In honour of the Onyx Storm midnight release TODAY, here’s one last, extremely unhinged, theory.

Hear me out. I finished my re-read last night and something didn’t sit right with me. We know that Xaden’s been having dreams of the Sage, just like Violet, but it’s clear at the end of Iron Flame that he knows more than he’s letting on (shocker I know).

The venin leader (the Sage), who we later find out is actually a general, is referred to as “him” several times. By Jack, by Xaden, by the other venin. It almost seems personal. It also seems personal when Xaden tells Violet, “I killed him.” She describes his voice as being flat and emotionless after, almost like he’s sad. Why would Xaden be upset over killing the venin general?

Stay with me it’s getting good, I promise. We learn in Fourth Wing that Xaden is the grandson of Sgaeyl’s previous rider. The one who, and I quote, “didn’t make it through the quadrant”. We also learn that this was 50 years ago.

Why else is 50 years significant? Xaden tells Violet on the roof of Riorson house that they’re “fifty years too late” when it comes to fighting the venin war.

Also, Sgaeyl freaks out when Xaden pulls from the earth. I mean naturally, that’s her rider and she’s obviously upset, but what if it’s more than that. What if it reminds her of something.

What if, XADEN’S GRANDFATHER, Sgaeyl’s previous rider, IS THE VENIN GENERAL?!

Yes I know, very unhinged and unlikely.

But:

-It could explain Sgaeyl’s anger/reaction to Xaden drawing.

-I don’t think it ever states in the book that Xaden’s grandfather was dead. Just that he “didn’t make it through the quadrant”. Maybe he turned instead? Or even if it does say he died, so did Jack Barlowe.

-Her last rider being 50 years ago and them being 50 years too late seems a little much to be a coincidence, at least in my opinion.

Also,

-Is this the whole reason Fen started the rebellion in the first place? To expose him?

And yes I know, there are plenty of theories out there that make Naolin the Sage, but this makes more sense as to why Xaden’s connected. I mean what could Naolin possibly want with Xaden. But yes, I do think Naolin is also a venin, just not this specific one.

Also, Naolin only ‘died’ 6 years ago. One would assume that a general would be around for a lot longer than that. Say like, 50 years?

Anyways, like I said, very unhinged. Just something I put together after finishing my re-read that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

Guess we’ll have some answers soon enough!!

The fact that Violet got fucked (literally), betrayed by her boyfriend, heartbroken over losing her friend, betrayed by her dragons, hurt AND poisoned all in the same day is wild. You guys complain she’s “annoying” but I think she’s not half as annoying as she could have been. Matter of fact she should’ve set Riorson House on fire as soon as she woke up and saw HER BROTHER was fucking alive. She took it too well all things considered

[highladyofterrasen7]

I can totally see it

I saw the meme template and I just went, yes

[iwillwalkthroughthefire]

"Hi, my name is Tairn. This is my scary wife, Sgaeyl, my idiot daughter, Andarna, and my other idiot daughter, Violet."

–Tairn for the entirety of Iron Flame, probably

[mysterylilycheeta]

Xaden: How did you get Sgaeyl to betray me? What did you offer her? Violet: I asked if she wanted to embarrass you and she instantly agreed.

Violet would get a paper cut and Tairn would start burning down all the forests for justice to his rider whilst you’ll find Xaden squaring up to the exact tree the paper came from because he hunted it down. You’ll also find Andarna in a corner somewhere chewing on a shelf because she doesn’t quite understand what’s going on but she got spirit and Sgaeyl’s gone for a nap because she’s had enough of everyone’s shit😭😂

As a countdown to Onyx Storm’s release date, I’ve decided to post my favorite quotes, one per day, in no particular order.

It’s Onyx Storm Eve!!

On this special day, there was only one quote I could post.

A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. -Article One, Section One, The Dragon Rider’s Codex

[isvoc]

Another! There is no Tairn without Sgaeyl. So this time it's the murder lady! I imagined her to be sharp, but still elegant and not as muscle-dense as I made Tairn. Timelapse.

Please note that I only read Fourth Wing and it was a longer while ago so it's mostly drawing from memory with small bits supplemented by wiki. I know there is character progression in the series, but I don't own the books and I'm not in position to get them right now so anything beyond Fourth Wing will have to wait for later date 🫀

[mattyalwayssmokesweed]

It just dawned on me… what if Brennan’s signet is mending because what he wanted most in the world was to help Violet with her pain? They say signets are what the rider is at their core and, despite his many flaws, Brennan loves Violet.

He grew up watching his little sister —someone he should keep safe— always in pain, always breaking, always crying, and it made him wish he could do something about it, so his signet gave him a chance to help her. Because, back then, before the venin and the Battle of Aretia, Brennan was first and foremost a brother, Violet’s brother.
