"And I would say the third arc involves some new characters, some of the characters from the first seven, you know, the ones who survived season seven, but it's an evolution it's a next part of the story." - Aaron Ehasz on TDP Arc Three

Even before this quote I knew S7 would be heartbreaking. He already said that theme is "sacrifice" but I thought we would probably lose someone not someones. So let's break this down. Who is in the most danger?

Callum and Rayla

I think these two are in the most danger, honestly. It pains me to say it, but I think it's true. Not only did Season Six feature heavily around Callum asking Rayla to kill him and, on the other hand, Rayla asking him to sacrifice her if it came to it; we also now know that if Callum uses dark magic again he'll lose himself completely.

All of this leads me to think that either A. Rayla and Callum will be forced to keep their promises or B. they will be forced to break them. Either way, tragedy befalls our beloved Rayllum.

Soren

I have mixed feelings about how much danger Soren is in. On the one hand, he's the kind of person to use himself as a human shield, he's in charge of Ezran's protection, and I don't doubt that he would die for any of our characters or a stranger on the street. He's a true Crownguard. This makes me EXTREMELY worried.

On the other hand, we already had a moment in S6 where he had a chance to sacrifice himself, and they even made us think that he had for a moment. Which makes me think that maybe, because Viren died for his son and his kingdom, Soren will be allowed to live.

Amaya and Janai

I am so worried about our queens, because I think that if we lose one, we're going to lose both. I feel like there's a chance that the pair of them die for the future of Elves and Humanity. Alternatively, they could barely feature in the final season, offering shelter in the background of the story to the people of Katolis so that the Dragang can go off on their adventure without worry for their people back home. But I think that if it's a season where they feature heavily, we stand a good chance of losing them.

Claudia and Terry

Oh there are so many options for these two! I think there are two main possibilities, each with varying chances of survivability.

Option A. is Terry helping Claudia redeem herself. In this version of events, I think that Terry survives, but that there's an equal chance of Claudia sacrificing herself in her redemption and of her surviving.

Option B. is that while Aaravos is defeated in this final season, Claudia is not, and ends up being the final villain in Arc 3. In this universe, I think Terry dies in S7.

Either way, I think that both of them, but especially Claudia, is in grave danger in the coming season.

Ezran

The only character that I truly feel is safe is Ezran. I don't think he will escape this season unscathed, I don't think anyone will. But I think that Ezran represents a bright future and breaking the cycle, and I think for that reason he has to survive to champion that future.

Amaya straight up forgetting Callum when it comes to major life events.

Callum: You’re engaged?!

Amaya & Janai: Surprise…! 😬

Callum: You’re married?!

[primalmagic]

can we just all take a moment and think about how fascinating the situations of some of TDP's canon couples are in.

amaya and janai were fully and wholeheartedly ready to kill each other for like a bajillion years. like, amaya was basically tortured by janai's people. and now they're stuck with the whole bloodmoon huntress thing.

runaan is stuck in a coin.

claudia is... going beserk and terry is kind of just there to watch terror unfold.

rayla left callum on his birthday for two whole years after promising him she wouldn't then comes back like nothing happens and hasn't apologized yet-

aaravos and viren. uh. yeah i'll count them since they're practically canon atp. it's basically the most toxic thing ever but uhm still... interesting? they're going through that "we have a child but you don't know it, also let's get divorced" stage

whoever the hell viren's wife is, she's not even in the picture.

harrow was so agonized over sarai's death he went against her and his own beliefs and used dark magic to kill a dragon that only killed HER because they stole from it.

tiadrin and lain are stuck in coins.

they're all so messed up right now and it's almost funny because, like, how is this all going to fix itself in the next two seasons??

Ngl I was really worried about how they would handle Janai's role as queen, especially given that the sunforge hadn't been purified after the time skip. But the selfless patient approach to healing her community that she takes is something really special and beautiful. Not only is she trying to balance tradition and change, she also is willing to go down in history as a queen who didn't save her people if it means there is hope for the next generation to have the pure light of a new light (because let's be real, we all know that how she would be cast).

Her arc sends a message that the beginning of changing the world can happen in big flashy moments (the battle of the storm spire), but it take time, patience and commitment to create a better world. And it shows that sometime we have to step up and do what's hard and help our communities in the ways we can, big or small, regardless of the resistance we face. Because Janai never wanted to be queen but now that she is, she is going to do the best job she can and not step aside to let progress be undone. (Also it's so special to me that Amaya helps her come to that realization and solidify her commitment to helping her community change for the better.)

There are also so many parallels between her and ezran in this season, in their leadership and their embracing of the duality of pain in transformation and joy in creating a better future. The whole conflict of dragons in Katolis mirrors the situation with humans in the sunfire camp (especially with a part of the reason these groups are in proximity is purely selfish on the part of the leaders). Also Janai's scene where she shows her brother the sun seed in hopes of showing him her vision of the future is very reminiscent of Ezran's impassioned but naïve speeches about dragons and changing the world through love. Because they are both right, but they aren't seeing or hearing it the way others are, so they don't realize how inexperienced and naïve they sound.

Anyways, I'm really sad we didn't get to see Amaya and Janai as they were getting to know each other and rebuild the world together but I am really impressed with how much grace the managed Janai's arc with.

[zuppizup]

I really hope we get to see Amaya and Janai’s wedding for the adorable sweetness that will be Amaya and Janai’s wedding but also because I feel like the potential for awkward Rayllum would be top notch.

Straight up assuming they’ll be “officially” back together by then, and Callum just drops a casual “at our wedding” and Rayla’s all “OUR WEDDING?! 😳” and he tries to be smooth and recover before giving up and being all “Yeah, we’re definitely getting married so-”

Fandom: The Dragon Prince

Author: wordswithdragons

Relationships: canon romantic, callum & rayla & ezran, ezran & soren

Summary:

"What does it mean?" Callum asked, willing his voice and hands not to shake. The quasar diamond felt hot to the touch. The celestial elf looked at him slowly. "It means that the stars are not yet finished with you, m'boy." Following their successful retrieval of the prison, Callum and Rayla embark on a quest to the Starscraper while Ezran deals with mounting political tensions in the Pentarchy due to Zubeia’s sudden disappearance. Claudia seeks a new but no less dangerous direction, and Aaravos waits for his pawns to come all into place.

Poster's Note: i'm not always into spec fic, but this one is VERY fun. the character voices are right on the money, the conflict between ezran and callum regarding de-coining runaan.... the way that this brings callum and rayla into a survival situation with terry and claudia while poor ezran is fielding his emotional turmoil and a political mine-field... UGGHHH IT'S GOOD

Amaya's face after she learned that Janai was gone

im going to cry help

[lord-of-lizards]

Rayla: Callum you can choose your own destiny, make up your own fate! Do whatever you want, no one controls you!

Callum: But it's so hard to choose, and what if I can't even choose?!

(Meanwhile)

Amaya: What kind of life you you want to live? You don't have to choose between me or the kingdom.

Janai: You're so right, I'll be queen and have you as my wife. We should make out
