#wyll is always on the mind atp

Saw a tiktok edit of the three male origin characters to the song Soldier, Poet, and King and a handful of comments made the point ‘Wyll is all three’ and they’re so so right. Thinking about that means so much to me and you can almost see it as a progression.

Wyll as a soldier is how he starts; a blade to be wielded for justice. You can see this from the view point of him being Ulder Ravengard’s son and wanting to make him proud so badly. Or from the view point of him pacting with Mizora to become a protector of the people who cannot protect themselves. Everything he does is for the benefit of others and usually in service of a greater power.

Wyll as a poet is him as person really. Who he is outside of the blade of frontiers. A lover of ballads and dance. Someone who believes in happily ever after and knights in shining armor. I mean have you heard some of his lines? My god.

Wyll as a king is him becoming fully autonomous and coming to find his own way to dish justice. This is more literal thinking about his grand duke ending but applies to the blade of avernus ending as well. He comes to realize he doesn’t need some greater power, not his father’s, not Mizora’s, and . He is the heart of the gate now and it falls to him protect it.
