wdym by forging a guardian of nature by a cookies soul. wdym this could be fs related considering his trial chamber is lurking. what does it all mean.
okok pitaya and fs made a deal, fs escaped his tragic demise, he turned to fs. could it be that inbetween his transformation he met the nether queen???? pitaya didnt make him a guardian of nature, he just. became one.
WHAT WHAT i need answers. ouuhhh boy the possibility he never got a say in becoming a guardian of nature..
SEE ITS FUNNY. ITS FUNNY BECAUSE THAT IS ACTUALLY MY CURRENT THEORY. and the funniest part is either way fire spirit Never got a say in becoming a guardian (neither did the others, to note. wind archer didn't even get a choice on if he wanted to be a cookie), mtree decided to loop three cookies he'd been observing into nature alongside himself and wind archer.
the guardians have NEVER had a choice. nether queen hammers that point home with her. well. Everything
and that lack of autonomy is awfully reminiscent of two certain other groups in this game, who also had their choice robbed from them. no wonder the guardians are haunting the narrative
nether queen does have some veeery Interesting lines, though. ones implying she's encountered cookies similar to white lily before. ones implying she's met cookies with a certain courage in their hearts.
of course, this Is contrasted by her saying she's never Met the guardians who stay above, but then again. she Saw a guardian being forged from a mortal soul. the word 'forged' stands out to me, given forging has association with flame.
and this line from one of her kingdom interactions (with onion cookie, to note, who is a ghost) also makes me raise my eyebrows juuust a little. you remain here because it is fated to be.
you, a spirit made of flame and a need to survive, remain because nature demands it.
pitaya fused a mortal with fire itself. and then nature responded to millennial tree's call and forged a guardian from that former mortal soul.
and in-between that fusing with flame, i'm sure nether queen talked to that mortal for a while. after all, his demise hit all the points for opening a portal to tartrus, didn't it?
(also. just how DID fire spirit survive that long trapped in flames. could it be that a certain queen of the underworld was tasked with keeping this cookie, who was suspended in a state of not quite alive yet not quite dead, from crumbling so the dragon can reach him? could it be that fire spirit, like frost queen, had his fate decided by nature from the start?)
point is i 100% believe fire spirit is the guardian nether queen was talking about. yes i know she has associations with frost queen too, but. side eyes fire spirit's everything. and the reversed othalas i kept seeing around tartrus. idk. just a hunch.
