Book Seven: Dark

Synopsis according to TDP Wiki:

Following Sol Regem’s destructive rampage on Katolis, which saw the death of Viren, Claudia has been manipulated by Aaravos into freeing him from his prison, against the wishes of her boyfriend Terry.

Meanwhile, while Rayla had successfully revived Runaan, her friends Callum and King Ezran were left devastated to learn of the fate that befell their home.

With Aaravos now free from confinement, and with Claudia by his side, the world is now forced to face the great threat that has been pulling on their strings for a thousand years.

I am not okay people, and I cannot wait.

What if when Runaan and Ethari finally see one another again Ethari doesn't let Runaan near him, what if he draws a weapon on him or tries to throw things at him. All the while saying that he's not real as Runaan tries to reassure and convince him that it's really him and that he's really, truly back.

And then Runaan says and/or does the right thing that ultimately convinces Ethari that he's there, alive and well. And Ethari just collapses under the weight of the realisation and all the emotions that will come with it. And then he's going to feel Runaan's touch for the first time in more than 10 years. And it's just going to add to everything he's feeling, the joy, the grief, the relief, happiness, exhaustion, anger, guilt, frustration, love.

He's going to feel it all.

Can confirm, this is Aaravos’ human disguise from the season 7 episode 1 panel!!

I have a theory that this scene might be him facing/battling his temptations to use dark magic again, something I always have a feeling of him going through Luke Skywalker style in Return of the Jedi. It’s possible Aaravos was able to corrupt Callum by using whichever means possible (potentially without Callum having to use dark magic, as we know in 7x01 he tried giving Callum the apple) and it’s possible Callum might deal with his temptations in a dream sequence (maybe while he’s corrupted). And this could be the same dark Callum we’ve seen from S2 trying to tempt him again, convincing him it’s the only way 🤔😁

Probably going to be a lot of snake boi people jumping on this one, so I’ll get ahead of the curve here:

The rune cube is now morphed to its “Oops All Dark Magic” setting, and since we’ve never seen that happen in real life and just in a vision…this is probably a vision.

If Aaravos' plan is to "release the dead into the land of the living..." does this mean that Ethari might not believe Runaan's alive even when he sees him face-to-face?

Aaravos: *Turns into island*

Aaravos: *turns human to trick Callum*

Meanwhile Claudia and Terry on island aaravos: Aaravos wheravos, where did he go? Aaravos wheravos, nobody knows!

There was a solid second where I thought this was a Star Dragon before my brain caught up with the dialogue describing them as spirits of the dead. can you imagine tho

Being unaware sometimes has its perks. Because i didn't know what the title of TDP season 7 was when i first watched season 6, and i went through the whole thing wondering what it would be, cause all of the primal sources had been used already. It was not until episode 9, when Aaravos explained what was needed for the spell to free him from the pearl, and he mentioned an object related to each primal source and then said that it also needed love, that i thought "Well of course! Season 7 is gonna be 'Love'! That's it!". And then... well... i found out i was not quite right 😭................................ Or was I? 👀👀👀👀

I don't think this was unintentional. In fact, the more i think about it, the more i realize how closely related both of the concepts of love and dark magic are within the story. I know at this point of the show this might be obvious, but hear me out.

There's this idea of what love is, that has been constantly portrayed throughout the series. Sacrifice. Quotes such as "i did what i had to do", "i would do anything for you". We hear these kind of phrases and many of us immediately associate them with love, whether it is romantically, platonically, filially, etc. But also, almost all of these quotes have been said in the show referencing the act of dark magic.

And what does dark magic require? The unthinkable, atrocious actions, sometimes betraying your own morals for a greater good. Oh, but isn't that admirable? Isn't that romantic? To have someone destroy themself in order to save you? Why, that's the greatest act of sacrifice anyone could do! They did it for love!

This may be a distorted idea of what love is, but we can't deny the fact that these kind of actions are perceived as acts of love, both in our society and in the TDP storyline. And it's really interesting because those are like opposite concepts: love is good, dark magic is bad; love is life, dark magic is death; yet somehow, they've managed to put them together and the line between one another has become so blurry. Are they really that different? If any despicable action could be done in the name of love, wouldn't that be just as dark? Wouldn't that also corrupt one's soul?

Honestly, i'm so excited to where the writers would go with this, but i don't know if it'll be that much in the face. My guess is that some character would do some huge sacrifice that would divide opinions on whether it was an act of love or an act of iniquity. What do you think?

[arcadianmoonshadowjedi]

Imo the only way he would end up doing dark magic would be if it was his only option/last resort against Aaravos. If it was his only option to do the right thing.

“There is a way out of this…with good people, doing courageous things! Doing what’s right!!”

Prince Callum, that sounds…heroic? Principled? Inspiring? Brave? Noble? Strong? And on SBC week part 3???

More likely than you think.
