- Spoiler FanfictionPrevious chapter: Hope in Deep Waters (an AtE story), Ch 16 | The Thwap House Flashback As Kalmar’s growling stomach led him toward the apple tree, he heard his older brother shout a challenge to him to see if he could hit an apple with one of his arrows. “Easy!” he shouted back, whipping out his bow and nocking an arrow. He squinted at the ripest apple, one that was dangling from the end of a high branch, and let the arrow fly. After months of taking down moving targets while also running for his life, a stationery apple was no problem at all. The arrow thunked into the center of the apple, which swung to and fro on its stem but refused to drop to the forest floor. Kalmar tossed down his pack and bow, and bolted for the tree. He swung up into the branches and pulled himself higher and higher into the swaying boughs. As he crawled out onto the limb that held his apple and his arrow, he heard Janner beg him to be careful fifteen or so feet below. Suddenly, Kalmar’s thoughts flashed back to the previous day when he had been in the plumyum tree and accidentally started to say Janner’s name instead of Leeli’s. He remembered the heavy grief that had weighed upon his family since Janner had taken the stone from his hands- his paws- and sacrificed his own life at the last moment. He remembered his mother’s silent tears and the scars on her forearms and on Janner’s neck, arms, and legs where his own claws and teeth had sunk in. He remembered Leeli’s worry for him and how scary it must have been for her to see him go wild and lose his mind. He even remembered Artham’s vain attempts to help him remember his identity. Kalmar wanted to shrink down and hide in a hole somewhere because he felt guilty for how much physical and emotional pain his own rebellion and bad decisions had brought upon the family he so deeply cared about. “Are you okay up there?” called Leeli from below, standing next to Nia in the shade. Kalmar swallowed hard and shoved the thoughts away. “Yeah, I’m good! I’m almost there!” He didn’t want to bring the painful memories back into his family’s minds again and ruin the mood. Kalmar grabbed the skewered apple and tried to focus on the fact that he was pleased that the arrow stuck right through its center. On his way down the tree. He tucked several more gleaming red apples into his pockets. He could give them to Nia and Leeli and Janner when he reached the bottom. When he reached the ground, Kalmar mustered a smile. “See? Easy as pie.” he announced to Janner, waving the apple at him. “Nice shot! See? You can still have fun.” Janner remarked. Remembering Esben’s message gave Kalmar an idea. “Mama?” he asked, “can you tell us a funny story about Papa and Uncle Artham while we eat?” “Of course dear,” said Nia with a grin. Turning to Artham, she mused “Now, which one should it be?”Me gusta
- The Warden and the Wolf KingOkay, so I was looking back over N!OBE and I realised something CRAZY, guys. I know this is in tWatWK discussion, but you'll soon see why I put it here. It was not a mistake. So I was reading back over the chapter "Ouster Will and the First Books." And I found this on page 85: "'Her name was Alma Rainwater,' Nia said. 'She was a good friend of mine. We always thought she would marry your uncle. We hoped she would. But she never made it out of the castle.'" STOP. RIGHT. THERE. At the footnote at the bottom of page 85, it says, "Though little is known outside of the Shining Isle, Alma Rainwater was one of the many Annieran poets whose work was hailed as revolutionary because it rhymed and followed a strict form called ba-dum-ba-dum pentameter." We know that Alma Rainwater was actually the pen name of Arundelle, as we learn in tWatWK (pg. 225). But the reason I stop us at page 85 of N!OBE is this: Why was Arundelle in Castle Rysen the night Anniera was invaded? According to Nia, she was there with them when the Fangs came, and she never made it out of the castle. But why would she be there? She didn't live there. She was an honoured poet in Anniera, yes, but that doesn't mean she lived in Castle Rysen. And we read in tWatWK, after Janner plants the new seed (😢) to restore the Annierans to humans, Arundelle is also transformed by Janner's sacrifice. And after Artham learns she's alive, she asks him, "Artham Wingfeather, will you still have me?" (pg. 487) When I first read this, I thought it was because of her failure in the past when she became a cloven. But why would that matter now if she's restored? So that brings us back to our original question: Why was Arundelle in Castle Rysen the night Anniera was invaded? My theory is this: Artham invited her to the castle so that he could propose to her.😏 And either he never got around to it or she never said yes because the Fangs were storming the castle. So this would explain her question, "Will you still have me?" So what do you guys think? Why do you think Arundelle was in Castle Rysen that night?Me gusta
- RecipesMy friend and I made these honey muffins using the recipe from the "unofficial official wingfeather festival guide" (it's on the website). They tasted so good! I highly recommend! Also, yes, the recipe will make 13 full-size muffins. We made 1 pan of full-size ones and one pan of mini ones. (We ate all but one of the mini ones before I could take a picture XD.) Ironically, the only clean plate left in the cabinet from the day was a birthday plate, and my birthday is coming up 😂 snoresMe gusta
