Malleus Draconia versus Ortho Shroud
It seems some people are surprised at Malleus’ actions? That he destroyed the robot dogs and almost destroyed Ortho.
But I would like to point out that Malleus has always been like this; very protective of his loved ones.
For example: In Lilia’s PE vignette, he nearly took Rook’s head off because he thought Rook was trying to hurt Lilia.
Then we come to book 7, chapter 7 update.
Yes, he destroyed the dogs and almost Ortho but remember Malleus is protective of his loved ones.
Malleus OBed because he wants his loved ones happy and Ortho is a threat to that, so of course he’s going to destroy any threats to them and Ortho basically labeled himself as such.
Now I want to bring up a point that I don’t see many talk about?
Malleus understood Ortho’s explanation about how Ortho woke up and how he was able to penetrate the barrier.
Ortho described himself as immortal basically because he can transfer his data to any body, which Malleus understood as transferring vessels.
This is when Malleus finally took the steps to destroy Ortho. Not because he wanted to kill him, but because he knew that Ortho would still live and transfer himself to another body.
Did Ortho feel fear? Yes because Orth doesn’t like lightning and that’s one of Malleus’ powers but think about it.
Feeling fear is an emotion no one wants to repeat. Malleus acknowledged that Ortho might be feeling fear
With Malleus knowing that Ortho can feel such things, Malleus told Ortho he would end him swiftly because in a way that is an act of kindess isn’t it? To end it quickly rather than prolonging the fear.
But at the same time he knows that Ortho will live and remember this emotion, and that’s what Malleus wants, so Ortho would be too scared to try again.
Malleus is protective of his loved ones and he always has been.
While his actions might seem as if he’s out of control, he isn’t. He understood in his own way what Ortho explained to him before making his move.
He didn’t attack because he’s raging but made a more calculative move on his end to stop Ortho, one that he would make repeatedly if need be, since he knows that Ortho can transfer bodies.

Just realized that Nona looking no older than 14 even with the excuse of malnutrition means that Harrow looks no older than 14 as well, which retroactively makes Mercymorn constantly referring to her as younger and younger in HtN waaay funnier.

STYX Headquarters: YO, GRANMAMA DRACONIA! COME GET YOUR BOY BECAUSE THE DIRECTOR IS ABOUT TO LAY HAM ON HIS FAE ASS!
This last update has me all sorts of ways but I couldn't help myself 🫠
In all seriousness though... Where the hell is Maleficia??? Why is no one from Briar Valley coming to help him? 💔

Was watching parts 5 and 6 again for book 7 and god, I just can’t get over the fact that it’s taking Malleus to rebel and almost die once again to get the love and attention he wants and needs.
Lilia figured out that Malleus was lonely and wanted love when he was still a egg. He promised to give him just that, but he also told egglleus that he needs to tell Lilia his feelings so he can understand him.
And do you know the scene that came to my mind??
He said it didn’t he?? He spoke his true feelings so you can understand!!
And this time once again, it is at the cost of his life. His gradual death.
[Why are you two like this?!? No scratch that why are you three like this?!? Sebek, please never change.]
