It’s always “how was your day” and never “why do you care so much about them?”

So many character moments I'm screaming

"They still take me" (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

screaming crying throwing up

I'm gonna explode

Oh. my. gosh. I can't believe this last episode.

Ruthie finally getting to fly?? Pool doing magic stuff with Elemin?? Acera finally sleeping?? Carlin's hidey hole?? 5 days of these people trapped with no one to talk to but each other?????

Man I love this show.

Of Fate and Balance, Season 2 Episode 1

As a recap, the party has just destroyed the orb and is now relaxing outside the cathedral room, Acera having brought life back to portions of the garden.

Eventually, they look up at the sky and realise that they can no longer see the sun or moon or stars, and they begin to panic a little before deciding to take the boat and leave.

On their way out, Allura is encouraged to stay behind, and a voice (suggested to by Nyssa) promises Acera that Allura will be safe, granting her a mirror that Allura can communicate through.

The rest get on the boat and start to sail towards the mainland with Arawn's guidance and Acera's magical House of Aroth homing beacon. After leaving some border of the island, the sun, moon, and stars become visible again.

On the boat, Pool knocked out asleep, everyone else does a little exploring, finding rations in the storage room, maps to Thrallia in the captain's quarters, and shrines to Rua in the sleeping quarters. Everyone takes a break for lunch but Acera asks Ruthie to leave for a second before arguing with Arawn and Carlin over telling her about the brand. Finally, they both leave and Acera is left in the galley with Gorvi and a soon returning Ruthie, Carlin secretly hiding somewhere nearby.

Acera reveals the brand and the nature of the previous conversation and Ruthie does, indeed, freak out about it a bit. She storms into the captain's quarters where she sees Elemin looking for something, and then kicks them out and starts to read the updated copies of the Zenith Scrolls stored there.

Acera and Gorvi decide to sleep on the deck rather than the sleeping quarters around the shrines, and Arawn joins them. Elemin offers to make dinner, and that's that as most people bed down for a rest.

Until Pool wakes up, and Ruthie leaves the captain's quarters, having just trashed it, and attacks him. She punches him multiple times before flying up above the ship, among the clouds.

Everyone has dinner, and after, Ruthie and Acera have a talk until they realise Carlin is and has been missing. Ruthie tracks Carlin's cape with Acera and Pool not far behind, and finds him hiding in the storage room.

Ruthie and Carlin almost get into a fistfight, in part because Carlin references Ruthie's "girlfriend," but Acera stops them before it can happen. Ruthie and Acera leave back to the main deck, and Pool talks to Carlin for a bit ("what's your favorite animal?" "I can't answer that question right now") before heading back up.

Pool and Ruthie talk, and finally, they all rest.

The rest of travel is largely uneventful. Pool and Elemin practice magic stuff together (turns out Elemin was looking for a replacement spell book for theirs that got destroyed in the water), Ruthie is tense but not necessarily aggressive, Acera is tired, Arawn leaves notes for Acera and Ruthie, Gorvi is seasick and nervous, Carlin is nowhere to be found as long as he can help it.

And then, there's land on the horizon, and they must prepare.

we love to see glow roleplaying Elemin to prompt Ruthie to admit she's in love with Acera because they all clearly want this ship the be canon
