Koschei's Sleeping beauty retelling Elriel Theory 🌹 A thread

Wonder if we'll get a Trove similar to the tablet of destinies, or if that's what the cauldron represents

Do you know why Az still hasn't gone down on Elain? Because we're getting that from her pov in acofm

Also the fact that Madja said Elain's mate would know what was happening to her, and once Azriel knew she was a seer, they learned about Koschei, Vassa, and the onyx box.

If I say Rhys will organize Elain and Azriel's wedding 😌 and scatter roses all over Velaris like Zeus did for Eros and Psyche.

When will Azriel come to Elain through her window like Eros to Psyche 🥰

It's funny that Az doesn't want to explain anything to his family because he knows they'll project what they believe about him onto him rather than actually trying to understand him which is exactly what the fandom does.

Az's shadows might be used to track creatures akin to kelpies and Lightsingers. That's why they react to her that way.

Yet yet yet

Now she's going off on an adventure, Az will follow her, she'll fall even more in love with him, and they'll discover that they're true mates 🤗

Elain waits for her angel of death with a thirst only his presence can quench, a fever only his darkness seems capable of soothing. How could Azriel set her skin ablaze, yet be the only one capable of bringing her peace?

Thinking about Elain and Azriel being so consumed by their desire for each other that they can barely speak

He tipped her head back further, licking up the column of her throat, tasting that delicious skin. Elain Archeron moaned, and fuck if the sound didn’t kill him.

Elriel

The way Azriel is when it comes to Elain gives me the feeling that at some point, he'll think he's lost her and lose all reason. He'll do something reckless, putting his own life in danger, only for it to turn out to be one of Koschei's tricks and for Elain to end up saving him.

Soulmates are home to each other. They find each other no matter what, and that's what's happening with Elain and Azriel, they keep finding each other even with the other bond masking the real one.

This: "And he must have seen, with perfect clarity, every trace of joy vanish from Elain's face. Seen the radiant smile and how fast it withered upon seeing him." Vs. This:

The riddle gives hints about the cities where the quotes will be placed.

Mind you the asteri/daglan mated angels solely for reproductive purposes, and they're certainly capable of doing the same in prythian. This would explain the existence of two types of bonds, soulmate bonds and bonds that are purely reproductive.
