The dragon king's death

We are told the dragon king was killed by using really powerful and really dark magic. So Viren must have played a huge role in it right? But I don't picture him as the one killing the dragon king and not mentioning it. So, who did it? I know there were probably many soldiers who could do it but when it comes to actually killing the dragon king there is only one person that I can picture doing it.

Amaya

Yes, not Viren or Harrow but Amaya.

I mean she is so badass she must have been there. And she probably wanted revenge for her sister and friend Sarai (just as much as Harrow who also could have done it because of that) so yeah she is the only one I can imagine doing it and to be honest? I wouldn't even be mad at her.

I’m a slytherin guy

Now I want to tell you something about my Hogwarts House - Slytherin.

 As is well known, Slytherin represents ambition, pride and cunning.

Again and again when I make the test on pottermore and many others, it came out that I'm a Slytherin. My big brother said it suits me very well because I'm very cunning and smart. But I don’t know what to say much about that. ;D But what I can say is that I'm really ambitious. For example in my studies. I have a lot to study and to read a lot of books, although I can't really call that "struggling through the books" because I actually love reading books. Sometimes it's just very exhausting, but I'm interested in what I'm doing. And that gives me strength and, above all, ambition to learn the material I have to learn. xD

But even in everyday life I often prove to myself that I am ambitious, because I often discover things for myself, these become my hobby and I am ambitious to create something for it. Like teaching myself healing herbalism, you know - herbs and mushrooms and stuff.. ;D But even though I'm writing a book, I'm still ambitious to finish it. I also showed a lot of emotional ambition, especially when I was a teenager. Ambition just gives you so much power. More power than you think you have at first. I keep noticing that in myself.

Anyway, I'm very happy and proud to be part of the Slytherins. I like all aspects of Slytherins. Good or bad, I love Slytherins. In the end, it's just an incredibly great and magical story. If I were at Hogwarts

I would be extremely and especially interested in Potions at Professor Snape because I just find potions so magical and mystical. But I would also read a lot about dark arts, magic - stuff like that, oh- AND about Quiddich. Not necessarily because I'd belong to the dark side, although that wouldn't be...let's say- not impossible. xD

Well, at least I would be very interested in mystical, udiscovered, secret and hidden magic, especially in potions. In my free time at Hogwarts, instead of brewing potions and reading books, I would love to play Quiddich. Preferably as a chaser or a seeker. My pet would definitely be my cutie but sometimes evil black cat. <3 My Patronus (I also found that out in the Pottermore test) is a ferret. I think it's great! And most of all I would love to be able to speak Parseltongue and own a snake!! I love snakes!

What about you?

Have a magical day! Ellie ;3

When all else fails, deal with the dead

25 days until season six of The Dragon Prince is finally released 😁 been waiting for this for AGES!

Villains who deserve redemption (✧ω✧) (Parte 2: Honte)

I know he’s not a villain per se, but that was my first impression (´-ω-`)

I thought he was someone cunning, willing to do whatever it took to survive—even surrendering to his captors. Discovering that the ‘Honte’ we were presented with was nothing more than a puppet surprised me greatly ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : )

It’s because of that initial impression that Honte is in this category instead of the other.

But here we go—the reason I believe he deserves ‘redemption’ lies in his backstory. He shares the same background story as Sir Rex, and we were given hints that there might be a way to make dark magic good.

Furthermore, being used as a marionette by someone you trusted (assuming Bernard was his alchemy professor) must have been heart-wrenching ｡ﾟ(｡ﾉωヽ｡)ﾟ｡

If somehow he could have stayed alive during his time as a puppet, he might have resisted self-destruction in some way and survived.

If he survived, Cale’s group would likely take care of him and help him improve. He could even become a key player in Bernard’s demise. And why do I say this?

Well, to provide context, the main reason I’m writing this is because of a speech that popped into my mind out of nowhere when I couldn’t sleep. Here it goes:

Kindness? Kindness?! You’ve never been kind to me for a single day of your life! Every so-called ‘moment of unity’ we’ve had has been nothing more than you finding a quicker way to turn me into a puppet! You’ve never cared about me! You brought me and hundreds of other children here for your twisted experiments, promising a better life! You and your followers tortured us and reveled in our despair! You turned me into a marionette! For years, you used my body to harm others! I was your weapon! And when I was no longer useful to you, you discarded me! The only reason I’m alive is because the so-called ‘enemy’ took pity on me! They helped me! They gave me everything you promised but never delivered! They cared for me and treated me as one of their own! To me, they are not the enemies! You are the enemy, and I will gladly be the weapon that ends you! Be happy, dear professor. This student knows more about how this world works than you do, and I’ll happily demonstrate it in my graduation project. Your death.

It’s foolish and very emotional, but it seems perfect for the confrontation between Bernard and Honte. o(>ω<)o

We must take into account that since the Queen of Death told us that there was a way for dark magic to be good, the information on how she thought it was possible was probably in her book on dark magic.

Cale would definitely give this book to Honte, and considering that he was already seen as a prodigy even before the possession, it’s likely that he could make the Queen of Death’s theories a reality ＼(٥⁀▽⁀ )／

Perhaps even thinking of her as a mentor, similar to Mary.

And what would that method be? I believe it involves using the user’s own blood. Whether it’s using your own blood to draw magical circles or making blood sacrifices during spells, utilizing your own vitality instead of sacrificing others could be the way for dark magic (now called dark magic, distinguishing it from traditional dark magic) to be natural.

Essentially, dark mages would be crystal cannons—extremely powerful, but if they’re careless or overwork themselves, they could die. This could be mitigated with blood replenishment potions, although it wouldn’t change the essence of their powers (¯▿¯)

I wish the author had addressed this plot hole, and that’s why I believe Honte deserves redemption.

Mariana

Chapter 1: Prologue — “Meet Magician Stage, Who’s Woman Speaking Backwards Spells”

Intro (optional but vibey):

Lights. Velvet. Blood on the boards.

The show begins with a whisper, a rabbit, and a secret too old for the spotlight.

Here’s the first look into Mariana, my original supernatural noir/fantasy series.

body : (TL;DR)

“Magic is misdirection. Glamour. Illusion.

But Mariana Agostinho doesn’t just wave a wand—she wields words that wound.”

In the shadow of stage lights and velvet curtains, Mariana Agostinho performs miracles for the price of applause. But what her audience doesn’t know is that every show is a spell, and every spell carries a cost.

Before the ghosts, the gods, and the grief, there was only her:

A girl with backwards spells on her tongue, and fire in her fingertips.

This is how it begins.

Welcome to the world of blood-soaked magic, cursed rabbit tricks, and backstage horror. The Mistress of All Magic takes the stage…

And someone always bleeds.

Chapter 1: Prologue — "Meet Magician Stage, Who's Woman Speaking Backwards Spells"

It starts with velvet curtains and a lie.

A single spotlight slices through the dark like a magician’s blade through a volunteer’s torso. Dust dances in the beam, glittering like crushed diamonds. The crowd waits—silent, hungry, enchanted before the show even begins.

Then the music starts. A slow, jazzy swing with just a hint of menace. And from the fogged-up edge of the stage, she steps forward—heels clicking, hat tilted low, tux tailored to kill.

Mariana Agostinho.

Quarter Homo Magi. Stage illusionist. Occult hunter. Mistress of All Magic. Also, your host for the evening.

She smiles wide enough to hide secrets in.

“Welcome to the show,” she purrs into the mic, voice like red wine and sharp glass. “But first, a little trick. Repeat after me—"

She flips her wrist, conjuring a single tarot card between her fingers: The Magician.

“eromyna tsuj ton s’ti.”

The crowd laughs nervously. The lights flicker. Somewhere in the cheap seats, a man seizes up and falls from his chair, eyes rolled back white. The ushers drag him out before anyone screams. Mariana barely blinks.

This is the cost of her magic—backwards spells laced with real power. Every show, someone bleeds. Every night, something stirs.

This is the stage.

But when the curtain drops and the applause fades, Mariana steps out of the limelight and into something darker: alleyways with broken sigils, cursed motel rooms, and creatures that do not clap.

The audience never sees the real show. Not the demons. Not the cults. Not the twisted gods with vendettas older than America. But Mariana does. And she faces them down in thigh-high boots and a damn good choker.

Because when the show ends, the hunt begins.

And tonight?

There’s something in the front row that shouldn’t be breathing.

She tips her hat, and grins.

“Curtain up, darling.”
