The Whispering Room: James’ POV

Here it is finally — James’ POV of the Whispering Room scene from Chain of Gold. I wanted to wait until Chain of Iron was released to give more people a chance to read the book, and also because what we learn in COI does inform the scene. I hope you enjoy!

If Chain of Iron ends with Jesse resurrected and telling Lucie "who are you?", I pay myself a plane ticket and go to Cassandra's house because I won't be able to endure another year like this!!!

Lol.

How I picture the beginning of Chain of Iron

James watching Grace and Charles pretend to be in love and thinking he’s in love with Grace:

Cordelia watching James watch Grace and Charles and thinking James is in love with Grace:

Matthew watching Cordelia watch James watch Grace and Charles and thinking James is in love with Grace and his marriage to Cordelia is fake and being in love with Cordelia:

Lucie watching Cordelia and James and Matthew and Grace and Charles and confused about who to pair with who in her fan fiction:

Thomas watching Alastair heartbroken because of what he learned about what he did at the Academy and thinking he still loves Charles:

Alastair watching Thomas from afar and hating himself for messing everything up and feeling sad about Charles:

Charles under a spell and stuck in a fake engagement with Grace and thinking about how he was a dick to Alastair:

Jesse trying to chill but thinking about how Lucie and Grace are trying to bring him back from the dead and worrying about them:

Christopher:

Someone needs to do this for the end of CoI ...

The Herondale line is indeed cursed in someway.

Hear me out: Every Herondale has to proof themselves worthy of the love they receive! Their love will be tested in blood and fire. They have to stand their ground against demons and social expectations (like Edmund), fighting death itself (like Lucie) and sometimes the worst enemy they have to fight are themselves. And some of the Herondales just have to learn basic communication skills (looking at you, my sweet Jamie!)

Some of them fail like Tobias and Stephen did and they suffer greatly for it. But some of the Herondales overcome all the hardships and hurdles and destiny rewards them with amazing everlasting love. Like it's for Will and Jace.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Just to get it straight: Grace and Lucie are the reason why 80% of the shit that happens in TDA happened?

I just want to lock them all up in a room with their parents and TALK

[literatouristin]

This is too true not to share it.

The song "So cold" by Ben Cocks and Nikisha Reyes-Pile sums up the last 30ish pages of "Chain of Iron" to perfection.

I'm so sad.

[literatouristin]

I had to cancel our last D&D Session because I had to jump in at work (I'm a nurse, don't judge me) and my DMs answer was "Well, that's one way to delay death" and now I'm scared af.

I just love how Azriels shadows lowkey ship their master with Gwyn like "oh, is this our mommy now?"

[literatouristin]

If Azriels kink isn't being tied to the bedpost or any other object during adult exercise I'm going to riot.

I'm shipping him so hard with Gwyn that it almost hurts and due to her past it could be important for her to keep power in intimate situations.

AND SHE EVENTUALLY IS GOING TO USE THE RIBBON FOR IT.

[literatouristin]

Hear me out: Azriel and Cassian starting to sing the intro of "Can you feel the love tonight" like Timon and Pumba when they first met Feyre.

[literatouristin]

The fact that Brom decided to describe Selena with the words "She was full of pride and dignity [..] Ultimately it was her downfall, but it was one of her greatest gifts nevertheless." to Eragon who never had the chance to met his mother and didn't know that Brom was his father and that this was Broms chance to at least give him a hint or something but instead he decided to describe her with these words lives rent free in my head forever!

[literatouristin]

I'm re-reading "The Inheritance Cycle" at the moment and I just realized something. I always thought that the whole Murthagh-vs-Eragon-plot was like a retelling of the Morzan-vs-Brom and that the boys inherited the war of their fathers. I mean they both became dragon riders, these dragons even had the same scale color as the dragon of their fathers (Morzans dragon was red, Saphira I was blue), it's all about Murthagh hating the fact who his father is and that everyone compares him to Morzan and so one.

But. BUT! Now I come to the realization that Murthagh is in fact so much more than his and Eragons mother. Before her True Name changed she was feared by the Vardens, she had a reputation for being ruthless, devoid of either pity or compassion. Selena was driven by her own ambitions and she was absolutely devoted to the person who was able to give her the power she wanted. Same with Murthagh: he wanted to overcome his fathers reputation and was willing to do everything for his goal.

But Selena and Murthagh both switched loyalties for love (Selena for Brom and Murthagh for Nasuda) and as well Selena as Murthagh changed their True Name and therefore where able to the persons that they served.

And now, in my head everything is different. Because that makes the whole Murthagh vs. Eragon part not some kind of Morzan vs Brom pt2 but much more a Selenas dark and twisted side against her kind and caring side..

If you are looking for me, I'm right there crying my eyes out.

[literatouristin]

Lol. Imagine how Brom must have felt when he realized that after all the trauma and tragedy he had gone through, after all the fights and wars and the horrible losses je had to endure he settled down in a sweet little village to keep an eye on his son. And his son, that little idiot, not just became a dragon rider but also gave his dragon the same name as Broms own late dragon.

I mean... haha, destiny is a real bi*ch.

Excuse me I need to cry for a bit.

[vroengards]

Just imagine the emotional mess that was going on in Brom’s mind when his son, Eragon, once came to him and told him subtly that he was a Dragon Rider like he was... yeah.

[literatouristin]

I miss ye good oldern days of the internet, when there was a roleplay game for each of my favorite books and movies....

[literatouristin]

I'm re-reading the Inheritance cycle and I wish we would know more about Eragons mother.

I mean: she went from "Oh, I love the dark, evil but handsome traitor and even are willing to act as his spy and assassin" to "yeah, fuck that and fuck him! I'm eloping with the gardener".

What an icon!
