Bye, again, Lykasra. At least your sacrifice wasn't in vain. Hello, Fleur! I mean, your current life is all kinds of messed up, but you got your magic back, enabling you to save yourself, so... Your trauma is probably outside the scope of this tale, but, yeah. "Hope.
Um. So gods of Palinor can't survive vacuum. The long anticipated "gods getting their asses handed to them" has occurred... Paf is probably doing a great "Sir Robin" impersonation.
That fight may have bought Lola and Yana the time they need. Assuming they aren't at the bottom of a deep, dark hole under tons of rubble.
I wonder what Zoltan and Nisha are up to? (This seeming non-sequitur ties back to a recent post on a re-read of "Fantasies 6 and 7" from a couple years ago. If Simon kills them - or one of them - he's said he'll do so to spite me.).
Yeah. That happened... Personally I'm the kind of person who'd enjoy the backstory of the origin of the Palinor gods, but that has to wait for Christopher Tolkien, excuse me, Yarid Jones, to cash in on his father's legacy decades down the road -- and I'm a decade ahead of Simon, so I'll miss that.
Simon, I have little fucking clue how you'll get everyone out of this mess you've created, other than everything else happening taking up enough of Probably Better's attention to have him distracted and out of position long enough for Yana to do her thing. I mean thousands (millions?) of aen'fa suddenly getting wild magic which may be going off randomly might flood the zone with enough noise to require significant resources of PB's runtime to isolate signal, but, yeah... At this point I have no guesses or predictions. Something may occur in the week I have to mull, but the whole narrative has spiraled into a very effective "How the HELL can this resolve in favor our heroes.
If the author hadn't repeatedly stated his ultimately positive worldview regarding his fiction I'd think this could end like the final episode of Blake's 7. Kill everyone, bad guys win.
Yeah, we'll catch up with Nisha and the others soon. We've had eyes exclusively on Palinor for a long time now (in real world time - it's all happened pretty fast in story time).
I'm glad the story has got to the "how the hell do they get out of this?" point. That's a surprisingly difficult place to get to, if you also want to have an exit. Chaos is easy, but calculated chaos that retains some kind of story coherence is not!
*Insert oft-used rant about Russell T Davies and Stephen Moffat always failing to stick the landing after they paint themselves into a corner and result to cheap, incoherent tricks in their finales.*
Thanks for the mention!
