Prompt 345
Let it be known that none of them actually expected the idiots’ of the week’s ritual to work. The summoning hadn’t worked for literal centuries- everyone knew it had been sealed away, presumably forever!
(Of course they had no way to know that in the Infinite Realms actually used the term forever as a measurement of time, what with how time itself wasn’t particularly linear within. And to beings that could hypothetically live for eternity? Forever was a nice vacation time really)
So maybe they hadn’t been exactly focused on stopping the ritual as much as they could of been, and by the time they realized it was working, well, it’d been a bit too late then. So yes, mistakes had perhaps in fact, been made.
First had come the chill, the cold of the ground as your body was lowered down, the cold of your blood dripping from your living corpse. Then came the shadows, the darkness creeping along their vision as their soul slipped from their body. Followed by boiling heat, flames scorching through their flesh and tearing from their chests like a blade piercing their hearts.
The form that emerged was massive, a cloak dripping crimson fluttering in the wind of an unseen battlefield, verdant flames licking at the air and causing the surrounding shadows to writhe. A dark growl echoed through the building, the stone below them shaking while deathly green eyes glowered down at the living with utter contempt.
“Do any of you imbeciles know how long it takes to get ghostlings to sleep-”

i see your “wu and garmadon started aging because they were separated/in different realms” and raise you;
its not just about them growing older. wu gives up immortality and becomes more human, less god, while garmadon starts turning into some sort of eldritch horror. into something inhuman. idk idk its just. such a wide divide.

IF CAPITANO NOT ANFORTAS THEN WHY
does capitano have the three nails crucifixion constellation and anfortas is named after a guy whose suffering is compared to jesus on the cross and portrayed in art as jesus and stabbed with the holy lance in the same side as jesus and associated with the three staves tarot card in lauded poem the waste land
IF CAPITANO NOT ANFORTAS THEN WHY
is anfortas also the commander of an army, highly respected by his subordinates, took up the "mantle of salvation" during a crisis (stepped in as regent when king irmin failed to protect khaenri'ah), was possibly one of the mightiest figures in khaenri'ah (as alluded in the book perinheri), leader of the schwannenritter who were part of khaenri'ah's royal guard the black serpent knights while capitano is conveniently dressed as a black serpent
IF CAPITANO NOT ANFORTAS
then why did they force kaeya in the scene where varka's letter about capitano was being read in an event about lost family members, why does capitano wear the fatui coat in his final (?) design that has a fur boa and lapels that resemble kaeya's outfit, why does capitano use a cryo sword like kaeya in the manga and use somewhat similar moves
WHY WHY WHY
did kaeya's father say "we of the alberich clan should lead lives as those who blaze like fire, rather than those who wallow in the embers", which seems to reference natlan's rule: "the victors shall burn bright, while the losers must turn to ash", while the cn word 余烬 for ashes/embers is the same and according to the livestream capitano is in natlan because of the concept of "reignition" and the salvation of arthurian anfortas is described as a rebirth
WHY
did pierro say he failed to earn the favor of the "PREVIOUS ruler (irmin)" which implies he knows the last ruler anfortas is still out there
WHY
did capitano get bodied by mavuika? because the name anfortas means illness/weakness and arthurian anfortas was stuck between life and death suffering on the cross daily like capitano's jesus crucifixion constellation implies. HOPE THAT HELPS
