TEMPEST OF WRATH AND VENGEANCE QUICK RECAP
AS TOLD BY CYRUS
Hi, Darling! It’s hard to believe this is the last rundown I get to give you. It’s even harder to believe I still haven’t gotten the chance to go to Devram?—
Scarlett: I swear to the gods, Cyrus. I’m going to need you to stop.
Cyrus:And I’m going to needyouto stop sending our family to other realms. We haven’t heard from Eliza and Razik in months.
Sorin:We’re all worried about them, Cyrus.
Cyrus:Well, maybe if they hadn’t been sent there alone?—
Cassius:We have discussed this numerous times. We all miss them, and we’re all worried. You know as well as I do that Scarlett has spent countless hours holed up with books in the mirror chambers. She’s trying. We’re all trying.
Cyrus,glancing at Scarlett:Yeah, all right. I didn’t mean…
Scarlett:It’s fine, Cyrus. Let’s just do this so I can get back to the Wind Court. Ashtine found more texts that might be useful.
Cyrus:We head back to Devram to find Theon not doing well. Tessa had left him on his knees. He’d sent Luka to go after her, and he has no idea where his brother is. Tristyn Blackheart shows up and takes him to the Underground, where he meets Eliza and Razik, who we very graciously sent to help them. And if Eliza gets stuck in a realm where Fae are treated as less than, I pity anyone who crosses her path.
Meanwhile, Tessa is hanging out with the Achaz Lord, and her visions keep changing. She slips out of a Tribunal Hearing when Luka shows up, making her way to the Pantheon. On her way there, she runs into the Keeper, only to realize there is more than one. She finds her way to the mirror gate beneath the Pantheon and summons her grandfather, Achaz, himself.(Pauses.)That’s a choice, and not a great one.
Axel is locked away somewhere, falling prey to some insane bloodlust that is driving him… Well, insane. At some point, he’s taken from the locked room only to meet with Bree DelaCrux, one of the leaders of the Night Children in the Underground. She proposes they join forces to take the Underground and eventually all of Devram. She leaves him to the bloodlust to…help him decide? What a bitch.
Scarlett,snorting a laugh:That’s the understatement of the century.
Cyrus: I can see how that would be effective though. I mean, look at Gehenna.
Cassius,muttering:Can we please not bring the Sorceress into this?
Cyrus:Anyway, Luka goes on to the Achaz Kingdom because that’s what Theon wants and Guardians are notorious for bending over backwards for their Wards.
Cassius, flatly:I’ll bend you over backwards.
Cyrus,with a wink:I know.
So Luka shows up, hoping Tessa will help them find Axel. He ends up making a Bargain with the Achaz Lord, which cannot be good, and Tessa is furious when she finds out he will be staying in Achaz Kingdom for the foreseeable future. She has lots of reasons to not want him around, but one of them is a big secret being kept beneath the Faven Palace. Luka doesn’t like being there any more than Tessa likes having him there, but he suddenly has bigger things to worry about when Tessa starts pulling him into her dreams.
Theon and Tessa are finally reunited when she shows up at Arius property, and they have it out with their magic.(Snickers.)Nice. Do you think they destroyed a building like we do when we’re pissed with each other? Anyway, Luka intervenes, but he also discovers Eliza and Razik, noticing the latter is clearly related.
Tessa leaves Theon to his mess, going to the Wynfell River where she’s attacked by Night Children. Auryon and Tessa’s wolves come to her aid, and Roan is gravely injured. She begs Luka for help, and they end up at Arius House, where Theon has a Healer specifically for his hounds and horses. It comes to light that Nylah and Roan are Trackers, creatures created by her father, Temural. Huh. Those are new.
Scarlett,wistfully:I know. I wish I’d known when we were there. I have so many questions.
Sorin:They can’t speak, Love.
Cyrus:They’re probably grateful for that. I can’t imagine how quickly they’d get sick of you.
Scarlett,scowling and flipping him off.
Cyrus:Speaking of questions, Theon has a lot too, and so does Katya, who’s been hanging out with Razik and Eliza. Kat finds a book, and they all learn about the twin flame bond and how the Source Marks are a gross manipulations of them. Finally. Thank the gods they finally put that together. Kat also realizes that— Shit.(Looks up at Scarlett.)Is that true?
Scarlett,softly:Keep going, Cyrus.
Cyrus,swallowing thickly:Kat believes that Axel is her twin flame and asks Eliza to give her the twin flame Mark in the hopes it will help them find Axel.
Tessa takes a field trip to the Sirana Villas where she learns that Fae are being…bred for their power. That is fucked up.
