Promise

“Runaan, I’m gonna have to ask you to do something.”

Runaan’s eyes darted to the staff in Callum’s hands as he got to his feet. He didn’t speak, clearly waiting for Callum to do so.

“There’s a spell that can trap Aaravos,” Callum spoke quickly, wanting to explain his plan before Runaan had a chance to object. “I- I’m going to have to do dark magic- and as soon as I finish the spell, Aaravos is going to possess me-”

“Possess you?” Runaan started, eyes once again moving between Callum’s face and the staff.

“He’s done it before, but- but-” A vision of Rayla opening her arms to him flashed in his mind’s eye, taking his breath away. His one deep truth...

He was going to have to let her down. He had to do dark magic again. It was the only way to save her.

His voice caught in his throat as he thought about Rayla, about what he’d made her promise. Maybe he could at least free her from that-

“I made Rayla promise she’d kill me if Aaravos ever possessed me again, but-” His voice broke as he blinked back tears.

Runaan exhaled sharply, gripping his bow. “You wish for me-”

“Rayla will never forgive herself if she’s the one who-” He sighed, regaining a little of his composure. “But she’ll forgive you.”

“Callum, there must be another way-” Runaan frowned, shaking his head.

“There isn’t time!” He steeled himself; they needed to leave. “Aaravos is already on his way to the Sun Forge. This is the only way to save her. To save everyone.”

Runaan sighed, holding Callum’s gaze for a moment before he nodded slowly.

“Thank you,” Callum’s voice broke again.

Now that it was decided, fear began to creep in. He didn’t have time for that, for second guessing.

“Tell her, I’m sorry. That I wish there was another way.” He bit his lip as his throat grew tight. “And- and, tell her I love her… I love her so much and I wish we could have had more time-”

Runaan took a shaky breath, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Callum’s voice caught in his throat and his vision swam as tears filled his eyes. “Tell her I wish… I wish we could have had that nice, quiet life.”

this fucking scene im so unwell

[weebssecretattic]

*sighs and puts this quote at the same space in my brain with the "what letters" scene from Anne with and e and cardan's letters*

the best thing about this season, smooches and sweetness and all other angst aside

[mytdpblog]

It broke me when Ezran didn't even hug Callum back, he was so in shock the poor kid

[percabetn]

if i had a coin for every time a guy of a ship i like got a white streak on his hair after sacrificing himself to save the girl he loves (and the rest of the world too) i would have two coins, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Ok, turns out you can theoretically confront Aaravos, but by doing so you'll start losing archdragons at a probably unsustainable rate without achieving anything long-term.

Might be the most terrifying line. What do you mean all the Archdragons together aren’t enough to challenge this single startouch elf?! Is that the extent of Aaravos’s power, or did he have powerful puppets left even after the Orphan Queen’s revelations?

[random-remzy]

OH MY ARCHDRAGONS-

I JUST REALIZED WHY AARAVOS TOLD EZRAN ABOUT THE NOVABLADE!!!

He knew what was going to happen! He knew Ezran's morals would cause him to use the novablade.

But he told Ez exactly what would happen if he used the novabalde. Ezran just never realized.

In the story, he tells him about how, when Shirua bit Laurellion, the supernova blast killed Shirua as well. And since the novablade was made from one of her fangs, and is considred a 'bite' of an archdragon. Then the consequences would possibly be the same.

Aaravos WANTED Ezran to use the novablade!

That's why he wanted Akiyu killed (that, and y'know so she couldnt make another prison.)

That's also why he didn't care if Callum used dark magic, because essentially, he was in control. That's why, when it was revealed that Runaan would kill him, he had to count on the fact that Ezran would stabby stab him with the novablade.

And i KNOW someone is going. "bUt tHe oRpHaN qUeEn uSeD iT bEfOrE!"

The thing is, it's never explicitly mentioned that the novablade was used on Aaravos. We know The Jailer and Akiyu worked to create the pearl prison. But we also know that (before Akiyu died) Callum had planned to trap Aaravos WITHOUT using the novablade.

So now, back to the original statement. Aaravos wanted Ez to use the novablade. But why?

Because he knew it would destroy everyone.

When a startouch elf dies, they cause a massive explosion. Aaravos knew what the outcome would be. He had a foolproof plan.

There was no pearl prison to capture him in.

If Callum used dark magic, he would simply gain control over him.

Even if Runaan or Rayla killed him, it wouldn't matter.

Because as soon as Ezran would drive the blade into his body, everyone in Lux Aurea would perish in an explosion of blinding light.

He was planning to eliminate all of them. He knew he wouldn't leave Lux Aurea alive, but his stars would realign, and he would return in 7 years. But the Dragang? they wouldn't.

But then the Archdragons swooped in, and took the explosion instead, leaving the heroes to prepare for Aaravos' return.

So uh- yeah.

Thanks for coming to my BAIT-Talk.

this as probably very confusing, but bottom line is; Aaravos delibirately told Ez about the novablade, because he WANTED Ez to stab him. Cuz then he would just return in like 7 years. But the Dragang would all be *ded*
