#mistery of aaravos

TDP FANDOM, HOW DO WE FEEL?

[bycaprinae]

Okay so it's been a while and I saw a lot of people trying to sell the idea that Aaravos is lying to Viren about him dying on that night, because of that one Tweet were Aaron said this

And when I first saw that tweet I thought it was really odd because they literally went out of their way to say that Aaravos never lies, not only in that one line in the show, but also in interviews, and Justin even said that if you know where his coming from, he's not lying. So why would they contradict themselves?? Just for one weak plot twist? No, they wouldn't.

Aaravos said with all the words, Viren will die when the sun rises, he said it MULTIPLE times in that episode, so what I'm trying to say here is that the catch is probably not about the fact that HE'LL DIE, but probably about what he have to do to NOT DIE.

What does that mean? Well, it could mean anything, really, just by myself I thought about that one theory that Viren will unlock the Star arcanum and achieve imortality (unlikely), there's the fact that we know the current spell is temporary, but they never said Claudia couldn't just... re do the spell???? (very unlikely), but if the answer lies in Aaravos' lines in the last episode, to me, there's just one thing that makes sense:

Infantis sanguine is not a spell that requires the death of a child, it's a spell that requires the BLOOD of a child.

There's not a moment where Aaravos say with ALL THE WORDS that DEATH is required for the spell. He LITERALLY says the spell is named for the ONE necessary ingredient, the BLOOD of a child.

When questioned by Viren he says

Yes, I'm aware, sacrifices are often associeted with the killing of something, but sacrifices can come in many forms. And if the twist really is embendded into the double meaning of what Aaravos is telling Viren, "Sacrifice" would suffice as a "generalist" enough term to fulfill the role. But I'm not done talking.

Soon after, Viren says he's not a monster, and he would sacrifice his own children. Aaravos proceeds to calm him down and says:

Curious how he chooses his words really careful, "harm", instead of "kill". Not convinced yet? Sure

"I will show you how to use every DROP of his living essence, to restore you OWN LIFE and you FUTURE." "every drop" "EVERY DROP" and more than one final gain. Doesn't it seems to imply that the main ingredient isn't the soul nor the life of something? but rather the actual blood, something that can be counted in drops?? If the main ingredient was the LIFE, then it would be gone the moment Viren kills it, then what the hell is that talk about the future???? Yo I'm not CRAZY.

The last thing Aaravos says about the topic is just this. Make the sacrifice. Not "Kill the creature", he never says anything clearly about death.

He never taunts Viren about killing the being, never tells him not to worry about killing something that doesn't actually has a soul, that would fit him perfect, he went out of his way to tell Viren that the being is their ACTUAL child, and for what reason you might be asking yourself? I don't know either, but I saw one theory that this was a test on Aaravos part. Maybe the reason why he stood there, quietly, while Viren stormed off and cut ties with him wasn't just because he doesn't need him anymore (?? He doesn't need Viren for a long time now, come on, why's he clinging to him is a mistery to me, but I won't let the viravos in me talk louder haha), but maybe, just MAYBE he was testing his morals (?), what he truly stands for, if he already knows that Viren wouldn't sacrifice his children, but to what extent does this goes? can it include anything that falls under the label of "his children"? Can he really sit back and wait for the inevitable death and do nothing?

I have no idea why exactly would Aaravos play these mind games with him, it's not just a wild guess tho, I'm coming from the perspective that it might be related to his own motifs, the things we don't know about him yet and the special person from that past once mentioned in an interview. But here's some food for thought:

Once in season 2, Viren asked Aaravos why should he trust him, and Aaravos said he shouldn't... yet. Aaravos told Viren that he would like to gain his trust, there's even one of my favorite lines in the show (if not, MY FAVORITE)

To me, that scene is just too personal, he could have just listened to Viren's wishes and shared with him how to solve the problem, but he pours his own perspective in the matter, and I do in fact think that this is his actual principles. I think Aaravos does care about loyalty and kindness. Pherhaps it has come to the point where Aaravos will test if he can trust Viren, maybe he'll wait until the final moment to reveal the truth. And to be honest, Viren doesn't even need to harm anyone, because Claudia is already bleeding (she lost her foot!!!).

Personally, I can see that being the case, I might be wrong about how and why it will be revealed in canon, but that does seem to be the only thing off in the story.

What ya'll think?

no callum you need to believe in yourself to find your truth- WHOA HEY YOURE FALLING

o raylla

waiit so leola was the catalyst to the madness that followed??

that kinda explains why he hates sol, because he snitched

is rayla parents about to cross over??

how could they doo that, she just a child scared and wants her father to protect her

so thats why he cried in the beginning

sp she became a star- ahh no which is far worse

and bro took cry me a river to whole other level which is testament that he couldnt go on without her..man

come on runnan come back

gaps shes your daughter awwww

yeah go back to the living

terry has a point, as much as aaravos is doing it for love for leola, hes doing it in revenge to those who wrong him and honestly he not wrong but how do you deal with grief and unjust retribution czasted upon you, who teared his world appart, sorta like viren for what he did to save soren

wow im seeing parallels two spells to bring back the dead one for for love and one for misguided justice

“love is the star of life” wow 

ohh terry

oh nno here comes news of the fall

we re getting a magical girl resurrection wait he’s a giant?!

nooooooooooooo and it ends here whhyyyyy

and all of this started with the death of a child..

[the-night-puncher]

This is not really a complaint and so far season 4 is the best of dragon prince

but its really funny that after so much mistery aaround aaravos, with the words literaly vanishing from the pages when viren tried to find info and the season being named the mistery of aaravos...

The dragon queen just infodumps his whole backstory on the way home

[rayrayla-blog]

Aaravos: some of you have never been imprisoned in another dimension where you spent a thousand years with yourself as your only companion and had only books and a misterious magic mirror as the only distractions from giving in to feelings of betrayal and desire for revenge and it shows

[skywing-human]

my Last prediction before watching season 6:

THE PRISON IS AARAVOS WORKS LIKE A PRIMAL STONE

Technically it has a big primal sources inside, right?

[skywing-human]

Ok, but in the logo of "The Orphan Queen" there is the symbol of the primal sun and I feel like we are not talking enough about this

[skywing-human]

Terry

[skywing-human]

TDP S4 premieres in Argentina at 5am but still

[skywing-human]

"What if I'm on a path of darkness?"

AMM EXCUSE ME- WHAT?? OF DE DARK- WHAT?? CALLUM? CALLUMMM??

Baby, look into my eyes, look at me. Don't listen to the purple man in the mirror

[skywing-human]

Viren only did ONE thing right, and that is his children

their genes🛐

[skywing-human]

Only.Been.A.Week

Is one week enough for them to give me material about the next season?

[skywing-human]

You know, Claudia probably doesn’t know that Callum is connected to a primal source

[skywing-human]

HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH A FACE SO SOFT, YOU LITTLE DUMMY?!

[skywing-human]

Ok but dark Callum have white hair

[skywing-human]

Under the Storm Spire

Claudia, darling- did you really decide to stay in the most dangerous place in all of Xadia for you, with your father's corpse?

You know what is the worst? It's just the most stupidly smart idea of all! That is the last place where they would look for her, that is to say, they surely investigated there when the war ended, but in the meantime devastated by the war, I assume that it would have been superficial, and the most logical thing was to think that Claudia would have moved Viren's corpse to get away
