They’re being watched - queen elisbaet, queen of draveenmoor appears with other Draven’s

“Your father will be looking forward to seeing you neice” she says to Emi. Neice?!

She promises that the medler will reach the gate unharmed

Roark is her second son & they’re returning home…

Skul kills a soul, attacks piece by piece until souls light flickers out & nothing more but a husk -

He agrees to go back for Kael but they need a plan -

Thane didn’t know about Skul- he really did care for him, he betrayed him - he had no control

Skul was able to speak w her soul to soul

The prince took her to the seas, Draven’s considered him a traitor, slot his throat b4 he could get a trial -they split his soul & forced him to kill till the medler was found again - if he survived he would earn a place in their clan again - he was to kill her when she was found again

The wolf was sent bc he betrayed his people again- it was there to kill her

She’s brightened the darkness that has consumed him - phantom use to say you brighten the night. She realized everyone glowed when she melded but not him

He tells her he now remembers that night how he knew they’re souls were bonded- hence phantom saying your soul is mine - the prince of dravenmoor believed him & his craft was soul shadower which help shadow her memory of that night

He didn’t know this was happening at 1st, but sensed a shift - when he threw a knife at skul- neither expected a wound to form- it hinted they were closer converging than seperate , should’ve appeared on the soil, but appeared on ash meaning they were getting closer - he threw the knife bc he didn’t trust his soul- he had no choice to retaliate for every soul bone

Emi tells her that she’s his sjeleven

able to control it bc of ly emi explains (ash is asleep now) - weapon to be summoned by the one who split his soul - her soul is the rope leading his soul back 2gether -she fractured the curse that keeps him 1/2 prisoner - he’s not the 1st skul drek , curse of draven soul since Norman king realized he could steal the souls of fallen through bone - he’s the 1st to restore his 2 sides bc he fell in love w a medler

fealty bond- thane can find him, they have to remove it or it’ll kill him - someone is trying to regain control of his dark half, if they succeed it could kill him (whatttt)

Skul drek is roarks soul- soul craft - piece of their cousins soul -beyond his control & blood has spilled for that - split soul divided bw dark desires & man, most brutal part of him

She feels betrayed & im sure people at the castle will too

Pestilence came with the skul- dimmed the palace in gloomy mists -Roark takes her hand & they run with emi - she pulls away, he manipulated her, attacked, & was made of darkness -

They have Kael she scream- you above anything he says as the move swiftly on horses.

The prince screams his name, he gestures I’m sorry - so much pain

“It snapped the final strand the ring my will to keep control, lash of darkness with chilling cry of her name - is he the skul???

Ly sees the phantom form, black blood spilled from his neck, & a shadow took place - he is the assassin skul Drek. Or part of it?

Skul Drek can slice through the souls of people, having them love w black blood & emptiness

He wants to meld her bones into his - it’ll give him the power of her soul - she stabs Fadey & starts medling his hand,manages to escape but the queen yells she’s killed the king.

Roark & thane realize she had been summoned by princess when Kael arrives, but yrsa is w them- they run, horns sound, Lyra is running towards edge of stone gate, the queen is sobbing, ash scar is bleeding & coldness burns
