Sylus Spoilers & Theories🐦‍⬛
So I have only gone through Sylus's chapters in the main story update, but I have a lot of thoughts and I need to get them out so I can process the rest of the story. So...
Tumblr media
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD (and heavy theorizing)🥀
First off, if the timeline of Love & Deepspace confuses you I want you to think of only one thing:
Tumblr media
It's okay not to understand the timeline and be confused. The writing team have woven a delicate ball of lore and given us the chance to decipher it. Right or wrong, they're probably enjoying our attempts to figure it out. So, theorize we shall.
Anyways. My current thoughts on Sylus lore is this:
The FIRST time they were together is Dragon Sylus & Sorceress MC. Why? Because the concept of him being a fiend, an other-worldly being who EATS souls is far too big to ignore. And it explains how they are soul-bonded.
I think Sylus & MC were on a different planet entirely for the gladiator stuff. Philos and Earth have been the primary planets mentioned, but they don't originate there. There were "rooms" assigned to Lemuria & Backtrackers & Zayne's divinity stuff. Obviously, Caleb & MC grew up together there. Where was Sylus's "room"? There's no "Tartarus" or "Fiend" study rooms.
Another reason a different planet is likely - child MC literally jokes with child Sylus about "throwing him into Tartarus" (underworld/hell). Like it's a place or a fable for them.
Also, there's no shot all these hints at Hades are gonna be left alone. Pomegranates, the mythical name for hell's hell, devil association - like it's happening.
Sylus willingly gave himself to EVER and had the Aether Core put in his eye. That would connect his choices in his Catch 22 story. Maybe that is how he saved her from the chamber originally, he was already inside the facility - as a patient.
OR: The Aether Core isn't a thing, it's just a part of their genetic makeup. Like did MC really get a protocore lodged in her? That's a cover story, how did I not get that until now... So, because of Sylus having the same energy, he could get close to EVER.
MC would match Sylus's age if she hadn't been fucked with in those experiments... Sylus seems to age slowly (like Xavier) and MC is probably the same, but she kept getting "reset." When Sylus arrived and she was a child he was probably surprised.
Next Myth Theory: Gladiators & Space Pirates. Yes, I think we will see a combo. We see child Sylus & MC grow up together as gladiators, their escape & then their exploration of the galaxy as they search for their own little safe haven. You know, while being hunted by their handlers probably. I think this time around MC is gonna die, which is how she get separated from him and ends up reincarnating on earth. He searches for her (racks up an intergalactic bounty), finds her, waits for her.
HOW IT CONNECTS TO OTHER LIS: Walk with me. I think her soul can become fragmented. Versions of herself exist that are not soul-bound to Sylus. Therefore you can "choose" your Li without worrying another will swoop in. However, for main story purposes, the writers had to pick one of the Lis to facilitate the bombshell of her very existence. Picking Sylus explains 2 things: his lack of content & his seemingly unlimited power. And it allows Sylus to teach MC how to handle her extraordinary power since he also contains his own. Each Li has a purpose in the main story and this appears to be Sylus'.
So those are my current theories. I am SO curious to see how the main story will effect Sylus's cards. Will lore be dropped more casually? Will she be afraid of her power openly with him? Will we get a card where he is training her to control her power? Will she remember Dragon Sylus at some point? Since it's only clear she remembers the gladiator stuff for now.
Will MC slowly start remembering things for all the Lis and just "oh yeah btw I remember this"? All I know, the next time main story MC sees Caleb she better say "Do you remember Dimitri?" and he just loses his fuckin mind...
Share your theories with me. THIS IS ONLY FOR SYLUS THEORIES - I will probably make a separate one for Zayne.

<- love and deepspace masterlist
Spoilers for Sylus’ new card: this is more of a theory/observation and me rambling. Posting it just so I can look back at it and maybe hear other’s opinion and theories about it.
Tumblr media
When we traveled through the mist into “another world” and visit the dragon skeleton spot, Sylus talks about how when dragons die, flowers bloom around their remains. Which means that Sylus did not “die” like the dragon there did. He never left behind remains and whatever flowers left behind wittered into dust.
So this means that there’s a VERY high probability that Sylus is in fact not a reincarnation or reborn version of Dragon Sylus. He is still the same like I’ve always believed is the case. (When I finish my space Sylus myth, I will go in depth more on that).
Also Sylus said to mc that he can show her more places like this. Meaning what Sylus has been doing is tracking down every “mist portal” that leads to Philos and the dragon’s remains there. Is he searching for someone in particular? Maybe sorceress!MC’s remains after she turned into a dragon and “died”? (If she even left behind a body. I still can’t remember how her reincarnations work). If he is looking for her remains (assuming they exist in Philos, what’s he planning?).
Will we see in future cards Sylus continuing this search? I feel like it’s a HUGE thing that infold just casually dropped the fact that there’s portals that connects earth and Philos. They HAVE to dive deeper into this, because it could also affect the other LI’s lore/story onwards.

All About MC's Evol and Aether Core Powers
For those curious about the role of MC’s powers and following terms throughout the story, this brief guide is for you! Sprinkled throughout this post, you’ll also find some of my theories on the direction of the story.
Here’s the five terms we go over:
Resonance Evol Aether Core Spatium Core Flux Nexus Flux Stabilizer
I decided to make this post, especially for myself because when I started diving into lore threads, I realized how lost and rusty I was regarding the main story. It was a given since the last time I played through the older chapters was a year ago.
However, I recently replayed the entire main story so here’s a little refresher on MC’s powers and other important terms I didn't understand immediately! It doesn't include everything but will mention examples for terms that helped me follow the story more easily.
The definitions are taken from in-game/the wiki and then are supplemented with quotes/references/trivia I selected to help me grasp them. This also means this post is chockful of spoilers across the board. If there are any discrepancies, feel free to amend them in the comments (I did my best to be accurate but I am human).
I hope this helps to shed some light and invite more people to dive into the lore!
Tumblr media
Resonance Evol noun
1 An Evol that allows the owner to change their frequency to match another life form or object, as well as amplify or suppress another’s Evol
2 An Anhausen class Evol with an undetermined power level wielded by MC
Notes:
An Evol that allows MC to change her frequency to match another's by using the waves generated by her brain’s magnetic field
She can produce repulsive waves against certain people/things to avoid resonating with them
Rafayel explained that MC must open her heart to establish a ‘connection’ and share her power by amplifying or suppressing another's Evol at will 
Xavier stated this is the only Evol that can undo a lock on a Flux Nexus pillar and retrieve a protocore/Aether Core from within (how convenient??)
It also allows MC to resonate with evol imbued items such as Rafayel’s coral stone to draw out Wanderers, or his paintings to inspect them
As of Caleb’s Homecoming Wings story, MC’s Evol remains underdeveloped and suppressed likely due to her Aether Core’s powers being incomplete
She can also return Wanderer Protofields to their original state
MC can even resonate with other peoples dreams:
"It's as if she saw through time and space, through his dreams, to realize he's not the doctor." - Dawnbreaker Zayne
“There were times when I noticed him [Xavier] sleeping. I tried using my Evol to resonate with his dreams. But whenever I do, I get too nervous and fail.” – MC in Xavier’s anecdotes
One cannot simply force a resonance with any Evolver, the process is a two-way street:
Rafayel and Sylus were overly-eager and attempted to resonate with MC within a short time of meeting her but failed because she viewed them as strangers
Out of all the LI’s (besides Caleb), Xavier resonated with MC more easily during their initial encounter against the Luminivores, most likely because his light evol and her aether core powers are similar in form which possibly made it easier for her to match his frequency as both are described as ‘warm glowing light’
Examples of resonating successes/attempts:
Xavier
‘I sigh and place my hand over his [Xavier’s] heart. The waves caused by the resonance Evol ripple from my fingers– the fountain bursts into a shower of dazzling light, countless, tiny droplets scattering. The spectacle reminds me of fireworks as vibrant as an oil painting.’
– MC and Xavier create a distraction in Azure Square to escape the robots monitoring him
‘As chaos envelops my vision, only one warm force stays tightly connected with me. It flows steadily from my hand and gradually covers the world in a dazzling light. It overwhelms my senses…”
– MC resonates with Xavier to power the Traceback II starship together
“Weird… It feels like something is suppressing Xavier’s Evol, preventing a complete Resonance…”
– MC’s speculation on Xavier’s Evol suppressing collar preventing them from fully resonating
Zayne
MC: “I’ll help you suppress your Evol first. Tell me the area I should resonate with so you recover faster.”Zayne: “My left shoulder��� A little lower…”
– MC helps Zayne recover by suppressing his Evol in his shoulder
Rafayel
“All right, I guess I was wrong. Tapping into the depths of someone’s Evol isn’t easy.”
– Rafayel after trying to resonate with MC by holding her hands and explaining the intricacies of her Evol to her (lmao)
Sylus
MC: “Even if you keep holding on to me like this, I can’t resonate with you. It’s not something I can do just on a whim!”
S: “After all that arrogance, it seems you can’t even control your own Evol.”
MC: “... At the very least it doesn’t want to be activated in front of you!”
– MC to Sylus who was attempting to force her to resonate with him by grabbing onto her 
Caleb
“Resonate with me!” Like a bullet, Caleb leaps after the plummeting Wanderer.
“Caleb!” The roaring hurts my ears as I reach out. I can only catch the wind he stirs. Warmth surges over me like a tidal wave, and I focus my energy on catching Caleb as he’s in freefall. Our resonance creates a large energy shield that manipulates gravity. It halts his descent.
– MC assisting Caleb during battle on Linkon Tower
Tumblr media
“The only advantage I have is having part of an Aether Core in my heart. Since I can resonate with the energy… I should be able to sense its location.”
– MC on locating other Aether Cores with her Resonance Evol
Aether Core noun
1 A rare protocore fragment or crystal containing a powerful mysterious energy that can only be wielded by a select few Evolvers
2 A complete Aether Core has a stable aether barrier on its outermost layer, which utilizes the gravitational field to seal and contain all the core's energy, thus ensuring its internal balance and stability
“Their power comes from the very core of the cosmos. If fully awakened, they would spell disaster for the world. I know. You aren’t satisfied with my answer. But there are some truths you have to see and decide for yourself.”
– Xavier explaining Aether Cores to MC
“Rather than what’s already happened, I’m more afraid of what might come in the future. But right now, you terrify me the most. You used the power of the Aether Core this time. I’m worried about what you’ll do next.”
– Xavier to MC after she uses him as a conduit for her powers to feed Starfield Forest
“The Protocore energy in your heart has always been stable. It can form an invisible shield to protect your heart when you’re attacked. You also haven’t become as weak as other patients with Protocore Syndrome. In other words, it’s a power made just for you.”
– Zayne comforting MC about her Aether Core
Notes:
An Aether Core fragment like MC's can appear as a yellow protocore fragment emitting a golden glow
Its power surpasses that of a regular Protocore and attracts anyone aware of their existence
In the present timeline, it was first discovered in MC’s heart by Granny Josephine and the Gaia scientists while experimenting on her as an illegal child experiment
It’s implied that it was not welded to MC’s heart through surgery but rather appeared on its own or chose MC due to her innate strength
MC’s Aether Core power is described as “warm” and appears as a radiant golden light
It has it's own defense mechanism and can create a shield around MC's heart
It especially attracts those affected by Protocore Syndrome who want to devour it's power
When used in combination with the Resonance Evol, MC can sense the location of other Aether Cores within range
At full power, it can power an entire planet for centuries but only temporarily (Philos survived for some time on a past MC’s Aether Core)
According to Xavier, once fully awakened it can also cause mass destruction (hint hint Earth’s downfall and Philos’ 2.0 rise?)
MC can siphon it’s energy, resulting in the crystal vessel breaking after the process of absorption
MC’s aether core provides boundless energy and immortality across time and space
Sylus’ aether core within his eye allows him to see people’s true desires and possibly grants him immortality as well
A modified wanderer wielding a spatium core was able to invade Xavier’s mind and recreate a protofield based on his memories of Starfield Forest (by Soren’s influence)
Human vessels who can control and maintain Aether Core’s power are extremely rare
MC, Sylus, and Kevi are three of them and therefore are sought after by the powers that be (i.e. Ever Group, The Farspace Fleet, Philos Backtrackers, etc)
Other possible vessels:
Xavier who is arguably one of the strongest evolvers was able to act as a conduit for the massive transfer of MC’s aether core power while they were in Starfield Forest
Caleb will soon make this list once Ever fulfills the Fountain of Atei project, since he boasts himself as a better vessel than MC
My personal theory is that only powerful Evolvers who have an indomitable spirit can house and command the ability of an Aether Core
Sylus and MC have strong personalities and are always at the heart of the action
They are known to have endured an unfair amount of suffering throughout their lifetimes that fostered this grit within them
Sylus even considers them to be ‘kindred spirits’ due to all of their similarities and encourages her lust for power regardless of the timeline
Their Aether Core's caused a physical energy link to materialize between both of them, tethering their wrists together like a handcuff
Sylus mentions she’s predestined to commit crimes in the future– my power-hungry villain MC theory is for another time lol 
Kevi, a mere child, was able to withstand the rigorous test Lucius’ forces his experiments to undergo in order to determine if their suitable for 'adoption'
Kevi was also able to easily utilize the spatium core to hide from the fleet
While we don’t know a lot about Kevi, it’s undeniable that he has an intrinsic will to live and promising powers
I don't remember his Evol being mentioned but we'll learn more about him and the experiments in the future
Caleb’s story speaks for itself tbh
Man’s survived how many near death experiences, and endless experiments, lord only knows what tragedy he experienced in his Myth... and will experience in the future
He can literally create black holes and shift the cosmos so I think his powers rival Xavier’s (though I’d like to see Xavi’s powers without his evol suppressing collar on)
A list of places Aether Cores have been found:
The flux nexus in the N109 zone on Ever’s abandoned research facility
The flux nexus in the no-hunt zone at the beginning of the main story
MC’s heart
Sylus’ eye
Tome of the Sea God unlocked by Rafayel using MC’s blood
Inside a mutated Wanderer destroyed by MC and Zayne in Chansia Hospital
Wthin a modified Wanderer destroyed by MC and Xavier outside Starfield Forest
Kevi’s possession given to him by his parents who were fleet personnel
Probably other locations I can't recall
Tumblr media
‘I grit my teeth and forge that power into a sharp blade. Slowly but surely, it cuts through the invisible barrier along with the spaceship. Space itself is ripped open, which creates tremendous energy fluctuations and tremors. In the distance, a massive shadow looms.’
– MC and Xavier resonating on Traceback II to force their way through the Spatium Core’s illusion created by a modified Wanderer
Spatium Core noun
1 A rare type of Aether Core capable of influencing space, even creating entirely new spaces
2 Takes on the appearance of a green irregular spherical structure; the core’s shards have partially reassembled, drawn together by some gravitational pull
Notes:
A newly discovered type of Aether Core fragment that emits a faint green glow and grants the owner the power to ‘recreate a plane of existence and overlap it with reality’, essentially creating an illusion
MC describes the energy emanating from the core as gentle waves brimming with power, and a light, warm glow
Kevi was given a fragment of the Spatium Core by his parents to create a hidden pocket of space near his home to hide in from the Fleet
MC was able to sense the energy trail of this Spatium Core when she first searched the area of Kevi’s home due to owning an Aether Core 
Xavier confirmed the Spatium Core’s ability is familiar to people from Philos, such as the ex-Backtracker Soren who used it to lure Xavier into a protofield illusion to drain his powers
It’s important to note that despite being in a different plane, what happens to the victims trapped inside of this spatium-created dimension is very real
When Xavier attacked Soren its implied that Soren took damage outside of the illusion
Xavier’s energy is actually drained by Starfield Forest and Traceback II when he and MC emerge from the illusion; he’s exhausted to the point where he needs to sit down and sleep
Tumblr media
By the end of Homecoming Wings, Caleb and by association, the Farspace Fleet, are now the current owners of the center fragment
Caleb’s mission is still to collect all fragments of a Spatium core, while MC’s mission is to retrieve the last remaining fragment from him
With the combined man power of the Farspace Fleet and the Tuum Fleet, Ever will eventually butt heads with the Hunter’s Association for the remaining fragments (or Caleb will use MC to get to the fragments once he discovers the Association is in possession of the rest)
Tumblr media
Flux Nexus noun
1 A stone pillar device that captures Metaflux and as a side-effect can serve as a source of fluctuations that attract Wanderers
Notes:
Protocores and Aether Cores can also be stored and retrieved from within the pillar with the use of MC’s resonance evol
In the early story, Xavier and MC discovered Onychinus stored a modified protocore within a flux nexus in attempts to summon a dangerous Wanderer (this was likely a misdirect to paint Sylus as the big bad when in reality it was Ever)
Can serve as a ‘power source’ for crystal-infested human-wanderer hybrids with ‘Protocore Syndrome’
Destroying a flux nexus can result in severing the connection between it and human-wanderer hybrids, a concept similar to cutting off a power generator (Sylus destroyed one when he was chasing someone down in the N109 zone and it resulted in this effect)
Lucius' experiments (Caleb, Viper, Kevi, a mystery young girl) recycled these flux nexus in Skyhaven as a gig for Ever and the Fleet, during their clean-up of failed experiments with protocore syndrome
Flux Stabilizer 2.0 noun
1 A device the size of a bottle cap that regulates the frequency of surrounding Metaflux fluctuations thereby stabilizing the Protofield and reducing the likelihood of Wanderer materialization
2 Also functions similarly to a Spatium Core allowing the user to recreate a plane of existence and overlap it with reality (this function is obviously only available to those who are aware of how to use it such as Philosians like Xavier, Jeremiah, Soren and subsequently Ever Group)
X: “Initial tests show it has a radio frequency chip that can resonate with Metaflux fluctuations.”
MC: “So this little thing is the culprit behind the RMFMA’s malfunction and even the tool Soren used to lure in the Wanderer.”
X: “Yes.”
MC: “Can you also use that device to… recreate a plane of existence and overlap it with reality? You mentioned earlier that this is something only ‘your people’ know about.”
X: “That’s right. But you know I don’t like illusion stuff.”
– MC and Xavier discussing Ever Group’s newest groundbreaking invention
Notes:
The concept of a flux stabilizer first makes an appearance at Akso Hospital early on when MC visited Zayne's office and questions if the device is broken when a Wanderer appears
However, as of the end of Prologue To Tomorrow, a new 2.0 version of the flux stabilizer has been revealed to the public
When Ever broadcasts this new device on television, MC doubts there would be any need for Hunters if they implemented his small device all over the city
MC and her teammates are skeptical of this groundbreaking device that is advertised to help humanity against the Wanderers, of course
Similar to a Flux Nexus, this device can also be used for nefarious means such as to lure Wanderers
I wonder if this device along with the existing flux nexus' are how Ever will summon and revive the moist dangerous Wanderers and cause the fall of Linkon City to push their Philos (2.0?) agenda

This has been stuck in my head since he was released about why his hair is white and his eyes color is red.
Tumblr media
Perhaps he was a brunette boy before because you can see darker color on the bottom of his eyebrows.
Also since he's not a person who's good at expressing himself makes him bottling up his emotions of pain and stressed (both his and seeing MC's being subjected). Suddenly his hair turns white like having Marie Antoinette syndrome. They both endured being tortured for so long. Perhaps one experiment effected his melanine tremendously bad, making his skin so sensitive to sunlight and his iris turned red.
Edit : if he was born as a white haired boy, his eyelashes should've been white as well. But instead his eyelashes are dark brown.

Sylus is still a Dragon
My evidence though minimal:
So I was thinking about the guys’ myth and I noticed something. They are always the same. Not the same story but like Rafayel is always a Lumerian, Zayne is always a tool of Astra.
Xavier- two identities- Hunter Xavier/Lumiere and Prince Xavier/Lightseeker Xavier
Zayne- is always a tool of Astra
Rafayel- always the Sea God/Lumerian
Caleb- Cyborg with a chip that controls his emotions/literal android being controlled
Sylus’s is the only one that doesn’t outright have the Dragon connection in both myths. I also know some people have brought up how that little girl (in the main story I believe, but I can’t remember) referred to Sylus as a monster with wings and horns (DRAGON), some people have also brought up MC’s drawing of Sylus with horns. I just wanted to add a little bit to that.

Analysing the two dove flying at the end of Valleydream Bloom's Kindle
Oooh Infold I saw those two bird flying at the end of their kiss. And it wasn’t one crow and one dove but two doves 🫠
So y’all know me, brainrot down below
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The symbolism of dove is so so fitting of SylusMc as well for their characters and their love story.
I love how in the beginning of this article, the author describes doves as "Gentle bird". Which is so fitting of Sylus bc that’s just how he is with MC and his love for her. Rooted in infinite gentleness that is shown through his words :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And his action, like brainding her hair in grassland romance, making sure she stays safe everytime she goes on a mission, the way he kisses her in this card, and how he is always gentle in how he handles her.
And I wanted to talk about it when I will do my serpent analysis but fuck it "If a man is as wise as a serpent he can afford to be as harmless as a dove" + In the Bible it even says "be wise as a serpent, but as innocent as a dove" (Matthew 10:16) 
Sylus is wise. He makes sure to plan ahead, watch his back, have the upper hand in his deals. He speak several langages to not let extra people in his business. He is calculated and tactical. He is cruel and kills people who tries to fool him, kill him and harm innocent people. BUT he is harmless with the ones that don’t do any wrong or that are normal citizens. He even protects them like he did with Elysium and in his anecdote (I will do a protector thread and brainrot one day, promise).
And our Sylus ? Harmless against us and innocent and pure in his love. No malicious intent, just blatant admiration and adoration for his lover.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Renewal, transformation" -> reprensentative of Sylus, and makes a good contrast with his myth. In the myth, we see MC struggling with her acceptance of being different. She was treated poorly and persecuted for not bending to the Sanctuary's mindless laws and rules. In the myth, MC is the one transforming. She was helped by Sylus to embrace that part of herself and he even helped her take revenge on the one who wronged her.
In this timeline, Sylus is the one transforming while MC helps him embrace the beautiful and peaceful part of life. She makes place for him in a world where not everything lives in the shadow and violence. As she was once becoming a dragon bc of him, he is now become a dove bc of her.
"Compassion and kindness to others during difficult transition" We often talk about Sylus patience, but I do think that MC is too. She’s patient in the sense that, she takes time to show him the parts of her world where the sun shines and people are nice.
"Not all is lost" + "right path and inner wisdom" Sylus finally acknowledging that what was once can't be recalled nor seeked endlessly, especially since MC doesn't remember anything. Sylus understands that she is here now and this shouldn't be waisted.
Tumblr media
⬆️ I don’t think that’s was the original meaning, but to me, this just supports how much the "Sylus finally is no longer waiting for her to remember" is accurate. He is ready to live this life with her to the fullest and show her all the things he couldn't when they first met.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Symbol of lasting love" + "good luck in the love and relationships department" + "eternal bonds" + "connection with the Divine"
Through the story, SylusMC are shown to be cursed and ill-fated together. And I find that heartwarming that in Magnus Opus, Sylus wanted to go to the temple to have their relationship blessed (a man that doesn’t side with the gods mind you) when it fact, it is shown time and time again that they are blessed in this relationship. And through that symbolism, their love is "described" as lasting, pure and peaceful where no matter how hurt both of them are, they embrace and let the other be their most "chaotic, unique and beautiful" self. They love one another in this sweet, pure and innocent way that no hardship, the "tainted" soul or hatred could tame. This love goes beyond bonds, fate, time and space. Like Sylus said in his letter, he doesn’t need to know why he loves you, he just knows he does bc it’s you. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To me they are far more blessed and meant to be that they think they are. But I think, that makes their love story even more beautiful, bc they choose to love e/o, seek out one another and grow together despite everything. Their love is so harmonious that even flowers blooms to their resonnance, animals represents them, nature embraces them and gods smile upon them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And maybe the afterlife theory going around wasn’t that bad. They died once so you could say, that this is some kind of their afterlife ? An afterlife where their soul were guided to meet again and be reunited. An afterlife where they can fully embrace and live their story. I wanted so much to find another way to turn this afterlife theory more beautifully and not tragically, so I am happy I found this.
To me, this afterlife thing was more like; they once died but their soul finally found each other again. And I would like to think that those dove could have also been a representation of their future selves that once parted in this field. Not their soul obviously but more like their essence ? 
Dragon!Sylus and Sorceress!MC finally flying away and free bc they got reunated and found each other in Leader!Sylus and Hunter!MC. They both died there separatly but finally were able to hold and kiss each other just like they dreamed about. And this kinda stroked me when Sylus said "We’re not dreaming" bc this time they hold one another, in a blooming flower field, for real. 
And I want to do a dive in so much about how birds shows Sylus growth and changes through the story but I guess I already started a little bit. 
I finished this thread with tears in my eyes and a heart way too big for me. I love SylusMc. I love them so so much and how they’re written and how pure and liberating their love is. This representation of love heals me like I never thought was possible. Bless SylusMc and may the main story be good to them because they deserve it. Gosh they deserve everything.

ABYSSAL THEORY ₊˚✩
*  ੈ✩‧₊˚*  ੈ✩‧₊˚*  ੈ✩‧₊˚*  ੈ✩‧₊˚*  ੈ✩‧₊˚*
You know the similarities between Sylus' dragon myth title and his birthday event title, right?
We got: Where Drakeshadows Fall
Tumblr media
And then we just got: Where Hearts Live
Tumblr media
What if April 18th is the day Sylus "considers" his birthday. CONSIDERS.
Because the 18th couldn't even be his actual birthday. We wouldn't know if his birthday was in December.
Unless it's been a while since I've read Sylus' myth, and if there isn't a regulated passage of time all those years ago.
This day could be the day when we saw Sylus and MC together in the flower field at Tarus City. You know. The scene he most likely made up just for her? The damn dream???
That was the day he considered he was reborn as something else.
Not a dragon, not a fiend, not a monster.
When he felt like he had become human, he understood human love.
Even if it was fake, he felt like he understood. He understood MC enough to even make a false reality like that for her to enjoy. Because he knew she loved him.
And he knew DAMN WELL he loved us if he didn't know anything else.
Even though he knows what he was destined to do to MC. He was supposed to kill her. But he'd kill himself first before he ever allowed it to happen.
Oh my GOD I AM IN NEED OF THIS CARD NOW
He's so unbelievably soft in his birthday card like he is in Abysmal Blossom, it's insane. It's insane how many callbacks to that life Sylus has just in general. This man wants us to remember it all—every last second we spent with him in that life.
April 18th was the day his heart finally began to live with MC. His heart, his fuckin' soul is literally a part of MC, and she still doesn't/ didn't remember him? Fucking memory loss ass.
Remember him girly, for fuck sake, my sake and his sake DAMN!

Oh?
Sir you can't just toss this out there and not give me more details... Did he just never dated anyone? Too busy? Kept himself pure for MC? (HE CALLED HIS OWN LOVE THE PUREST. CAN'T HELP BUT BE REMINDED OF STAYING CHASTE FOR MARRIAGE)
Or did all his relationships ended in blood and death?

I saw a Tiktok from someone, a few days ago, talking about the myth and coming up ones.
As we know, each LI's has two myths, it can be one in the past, future or present.
So, Sylus has a past and a present Myth with MC.
Caleb: Present and Future.
Zayne: Past and Future.
Xavier: Present and Future.
Rafayel: Past and Future.
Tumblr media
You getting the idea, well the third myth will cover the timeline they don't have yet.
In the case of Sylus, I have the theory that it could be related to why he ended in the Time-Space Prison. And in the same way as Xavier, he is a time traveler. Buuuut, knowing Infold I don't think is going to be so easy. Maybe we get a "happy" end like Rafayel in Abysswalker. But again, this Love and Depression.
For sure, even in the future, they must keep that connection. This shared soul and they inevitably crush together and feel in love, again. The bittersweet part of this...

Sylus told us, at the moment, when he meets us again:
"Allow me to jog your memory... From your past, to your future, to all the crimes you'll inevitably commit"
And that, combined with the "insisting" asking to join Onychinus. He definitely knows something.
The whole story is a loop, we're stuck in death and love... And the whole mission is to break the loop and save us. Apparently that only can happen in the main timeline, at 2043.
We know, of course, something is cooking in the background and, I say it again, it is time for Sylus to come back to the main story.

protocores are hearts. aethercores are souls.
the aethercores within MC are parts of their soul. they have gained a new soul piece from this lifetime that's just automatically a part of them, but the aether core EVER put inside of them was another piece of MC's soul and maybe they realized that, maybe they didn't.
when MC first meets Sylus, the aethercore within them only remembers that they're meant to be angry at him.
when they regained that second aethercore, the one on top of that old facility, they gained another part of their soul, adding more history and memory into their subconscious.
it was only after gaining this other aethercore that MC's soul remembered that not only was it angry at Sylus, but that it was also meant to love him, that they're bound together. that's why MC gained that small memory afterwards and why they never had the soul tether appear until after that happened.
it was also only after that, that MC started to warm up to Sylus, which, of course, is partly story, but also could partly be because their soul, and therefore their mind and heart, are now more willing to accept him into their life and accept any feelings for him.

Rumors about the guys in the newest trailer
Tumblr media
I compiled the rumors from the trailers for a easy access! Someone else typed about their names in Reddit.
Edit to add: The texts are now readable in the latest social media posts, fixing my errors:
Xavier: "Danger often hides..."
Rafayel: "A Praedator rose..."

Some funny thoughts upon 6th LI—just ramblings
So we have Xavier, the prince, and his counter Sylus, the dragon.
We're also about to have a reunion with bad!childhood friend Caleb as a counter for Zayne, the childhood friend we've reunited with before.
Like... parallels?? A prince who always fights a dragon to get a princess, a friend of the past turning into an enemy because he's now your rival, and a god... versus... a titan?? Another god??
...we'll have a counter for Rafayel, the deity who chose us over his own people. Who will it be? Another deity that seeks revenge for betrayal of Lemuria, so he's gonna be like, real REAL villain who'll fall in love with MC for the first time only in recent lifetime? The "Ocean", to whom Rafayel lied to save us? The god who lost all his power because of someone else's weak heart?
And the most important question: will his hair be purple like Rafayel??? Have you noticed that LI and their counters have the same hair color (ok with slight differences but still)?😭

I'm back with more LADs lore predictions 🤔
Tumblr media
1. Miss Hunter's origins as a celestial being made into a humanoid form --
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By the game's definition, protocores are; dropped by Wanderers once they are killed and carry celestial energy that can be harnessed for many applications.
We've seen several specific protocores:
A. The Creatio protocore, during Zayne's Foreseer myth. This protocore is said to contain Astra's power and Zayne says "Astra's power is yours to wield" after Miss Hunter absorbs it. Interestingly, he also mentions prior in the myth that her heart condition stems from "resonance with it" and that the Creatio protocore was growing stronger by "draining away" Miss Hunter's life.
B. The specific protocore Xavier searched for and found during his time on Philos. I don't believe it's ever named. I'm not convinced this wasn't Miss Hunter being vague and telling Xavier a cure existed to give him hope so I don't really include this one.
C. Destructio, I'm not sure this was ever confirmed as a protocore but I'm making an assumption here. The "energy" of Miss Hunter from Caleb's myth as A-01.
D. Construo, same as above I am assuming this is a protocore. The "energy" of Caleb as X-02 in his myth. Interestingly, A-01 and X-02 appear to be able to switch these energies -- creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin. I think there are meant to be one protocore. Perhaps this a situation where Miss Hunter has one half of it and Caleb the other.
E. The Spatium core, spatium literally meaning space or displacement or even the distance between two points. In the story, it's been used to influence spaces and create new ones.
F. Special shoutout to the Aether core class, a rare fragment or complete crystal filled with celestial energy. Aether meaning the sky, the dominion of the gods (assuming they are using the mythical definition) and the god of light. A complete Aether core has its own energy shield to protect it. Aether cores come from "the very core of the cosmos". For a long time, I assumed Sylus's eye contained half of Miss Hunter's Aether core and that was why it's unstable. But Zayne says "the energy in your heart has always been stable" and that it "forms a shield when attacked". Miss Hunter's Aether core is in one, complete piece.
G. The Origo core, recently introduced in Death and Rebirth. It descends from the cosmos and finds (seeks out?) dying planets. Then a "tiny protocore" is born from destruction after a planet "collapses inward". and dies. This introduces a chicken and egg problem for me: was there an origin Origo core? Or a planet must die for one to be produced? Was the cosmos made from THE Origo core? If so, how was the very first one produced? By who/what?

SO - Miss Hunter? The game keeps making a point to inform us that it is time AND space that is being altered/bent.
Tumblr media
She appears to be based on the Greek Gaia or the Egyptian Nut.
Nut is summarized as the goddess of the sky, stars, the cosmos, mothers, astronomy, and the universe.
Gaia is summarized as the Earth personified, the mother of all life.
She will likely be a combo of the two inspiration wise, given that there supposedly more planets in Deepspace besides Earth.
She travels the universe, comes upon/looks for dying planets and plants a seed of herself in the planet's core. This seed is an Origo core and is powered by her essence. The Origo core builds a new planet and eventually the Origo core houses itself in a human/humanoid personification of her.
These human seeds become our Beloved Bride, Sea Witch, A-01, Thief, the Master of Fate's companion, Knight, Queen, Dragon, and Gladiator. I still maintain my earlier stance that these lives do not intersect nor happen on the same planet or timelime since Miss Hunter's Origo powers allow her to part time and space.
Overall, I think she will be a mix of various mythologies.
Astra seems to have a particular grudge against Miss Hunter, her being part of a pantheon would make sense. Something clearly happened between her and Astra. He seems to be following her across time and space, even if he isn't named explicitly.
Tumblr media
In the end? My money is that she is the goddess of life and free will while Astra is the god of death and fate -- two sides of the same coin, locked in an unending battle. I still maintain Astra is the big bad. And what makes her immortal is the Origo protocore.
2. Miss Hunter's latest iteration --
If indeed Miss Hunter seeded all the planets that would presumably include Earth. So is our Miss Hunter a seed that has been on Earth for millenia and recently awakened? I'm not so sure.
I realize this is Zayne and his mystery mission to the Arctic, but the imagery makes me wonder if there IS a Miss Hunter for Dawnbreaker, the OG Earth seed, but she is trapped somewhere by Astra or somehow dormant....perhaps stuck in the Arctic in a different time/space pocket?
Tumblr media
In short, I think our latest iteration of Miss Hunter is the gladiator version of her with Sylus. They agree to run away together and something happens to split them up. I believe this is where Sylus ends up in the time space prison and Miss Hunter?
The Deepspace Tunnel being described as "vast" is interesting. It feels like the Temporal Loom from Loki. There is one Deepspace Tunnel, and everything branches from it. Deepspace Tunnel = an Olympus of sorts in the middle/a pocket removed from time and space?
She falls through the Deepspace Tunnel to Earth. If she can manipulate time and space, as it appears she can, she could be falling through multiple times/spaces of the Deepspace Tunnel and "jumping" in her distress.
Tumblr media
But our Miss Hunter has protocore syndrome and lacks the power she's supposed to have? The Deepspace Tunnel tore them from her during her fall and they fell from her as protocores. She doesn't have a weak heart -- she's incomplete. The specific, named protocores are easily and "accidentally" absorbed by her because they belong to her, they are pieces of her.
She's going to be weak and unstable until she is complete. She's gotta pull a Thanos and collect them things!
And when she does? Along with sorting thru her memories? She's gonna be scary.
3. But wait -- what about her weak heart in the myths with boys?
This circles back to she can manipulate time and space -- perhaps the Deepspace Tunnel was originally her means of travel and something went wrong? Altered by Astra? Either way, she appears to be incomplete in some (all?) of the myths as well. Her heart with Xavier and Foreseer Zayne, something is "wrong" with her power with Master of Fate Zayne, etc.
If the Goddess version of her is where all the seed versions of her draw their power from, is something wrong with the Goddess and that's why her seeds are weak?
It also occurs to me the boys could have pieces of her as well from their origins and that explains the inexorable draw to each other. Their choice to fall in love but the type of locked eyes with a stranger in a crowded room and can't look away draw.
Or perhaps the boys are celestial bodies as well, I did see a theory to support this (would love to credit the original person who thought that one up, please let me know) on various platforms -- Miss Hunter seeds the planet and becomes intertwined with it.
I think that's all for now 😅😆🤣🤣🤣
