Okay I saw a post the other day saying that Stella feels really suspicious, and I’ve just had a thought

Stella makes the star rune glow, meaning she’s connected to the rarest primal source of them all: stars. She has powers we’ve never seen before, such as making portals. She was an orphan, all alone.

When you think of the star primal, you think of Aaravos. And you know what portals do? They transport something or someone from one place to another. We’ve seen her save Rayla’s bag of coins from lava and teleport them into her hands, but we’ve also seen her transport those gems somewheee, but we don’t see where they arrive in frame, meaning, presumably, her powers aren’t just short-range.

So portals transport things, and Stella can probably have a very long range for that transportation. What does Aaravos desire more than anything? Transportation out of his imprisonment.

What have we seen Aaravos do before? Bring a caterpillar to life in the world outside his prison, and made it grow and then turn into a creature that “will lead you to one who has answers”, so that he can be freed. So, presumably, he could do this with other animals too. Especially if it’s an animal that’s connected to the same primal source as him.

So what I’m trying to get at here: Stella might be either a past attempt to escape his prison before the present timeline, or just part of this huge plan Aaravos has been cooking up for centuries. Stella is only a baby, so it seems unlikely that it’s the first. But for the latter, I think it fits perfectly.

Think about it. This baby creature can already create really amazing portals. When she’s older, she’ll (naturally) get more powerful. We might not have seen her transport living things yet, but that could be something that develops over time (or just a power she already has that hasn’t been displayed to us yet). And, after exposure to Rayla, a genius in cracking codes and figuring her way out of a situation, and after exposure to Callum, an amazing mage, the first human primal mage to exist (ever? In centuries?? One of the two), after exposure to Ezran, the youngest Katolian king like ever (you’ll have to fact check me on that) with a lot of power and a good heart, after exposure to Zym, the literal dragon prince, she’d probably get more powerful (and maybe more influence over these people in power). With all that, Stella could potentially eventually get to teleporting Aaravos straight out of his prison, either if the humans fail their mission or just to help alongside the humans to make sure he gets out.

If I’m right about this (doubtful), then there’s no way he’d just stop at two. He’s almost certainly got heaps more plans out there to ensure his escape. It’s probably seven in total: one for each element. Claudia and Viren represent dark magic, Stella is star. I’d bet three toes and a hair tie that there’s another for earth, one for sea, one for stars, one for sky, and one for ocean.

(Also the wiki page on magical creatures has literally nothing on cuddlemonkeys other than they’re lemurs connected to each primal source)
