Chapter 2: • Original hatching grounds near Riorson house. • Brennan and Violet talk about how he's alive, and she wonders to herself if Naolin is more than just Tarin's previous rider to Brennan. • Their dragons are in the valley near by, xaden guarding andarna. • Venin coming from the baron's, draining the lands of magic, going city to city. • This is the moment she reflects on the wyvern details in the fables, they are made by venin. • Venin not attacking because they think they are victims, attacking for more power from the ground. • The alloy used to kill venin is the same used to extend their wards. Like wifi extension. • Scribes withholding information. • Talk of another ward stone, others think the luminary for melting alloy for weapons is better than building wards. ------- • Why does sgaeyl not like Brennan, ever?? • Find out Andarna grew and no longer golden. • Brennan doesn't think their mom is too be trusted, but others point out mom wasn't there when orders were given for the games. • Andarna wakes, she's crabby, is she bitter?, "can you carry her", tarin deeply offended lol Chapter 3: • Dragons only first bonded to pretext their hatchlings, sneak into basgiath, xaden on thin ice, talk about her shielding Dain. • Violet grabs liam's letters, asks Rhiannon to hide them. • Talk about how can xaden lie to the ones he cares about, says he has never lied to her and she needs to master the art of selective truths for their safety. • Xaden has known Brennan since his death, he answered truthfully when she asked. • XADEN YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF, • Little did you know xaden....Jesinia documented what you said • she points out how he would tell her anything she wants to know and anything you don't, he said only in regards to him 😡. • Says he will always have secrets but wants her to ask anything about him, violet points out how everyone and everything around her is a lie. • She threatens to un- fall in love with him if she doesn't get full and total honesty. I agree with both of them :( • Names read off the death roll.
