'The egg needs to be born from true love'

Contains spoilers to Book 7 in Twisted Wonderland

Exactly. Born.

Being born is like being hatched, not being in the egg or created. Being born is being released to the outside world, not being protected from it by a shell or skin (in humans case).

What I mean to say is, does an egg not have to be made from true love?

Sure, Meleanor and Levan did loved each other, but when they both were gone, the egg was starting to slowly die.

It's not about the creation of him, it's about the lack of love.

The love that managed to make Malleus hatch was Lilia's true love.

It wasn't the eggs parents love, but it was love strong enough to make it hatch.

So that makes me wonder, does creating an egg need true love? Or does the hatching need it and you can create one without it?

Since keeping it alive is so very hard, that one could call it impossible without true love. Since we've seen how hard it was even for Maleficia to keep Malleus alive.

But if you only could do it with true love, would the Senate really keep on insisting on marrying Draconias off to others to make connections?

If they couldn't make an egg, the Draconias would be extinct, right? The heir was also their priority, since they rather disliked Meleanor for her actions towards them.

But if theoretically love is needed only for hatching and not creating it, could it be that a mother's love for their child would be enough make them hatch?

Of course it would have to be love storing enough for a child to hatch, but that's not impossible, is it?

Without true love to a partner, could Meleanor make Malleus hatch, if he were to be a son of some random royalty? Could she do it with a mathernal love?

Since dragons are very passionate, a mother even if hated the father, would still take the best of care for her child.

But can one person's love, be strong enough hatch an egg? Yes. Lilia did it. Did it, with Malleus.

It wasn't Malleus's parents nor his relatives, but a true and honest love that made him hatch.

Looking at the blood-relations he was a complete stranger and yet, the only thing needed was love.

Love from one person.

Love strong enough. A mother's love for their child is unconditional, so that surely should be enough?

If one person, a complete stranger can make a child hatch, then why can't his mother?

So my interpretation of it is that the egg doesn't have to be created with love, but needs to be hatched with one.

Fae's wouldn't throw themselves at each other to make children they can't hatch, so they were doing it only with the loved ones.

To be sure that the child could survive with the love it would get, no matter what could happen to one of the parents, they still would have the other one to look after the egg.

But even with both parents gone, the child still can hatch with love. It doesn't even have to be their parents' affection.

That's why the Senate wasn't afraid of the end of the Draconias bloodline, they eventually knew that, no matter how prideful Meleanor is, she would make her child hatch. No matter the cost.

Just as she sacrificed herself for Malleus when he was in egg, was a statement at how much she loved her child. She would do it over and over again if needed, her love would surely be enough. Even without Levan.

And the fact that Maleficia also used magic instead of love to keep Malleus alive for as long as possible.

So, keeping the egg alive haven't needed love (even tho it was slowly dying), but could hold on themselves for a while with only magic.

It's one of my late night rambles so don't take it too seriously. It was only my what if, since the Senate wouldn't let Draconias die this easily. Besides it's only what if, I hope it hasn't hurt anyone or hasn't made anyone enraged.

Always wrecks me up that Meleanor is as forgotten as Knight of Dawn is, that even her son doesn't remember her.

Just like Silver, Lilia didn't inform him of his identity as a Silver Owl so that Silver can live without guilt of the atrocities his original kingdom did.

But, I think, in Malleus' case, Lilia and Maleficia (I think) didn't inform him too much about Meleanor's demise, not so much because they don't want to guilt Malleus about her sacrifice to him, that's a part of it, but I also think it was more so that his hatred for humans wouldn't go deeper. Especially since he was raised in the castle with only the Senates and pure faes who has limited interaction with humans, so naturally he grew disliking humans too (until he met Silver).

As we know, Malleus is very attached to his past, that's why in Book 7, he's having a hard time to let go. Even his interests mirrors his tight attachment to the past, i.e his fascination on history, ruins, antiques, abandoned places, etc.

I think in an alternate reality where he had knew about every detail that happened on Meleanor and Levan and the faes on Wild rose Castle basically, his view on humankind would be even more negative. He might even reject his invitation on NRC just like Gen. Lilia did. And, unlike Lilia, since Malleus always attaches to the past and not on the possible future, he might even never give chance that he can get along with humans.

I know its popular analysis that Meleanor and Malleus are different, but to me, they're fundamentally the same person, just raised in a different environment. Meleanor was never given a chance to see a good side of the humans, Malleus was like that for a bit, even in NRC, he still held his deep rooted belief that he really doesn't believe that humans would understand faes as Lilia hopes (Dorm Uniform Vignette). Malleus and Meleanor are the "same person" but Malleus just "had the chance to not know" the entire history of it, so that he can form his own opinion about it as he grows up.

Even if he grew up knowing it, it would be immature to stay on his hatred for humans for so long (I think Malleus would do this considering his trait of being attached to the past) and I think Lilia and Maleficia didnt want Malleus to grow up like that,, they must usher him to a better future yk.

Its just that its tragic that for Malleus to grow up and take a chance towards a better future, he has to forget major things about his mother and all the sacrifices that his family made, just so he wouldn't be "stuck with it. "

Maybe in a reality where Malleus does know every detail of his history, but just that, it would take a long time for him to let go of his guilt and hatred, that by the time he's ready to forgive humankind, Lilia might not be there to guide him anymore.

I think I read an analysis back then (or was it a legit line in game?? lol) that Malleus shouldve been in Briar Valley for just a bit longer instead of suddenly transferring to NRC where there'll be too many culture shock for him, he's just not entirely capable yet of balancing his feelings and power, but I think Maleficia/Lilia couldn't afford to have that much time to emotionally grow Malleus in Briar Valley, for the reason that by the time Malleus would be in control of his power and feelings, Lilia wouldn't be there anymore to guard him in NRC and guide him about human culture. (He says his magic weakens over the years)

I feel like Maleficia only agreed to take Malleus to NRC bcs Lilia will be there, he's the perfect guide for Malleus to have with in NRC, he's strong so he can physically protect him while also being a wise person that can teach Malleus about understanding humans while still upholding his fae values. Other guards wouldn't be suitable. Silver and Sebek are not fully trained, Baul is an advisor now not a soldier and he wouldn't be a great guide to have in human society lol So, she has to take that chance while Lilia is still here, even if Malleus is just "too young."

side note: what if thats also the reason why Maleficia let go of Meleanor to Wild Rose Castle alkfdklsd She trusted Lilia and Levan would protect her and they did yet even so.... 😭😭😭 I feel like its so tragic that everytime Maleficia let go of Meleanor/Malleus, they're always leading into a danger where she cannot reach and help them (on Meleanor's case, the communication on Black Scale and Wild Rose was disrupted bcs every envoy that Lilia and other soldiers sent to inform Maleficia that Wild Rose was besieged was all killed by the Silver Owls, so Maleficia knew too late. On Malleus' case, it would be too risky for her to just suddenly show up on Sage Island, it would leave Briar Valley in a very vulnerable state with no Draconia residing in their land, STYX is calling her to meet Malleus but I think many faes would disagree on their plan bcs that's exactly the type of situation that cornered Meleanor years ago, Levan/Malleus is lost and in danger so Meleanor/Maleficia has to save them, if you think about it in Briar Valley's view, it feels like a trap lol. It's not an easy decision to just let go of their only Draconia ruler to a human territory and on top of that, they're on the verge of losing one(Malleus). I wish they create a scene of the Briar Govt in the book, I'm sure the Senates are in ruins and regretting that Malleus went to that school or something, like its always STYX when its equally intriguing to know Maleficia and the Senates reaction to Malleus' overblot.

I find it really depressing that Malleus, like Silver, was born out of so much love from their family, yet they never knew the full scope of it (until now). 😭😭😭

"Your hair is so beautiful Lilia!" "Beautiful like you!" "You two! Stop it!" "Look! They match your hair!"

Remember when I asked who wanted to see Lilia suffering? Well, there it is! More or less….! Just a little headcanon of mine, I like to imagine that Lilia let his hair grow because of Meleanor and Levan who liked to play and touch his hair.

A little reference to the Mulan scene, I don't think Lilia would cut his hair to "erase" the memories he may have with Meleanor or Levan, in a way, but maybe it could have been a way of dealing with the mourning or was it a way of taking the first step towards change?

(Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember if there was any information that explains the reason for the radical change in Lilia's hair.)
