i dunno, if i was abeke (or rollan, or any of them), knowing shane was out there somewhere, i would be constantly looking over my shoulder waiting for him to reappear. so the moment a mysterious masked dude shows up and saves my life, i'm asking myself, even if only for a moment, "what if?"

i find it hard to believe that abeke and rollan didn't at least suspect that king was really shane before he revealed himself. like, i dunno. i get that king's redcloak disguise was supposed to be really good. and it had been a while since they'd seen him last. but if 11 y/o me could figure it out in immortal guardians, surely abeke could?

it would have been so cool if there'd been a part where the thought started to form in abeke's head. or she talked to rollan about it. and isn't rollan's whole thing supposed to be intuition? maybe he'd raise the possibility before abeke, who might have written off her suspicions as her just being paranoid and emotional. idk. just a thought.

#i'm just saying the idea should have popped into her head at least once #a year is not that much time and we know abeke still thinks of him as of immortal guardians #for the sake of suspense she didn't have to explicitly name him #there could've been a moment where she just thinks #“i wonder...” “could it be...?” but brushes the thought off before she can finish #maybe for the reasons you gave #although!#i like to think abeke's feelings towards shane at this point in time are very complex. she has grown past the pure hatred she showed him #in the evertree‚ and has thought long and hard about his monologue during their fight #granted we are not shown that. we don't get the chance to see how her perspective may have changed in that year #but to me‚ she comes to reflect on what he said. she comes to admit that things are not so black and white. and her opinion of him changes #she is still very angry and hurt ofc. but she doesn't believe he is all bad. she doesn't believe he is incapable of doing a good thing #she never really did #so to me‚ she wouldn't rule out the possibility of king being shane just bc he is helping them #(or bc he is fighting zerif. we know they ended on a poor note - abeke herself points out that what zerif did to shane was a betrayal)#after all‚ she remembers what shane said. i'm sorry. i want to be worthy. i didn't want to lose you.#she saw him fight on their side at the evertree‚ and she saw him run without engaging them any further - without attacking when #their guard was down #she knows he isn't all bad‚ and she knows (if not in her head yet‚ then in her heart) that he wasn't lying to her that day #she doesn't know if this masked stranger is truly him. but she can't help but wonder #tldr; respectfully agree to disagree!#i got way too carried away it is 1am #text #spirit animals #spirit animals books #spirit animals series #spirit animals rewrite #shane #abeke #rollan
