"They always believed they could see disaster coming and avoid it," Beloved said. "Change the future to save themselves. They knew something of the Destroyer, but I doubt they expected a small girl; I doubt they understood they would bring it all on themselves." He added, "And the actions of the Unexpected Son were, as always, unexpected. Fitz had a way of tumbling all their pieces from the gameboard. For a time longer, we may be in their blind spot. Fitz bought this time for us. We must not waste it."

Fitz had, I thought to myself. Not Fitz has. Never again. I felt Per's grip on my hand tighten and knew that we shared that thought. We followed them out into a sunny day. I blinked incredulously. I felt it had been a year since I left my cell. Deep grass surrounded the neglected entry to the tunnel and no clear trail led away from it. The tasselled heads of the tall glasses glistened with dew. We could clearly see the trampled grass where the Whites and then Prilkop had gone down toward the town.

"Let me take your arm," Spark said to Beloved. "We need to move quickly."

"I can see. As I once did. Perfectly."

"How?" Lant demanded.

"Fitz," he said quietly. He stepped clear of the brambles and looked around him as if the world were a wonder. "As he was dying. He did a last healing. On me. I suspect it took every last bit of strength he had." He looked down at me and added, "I did not ask him for that. I did not want it. But he knew he was trapped. He chose to spend what life he had left on me."

I looked up at him. He was changed from the first time I had seen him. He was thinner, almost gaunt. The battering his face had taken was almost gone. And he stood differently. It came to me slowly. Nothing hurt inside him any more.

I’ll never get over how the Fitz and the Fool trilogy was like “guess what Shade has kids now and they’re both fucking idiots”.

Fitz and the Fool just casually discussing the time the Fool died and Lant and Per are like 👀
