Truly is there anything more poetic than Beau & Veth showing perfect teamwork in pulling off an insane combo to get Beau flying through the air and collaring Trent in the last M9 ep, but then aggressively pivoting to Beau ripping out Scanlan's throat in the first kill of M9 V VM???
Hey so this might be the late night and caffeine talking but here goes the crazy conspiracy train. Buckle up y’all. So we know that prior to the rise of Molly, his bastard og form was making a deal with a “magic woman” that may or may not have had something to do with his death. Crazy thought, but what if the woman that Lucien was making a deal with is the same woman that resurrected Nott??? Like both of them were resurrected by a “mysterious magic woman” but with major complications? Or I guess Lucien losing his memory was a complication that may have been due to it being one of the first times this experiment was done. Later on, Nott’s transformation was maybe an experiment to see if memories could be retained even if the body was altered. And this could be a reach, but what if these experiments had ties to Lucien’s desire to gain immortality, and that could potentially be done by getting new bodies every time you die?? Or changing to a long-lived race?? Or a more powerful one? We know dunamancy had to do with entropy and time, this could be the Empire’s bastardisation of the Xhorhasian concept of “birth” that comes from the beacons, and a means of gaining soldiers that can perhaps never be killed??
