#Still waiting to see if we ever get an explanation for the Heart of Sabik

Looks at ARR Laehbrea, looks at Elpis Leahbrea, Looks at Thancred, looks at Pandaemonium in the Sea. SIGH. Possessing Thancred wasnt a chore it was like finding like. Both Duty bound men who love and care for their child but have the communication skills of a behemoth, No I take that back the Behemoth has better. My money is on us finding out Laehbrea we know from ARR is actually his soul split and the real one is in Pand holding Athena back all this time.

Me earlier on Twitter:

And yeah, I said in another post here that they both handle things by NOT dealing with their issues and traumas and losses, locking those feelings away behind a stoic, sarcastic demeanor, and not knowing how to talk to or positively influence their kid, somehow deciding that by not talking and letting said kid come up with their own assumptions, that's the better way.

Tear my hair out. Aeryn was very much eye-twitching.

(I still haven't decided what/how/why/etc I am fitting Pandaemonium into her timeline but man oh man...).

And yeah; I don't think he's going to get around to destroying that Crystal. He may end up having to reintegrate both sides (for this raid? For the Final Days? For the Sundering?) or something happens and H is loosened. Either way, the man we met in ARR and HW certainly acted more dramatic than this calm, controlled Dad. But then, A Lot happened between Panda and ARR for him...

Also even WoL caught that hesitation during the story; there's more yet he still hasn't said about the family history. Though it also seems this is where the idea of Ascian Prime came from to begin with. Even Themis was shocked.

The overarching villain here actually seems to be Athena, as her plans aren't done--and I'm not so sure she is, either. And given that cliffhanger...

It's just an agonizing 8 months of speculation and waiting meanwhile. I'm not even a big Ancients/Ascians fan, but am enjoying the Panda story, and am glad that so far these characters' last hurrah seems to be a real good doozy of one.
