#maybe i’ll work on edyn chapters of my fic soon

[looking-to-rattle-the-stars]

thinking about the tidestrider siblings and just how tragic they are cause like you have gillion the prophet the chosen one by his unfortunate birth right and raised by people turning him into a weapon rather than a diplomat/scholar. a boy taken away from his family to be corrupted for government need all because of the day he was born. a boy who’s life has been lie given the recent episode (110). someone who has been fighting for not the entirely right reasons. someone who is trying to undo all that has been hardwired into his head because of the family he’s formed above water. and then there’s edyn. who had to watch her younger brother be taken away. who could only visit when given permission because family means nothing. do you think when she heard the prophecy she assumed he was going to be raised different than he was? do you think the first time she visited and saw her baby brother beaten and covered in scars she knew something was wrong? do you think she was weary of the elders from the beginning but didn’t feel like she could do anything until gillion was banished? do you think she ever regrets the fact that she had to watch him grow up from a far and couldn’t spend quality time with him? do you think she left the undersea to try and do anything to get him protection from the elders? do you think maybe she works with raft to give herself and gillion protection? do you think she feels she has to do this because if the elders won’t protect him and she can’t who will? do you think she trusts in her brother to do the right thing but ultimately, knowing his training, is worried he’ll make the wrong call? do you think relief washed over her meeting chip and jay and knowing he was still able to find a family?

do you think gillion ever considers the pain he may have caused to edyn? do you think he would assume edyn to be disappointed in him not having an identity outside of the chosen one? do you think while in the black sea he remembers her letter and how she may never know what happens to him?
