Chloe huffed, “He only knew you for two days.”

“Um…”

“Mina?”

“No…”

“What do you mean no?!”

“You don’t need to know how we know each other…”

“B-but, Mina!”

“Night, Chloe, love you.”

“Fine,” Chloe huffed from her side of the bed before whispering, “Owl, will find out, hoot!”

The next morning Runaan woke up to the familiar sight of his room, and despite the fact the sun was blocked took that as his cue to get ready.

Once he was dressed and his hair was tied back in a ponytail he quietly made his way down to the guest room.

He knocked softly on the door before opening it to see only Chloe still snuggled in the blankets.

With a raised brow he went around his home without seeing the ravenette anywhere before he went back to the guest room.

Walking over to the female who had changed positions, Runaan gently shook her taking care to avoid getting smacked with her wings.

“Chloe, where is Rhamina?” he asked softly.

“Mina? I don’t know,” she muttered while sitting up and feeling around the bed only to feel nothing.

“Hoot?! Where did she go?!” Chloe asked suddenly awake, “She probably went to walk around, that idiot!”

Immediately the pair walked out of the house to search for the ravenette which didn’t take long considering that the female was sitting on the roof with her eyes closed.

“Mina!” Chloe called causing Rhamina to slowly open her eyes.

“Morning, Chloe! Morning, Runaan!” she chirped with a bright smile, “It’s so nice this morning!”

The sky was covered in dark clouds as it threatened to rain and it was quite windy with the smell of rain riding on it.

“Rhamina, how did you even get up there?” Runaan asked mainly concerned about the female’s injury.

“Magic,” she replied, “I propelled myself up with wind. It was the perfect day to to it!”

She proved her claim by standing and letting herself fall off the building causing panic in the two on the ground only for it to shift to shock as wind gathered under her to carry her safely to them.

“Mina, oh my god!” Chloe exclaimed as she clung onto the ravenette’s arm, “No!”

“Rhamina,” sighed Runaan as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I told you I would be too much for you handle,” Rhamina sung as she lifted her right foot off of the ground.

“I suggest you sit back down before Beldroth sees you,” he spoke with a smirk.

“You see her don’t you?”

Runaan nodded as he could see the older elf’s expression chance into pure rage.

“Fuck! Chloe help me hobble back into the house!”

“Young Lady, what do you think you’re doing?!” the healer screamed as she rushed up to the teenager.

“I wanted some air,” Rhamia replied with a nervous smile as she avoided looking into her eyes.

“Young Lady, unless you want to have problems with your ankle for the rest of your life then sit down!”

Rhamina’s expression when she heard the healer’s words.

‘Rest of my life… That’s right, I’m seventeen now so this cycle will be ending soon,’ she thought while biting her lip, ‘How am I supposed to explain this to Tijarah and Chloe?’

“Rhamina, are you alright?” Runaan asked placing a hand on her shoulder.

“Hmm? Oh, yeah I’m fine just got a bit distracted,” she chuckled as her stomach growled, “I hunger…”

At around noon the groups were continuing their training until the sharp sound of a flute entered the ravenette’s ears.

Her head snapped up at the noise and by the second note her expression changed to that of utter horror before she turned to the groups.

“Chloe, Tijarah, Kerstin, cover your ears!” she called but it was already too late.

She along with the other three immediately fell to the ground in pain.

“Fuck, Mina!” Kerstin growled steam coming from her nostrils and mouth, wings twitching and tail flailing.

“I know!” Rhamina called as her pendant began to glow black and hazy while red chains solidified around her form.

Tijarah began to struggle as well as her eyes began to glow bright yellow and her canines became sharper.

“Mina!” Chloe called as feathers began to sprout from her arms.

“What’s happening?!” Rayla asked as she and others tried to get closer.

“Don’t get near them!” Sam called with a slight growl as she looked in the direction of Katolis, “Someone found where we hid that bitch.”

After about two minutes Chloe had fully turned into a dwarf owl, Tijarah had transformed into a black panther, and Kerstin stood tall as a red and black dragon; however, Rhamina was left screaming in pain on the ground as the chains began to constrict tighter.

“Rhamina!” called Callum as he turned to the elf in green markings, “What do we do?”

“I don’t fucking know!” she replied as she brushed her hair back, “You touch those chains and you get burned so we can only wait until that fucking song stops and hope she survived it.”

The next two minutes were painful for everyone to watch.

Rayla, Runaan, Sam and Callum could only watch as the female writhed in pain and as tears streamed down her face. They could see the chains digging into her skin and Sam was sure she heard a snap from something breaking. At some point Rhamina started to cough up blood and struggle to breathe but they couldn’t do anything.

The three shifters couldn’t turn back until the song was over so they did what they would normally do in a situation like this.

Chloe was just flying in circles above the ravenette as she hooted frantically.

Tijarah’s tail was flicking back and forth as she sat next to Kerstin who could only look down at her sister.

Finally, the song was over and the chains disappeared but the female was still shaking and curled up.

“D-don’t touch me!” she shrieked as she felt the presence of Runaan behind her.

Doing his best to ignore the cries of the ravenette, Runaan gently picked her up and rushed her over to the healer again.

A few hours later Beldroth came out of the room the female was in and looked to the group, including the shifters who had changed back to their half forms.

“That girl is lucky to have survived,” she started, “I’m surprised she stayed conscious through all of it.”

“And how is she now?” Sam asked, “Can we see her?”

“Well-” “Come hither!” a quiet voice called from behind the curtain.

Ignoring the healer the four other girls pushed past the curtain to see their comrade sitting up; however, she didn’t look good at all.

There were already bruises forming from where the chains dug into her and her skin was a bit pale.

She looked up at them with sad eyes and said, “We need to talk about this now.”

“Mina, are you sure?” Kerstin asked looking to everyone but Sam and the ravenette.

“If this continues then it’ll be their problem as well,” Rhamina replied, “They might as well know right now and stay informed.”

“Mina, we can trust Chloe and Tijarah but we don’t really know the others as long as them,” Sam said earning suspicious looks from the others.

“What do you guys mean?” Tijarah asked, “What’s going on?”

“If that nutcase manages to wake her up then we’ll need more than just us to stop her you know,” the ravenette argued, mustering a glare despite her tired state, “And it’ll be harder to keep this a secret once she’s awake.”

“Who are you guys talking about?!” Callum asked.

Before Sam or Kerstin could say anything Rhamina replied, “Marianna Verum Salvator Ibadora, or you might know her better as Marianna the Monster Carver.”

“What?” the group gasped collectively as Kerstin’s and Sam’s eyes widened at the fact she revealed it.

“That’s impossible!” Callum exclaimed, “She was one of the princesses from before the human kingdom split up! She died almost 1,000 years ago!”

“She didn’t die,” Kerstin stated as she crossed her arms.

“She was sealed away in what now exists as Katolis,” Sam added only earning more astonished looks from the group.

“And how would you know that?” Rayla asked still in shock.

“Of course we would know about it, we were there after all,” Rhamina chuckled softly, “I was the one who sealed her away after all.”

“You couldn’t have been there,” Runaan stated, “You’re a human. They can’t live that long.”

“You’re right but let’s not forget about the third member of the Chaos Trio and how she threw away her humanity for the truth of this world,” the ravenette sighed looking up with the golden flecks in her brown irises seemingly glowing with mischief, “A greedy little fox who transcended death.”

“No way,” Callum whispered looking down at the maid who he’d known for five years, “You’re…”

“Yes, the second princess of the original human kingdom who abandoned it to be with her true sisters,” Rhamina stated, “My real name is Kitsami Verum Princeps Ibadora.”

“A thousand years ago I was basically immortal with the power I discovered but I gave that up and was forced to live in a human body in order to seal away my twin who had come too close to discovering a power which would have destroyed all of Xadia,” she continued, “My soul and beast is bound by unbreakable chains which you saw earlier.”

“The song that triggered Kerstin’s, Tijarah’s, and Chloe’s beast forms to come forward and tried to call out Mina’s beast as well,” Sam explained, “But those chains were holding it back and forcing it to stay in her human body.”

“I still can’t believe this,” Callum said turning to Rhamina, “If this really did happen then how are you still alive?”

“As I quickly relearned how fragile the human body was, I learned that once this heart stopped beating then it would basically be reverted to that of my ten-year-old self and I would just age from there until I died again,” the ravenette shrugged, “And that cycle would continue and has been continuing for the past millennium.”

“Don’t forget to mention that each time, your body can’t last a year after you turn seventeen again,” Kerstin scoffed earning worried looks from the others.

“Returning back to the topic of the song, it is called the Song of Beasts and like Sam explained it draws out the beasts that are hiding under a disguise of magic,” Rhamina said changing the topic to get focus off of her, “I hid it along with other spells where I sealed away Marianna and since it was played I can only guess someone is trying to wake her up in order to get help in winning the war for the humans.”

“So, we have to stop them!” Rayla exclaimed.

“That will not be necessary,” Sam said, “The only one who can release her is Mina.”

“Yes, but the human mages could find a way to break that seal,” Rhamina hissed, “I mean they found a way to twist the magic I brought back for them. Or if the need arises I need my full power again then I’ll be forced to undo the seal.”

It was silent after that before Runaan said, “Thank you for telling us this. Now we know what we could be possibly going up against but for now let’s all get some rest and let this sink in.”

Back in Katolis the people were panicking as many of the citizens had suddenly turned into strange creatures of dangerous animals.

“I wasn’t able to awaken the Queen but I was able to expose all of the shifters hiding among us,” Viren chuckled as she looked at the masses of creatures being brought to the dungeons.

In the absence of the ravenette he had become acquainted with the being in the mirror and had it brought back up to his study.

“I must thank you for revealing the location of the True Queen, Aaravos,” he chuckled with a purple caterpillar sitting on his ear.

“Marianna is not the True Queen, only her protector,” the Startouch elf corrected, “You must remember the awakening Marianna is only to draw Kitsami back to her rightful throne.”

“Ah, yes, where is Kitsami anyway?”

“Hiding,” the elf replied with a slight smirk on his face as back in Xadia Rhamina felt a slight warmth come from the binding around her left arm.
