Koschei's Sleeping beauty retelling Elriel Theory 🌹 A thread

By this point, you should know that if Rhys orders Az not to do something, it's foreshadowing that Az will do it. Rhys doesn't want Az at Vallahan, so he's going in the next book.

Elain wearing a white nightgown, symbol of the maiden, when Azriel aka angel of death came to her.

So the Truth-Teller was probably sad because its twin Gwydion was stolen. And now that Az left it, it'll probably also go missing...

Also it's kind of interesting that erebos can hear the TT singing, because it was made, and so far only starborn or made characters have been able to interact with the trove.

If Erebos who's a shadow being, can leave his shadows behind, why do you think it's normal for Azriel's shadows to always cling to him

Drinking my coffee and rereading Chapter 6

This is giving heir to whatever the Shadowsingers were

Elain and Az are friends. They've spent a lot of time together, they can literally read each other without speaking, with no powers involved. This book had to set up the romantic conflict because the larger plot is going to kick off in the next one. There's no time for convo lol

Elriel

Canon Elain bakes early in the morning and waits for Azriel to come kiss her and nuzzle her neck before starting her day 😭

Elain whispering shyly to Azriel, Marry me, and him in utter disbelief, thinking he's dreaming because the flower bright, honey sweet Elain wants to be bound to him after learning everything about his dark life
