Scream King - James Karen
Elain a Time Walker:
So I am reading cc3 (first time reader) and I just got done with some major Prythian and Midgard history lesson chapters. But there are still some gaps in the history and missing knowledge on who some of the characters who helped build this history outside of Theia and Fionn are. I have been saying for a while that we need to get out of Night Court, not only to discover what the other courts have to offer in Magic and Strength, but also now to learn what roles the High-Lords ancestors also played in overthrowing the Daglen and creating Prythian into 7 Courts. I know the 7 Courts came about during the years or decades that Queen Theia was in Midgard and king Fionn was dead. And that the magic of the land picked the High Lords of these 7 courts. But how were they chosen. What connection did they have to Fionn and Theia and their Daglen masters that the Magic chose them to rule these lands.
I truly think Day Court libraries have more information on the creation of the courts in their many libraries. And possibly even an accurate history on ALL the High Lords Bloodlines and any branches that came from those bloodlines. I also think Autumn Court is hiding secrets about who the Daglen are and their own involvement in overthrowing them. I also think Autumn Court is hiding the knowledge of who is from the true Royal bloodline.
But to get to my theory of Elain is a time walker. So I think to find the true answers to the history of Prythian, not the second hand history Queen Theia wanted her daughter to know, we need to walk back in time and see it with our own eyes. And we have a character who has been blessed by the cauldron with Time Magic.
And I think the way Elain will be able to walk through time is with sharing her magic with her mate, Lucien, and him sharing his magic with her, as Carranam. Elain’s seer ability is tied to Lucien’s presence. And it also currently seems Lucien’s ability to spell cleave is tied to Elain. And I think Lucien has untold magic tied to his biological father, Helion, that we hopefully get to see in their journey.
Helion has a vast array of magic abilities under his belt. The most prominent being Sunfire, Spell Cleaving and Weaving, and Healing. But he also uses a touch based magic in Silver Flames. He touched the Autumn Court soldiers to not only assess their health but also to tap into their mind and look at what is affecting them. And he also used this same Touch Telepathy to communicate with Rhys about how to disable the wards. He is not Daemati, but he has an ability to touch and connect mentally to people and maybe even possibly items.
So if Lucien has the same ability to perform Touch Telepathy and he shares that ability, that magic with Elain they could potentially Time Walk together. So with Lucien’s touch telepathy magic and Elain’s time magic they could tap into prior owners of ancient magical items memories and essentially be transported to the moments these items were used or created and see how they were used in battle or see how these ancestors help shape/build Prythian. Together they can find the answers that Prythian needs to fight and kill these Daglen, these Asteri, these Valg.
I think it’s imperative to get answer for the future of Prythian and even the history of Prythian.
I Walk The Earth
YES it is time to post the soft mummies again! They are so beautiful, in deаth and eternity gruesome and peaceful, reduced to the bare structure of our being, and they are so soft a leather and so fragile a bоne. They smell like old books and old fruit and their exact quality is unknowable for to know it would defy the heavens in brilliance and bring about total cosmic understanding...it is all I can do to wonder in awe and to wander in reverence.
Once I saw some in person and throughout my being they cast a fear both careful and deep - terror, and one I delight in, for to confront deаth and grotesque flesh and find it so is reassuring of mortality and of humanity, and the still beauty I find in it all the same is sure of my undying love for - all things and everything. I shuddered and murmured for days after that…
Oh, now here is a fine and noble fellow. See his skull, how shallow his skin stretches? The angularity of his arms? The surrender and simple contentedness on his lifeless face? He has weathered tens of thousands of years within his tomb and they have given him softness, and rest.
My flesh is savage - it howls the prickling knowledge of every single bolt of sensory information I experience, and I drown in the constant awareness. Yet I know this: that nothing is insignificant, and that everything is without intended purpose upon creation. It is beautiful to be meaningless and loving, and to see, and to know, and to feel. I wish only that when I am deаd my bones find the same softness in the earth as these darling creatures have in their tombs and endless sandheat and dry darkness.
Alas, those two are still my only soft mummies. It is hard to find good beautiful mummies these days.
Many of the others are twisted and agonized in their forms, and often torn or rotted, their empty eyes staring wildly across the abyss to find purchase in my soul, clawed hands shaking and desperate, their jaws wrenched open in mad wailing despair...fear, and sympathy, for that is as we all are.
And it isn't merely this world I adore, as I turn my hopes up to the sky, in reverent memory and wild delight thinking well of such infinite possibility...I shake now more often with tearful emotion and happiness than with fear. There are worlds fantastic and free, and this can very easily be one of them.
And that is why Time Walker (1982) is the single most incredible movie ever made.
