0:03
Speaker 1: slips the vowed commander's ring on her finger, cuts her
0:07
Speaker 1: with his own fingernail, drinks his blood. And at this
0:10
Speaker 1: point I was like, I was like, no, no. I nearly,
0:15
Speaker 1: I dropped my, I dropped my Kindle, right? Because that
0:18
Speaker 1: was the end of the chapter. I dropped my Kindle.
0:21
Speaker 1: And also what he says is like, right before he

Speaker 1: puts it on, he goes, I'm really going to enjoy

0:31

0:33
Speaker 2: literature you have ever laid eyes, or.

0:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, baby. How are we feeling?
0:46
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm feeling good, Jake. I'm actually feeling great. I've
0:48
Speaker 3: got a couple of gripes.
0:50
Speaker 1: Oh, really?
0:50
Speaker 3: A couple of things that happen when I get to
0:51
Speaker 3: them in the chapters. I was like, surely not.
0:54
Speaker 1: Okay.
0:55
Speaker 3: But overall... Throne of Glass as a series, as a whole,
0:59
Speaker 3: it's getting out there, man.
1:01
Speaker 1: Really?
1:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was back in my old roots.
1:05
Speaker 3: I was helping my dad garden and I was listening
1:07
Speaker 3: to the first 10 chapters initially. Went like that.
1:11
Speaker 1: I haven't listened to any of this book. I've only
1:14
Speaker 1: been reading it because I'll sit down and read and then,
1:17
Speaker 1: but what I've been doing is I've been only listening
1:19
Speaker 1: to Credit City dramatized.
1:21
Speaker 3: Dramatized is way better.
1:23
Speaker 1: I was reading the first book and then I went
1:24
Speaker 1: full dramatized of like, I'll do like a four-hour stint
1:27
Speaker 1: if I'm cleaning or doing something like of Crescent City. Interesting.
1:31
Speaker 1: And I just get so into it.
1:32
Speaker 3: I've got this weird like, I'm going to label it
1:35
Speaker 3: as ADHD going on at the moment where like I'm
1:37
Speaker 3: struggling to concentrate with anything. Like just in a sense
1:40
Speaker 3: of like even watching YouTube, watching a movie, listening to anything.
1:45
Speaker 3: But the first 10 chapters of this, I was locked.
1:48
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:48
Speaker 3: I was locked in. Built up.
1:50
Speaker 1: Built up to the old arrow boy.
1:52
Speaker 3: Legit. Yeah.
1:56
Speaker 1: Anyways, let's get into it. And then I want to know,
1:57
Speaker 1: I'm keen to hear your gripes. Yeah, I've got a
1:59
Speaker 1: good one. I don't have any gripes. But when you
2:01
Speaker 1: say them, I may have them. Who knows?
2:02
Speaker 3: When they're torturing the demon.
2:04
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Anyway.
2:06
Speaker 3: I'll see if... Wait. Maybe I see through holes. I
2:09
Speaker 3: could just.
2:09
Speaker 1: Wait. The torturing the demon? Yeah. Oh, when her... Yeah, okay. Sorry.
2:13
Speaker 1: I was going to say we did last time, but
2:14
Speaker 1: they did it again. Yeah.
2:15
Speaker 3: Okay, guys.
2:16
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's get into the recap. Baddies chapter 40.
2:21
Speaker 1: So we start this chapter off with a lead. She,
2:26
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned last episode that she asked,
2:29
Speaker 1: she said to Madden, I need some poison. And so
2:32
Speaker 1: the poison was for going and she needed to make
2:36
Speaker 1: the bed maiden or whatever they were called, like the
2:38
Speaker 1: laundress that was going down into the dungeons to see
2:41
Speaker 1: the witches that were being used to carry the babies
2:44
Speaker 1: of the Valk. Uh, she needed to make her sick
2:46
Speaker 1: so then she could like volunteer to take her job.
2:48
Speaker 1: So she does that. She goes down and she says,
2:52
Speaker 1: so when she's down there, she, First of all, the
2:57
Speaker 1: lady that's like, yeah, yeah, you can go volunteer for
2:59
Speaker 1: this lady, whatever. She's like, go tell such and such
3:02
Speaker 1: that you're covering for Misty, I think her name was.
3:05
Speaker 1: And they'll let you in. And then she goes, bit
3:07
Speaker 1: of advice, drop the sheets and run, babe. Come back here.
3:11
Speaker 1: Don't even worry about it.
3:12
Speaker 3: This actually kind of made me sad a little bit.
3:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, what?
3:15
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:16
Speaker 1: Anyway, she goes down. No one's batting an eye. She's
3:20
Speaker 1: got the sheets like, cool, cool, cool. Goes down, puts
3:24
Speaker 1: the sheets at a door. The door opens and it's
3:28
Speaker 1: a handsome, it's actually quite a handsome man, clearly not
3:31
Speaker 1: human anymore. But she sees the yellow legs coven, which
3:36
Speaker 1: that is being used. And all it says is that
3:39
Speaker 1: she passes out, starts vomiting or something. Next scene, she's
3:43
Speaker 1: just with Astrid, Manon and the other one, can't remember
3:49
Speaker 1: her name, Sorrel. And she's just vomiting, vomiting gross blood.
3:54
Speaker 1: And they're like, Jesus Christ, get over it. Tell us
3:56
Speaker 1: what happened. Basically, they are just fucking these witches up
4:01
Speaker 1: with the babies in them. It's insane. They were begging
4:03
Speaker 1: to be let go. And so, Manon and Sorrel are
4:07
Speaker 1: kind of like, holy shit, okay. Astrid, who's now been
4:11
Speaker 1: bumped down to number three, she starts to like, she's
4:13
Speaker 1: like fighting. She's fighting it.
4:16
Speaker 3: It was their second baby they were giving birth to.
4:19
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's like they've had one and then straight
4:21
Speaker 1: away they're having another one.
4:22
Speaker 3: And the first one already was like, Big.
4:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
4:25
Speaker 3: And they're like beasts. Yeah.
4:27
Speaker 1: Animals, bro. So, yeah. Basically, Astrin gets in a big
4:34
Speaker 1: fight with Manon and Manon's like, fuck you. You're bummed.
4:37
Speaker 1: You're not even part of my top three. Get out
4:39
Speaker 1: of it. Like such and such is going to take
4:41
Speaker 1: your place. At the moment, hating on Manon.
4:44
Speaker 3: A little bit jarring. She's struggling between being a leader
4:48
Speaker 3: and then doing what's like right for her.
4:51
Speaker 1: The only thing that I can understand is that she's
4:54
Speaker 1: had 100... She's 100 years old. Or she's... I don't know. Anyway,
4:59
Speaker 1: she's had 100 years of being like, you know, her
5:06
Speaker 1: grandmother is the one she answers to. She gets final
5:08
Speaker 1: say no matter what. Manon doesn't have a mind of
5:10
Speaker 1: her own. She's... Her grandmother's like, we're doing this to
5:14
Speaker 1: get our wastelands back. And so it's like 100 years
5:17
Speaker 1: of having nowhere to live, right? Yeah. kind of makes
5:21
Speaker 1: sense to me.
5:22
Speaker 3: Was it due to a person you don't know?
5:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, starting to make sense to me. She's never had
5:26
Speaker 1: a proper home, and so she's like, well, probably thinking ahead,
5:29
Speaker 1: we sacrifice a couple witches. Like, is it that big
5:32
Speaker 1: of a sacrifice? And to me, like, witches are meant
5:36
Speaker 1: to be evil. I mean, they are evil, bro. These
5:39
Speaker 1: motherfuckers are evil AF.
5:40
Speaker 3: I know they're not.
5:41
Speaker 1: Obviously, the 13 are going to change sides.
5:43
Speaker 3: Yes.
5:43
Speaker 1: Like, obviously. And so then we're going to have bloody...
5:47
Speaker 1: 13 witches and also might I add the 13 best
5:52
Speaker 1: witches of all the witches. Well, there's 3,000 witches that
5:54
Speaker 1: I have a feeling they can't take on all 3,000,
5:56
Speaker 1: but whatever. Cool. So that's that. And then Elide is
6:02
Speaker 1: like telling Manon about her history, who her father was,
6:06
Speaker 1: who her mother was. And we find out that Elide's
6:10
Speaker 1: mum is the one that sacrificed herself to save Selene
6:14
Speaker 1: or Aelin. Yes. And Elide talks about, Aelin Galathineus and
6:18
Speaker 1: the hope that she's still alive and that her mum
6:20
Speaker 1: saved her being the thing that kept her going this
6:22
Speaker 1: whole time. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. She
6:24
Speaker 1: has this whole hopeful chat to Manon and Manon's just like,
6:26
Speaker 1: shut up, bitch. But yeah, so it's pretty cool that
6:28
Speaker 1: that's her mum.
6:30
Speaker 3: And what did she say? What would you do if
6:32
Speaker 3: you found out that Aelin was alive? She's like, I'd
6:35
Speaker 3: give my life to her.
6:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. She's like, I would do anything to get
6:38
Speaker 1: to her. I would do anything to get to her.
6:40
Speaker 1: And little does she know.
6:41
Speaker 3: Suck up, babe.
6:43
Speaker 1: Little does she know, my bro. Oh, wait, also... I'm
6:46
Speaker 1: not going to say what the spoiler is, but I've
6:48
Speaker 1: had a huge spoiler because of TikTok. And it's not
6:50
Speaker 1: the one I spoke about last week. It's really annoying,
6:52
Speaker 1: but it confirms something we think is going to happen.
6:56
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm going to say. And then when
6:59
Speaker 1: it happens, I'll just tell you that that was spoiled
7:01
Speaker 1: for me.
7:02
Speaker 3: I almost have to stop watching your videos because you're
7:03
Speaker 3: a quicker reader than me.
7:04
Speaker 1: You were like, part one.
7:05
Speaker 3: You went outside and you're like, part two. Don't watch
7:10
Speaker 3: my videos. And then I was like, well, fucking part one.
7:13
Speaker 1: I'll start it with, if you're already clocked, don't watch it. Boom, boom.
7:17
Speaker 3: Okay.
7:18
Speaker 1: Chapter 41. So Aiden and Rowan, they talk and this
7:27
Speaker 1: is behind Selene's back and they agree with each other.
7:30
Speaker 1: They're talking about how Selene is going to kill Erebon.
7:34
Speaker 1: And they go, if she doesn't do it, Rowan's like,
7:39
Speaker 1: what do you think and aiden's like oh i'm doing
7:41
Speaker 1: it like he's dying yeah and then rowan's kind of
7:43
Speaker 1: like okay cool i'm glad we're on the same page
7:45
Speaker 1: and then aiden goes just want to let you know
7:46
Speaker 1: though that my blade's going to be the one that
7:47
Speaker 1: does it or some shit like and rowan's like.
7:49
Speaker 3: Cool it's all yours he's yours bro he's yours i
7:51
Speaker 3: think aiden feels like he's got something to prove.
7:53
Speaker 1: And then selena wears that dragon dress that that rowan
7:58
Speaker 1: was like i want to see you in this bad
7:59
Speaker 1: boy and she comes out saunters out and he's kind
8:02
Speaker 1: of like oh he stiffens Aiden walks away. He knows.
8:05
Speaker 3: I know it's later, but no panties.
8:10
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Chapter 42. So we, um, we arrive at
8:17
Speaker 1: Arabin's place and then Selena and Rowan have another lengthy
8:22
Speaker 1: mind conversation. I forgot about that. That's what's in my notes,
8:24
Speaker 1: but they have, they just do it all the time.
8:27
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird me out. It's like, clearly they're
8:29
Speaker 1: obviously mates. That's what, that's what I'm saying. Anyway. Um,
8:33
Speaker 1: And so then they rock up. They, boy, hands down,
8:39
Speaker 1: I think the best line in the series so far.
8:42
Speaker 1: I don't know why this, I just loved this so much.
8:46
Speaker 1: When Ailyn, Rowan and Aiden rock up to Araben's place
8:49
Speaker 1: for that dinner. And then Araben is like, goes over
8:55
Speaker 1: and he's real yuck and like predatory to Selena, right?
8:58
Speaker 1: He like goes over, gives her a hug, sniffs her
9:00
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, you smell amazing because she bathed
9:02
Speaker 1: in that almond scented oil that he sent because he
9:04
Speaker 1: wanted her to smell like him because he's got this
9:06
Speaker 1: whole power control thing. And so he says like, oh,
9:09
Speaker 1: you smell amazing, right? And then two steps away or
9:12
Speaker 1: right behind Slane, Rowan goes, thanks, I really needed that oil.
9:15
Speaker 1: My skin was a bit dry. And I was like,
9:17
Speaker 1: that was so boss.
9:19
Speaker 3: Rowan knew what he was doing.
9:21
Speaker 1: And she says, she full says, Erebin slips up a
9:23
Speaker 1: bit and he's like blinks and he's like, what? But
9:25
Speaker 1: that's all he would show.
9:26
Speaker 3: But yeah, he fucking, he got her, bro.
9:30
Speaker 1: Oh, fuck, it was funny. And so then they go
9:34
Speaker 1: and they... So Rowan and Aiden, they don't get allowed in.
9:38
Speaker 1: And then they bring in the Valg commander they call.
9:41
Speaker 1: And Selina and Araben go and torture to get info
9:45
Speaker 1: out of him. And they do it, I believe, in
9:49
Speaker 1: the same cell that Sam was in. So Araben's playing games.
9:54
Speaker 3: Does he have one cell?
9:55
Speaker 1: He's playing games. I know. He does it on purpose.
9:57
Speaker 1: He's doing it on purpose. but so here we go
9:59
Speaker 1: we're at this part you said you have a gripe
10:01
Speaker 1: with this.
10:02
Speaker 3: Well no keep going I'll tell you where my gripe
10:03
Speaker 3: is it's after.
10:04
Speaker 1: So basically Arabin's asking all these questions cutting this guy
10:10
Speaker 1: in places doesn't want to be cut whatever and he
10:13
Speaker 1: gets all this information he thinks right he gets a
10:16
Speaker 1: bunch of information the information he gets is That, number one,
10:23
Speaker 1: the ring controls the guy, whoever it's on, can't take
10:29
Speaker 1: it off. And the king puts the ring on. You
10:33
Speaker 1: have to, like, do some sort of blood offering. Yep.
10:36
Speaker 1: And then I'm now under the control. I do as
10:39
Speaker 1: the king wishes. And whoever's blood is part of that offering, cool, cool, cool.
10:43
Speaker 1: So Erebin figures all this out, cuts the ring off
10:45
Speaker 1: the guy, kills the vowed commander. He's got the ring,
10:49
Speaker 1: puts the ring in his pocket. They go, they have
10:51
Speaker 1: dinner and, you know, they're in here having dinner and,
10:55
Speaker 1: and Arobin's obviously being himself. He's being like, blah, blah, blah.
11:00
Speaker 1: He starts to, one thing that I didn't really notice
11:03
Speaker 1: at the time, but it makes sense. So like Selena
11:05
Speaker 1: is zoning in and out because she's just like having
11:07
Speaker 1: mind conversations with, with Rowan. And so she's not noticing
11:11
Speaker 1: all the jabs that Arobin's taking and it's really getting
11:14
Speaker 1: to him, but we don't know that at the time,
11:16
Speaker 1: but like it says in past tense, it says that.
11:18
Speaker 1: And so, Like it's really getting to him anyway. He
11:22
Speaker 1: ends up saying like, you know, what have I got
11:24
Speaker 1: to do to stop you being a pain in my ass?
11:26
Speaker 1: Because I know you ruined the vaults for a reason.
11:28
Speaker 1: I know you've done this for a reason. I know
11:29
Speaker 1: you've been setting up my cousins and stuff. Like you've
11:32
Speaker 1: been stopping my business. Like what is it going to
11:35
Speaker 1: take for you to fucking like stop being annoying? And
11:40
Speaker 1: then so she's kind of like, oh, well, there could
11:42
Speaker 1: be a price, whatever. So then they go into this
11:46
Speaker 1: big sitting room. Aiden, Rowan, you guys fuck off. Like,
11:49
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to Selena. They start to negotiate
11:51
Speaker 1: a bit. And so they're negotiating back and forth, back
11:54
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth. And then they get up.
11:59
Speaker 1: And I think it's like they've come to sort of
12:01
Speaker 1: an agreement, right? And she's like, all right. He goes, tomorrow, breakfast,
12:04
Speaker 1: meet me here. We'll plan. And like, she's planning this
12:09
Speaker 1: whole fucking time, bro. Okay, they get up. He, they go,
12:14
Speaker 1: she's like, on her guard, but he comes up real
12:18
Speaker 1: close in his own, in his predatory way, slips the
12:22
Speaker 1: vowed commander's ring on her finger, cuts her with his
12:25
Speaker 1: own fingernail, drinks his blood. And at this point I was.
12:28
Speaker 3: Like, I was like, no, no, I nearly.
12:33
Speaker 1: I dropped my, I dropped my Kindle, right? Because that
12:36
Speaker 1: was the end of the chapter. I dropped my Kindle.
12:39
Speaker 1: And also what he says is like, right before he
12:42
Speaker 1: puts it on, he goes, I'm really going to enjoy
12:43
Speaker 1: having you back. And then he does that. And then
12:46
Speaker 1: she's like, fuck. And so then he goes, what's my name?
12:50
Speaker 1: She says, Arab and Hamel. He goes, why are you here?
12:54
Speaker 1: She says, to kill the king and the prince. As
12:57
Speaker 1: soon as she said that, I was like, I knew.
13:00
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. That's
13:02
Speaker 1: not why she's here. And if this thing's all controlling
13:04
Speaker 1: and powerful, that's not why she's here. She's obviously under control.
13:06
Speaker 1: And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Anywho.
13:08
Speaker 1: He's like, tell me you love me. Tell me you
13:10
Speaker 1: love me. And I was like, this guy is a
13:11
Speaker 1: fucking pedophile.
13:13
Speaker 3: Say my name.
13:14
Speaker 1: Yo, he was going to fucking, he dead set would have,
13:16
Speaker 1: if he, if, if this thing, like any, let's, okay. Anyway, she, she's,
13:21
Speaker 1: she's acting. Yeah. Didn't actually work because he didn't do
13:24
Speaker 1: the whole thing. There's actually a tattoo on the other
13:26
Speaker 1: wrist that you're supposed to have, but he didn't see
13:27
Speaker 1: that on the bow commander. Right. So he's under the
13:30
Speaker 1: impression that Selene is under his control. She actually goes
13:33
Speaker 1: home and then they're like, all right, time to plan.
13:37
Speaker 1: He thinks he's got me. So that was that.
13:39
Speaker 3: And Rowan didn't know.
13:41
Speaker 1: Rowan knew. Oh, no.
13:42
Speaker 3: Rowan knew and Aideon didn't. Because he was angry. He
13:45
Speaker 3: was angry. Remember? On the drive home, he was like,
13:47
Speaker 3: what the fuck? Because they went in the cart from Rowan.
13:50
Speaker 1: I swear Aideon knew. Maybe not, though.
13:52
Speaker 3: Maybe not.
13:53
Speaker 1: I'm wigging out with why is she keeping so much
13:54
Speaker 1: stuff from him?
13:55
Speaker 3: Well, they've got to get their organic reaction. So here's
13:58
Speaker 3: my gripe.
13:58
Speaker 1: Oh, true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your gripe?
13:59
Speaker 3: My gripe is, right, so Selana, we find out, switched
14:03
Speaker 3: the ring prior. She already got it off the Vow
14:07
Speaker 3: commander who they tortured.
14:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:09
Speaker 3: And they put a glove on him.
14:10
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:11
Speaker 3: So when Erebon and Slanna are torturing this demon and
14:15
Speaker 3: they're cutting him to pieces, they cut his finger off
14:17
Speaker 3: before they kill him. He's got some fucking Michael Jackson
14:19
Speaker 3: glove on and they don't think to take it off.
14:21
Speaker 1: Well, he had two gloves on.
14:22
Speaker 3: Right.
14:26
Speaker 1: No, he had two gloves on. Yeah. And in the interrogation,
14:29
Speaker 1: he's like, Erebon's like, how does the king control you?
14:31
Speaker 1: He's like the black ring on my left hand. And
14:34
Speaker 1: so Erebon takes off the left hand. And so to
14:37
Speaker 1: Erebon's knowledge, Like, there's nothing going on with the writing.
14:40
Speaker 3: But he's just got some... If I'm an interrogator... And also,
14:43
Speaker 3: it's like.
14:43
Speaker 2: If Erebin's this all-smart genius... Also, sorry, we got the
14:48
Speaker 2: word key back.
14:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:49
Speaker 1: She said, like, I want my fucking necklace back. And
14:51
Speaker 1: he did that. And he gives it back to her.
14:53
Speaker 1: And then she says, like, when it gets put on, like,
14:55
Speaker 1: this thing feels crazy. Like, it feels wrong in all
14:57
Speaker 1: sorts of ways. I shouldn't be wearing this, blah, blah, blah.
14:58
Speaker 1: She's like, I know it's real. Anyway. Fuck. So, did
15:04
Speaker 1: I say that she slips a note to Lysandra? No. Anyway,
15:07
Speaker 1: right before they go to have dinner, she slips a
15:09
Speaker 1: note to Lysandra. All right. And... Oh. Guys, I've said...
15:19
Speaker 1: I've done chapter, like, 43. I've done chapter fucking... We
15:25
Speaker 1: got excited. Yeah, okay. I've done chapter 43. We're on
15:27
Speaker 1: chapter 44. Okay. We got excited. Yep. So, basically, they
15:31
Speaker 1: go home and Selene is, like, goes onto the roof
15:34
Speaker 1: to get some air. And then Rowan comes up to
15:37
Speaker 1: talk to her and he's like, are you going to
15:39
Speaker 1: do it tonight? And she goes, yeah. And she's looking
15:41
Speaker 1: in the direction of the assassin's keep. And then he goes,
15:44
Speaker 1: are you going to do it tonight? And she's like, yeah,
15:46
Speaker 1: it's happening tonight. And then I don't know how they
15:48
Speaker 1: get around to it, but he basically, she's like, it's not,
15:50
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it though. He said, I, she, he, I,
15:53
Speaker 1: I told Lysandra that she can do it. And I
15:56
Speaker 1: was like, that's pretty bad-ass. I personally think that's quite bad-ass.
15:58
Speaker 1: And she's actually in, she's, she's in two minds about it.
16:00
Speaker 1: She actually doesn't know if she wants Erebon to die,
16:02
Speaker 1: but she knows he needs to die.
16:04
Speaker 3: If anyone deserves to kill her, it's Lysandra.
16:06
Speaker 1: She does like a boss-ass thing too pretty soon. Anyway.
16:08
Speaker 3: Kill him.
16:08
Speaker 1: So basically, she says to Lysandra, what it says on
16:14
Speaker 1: the note that she gave Lysandra is, unravel the note, right?
16:18
Speaker 1: It says, he's all yours. So Lysandra's laying in bed.
16:21
Speaker 1: Next scene, we're with Lysandra. Laying in bed, I believe.
16:25
Speaker 1: And she's like talking to herself. He's fallen deeply asleep.
16:30
Speaker 1: And he like made very, very rough... love to her
16:34
Speaker 1: that night because of his like new power over selena
16:37
Speaker 1: he was feeling really good about it so he made
16:38
Speaker 1: a really rough love to lysandra gross so anyway she
16:45
Speaker 1: just basically is talking about it if it's now or
16:48
Speaker 1: never it's now or never she's like he just he
16:51
Speaker 1: doesn't suspect me one bit he thinks i'm this dumb
16:53
Speaker 1: beautiful woman that he can just like buy and he
16:59
Speaker 1: he thinks i'm that dumb that he trusts me enough
17:01
Speaker 1: to sleep with a knife under his pillow She rolls
17:03
Speaker 1: over as if she's just like a restless sleeper, grabs
17:06
Speaker 1: the knife, slits his throat. So, I'm not going to lie.
17:12
Speaker 1: I was like quite happy that that's the way it happened.
17:15
Speaker 3: I was happy Lysandra did it, but I also, I
17:17
Speaker 3: don't know, in my head, Erobin was built up so
17:20
Speaker 3: much and he just double whammy where he just stuffed
17:23
Speaker 3: up twice and then he's dead. And I thought it
17:25
Speaker 3: was just like, I thought it had to be a
17:26
Speaker 3: bit more creative. I'm glad Lysandra did it.
17:28
Speaker 1: I thought it had to be slightly more creative too.
17:29
Speaker 1: I kind of thought maybe there was going to be
17:31
Speaker 1: like a fight. But at the same time, I think
17:34
Speaker 1: I really liked the way it happened because Selena beat
17:36
Speaker 1: him at his own game.
17:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
17:38
Speaker 1: She did a better job. She was actually one step
17:43
Speaker 1: ahead of him the whole time. When we, I was like,
17:46
Speaker 1: there's no way this guy's not one step ahead of
17:48
Speaker 1: her the whole time, but she was just one step ahead.
17:49
Speaker 3: The ring play was genius. Like she knew he was
17:52
Speaker 3: going to lose it.
17:52
Speaker 1: One gripe I have, one gripe I do have, is
17:55
Speaker 1: the fact that literally the night before the dinner, is
18:00
Speaker 1: when they catch the Vow Commander and Selina and Rowan.
18:05
Speaker 1: They torture him. Well, not torture him, but get information
18:08
Speaker 1: out of him, right? And they actually ended up convincing him.
18:11
Speaker 3: They saw a bit of good in him.
18:12
Speaker 1: So they saw a bit of good in him and
18:13
Speaker 1: they convinced him to only tell Erebin a couple of things.
18:17
Speaker 1: And then they got Lysandra's jeweler to remake, to replicate
18:24
Speaker 1: the ring. And I was thinking, how did that motherfucker
18:26
Speaker 1: do it in one night? Let's be real here. True.
18:28
Speaker 1: That was one grab I had. Like, this is like...
18:31
Speaker 1: They don't even have electricity, bro.
18:35
Speaker 3: And he replicated the amulet too after, like, perfectly.
18:38
Speaker 1: The amulet? Yeah. Didn't he?
18:39
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he did. To make a one-for-one replica.
18:43
Speaker 3: And then they're hiding it so she doesn't wear it
18:44
Speaker 3: all the time. Wasn't it?
18:46
Speaker 1: Oh, not that I know of.
18:47
Speaker 3: I swear I haven't.
18:47
Speaker 1: I want to miss that. But amulet... They hid the amulet, obviously. Okay, so...
18:52
Speaker 1: Next day.
18:53
Speaker 3: Next day.
18:57
Speaker 1: Oh, so chapter 45, we have a Dorian chapter. And
19:00
Speaker 1: these are like so short. These are like a page.
19:03
Speaker 1: And so it says, Dorian watches helplessly, of course, while
19:06
Speaker 1: fucking the demon tortures a man, which is unfortunate. Anyway, cool.
19:11
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a man we're supposed
19:12
Speaker 1: to know, but I'm pretty sure it's a fucking rebel. Cool.
19:16
Speaker 1: All right. Selina gets called to the Assassin's Keep. We're
19:21
Speaker 1: on 46. We're at the Assassin's Keep. Everyone's like, bro,
19:25
Speaker 1: Erebon's dead, she looks, she acts as if, like, she
19:27
Speaker 1: has no idea what's happened, obviously, goes over to Lysandra
19:30
Speaker 1: and Clarice, and is like, you fucking whores, get out
19:32
Speaker 1: of this house, like, what are you doing here, actually,
19:35
Speaker 1: maybe you did it, blah, blah, blah, anyway, she goes down, right, oh, no,
19:41
Speaker 1: hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, this is, okay,
19:43
Speaker 1: this is sick, the master of the bank, he rocks up,
19:47
Speaker 1: and she goes, and so, she tells Clarice to leave,
19:49
Speaker 1: and she goes if you don't mind I want to
19:51
Speaker 1: be here because Arobin said we were mentioned in his
19:53
Speaker 1: will she goes you fucking dirty bitch anyway she's like
19:58
Speaker 1: you dirty bitch but whatever old mate master comes over
20:02
Speaker 1: bank master and he reads out Arobin's wealthy bro businesses

Speaker 1: he goes and it's like i arab and hamill leave

Speaker 1: sardine or whatever and um everyone's like what the fucking

Speaker 1: selena axel shocked like what calise is like what and
20:33
Speaker 1: then um The only thing Clarice got was just like
20:36
Speaker 1: any debts that he had for having Lysandra for an
20:38
Speaker 1: amount of time or whatever. And so technically she was mentioned.
20:42
Speaker 1: And then she's like, so this is my house. All
20:46
Speaker 1: this money, everything's mine. And the bankmaster's like, yeah, we've
20:50
Speaker 1: double checked. We've got all the things, blah, blah, blah.
20:51
Speaker 1: It's like, it's all yours. It's all legit. So she
20:54
Speaker 1: kicks everyone out. There's three assassins there. They're like, where
20:59
Speaker 1: are we going? She's like, I don't give a fuck.
21:00
Speaker 1: You guys have all been fucked to me. You didn't
21:02
Speaker 1: help Sam the night he died. You didn't do this.
21:03
Speaker 1: You didn't do this. You didn't do this, whatever. They're like,
21:05
Speaker 1: but where will we go? And then one of them's like,
21:07
Speaker 1: what can we do? And then she goes, well, I
21:09
Speaker 1: could sell you this house at a fair price. The
21:13
Speaker 1: bank master's like, hey, I could get that written up
21:14
Speaker 1: in a couple of hours. And so the other assassins
21:16
Speaker 1: are like, fuck. So they're going to buy the house
21:18
Speaker 1: off her. And so then she goes down and she says,
21:23
Speaker 1: I want to see Arobin. They take her down to
21:24
Speaker 1: a cell and that's where his dead body is, right?
21:27
Speaker 1: And he's like, like sandra straight up slid his throat
21:29
Speaker 1: in a way where it was like she slid it
21:31
Speaker 1: and watched him choke on his own blood like this
21:33
Speaker 1: motherfucker was oh my days anyway she goes down okay
21:38
Speaker 1: she goes down she's like this is my house now
21:39
Speaker 1: this is my body gets a fucking sword out beheads
21:43
Speaker 1: him kicks it to the side and just looks at
21:45
Speaker 1: rowan and goes just in case and then well and
21:53
Speaker 1: that's when part two starts that's when part one ends
21:55
Speaker 1: did you end up getting it in the audio No.
21:57
Speaker 3: No, no. I was past that. Yeah, I didn't say
21:58
Speaker 3: part one because with your video, I was like, when's
22:01
Speaker 3: part two starting? So I'm like, what's he talking about?
22:02
Speaker 1: And then we're at part two, Queen of Light, baby. So, yeah, hectic. Pretty,
22:10
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Anyway, fuck, we've got some chapters to get through.
22:13
Speaker 1: That was only to 47. Let's go through this quickly.
22:19
Speaker 1: I'm probably going to actually, I might skip the man
22:21
Speaker 1: in chapters.
22:22
Speaker 3: Just because they're just a lot of rapport.
22:24
Speaker 1: Like, here we go. Like, It's a lot of rapport. Basically,
22:30
Speaker 1: Manon beats Astrid for acting up at breakfast. She's like,
22:33
Speaker 1: you're going to get beat the next day. They do
22:35
Speaker 1: this whole thing. The witch is like, you need to
22:36
Speaker 1: be punished. It's freaking insane. And then the Duke summons
22:41
Speaker 1: Manon and demands that they have a Blackbeak for the
22:44
Speaker 1: experiments with the Vagbabies. And so he's like, you have
22:48
Speaker 1: three days to choose or else I'm choosing one and
22:50
Speaker 1: we're just going to come fucking get them. He's like,
22:52
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck who it is. I want
22:53
Speaker 1: a Blackbeak. And so.
22:57
Speaker 1: Basically, it's... She goes, rightio, I guess it is what
23:00
Speaker 1: it is, I suppose. And then her and fucking Kaltain...
23:05
Speaker 1: So the Duke says, I have a mission for you.
23:08
Speaker 1: They take the 13 witches, take the Duke, his men,
23:12
Speaker 1: plus Kaltain. They go hover over a little village. Kaltain
23:16
Speaker 1: burns the whole fucking thing, bro.
23:18
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:19
Speaker 1: Dead set insane. And then... She's, like, burnt out. So,
23:27
Speaker 1: the Duke says, Manon, get down there and finish it off. So,
23:29
Speaker 1: then they have to go down and just slaughter this village,
23:30
Speaker 1: which is fucking insane. And... And... Yeah, it's just fucked up. 49. So,
23:41
Speaker 1: Selene is talking to Adion. She's going to free magic, right?
23:44
Speaker 1: Telling him how to do it. And so, she suspects
23:47
Speaker 1: that at the shadow market that was burnt down, there
23:50
Speaker 1: was a guy there selling this, like, bomb that could just, like...
23:54
Speaker 1: One of them could like explode half the castle or
23:56
Speaker 1: some shit, right? And they're like, no, no, no, no way,
23:58
Speaker 1: no way, no way. And then the way they get
24:00
Speaker 1: the info is they go, he was an opium dealer
24:06
Speaker 1: and they went to someone that had an opium addiction
24:09
Speaker 1: that actually worked at Nezrin's father's cafe and they like
24:13
Speaker 1: her and Lysandra walk in as if they are both
24:18
Speaker 1: fucking just like rich maidens and they're looking for opium.
24:23
Speaker 1: And so then this like woman finally says like, I
24:25
Speaker 1: hear they got out of the sewers in the shadow market.
24:27
Speaker 1: Now fucking leave me alone. All right. So then she
24:29
Speaker 1: goes confirmed. Hectic. One thing I want to add to
24:32
Speaker 1: that I didn't say and I didn't claim was one
24:35
Speaker 1: of the reasons, one of my predictions was that they're
24:38
Speaker 1: going to kill Erebon and take all his money and
24:39
Speaker 1: fund their war, fund their army. And that's what they've done.
24:42
Speaker 1: And she says to Adion, when Erebon's dead. So no,
24:45
Speaker 1: when Erebon dies, she says to Adion, like, here's your money, brother.
24:48
Speaker 1: Get your fucking army.
24:49
Speaker 2: True.
24:50
Speaker 3: But we didn't know that Selene was going to get
24:52
Speaker 3: it that way.
24:53
Speaker 1: No, no, no. But I was like, I thought that
24:55
Speaker 1: they were going to use his money. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:56
Speaker 3: Good call.
24:57
Speaker 1: Hectic. So, they go to, oh, it's called Hellfire. Let's go, Hellfire. So,
25:05
Speaker 1: what they find out is that the Hellfire, which is
25:07
Speaker 1: this bomb stuff, is hidden in a catacombs, which is
25:11
Speaker 1: even lower than the sewers in Salinas. I didn't even
25:13
Speaker 1: know there was catacombs here. So, her, so, Salina, Rowan, Adion, Kael, Nesrin.
25:20
Speaker 1: I believe that's all of them. They go to these
25:22
Speaker 1: catacombs and they find the entrance to where this guy
25:24
Speaker 1: must be hiding his fucking hellfire because he would never
25:26
Speaker 1: sell it to her. She tried to buy it off
25:28
Speaker 1: him when he was alive and like still had the
25:29
Speaker 1: shadow market. He would never sell to her. So they
25:32
Speaker 1: go down. They're all like got their normal shit. Now
25:35
Speaker 1: we need to keep in mind. I want to remember.
25:36
Speaker 1: I want everyone to remember the sword of Goldron, right? Cool.
25:40
Speaker 1: So they're going down, down, down, down. They find the catacombs.
25:43
Speaker 1: It's all bones. Yuck. It's just terrifying sounding. I'm not
25:46
Speaker 1: going to lie. I was actually quite scared. They all go.
25:48
Speaker 1: They disperse and they look for The Hellfire. But then
25:52
Speaker 1: Selina and Rowan end up together. And they end up
25:54
Speaker 1: going really deep. And they're looking on the writing on
25:56
Speaker 1: the walls. And there's bones everywhere. And there's writing on
25:57
Speaker 1: the bones. And like... They're figuring out that... All these
26:01
Speaker 1: people that are dead were really bad people. And it
26:02
Speaker 1: has written on their bones what they did. Like what
26:04
Speaker 1: their sin was. It goes back 300 years. 400 years.
26:07
Speaker 1: 700 years. 900 years. Goes back to when... King... Queen Elena.
26:13
Speaker 1: Eleanor or whatever. And the King Gavin. Were... Were alive.
26:19
Speaker 1: And she has... I believe she has Gavin's sword or
26:23
Speaker 1: someone's sword. I can't, whoever's sword she found in that cave, whatever,
26:26
Speaker 1: she has someone's sword. And so she goes down and
26:30
Speaker 1: they get to this like fucking massive, like temple of
26:34
Speaker 1: bones or whatever. And it's like dated back to literally
26:38
Speaker 1: when those king, queen, blah, blah, blah, the first wars
26:40
Speaker 1: with the Valk. And then there's like these word marks
26:45
Speaker 1: that she's trying to read and she's deciphering the word marks.
26:47
Speaker 1: Rowan's like, can you read them? She starts reading them.
26:49
Speaker 1: Everyone's caught up with them now as well. Also, they
26:51
Speaker 1: found the Hellfire. Yep. And they're like, actually, come here.
26:54
Speaker 1: You might want to see this. So, she's reading all
26:56
Speaker 1: this stuff and they're talking and it's like talking about
27:00
Speaker 1: the wars, what they had to do, how there was
27:02
Speaker 1: a Valg king who had golden eyes and they couldn't
27:07
Speaker 1: kill him but they had to trap him and where
27:11
Speaker 1: they trapped him was underneath the Black Mountains or something.
27:15
Speaker 1: And then, and then Adion's kind of like, yeah, but
27:17
Speaker 1: where would that be? Like, there's nowhere in Ardalan like that.
27:20
Speaker 1: But then, Aelin says to Rowan, how would you say
27:24
Speaker 1: Black Mountains in the old language? And he says, Mora,
27:27
Speaker 1: which is where the Duke is, bro, which is where
27:30
Speaker 1: the Duke is. So we also, she's like thinking all
27:36
Speaker 1: of this was written by Gavin or for Gavin. Anyway,
27:41
Speaker 1: whoever sword she has in her back, Goldrinn, her sword,
27:43
Speaker 1: she gets her sword out. It like opens up the
27:45
Speaker 1: fucking temple or some shit. And then some mad scary
27:48
Speaker 1: shit happens. I can't really remember. Do you remember? Let
27:51
Speaker 1: me read it. So it's, yeah, it's a deathbed confession
27:54
Speaker 1: and that they did not, so they didn't destroy the king.
27:57
Speaker 1: It was the eye of Elena that put him to sleep, right?
28:02
Speaker 1: And then they built him a sarcophagus of iron, an
28:04
Speaker 1: indestructible stone and put it in Morath, of course. And then, yeah,
28:10
Speaker 1: basically what they find out, the Valk king's name is
28:13
Speaker 1: Erewhon and that the king of Ardalan is obviously trying
28:16
Speaker 1: to raise him and like awaken him. And so, We
28:19
Speaker 1: don't know why they're wigging out. Like, you know how
28:20
Speaker 1: we keep saying, why, why, why is he doing this?
28:22
Speaker 1: They're starting to be like, why though? Like, what is
28:26
Speaker 1: the point? What are they getting ready for? What are
28:28
Speaker 1: they fighting? Anyway, so they've kind of find that out.
28:33
Speaker 1: Chapter 51, Manon gets together, talks to her 13 and
28:39
Speaker 1: is like, we need to pick a coven for the Duke,
28:42
Speaker 1: a black big coven. They're all like, nah, bruh. She goes,
28:45
Speaker 1: I see you had a meeting behind my back, did you? No, no, no.
28:48
Speaker 1: Astrid again, big fight. Astrid was like, fuck, seriously, good.
28:52
Speaker 1: She's like saying shit, you know, like, what are we
28:54
Speaker 1: going to do? Like, what do we have to do?
28:58
Speaker 1: This isn't worth getting our lands back. We're not sacrificing
29:00
Speaker 1: one of our own type of thing. And I was like, yeah, well,
29:04
Speaker 1: I guess it is what it is. Oh, I forgot
29:10
Speaker 1: about this. While they're having this meeting, one of the
29:12
Speaker 1: Val commanders comes in For some reason, some of the
29:17
Speaker 1: 13 witches are like terrified of him and they all
29:19
Speaker 1: cower and start to vomit and shit. But then Manon
29:22
Speaker 1: and like the top three or whatever, they end up
29:24
Speaker 1: fighting him and killing him. But before they kill him,
29:27
Speaker 1: Manon's looking him in the eyes and like, who are you?
29:29
Speaker 1: And it's Roland. Do we all remember Roland? The prince's
29:33
Speaker 1: cousin that was like a jerk?
29:34
Speaker 3: Remember from the book one?
29:37
Speaker 1: Maybe book two?
29:38
Speaker 3: Book one or book two?
29:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. Roland is jerked. It's like very handsome, right? And
29:42
Speaker 1: he stole Cale's missus. Right. So he's got a collar on,
29:46
Speaker 1: I believe. And he has a Valk prince inside of him.
29:48
Speaker 1: And he ends up like, he's kind of coming in
29:51
Speaker 1: and out. But the Valk prince, he looks in Manon's eyes.
29:54
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, get away, get away. Like get
29:57
Speaker 1: away with those eyes. Keep that in mind. I've got
30:00
Speaker 1: a fucking.
30:01
Speaker 3: Good prediction for that.
30:01
Speaker 1: Do you want me to tell you right now?
30:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, go.
30:03
Speaker 1: Direct descendant of Erewhon, King Valg. Oh, he's Manon. I
30:06
Speaker 1: reckon Manon's direct descendant. Shit.
30:08
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh.
30:10
Speaker 1: It's got to be the truth. It ends up being
30:12
Speaker 1: told to us, basically.
30:13
Speaker 2: Okay.
30:13
Speaker 1: But if you haven't worked it out, then that's your fault. Yeah,
30:17
Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking. But then they kill him. So, yeah.
30:24
Speaker 1: I mean, Rowland's gone. I thought he was going to
30:25
Speaker 1: play a bigger part, but at least he played that part.
30:29
Speaker 3: He was in and out quick, eh?
30:31
Speaker 1: Chapter 52, Nezrin, she gets a message from Wren, who
30:36
Speaker 1: was in Heir of Fire, but he's up in Tarasin.
30:39
Speaker 1: Wren sends a message and he finds out that the
30:42
Speaker 1: king's building an army, but he has 3,000 witches with
30:45
Speaker 1: 3,000 wyverns. And fuck, Selene finds this out and she's like,
30:48
Speaker 1: oh my fucking God, they're ready to go as well,
30:51
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. But also, wait, when do we find out Oh, no,
30:58
Speaker 1: we don't find that out. Anyway, cool. Cool. Then, Selene
31:04
Speaker 1: goes for a walk. And she's just like going for
31:07
Speaker 1: a walk. Rowan's with her, right? Just chilling. But he's
31:09
Speaker 1: a bit behind her. She's trying to clear her head.
31:11
Speaker 1: She's like, what the fuck am I going to do
31:12
Speaker 1: against 3,000 witches and vipers? That's fucked up. I literally
31:14
Speaker 1: don't even know what I'm going to do. She's had
31:16
Speaker 1: a plan for everything. She doesn't have a plan for this.
31:19
Speaker 1: So then she's walking, walking, walking. Gets snuck up on
31:21
Speaker 1: by Lorcan, the boy.
31:23
Speaker 3: Lorcan, yes.
31:24
Speaker 1: Gets snuck up on by Lorcan.
31:25
Speaker 3: What do you find out about Lorcan?
31:26
Speaker 1: He's got a knife to her throat. Presses it so
31:28
Speaker 1: hard she starts bleeding.
31:28
Speaker 3: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
31:29
Speaker 1: All right. He's starting to say shit. And so what
31:34
Speaker 1: he ends up saying is that... So Rowan, he's also like,
31:37
Speaker 1: this is fucked. What am I going to do? Lorcan's
31:39
Speaker 1: too quick. If he makes a move, Slade is dead.
31:41
Speaker 1: He's like, what am I going to do? What am
31:42
Speaker 1: I going to do? He feels as though he's failed. Anyway.
31:45
Speaker 1: In the moment.
31:46
Speaker 3: Rowan got a bit wimpy in the last couple of chapters.
31:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes, bro.
31:49
Speaker 3: Real wimpy. I was thinking like this guy's untouchable. That
31:52
Speaker 3: fucking is a fan.
31:53
Speaker 1: He's perfect.
31:53
Speaker 3: I don't know.
31:55
Speaker 1: Falls in love and this guy's kind of like can't
31:57
Speaker 1: even think straight, which I guess is a thing.
31:58
Speaker 3: A man equivalent to him is like, oh no, I'm
32:00
Speaker 3: a fucking wimp now.
32:02
Speaker 1: Okay. Anyway. Lorcan goes on to say, I'm not your enemy,
32:06
Speaker 1: by the way. He's like, well, why do you have
32:08
Speaker 1: a knife to her throat? Jesus, good question. Anyway, he's like,
32:12
Speaker 1: I left Maeve. And he left Maeve. Because, oh my God, yes.
32:19
Speaker 1: He says, you guys made a huge mistake giving Maeve
32:23
Speaker 1: the ring. Like, so there was a ring with Goldrinn,
32:26
Speaker 1: the sword, and the way that Selene, like, fucking, like,
32:31
Speaker 1: Maeve kind of played Selene. I remember when Selene got
32:33
Speaker 1: Rowan to get out of his blood thing with Maeve. Like,
32:36
Speaker 1: Maeve sort of played Selene. Like, so Goldrinn, the guy,
32:39
Speaker 1: I think Gavin that held Goldrinn or whoever it was
32:41
Speaker 1: that held Goldrinn, was Maeve's lover. And so Slayna thought
32:46
Speaker 1: that the ring was going to be a good bargaining thing.
32:47
Speaker 1: But then Lorcan's like, you guys are fucking dumb. You
32:49
Speaker 1: know how old Maeve is and how long she was
32:50
Speaker 1: with this guy? Like she obviously has heirlooms from him.
32:53
Speaker 1: She doesn't give a fuck about the ring, right? You
32:56
Speaker 1: want to know why? You want to know why she
32:57
Speaker 1: let you go? Why she do all this? She's fucking
32:59
Speaker 1: playing you, bro. That ring, when paired with that sword,
33:04
Speaker 1: protects you from the Valk, Princes and Kings, whatever magic.
33:08
Speaker 1: You can't be fucking, you can't be possessed. You can't
33:11
Speaker 1: be hurt or some shit. And so Selene is like, fuck.
33:15
Speaker 1: And then I can't remember why she lets Selene go
33:17
Speaker 1: and stuff. I can't remember that. But does it say? Basically,
33:21
Speaker 1: for some reason, he is... He just like dipped after
33:25
Speaker 1: this conversation, didn't he? He sort of did, sort of didn't. So,
33:28
Speaker 1: oh no, he did dip. Basically, the reason why he has...
33:32
Speaker 1: So he stole the ring from Maeve. He stole the ring.
33:35
Speaker 1: And he said that she obviously is like mad about it.
33:40
Speaker 1: But what he's doing is he's still serving his queens.
33:42
Speaker 1: And he stole the ring because what she wants is
33:44
Speaker 1: to get all the word keys for herself. But he
33:46
Speaker 1: thinks that they are going to destroy her. And so he,
33:48
Speaker 1: in his own way, he's serving his queen by stealing
33:51
Speaker 1: the ring, giving it to Selina in hopes that maybe
33:54
Speaker 1: she can, I believe, end it all. And so the
33:57
Speaker 1: word keys can be put back. Everything's done. And then
33:59
Speaker 1: his queen Maeve will not be.
34:01
Speaker 3: To me, that seems like you've betrayed Maeve though, like
34:04
Speaker 3: in your own way. Yeah, he has.
34:05
Speaker 1: And he's like trying to twist it in a way
34:07
Speaker 1: where he's trying to serve his queen. But like, I
34:08
Speaker 1: think he's made a good sacrifice. I think Lorcan's a
34:10
Speaker 1: good guy, bro.
34:11
Speaker 3: Oh, I think he is too.
34:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:13
Speaker 3: Um because they say letter we could use.
34:15
Speaker 1: Lorcan true yeah yeah um so yeah and then he
34:21
Speaker 1: literally disappears oh wait no but he doesn't give him
34:24
Speaker 1: the ring he says I'll give you the ring if
34:26
Speaker 1: you give me the word key because what he wants
34:28
Speaker 1: to do is I think he wants to get all
34:29
Speaker 1: the word keys and then do something with them making
34:34
Speaker 1: sure Maeve doesn't get them but he just doesn't want
34:35
Speaker 1: Maeve to have them whatever um and then we have
34:39
Speaker 1: another Dorian chapter nothing now We get to find... So,
34:46
Speaker 1: we find out that Manon gets told in, like, a
34:51
Speaker 1: day or two, you're going to meet the king, his son,
34:56
Speaker 1: your grandmother. Take your 13 with you. There's a meeting
35:00
Speaker 1: in Oakwald Forest, right? Just outside of Rifthold. And what the...
35:05
Speaker 1: Your grandmother is showing the king the weapon she's made, right?
35:08
Speaker 1: And I want you there. Cool. And so.
35:13
Speaker 1: Oh, we got a little Kautain chapter, by the way.
35:17
Speaker 1: Kautain has a little inner monologue. Yeah. And so she's
35:20
Speaker 1: actually the king, the duke and all that. They think
35:25
Speaker 1: that there's a demon inside her, a vowed demon. And
35:29
Speaker 1: there was. And what it did was unlock her magic.
35:32
Speaker 1: Her magic has always been this shadow fire thing. And
35:35
Speaker 1: so she's got this inner monologue moment, right? And she
35:38
Speaker 1: actually let the demon take over. It unlocked her magic.
35:42
Speaker 1: And then she killed the demon inside of her.
35:45
Speaker 3: Lady Katana has so much power, right?
35:46
Speaker 1: Bro. She kills the fucking demon inside of her. But
35:50
Speaker 1: now she's acting as if she's still possessed. She's doing
35:52
Speaker 1: whatever the duke says. She's been biding her time. And
35:54
Speaker 1: then she's going to unleash on the guy. So Kaltan's
35:57
Speaker 1: on our fucking side. Yeah. Hectic.
35:59
Speaker 3: Hell yeah. Hectic.
36:01
Speaker 1: Does that mean Dorian can do it? No. Maybe.
36:05
Speaker 3: Because he's got all power.
36:06
Speaker 1: I have also... I'm so keen for predictions. I want
36:09
Speaker 1: to get through this. I'm so keen for predictions.
36:11
Speaker 3: Surely Dorian doesn't save himself, but.
36:13
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for predictions. Right. Let's say then, cool, whatever.
36:17
Speaker 1: She wishes to destroy them. Cool, cool, cool. Right. Evangeline
36:20
Speaker 1: shows up. Chapter 55. Evangeline shows up at Selina's place.
36:23
Speaker 1: Lysandra's been taken.
36:24
Speaker 3: They took her.
36:25
Speaker 1: They knew she was a shifter.
36:25
Speaker 3: Blah, blah, blah.
36:27
Speaker 1: Lady Clarice told them or some shit. I don't know
36:28
Speaker 1: how they found out, but.
36:29
Speaker 3: They took her. They took her.
36:30
Speaker 1: Oh my God. Oh my God. And then... Kayle, like
36:34
Speaker 1: at the same time, Kayle and Ezran, they come with
36:36
Speaker 1: news and they found out about the king going to
36:39
Speaker 1: have this meeting in Oakwood Forest. And they're taking a
36:42
Speaker 1: prisoner to be taken back to Morath. And then they're like,
36:46
Speaker 1: obviously it's Lysandra. They're going to fucking turn Lysandra's powers,
36:48
Speaker 1: the shifting powers, blah, blah, blah. Oh my God, okay.
36:51
Speaker 1: So then she's like, we have to go save her.
36:54
Speaker 1: She's like, I can't lose another friend. Lysandra's my new
36:55
Speaker 1: best friend. Like, I can't fucking do this. And she
36:57
Speaker 1: looks at Kayle and he's like, okay, I promise we're going.
37:00
Speaker 1: And he like says, in his brain, he realizes like,
37:03
Speaker 1: We have to do this, right? Okay. They go, they
37:06
Speaker 1: scope out the place. They find out where the meeting is.
37:07
Speaker 1: They get there a day. No, no. They plan it.
37:09
Speaker 1: Rowan's in charge, bro. Rowan's like, I got this shit.
37:12
Speaker 1: We're going to get it back. Don't even worry.
37:13
Speaker 3: Prove yourself, Rowan.
37:14
Speaker 1: I've got all the confidence in the world. Don't even
37:16
Speaker 1: fucking worry. So they're like, what's going to happen is
37:19
Speaker 1: obviously the witches are going to get there a day early, right?
37:22
Speaker 1: So we're going to get there an hour early. We're
37:23
Speaker 1: going to go find a place. We don't want them
37:25
Speaker 1: to send us because if we get there before them,
37:26
Speaker 1: they're going to send us blah, blah, blah. They'll move
37:27
Speaker 1: the place. They find out where it is. They get
37:29
Speaker 1: there early. They hide. The witches are there. They see them.
37:31
Speaker 1: They hear the Y-vines. They're like, holy fuck. I'm fucking
37:36
Speaker 1: going off there. Whatever. And so they get there and
37:41
Speaker 1: I'm like heart beating at this point. I'm not going
37:42
Speaker 1: to lie to you. I'm like, holy, this is actually hectic.
37:44
Speaker 1: They're doing a heist for a human, right?
37:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
37:47
Speaker 1: So the plan is Adion, Nezrin, they scope around the
37:53
Speaker 1: back and then they like distract everyone. They get everyone
37:56
Speaker 1: to turn around and be like, what the fuck? They
37:57
Speaker 1: get everyone to wig out a bit, right? And so
37:59
Speaker 1: what happens is, Manon, they land, they get the place
38:05
Speaker 1: scoped out. Her grandmother arrives, King arrives, right? And so
38:10
Speaker 1: they're all there. And we kind of get like a
38:11
Speaker 1: mixed match of like Manon POV, this POV, and then
38:14
Speaker 1: Selena POV. And so it's like the POV of the
38:15
Speaker 1: people at the meeting, the POV of the people going
38:17
Speaker 1: to do the heist. It's actually really sick, so cool.
38:20
Speaker 1: And so then what happens is there's like this meeting.
38:24
Speaker 1: The king talks to Manon's grandmother and then talks to
38:27
Speaker 1: Manon and Manon's kind of like a bitch to him.
38:29
Speaker 1: But then he's kind of like, we chose our wing leader. Well,
38:31
Speaker 1: like I like your daughter, your granddaughter type shit. He's like,
38:33
Speaker 1: really likes Manon. And then the king and his grandmother
38:37
Speaker 1: go into this like caravan type thing and she's showing
38:40
Speaker 1: the king the weapon. And then the king says to Manon,
38:43
Speaker 1: my son will entertain you. She goes over and talks
38:46
Speaker 1: to the son, obviously not human, right? But, The demon
38:51
Speaker 1: in his head, we get a Dorian POV, the demon
38:53
Speaker 1: in his head is like those gold eyes, those gold eyes.
38:55
Speaker 1: I don't know how you didn't get it, mate. I
38:57
Speaker 1: don't know how you didn't fucking get those gold eyes,
38:59
Speaker 1: those gold eyes, like that white hair, the moon white
39:00
Speaker 1: hair or whatever. Also, the most beautiful woman or witch,
39:06
Speaker 1: but woman he's ever seen. But she's so beautiful, it
39:12
Speaker 1: snaps Dorian back to reality for a second and the
39:14
Speaker 1: demon's scared and he comes back. And he's being himself.
39:16
Speaker 1: He doesn't really remember his name. And she's like, what's
39:18
Speaker 1: your name, Prince? And he's like, I don't remember. And
39:20
Speaker 1: he said, but then he goes, oh, it's Dorian. And
39:21
Speaker 1: then he's like flirting with her, bro. And Selena and
39:24
Speaker 1: Kale have a little POV of like, did he just? Nah,
39:28
Speaker 1: no way, no way. Did he just?
39:29
Speaker 3: Is he still in?
39:30
Speaker 2: In there is he still in there is he still
39:31
Speaker 2: in there type shit okay boom boom boom anyway they're.
39:35
Speaker 1: Chitty chatting now Adion and Wotsi Nezrin they make the
39:40
Speaker 1: distraction Rowan Selene slip in they get Lysandra out boom
39:44
Speaker 1: give it to Kayle Kayle knows this place like nothing

Speaker 1: don't know, for the wait to be the same. Cool.
39:58
Speaker 1: King leaves. Grandmother leaves. And also talks some magic to

Speaker 1: Madden of like, just like fucking control yourself. Stop being

Speaker 1: a stupid little baby. Wah, wah. Like, we're doing this.
40:09
Speaker 1: You will listen to me. Don't question anything. Do what
40:11
Speaker 1: the Duke wants. Blah, blah, blah. And Madden's like, oh, Christ. So,
40:16
Speaker 1: they go back to where Lysandra and Kale are supposed
40:18
Speaker 1: to be. Kale's gone. And Kael's plan is to chase
40:22
Speaker 1: down the king and his men and kill Dorian. Yeah.
40:25
Speaker 3: He's like, someone's got to do it.
40:27
Speaker 1: Dorian is not in there, bro. I got to kill
40:30
Speaker 1: this guy.
40:30
Speaker 3: Switch up from the only one who's like, no, you
40:32
Speaker 3: can't kill him.
40:33
Speaker 1: I know. Anywho.
40:34
Speaker 3: Just after we find out he's actually in there.
40:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. And like, and they don't believe that they saw
40:38
Speaker 1: him still in there. So, goes trying to kill Dorian.
40:41
Speaker 1: Kael's running off. And anyway, he takes a wrong turn.
40:46
Speaker 1: So then, And they say to Lysandra, where's Kayle? And
40:49
Speaker 1: she's like, I don't know. He just ran that way, blah, blah, blah. So,
40:52
Speaker 1: I believe we've got Lysandra and Nezrin. They've stayed back. Rowan, Slayna, Adion,
40:59
Speaker 1: they've chased Kayle. And they get to a point and
41:01
Speaker 1: Rowan's sending him to chase him. And Slayna's like, oh
41:05
Speaker 1: my God, he took a wrong turn. Kayle, he runs
41:08
Speaker 1: into this open field, but he runs into Madden in
41:11
Speaker 1: the 13. And she's like, oh, well, what do we
41:13
Speaker 1: have here? Slayna runs out with Rowan in that and
41:16
Speaker 1: is like.
41:16
Speaker 3: Oh, Fuck!
41:18
Speaker 1: Brothers!
41:18
Speaker 3: They're all fucking tired, bro!
41:22
Speaker 1: Anyway. And then they're chatting. Manon looks at Rowan and
41:25
Speaker 1: is like, fuck, I haven't seen one of you guys
41:27
Speaker 1: for a while. And then in Manon's head, she's like, fuck,
41:29
Speaker 1: this guy is dangerous.
41:31
Speaker 3: I can tell.
41:31
Speaker 1: This guy's legit. You can tell. She's like, maybe killable,
41:34
Speaker 1: but we're going to lose a couple of our 13
41:36
Speaker 1: if we try, type shit. And so she's talking about
41:41
Speaker 1: killing Kael and this, that, the other. And she's like,
41:43
Speaker 1: where's my prisoner? And she's like, you know, none of
41:47
Speaker 1: your business. But then Selena, she steps up and she
41:53
Speaker 1: is like saying, take me, you'll want me instead, instead
41:59
Speaker 1: of Kale. She goes, why would I want you? Who
42:01
Speaker 1: the fuck are you? And she goes, I'm Alan Galathineus.
42:03
Speaker 1: And Madden's kind of like, hey, Elite spoke about you.
42:07
Speaker 1: Elite spoke about you, you're real. What will I tell Elite?
42:10
Speaker 1: And then in the Madden's POV, Selene is like doing
42:14
Speaker 1: this weird fidgety thing with her foot and I'm like
42:15
Speaker 1: obviously she's doing a word mark fucking oath brother but
42:18
Speaker 1: she's like obviously doing a word mark Manon doesn't know
42:21
Speaker 1: what she's doing but cool cool cool and so then
42:23
Speaker 1: she actually Manon actually ends up saying fuck yes you
42:25
Speaker 1: can have him alright I just can't we can't be
42:28
Speaker 1: bothered to fight today we got shit to fucking we
42:30
Speaker 1: got bigger fish to fry back at Morath sister and
42:33
Speaker 1: so then Selene goes I don't know why Selene said
42:37
Speaker 1: this because I she said that she did this because
42:40
Speaker 1: she knew for a fact that witches weren't going to
42:41
Speaker 1: let them go without a fight but Anyway, I don't
42:43
Speaker 1: know why she did this. Ballsy. Ballsy as fuck. She goes, oh, um,
42:48
Speaker 1: like she, she basically in the fucking funniest way possible
42:52
Speaker 1: tells them that she, she's like, you know that, you know,
42:55
Speaker 1: Bobby yellow legs.
42:56
Speaker 3: It was like, probably good. You let us leave because
42:58
Speaker 3: you know, true.
42:58
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's probably good. You're going to let us leave
43:00
Speaker 1: because you know, all mate, you know, all matron Bobby
43:03
Speaker 1: yellow legs.
43:03
Speaker 3: Your best mate.
43:04
Speaker 1: And then Manning goes, what do you know of Bobby
43:07
Speaker 1: yellow legs? So then it's like, what do I know?
43:09
Speaker 1: I mean, I know if you cut her head off,
43:10
Speaker 1: she dies. I don't know if that's what she said,
43:13
Speaker 1: but it would have been sick if she did. She's like,
43:14
Speaker 1: that was all me. And then she like shows her
43:16
Speaker 1: scars that Baba Yellowlegs gave Selina. And Manon's like, those
43:21
Speaker 1: are definitely the scars of a witch. Like the rust
43:23
Speaker 1: in the fucking scars because of their like iron things.
43:27
Speaker 1: So then Manon pounces. Selina backs up. The word mark
43:33
Speaker 1: holds Manon.
43:34
Speaker 3: They all bolt.
43:35
Speaker 1: Edeon's like, doing, bro. Why did you say that? They
43:39
Speaker 1: were going to let us go. And she's like, they
43:41
Speaker 1: weren't going to let us go. Trust me, trust me.
43:44
Speaker 3: I've dealt with witches before.
43:45
Speaker 1: So they start running. And then the word mark's not
43:50
Speaker 1: going to hold for very long. But the other 13,
43:51
Speaker 1: they don't chase him yet because they're like, what the
43:53
Speaker 1: fuck's wrong with Manon? She's stuck in place. So they run.
43:56
Speaker 1: They hear this massive roar.
43:58
Speaker 3: Sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint.
43:59
Speaker 1: They get to, like, two... There's, like, this big ravine.
44:02
Speaker 1: And there's, like... In the middle of this big ravine
44:05
Speaker 1: is just, like, a tower. That's just, like, a watchtower. It's, like,
44:08
Speaker 1: a temple. And there's a drawbridge to one. Like, it's just, like,
44:10
Speaker 1: one of those timber bridges off to it. And then
44:13
Speaker 1: off it to the other side of the ravine, right?
44:14
Speaker 1: They run across. Selene and Rowan are last. Selene runs.
44:18
Speaker 1: Rowan's about to go. And then... The witches are just, like,
44:21
Speaker 1: obviously beast fighters and so fast and shit. And so...
44:26
Speaker 1: Aiden's on the other side with his bow cocked, ready
44:28
Speaker 1: to shoot. Manon, she gets there. She jumps. Aiden shoots,
44:32
Speaker 1: but she's too quick. It misses. And then one of
44:35
Speaker 1: the Yellowlegs Witches, no, sorry, one of the Blackbeard come 13.
44:38
Speaker 1: They shoot an arrow at Aiden. It's going straight for
44:41
Speaker 1: her heart. Rowan dives in, goes straight through his shoulder,
44:45
Speaker 1: and he roars. And then the chapter ends. And that's
44:47
Speaker 1: where we finish. Oh, boy. Oh, my days. Oh. Boy,
44:51
Speaker 1: that was a lot.
44:52
Speaker 3: That was a lot. Very, very good from you, my friend.
44:55
Speaker 3: That was fucking amazing.
44:56
Speaker 1: It's kind of funner for me if I like... I'm thinking...
44:59
Speaker 1: It's a bit funner for me when I'm not like, okay,
45:02
Speaker 1: chapter this, chapter this. I'm just like, fuck, I gotta go,
45:03
Speaker 1: I gotta go, I gotta go. I probably miss stuff.
45:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's good because we relive it with you.
45:08
Speaker 3: I relive that with you when I'm right here. It's amazing. Shit,
45:11
Speaker 3: so how's this book gonna end, man? There's so much
45:14
Speaker 3: going on.
45:15
Speaker 1: The comments on my posts are like, you're not even
45:18
Speaker 1: anywhere near done the rollercoaster of emotions.
45:20
Speaker 3: Really?
45:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fucked.
45:21
Speaker 3: And there's not that many, well, there's a fair few
45:24
Speaker 3: chapters left. There's about 30, but they're not that long.
45:27
Speaker 1: Obviously, we're finishing the book next week. Next week?
45:31
Speaker 2: Yes, please.
45:38
Speaker 3: You're asking a lot from me there, friend. Oh, you're
45:42
Speaker 3: lucky we're recording earlier this week. I could probably do it.
45:44
Speaker 1: Yes.
45:49
Speaker 3: All right. So we're feeling good. Predictions. Feeling great. I
45:54
Speaker 3: don't like this book. I've been good at predictions, but
45:57
Speaker 3: this book, I am not good at all.
45:58
Speaker 1: I feel like I've nailed a couple.
46:00
Speaker 3: You have nailed a couple.
46:01
Speaker 1: I have a humongous, humongous, humongous prediction. I don't know
46:05
Speaker 1: if it's going to happen or not, though.
46:07
Speaker 3: I'm going to start. Dorian with these weird little one
46:10
Speaker 3: chapter POVs.
46:12
Speaker 1: Killing me.
46:12
Speaker 3: Do you think he saves himself?
46:15
Speaker 1: I think that because, so he's going to end up letting,
46:19
Speaker 1: he's going to do what Kaltain did. He's going to
46:21
Speaker 1: figure it out as well. So what Kaltain figured out
46:23
Speaker 1: was that if she lets the, if she can make
46:26
Speaker 1: it look like she can cower into this whole separate
46:28
Speaker 1: corner of her mind where the demon believes that she's
46:30
Speaker 1: fully gone and he's gained full control. She then, that's
46:33
Speaker 1: when like the king is like, cool. The demon says
46:35
Speaker 1: to the king, all right, cool. I've got her, she's gone.
46:38
Speaker 1: And then the king goes, cool, I'll unlock her powers
46:40
Speaker 1: for you to use. And then her powers are unlocked
46:43
Speaker 1: and then she comes back and she kills the demon
46:45
Speaker 1: inside of her. And then she's back. And I think
46:48
Speaker 1: Dorian's going to figure out that he can do that
46:50
Speaker 1: because what's going to happen is he's going to go,
46:52
Speaker 1: I'm done. The thing's got me. I'm fully done. I'm
46:55
Speaker 1: just going to go into a corner of my mind
46:57
Speaker 1: and just mind my own business. I'm not even going
46:59
Speaker 1: to try to come out. The Valg's going to go
47:01
Speaker 1: to the king. He's going to say, bro, your son's gone.
47:03
Speaker 1: Give me his powers. Because he's got like raw power.
47:06
Speaker 1: And the king's going to go, cool, here's his powers.
47:08
Speaker 1: Dorian's going to be like, what the hell is that?
47:10
Speaker 1: I feel kind of like, I feel some fucking something
47:12
Speaker 1: in me. And then he's going to be like, my
47:14
Speaker 1: powers have been unlocked. And so then he's going to
47:17
Speaker 1: get access to his powers and he's going to kill
47:19
Speaker 1: the demon within and he's going to be himself again.
47:21
Speaker 1: He's going to get himself out.
47:24
Speaker 3: That's better than my prediction. I was going to say,
47:27
Speaker 3: so Manon's power is what initially got Dorian out for
47:31
Speaker 3: a second. Manon's going to change sides and realize, I
47:34
Speaker 3: don't want to work with the king. I hate Duke Parrington.
47:35
Speaker 3: What can I do to plan against him I'm going
47:37
Speaker 3: to get his son out and because I get his
47:39
Speaker 3: son out she'll work he will work with me to
47:41
Speaker 3: plan against the king.
47:43
Speaker 1: That's actually really that'd be a cool storyline in all
47:45
Speaker 1: honesty your one seems like it's more feasible after the
47:47
Speaker 1: teasers but you want to know what I like about
47:49
Speaker 1: yours is my next prediction is that Dorian and Madden
47:53
Speaker 1: fall in love that's what.
47:54
Speaker 3: I was going to say yes from that yes because
47:56
Speaker 3: Dorian like he's already fucking I don't like how.
47:59
Speaker 2: Fucking Dorian's just a bit weird though because he's human
48:02
Speaker 2: right he's full human with magic and like humans have
48:05
Speaker 2: magic so he's full human with magic She straight up
48:07
Speaker 2: eats and drinks men's blood.
48:10
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that will happen, but I
48:11
Speaker 1: think that that might happen.
48:12
Speaker 3: Do you think Madeline's grandma is like possessed in some way?
48:16
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think she's fucked though.
48:17
Speaker 3: I hate her guts. The way she was acting when
48:19
Speaker 3: she was speaking to Madeline, I was like, does she
48:21
Speaker 3: have like a fucking, I don't know, cholera or some
48:23
Speaker 3: shit or a ring?
48:24
Speaker 1: Bro, I don't know. We might find out some way
48:26
Speaker 1: that she does, but I fucking hate her guts.
48:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's annoying, eh? Okay, that's Dorian. And then.
48:33
Speaker 3: I don't know.
48:34
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen.
48:36
Speaker 3: So they get away, obviously. That arrow's probably got poison
48:39
Speaker 3: in it, and then they've got to go through a
48:40
Speaker 3: way of getting the poison out or some shit.
48:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to be so annoyed if Rowan gets nerfed.
48:45
Speaker 3: Surely not from that arrow. They're going to tee up
48:48
Speaker 3: with Lorcan for some reason.
48:50
Speaker 1: For some reason, I believe.
48:51
Speaker 3: Well, then you get the ring still.
48:52
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe they'll make a replica of the Amulet of Orenth,
49:00
Speaker 1: which is the word key.
49:01
Speaker 3: I thought they made, I swear they made a replica
49:04
Speaker 3: of her amulet she wears for some reason.
49:06
Speaker 1: I don't know. She wears the eye of Elena.
49:08
Speaker 3: Yeah. I swear, maybe it was a word key. I swear,
49:11
Speaker 3: because when they got the ring, they made something else.
49:13
Speaker 3: I swear Rowan's like.
49:14
Speaker 1: Dude, they might fucking make, they might try and trick Lorcan.
49:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.
49:18
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
49:18
Speaker 3: No, Lorcan's good.
49:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's good.
49:20
Speaker 1: Come good.
49:20
Speaker 3: I think Lorcan's good.
49:20
Speaker 1: The reason he's there... Why do we like him so much?
49:22
Speaker 1: I just have this vibe from him. I don't know.
49:25
Speaker 3: Baddies... On Patreon, a lot of the baddies have been
49:27
Speaker 3: sending in... I don't know what you'd call them, drawings
49:30
Speaker 3: or animated photos of the characters. It's really helping with
49:33
Speaker 3: my imagination. I can picture Madden really well now.
49:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
49:37
Speaker 1: I still picture a black hair.
49:38
Speaker 3: I can't picture Lorcan at the moment, though. He's kind
49:40
Speaker 3: of like the Witcher is what I see Lorcan as.
49:42
Speaker 3: I don't know if he looks like that.
49:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think he's got black hair instead of white. Yeah,
49:45
Speaker 1: fuck the hair.
49:47
Speaker 3: I know he's the most handsome when they met.
49:50
Speaker 1: She's like, hey, he's hella handsome.
49:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I pictured Henry Cavill or whatever.
49:55
Speaker 1: And obviously, I really think that the cadre is going
49:58
Speaker 1: to come and be on our side. I don't know
50:01
Speaker 1: how I feel anymore about going to war with Maeve
50:04
Speaker 1: before the king. I'm not sure about that.
50:06
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it seemed like they have to go to
50:08
Speaker 3: Maeve first.
50:09
Speaker 1: Because Lorcan did say something about this. I forgot. He
50:12
Speaker 1: said something about Queen Maeve's so spiteful she'll join the
50:15
Speaker 1: king just to fucking get you or something. I don't know.
50:19
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think they will do that,
50:21
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. And then
50:24
Speaker 3: do they save? I have no idea. Cause I'm going
50:26
Speaker 3: to say this door, there's a Dorian chapter happen next.
50:29
Speaker 3: And then that's how Manon and Dorian team up. And
50:30
Speaker 3: they sort of meet up with Salina and be like,
50:32
Speaker 3: we've got to go against the King to win the
50:34
Speaker 3: witches back.
50:35
Speaker 1: I don't know. Part of me thinks that like this
50:37
Speaker 1: whole fight that the 13 and like Salina and her
50:39
Speaker 1: little crew right now are having, right. And we're about
50:41
Speaker 1: to finish reading obviously is so Rowan gets hit and
50:47
Speaker 1: then he's going to go down, but, I just don't
50:51
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen next. Like, do they get
50:53
Speaker 1: caught by the 13? No, I don't reckon. It's just like....
50:58
Speaker 3: And this guy that they're trying to release from the mountain.
51:01
Speaker 1: The king of the Vowgs, brother.
51:04
Speaker 3: The king of the Vowgs.
51:06
Speaker 1: Is he.
51:06
Speaker 3: What power does he bring to.
51:07
Speaker 1: Probably just all of it.
51:09
Speaker 3: Like the Vowg once he's out.
51:12
Speaker 1: I dare say he can fully control them and he's
51:14
Speaker 1: a really good just like....
51:16
Speaker 3: And do you think they get him out?
51:18
Speaker 1: Yeah.
51:20
Speaker 3: And I don't know where it goes from there. Like
51:21
Speaker 3: the king has such a big army.
51:24
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to release magic. Yeah. So something's going
51:27
Speaker 1: to happen when magic's released. Like people are going to
51:29
Speaker 1: come to aid.
51:29
Speaker 3: I don't know.
51:30
Speaker 1: Something like that. Selene is also like, we have to
51:32
Speaker 1: remember Selene is magic, bro.
51:35
Speaker 3: It's basically turning into Prithian.
51:36
Speaker 1: She, she, yeah. Selene's magic is like with her, without
51:40
Speaker 1: her magic, no match for Lorcan and Rowan. With her magic,
51:43
Speaker 1: it's been said that she's like a match. So she's
51:46
Speaker 1: fucking crazy, bro. She's got this like relentless fire magic. Yeah, shit.
51:51
Speaker 1: I don't know where it's going to go. Dorian's magic
51:52
Speaker 1: is like full raw magic. We've got to remember that.
51:55
Speaker 3: Dorian can't control it, but can he? Very well.
51:57
Speaker 1: No, no, no. He couldn't. He was trying not to
51:58
Speaker 1: let it come out. Yeah.
52:00
Speaker 3: And what is Lysandra? Lysandra is the shapeshifter. So she's
52:06
Speaker 3: going to play a massive part, I think. Do they
52:08
Speaker 3: go against Lorcan and steal the ring back?
52:11
Speaker 1: Here's what's going to happen. There's going to be a
52:13
Speaker 1: scene in the show, right? The show. There's going to
52:16
Speaker 1: be a scene in the show in our minds. I
52:17
Speaker 1: don't know what book it's going to happen. It could
52:18
Speaker 1: happen in this book. But it's going to be when
52:20
Speaker 1: magic's released, right? There's going to be a scene where
52:25
Speaker 1: Selena and crew believe that they're caught by someone important.
52:28
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the king. Maybe it's this. Maybe it's that, right?
52:31
Speaker 1: They're going to be like, oh, no, we're caught. And
52:34
Speaker 1: then what's going to happen is whoever it is is
52:38
Speaker 1: going to shift back into Lysandra. And we're all going
52:40
Speaker 1: to be like holding on to our fucking nuts and
52:42
Speaker 1: then like be able to let go. But I don't know.
52:44
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's what's going to happen because
52:46
Speaker 1: she's a shifter.
52:46
Speaker 3: It makes me think she's going to shift into Manon.
52:49
Speaker 1: I have a feeling, you know, who I think she's
52:50
Speaker 1: going to shift into to try and get information out
52:52
Speaker 1: of someone is Erebon.
52:54
Speaker 3: But doesn't it.
52:54
Speaker 1: Oh, I suppose maybe they haven't... Bro, there was the
52:58
Speaker 1: loudest noise outside. It sounded like a car just crashed.
53:01
Speaker 1: What is that noise?
53:02
Speaker 3: I don't know. It sounds like someone's crashing a car
53:05
Speaker 3: into the garage door.
53:05
Speaker 1: It sounds like someone's got a fucking hammer and they're
53:07
Speaker 1: just banging on our door. Okay. We'll finish the book five. Yes.
