All New Banana Song

A prologue to Frater’s visit. The Ancients are not faring well, imprisoned in the catacombs. River’s grief is drying him out. They are in bad shape.

😭😭😭

I knooooooowwwww I’m sorry! I need to wrap things up and stay focused…. my adhd brain gets too excited and bounces all over the place. Someone’s gotta keep me in line. I will list the following storylines that I need to wrap up; someone hold me accountable 😅😅😅

Frater seeing the Ancients in the catacombs

Alpha’s summoning before Frater and finally cracking and collapsing his mind

Air and Earth’s dry spell (this and the Alpha one are correlated)

Astra’s kitnapping

Storm and Rain in the catacombs

Earth and Tempest

Charon’s kitnapping and Tempest’s cracking

She’s dangerously close to learning what she shouldn’t… Swiss overheard too much of Perpetua’s plan, and Aurora is headed that way too… And it’s a win-win; get rid of one of Copia’s ghouls, and remind Tempest whom she serves. And maybe another little win in getting to hurt her a lil bit…….

And since Perpetua wanted Storm gone, hating him in fact, Rain has reason to defend, and Dewdrop served under Frater and was looked after when Alpha had to fake being an a-hole, Alpha for sure will make sure to defend and protect

Even though he’s shaking in his boots, cause his fear of the clergy runs deep, Alpha makes Frater a candle with an Eternal Flame; listening to this flame will help him keep an eye on Frater, as long as he’s around that flame. He doesn’t tell Frater that’s what he’s doing, just keep that candle lit. The Ancients will protect him.

+bonus; Alpha has an Eternal Flame at the door of the catacombs, one in the nursery, one in Earth/Air’s room, one in Rain/Storm’s room, one in his/Dew’s room, and now one in Frater’s office; that’s a lot of flames to be listening to at all times

At least Sunny and Mist are okay!

...right?

Sunny and Mist are okay……. for now…

Calling it now, it’ll be a looooong road to forgiveness

The truth will always catch up… If Tempest is going to die, she needs Aurora to know the truth.

AND AND!! Alpha will see that Frater can be trusted and is a good man who cares about the ghouls.

SOAP OPERA WAITING TO HAPPEN

To Dew’s devastated surprise, there will be some sort of comfort from Alpha. Dew doesn’t understand it, not when [redacted] happened, but Alpha will try to soften her walls. He sees what Dew doesn’t.

Perpetua has big plans….. just so long as Copia stays out of them. Until the time is right.

Unfortunately, it’s kind of a “browse and read” situation…. I’ve thought about doing a pinned post explaining some details, relationships, and storlyines, but… lazy…… I know it would probably help the new followers.

Under a readmore juuuuuuust in case
