Casteel talks to one of the most ancient powerful creatures as if he was a moody teenager arguing with his parents and all I can think is about that time Malik called Cas a “brat” lmao 😭 this is so funny

ALERT SPOILER ALTIF.

so Attes , Primal of War and peace is described As being dark haired and having golden eyes, AND DIMPLES, when i forst read his description, i first thought " ELIAN DA'NEER" but then he was introduced as Attes, so i got this huge ass theory where Casteel is the desendant of the primal of War. AND IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE !!

Cause as much as i love my baby, Cas is bloodthirsty, he never hesitate to kill, manipulate, slaughter and cause bloodbaths.

Also he is very powerful, he can compel people to do whatever he wants, And Poppy has compared him so many times to a God, Jen rarely writes anything just because she feels like it.

But you would say :" Ooh but what is the difference between him and any other bloodthirsty character in the book ?", or " it's because of what the vamprys did to him that he is like this".

You are right. I have no explanation other than the fact that i truly want Attes to be Cas and Malik's great great grandfather.

Imagine the Chaos they would cause if the met ??

Cas : wtf are you? And why do you look like me ?

Attes : look like you?? i look so much better than you

Attes:

"a tall figure filled the entryway. The sword at the hip was a wicked, curved one, the kind crafted for beheading. Light, blondish-brown hair framed high cheekbones and a chiseled jaw as hard as the thin layer of shadowstone armor worn over a broad chest and shoulders. A shallow scar ran from his hairline and across the bridge of his straight nose, then down his left cheek, the healed wound a shade of pale pink."

"The way he stood there—the frenetic, violent energy brimming just beneath his flesh and the glow of essence pulsing behind his pupils said one thing. He was a warrior. The Primal’s silver gaze slowly drifted over us as the corners of his lips tipped up. A deep divot in his right cheek appeared first, and then an identical one in his left."

He is 100% without a shadow of doubt the primal the da'neer man come from. The hair is the same as Valyn and Malik, the dimple obviously, the detail of description in the nose which is interesting because casteel's nose has also a memorable description between the lines of incredibly straight for a guard and the angular face. Moreover, it's not only his looks but his personality which probably has something to do with the fact that he is the primal of war therefore his bloodline would maintain that attitude. Not only Casteel but also Malik and even Valyn have that exact same attitude. I am not sure how to explain it because it's not like a "superiority complex" but is like "I give a shit of what and who you are, I deserve respect and if I do not get it then I will make you respect me one way or another" which is fucking hot honestly, this dude attes could also bend me down any moment honestly.

plus Jen never writes in vain, if poppy says Casteel was like a god of war then there is a connection there

However, I am conflicted by all of this and a little bit confused because as far as I can recall attes it is not mentioned by flood and ash characters as to be the god of war but another god is, one of the twins that are friends with nyktos whose names I cannot remember but nektas said that casteel's ancestor was alive so i am so confused why he is alive and he is not the god of war by flood and ash time. My theory have always been that all god and primals of sera's time must have died so they were replaced and as sera and nyktos were king and queen they had their friends as the gods of different stuffs. But for now i am just confused

ALSO SAME I love my baby cas and my baby Malik but girl they are bad, i am sorry people cannot argue that they like literally murders, war crimes is the soft thing on their list lmao it just makes sense that they are descendant of the go of WAR but they are also good and fair people, they are protectors and want to actually save the realms so it also makes sense that they descend from ACORD. Even Nyktos says that Attes prefers accord over war however it is clear that he will not hesitate if needed just like malik and cas

I agree with you, but I also think they are in fact different from other characters despite many of them being brutal. Malik and Casteel just won't hesitate, they would go to the extreme if they believe it to be necessary. Violence and "War" are a part of them just as anything else, it's almost their primal reaction, they do not question, they get defensive and attack, and that reaction is shown multiple times. Examples: Casteel getting defensive over what Nektas says or when they visit nyktos, when malik threatened poppy after she made a comment about Millicent. Those examples show the type of attitude I meant in my other response but also the fact that they do not even consider or care little about who they are talking to, it could be a primal or a draken or a mortal, they do not care, another example is when kieran calls millie insane and malik is hurtful on purpose and remains him of the lover he lost, then Casteel when he killed all those mortals, Atlantians, and wolven for attacking poppy and displayed them in the grand hall. The point is that they do not care who they are hurting if they believe is needed, whatever is physical or emotional, they would choose violence when other characters do not but because their first instinct

idk maybe i am just talking nonsense lmao that it's just my perspective

plus I also want to see them interact, it will be so funny

UPDATES POST lmao

The thing is i am also very confused. Because if Layla is the goddess of War and accord, then it mean the former Primal of war and accord was dead, then how is that Attes is still alive??

Attes' description reminds us of Valyn, therefore we know for sure he is the one who has a godly descendnat and Not eloana. However , if Valyn is a descendant of a primal, then he is a deity , he can even be a god, which would make Casteel and Malik gods ...

I also have questions concerning Valyn, if he was a deity, then how did he survive Malec?? Didn't he kill all of the dieties ??. And if he isn't, then what was his title before marrying Eloana and becoming King?? Who was he ??

We already know that he is the descendant of Elian, the forst ever atlantian. But this just makes things more confusing.

I truly believe Casteel and Malik will both ascend into godhood at some point of the plot, there could be many reasons by and how but I just have the feeling that the brothers will have an iconic upgrade at some point for a reason or another

oh wait wait wait I know you of all people will love my supper delulu theory about Valyn before Eloana:

Valyn? My man? He was a farmer. Do I have actual concrete proof? no, but have a feeling. Casteel’s first opinion of lie when he was asked in Solis for his family was to say that they were farmers, then he has been interesting in reading about farming since he was a child, them Cas also says that Malik's boot would always be dirty because he would be outside all day and also Casteel loves horses. conclusion? They were raised by someone that loves being outside, likes animals and likes farming or is at least interesting in the subject because that was their lifestyle since childhood even though they were princess. I rest my case your honor

valyn before eloana:

OH I LOVE THAT TOO I can totally see them. But not just as a simple guard but as you said like a general or something and he had to work his ass off to be there because at that point and before the mass murder that malec caused, atlantia was ruled by dieties so he had to prove himself to be an equal/a worthy rival. Because of not being a guard but more like a general or whatever, he wouldn’t always be around but every time he visited the palace he would make sure to see the queen at some point of his visit, even of she didn’t pay him much attention but he could not help it because she was the most beautiful woman he has ever since and he finds her attitude entertaining. Besdies, each time he visits realized that malec and eloana's marrige is literally falling a part and it’s worse every visit and at first “he was like well that is none of mu businesses” until he finds the queen crying about something her husband did or say or he saw malec give eloana the type of behavior a husband shouldn’t give his wife and he is PISSED to say the least, he starts to grow resentful towards malec and he believes he is unworthy of such a beautiful woman but he knows his hands are tied up because he can do nothing and that would frustrate them and piss him of more. He would try to help the queen by listening to her and with the past of time they grew a friendship, well actually she did, valyn just fell completely in love like he was fucked. The things is that he became her confident and not even her. could deny the tension between them but still she was not a cheater, not even if malec cheated. Then the war happens and Valyn is ready to decapitate whoever does not support eloana’s claim to the crown by herself, he is there for her support her through everything. Now that she is single, she allows herself to let whatever they have flow and they have to face it, their are completely in love

tadaaan

Malec and Eloana plus Valyn

I want go see the world burn honestly. I said this already but I want Eloana and Malec to have this resentful attitude where they trow beef at everything the other says. And plus Valyn because I know my man will have eloana's back against everything. Besides, I can see Malec don’t liking Valyn not because he wants Eloana back or something but I believe Malec gives vibes of being that type of man that believes his dick changes a woman’s life forever so the fact that she remarried, moved on, had a life and named someone else king??? I think he would be like “this fucking idiot who he think he is, i am a god i am so much better than he him” bla bla bla and then Valyn, as I said he is always there for eloana plus he said he believed that Malec did not deserve her love so I don’t think Valyn likes Malec either, he probably recents him for what he did to his beloved wife (honestly same valyn)

I hope we get at least a snake peak of Sera and Isbeth

this is an obvios one, I just want to see isbeth literally suffering and sera having fun

Malik and his parents

this one is going to hurt me like a bitch. It already did when Valyn seemed about to cry when he saw Malik again and Malik couldn’t even look at his father. Malik recents his parents for hiding the truth from him so there is so much tension in here. I want the pain that come with this reunion but I hope that at the end everything is happy again

Millicent and Ires

I want ires to see his daughter again and not just poppy

Jadis and Nektas

an obvious one

Ires and Malec

There is a lot to unpack between this two. I highly doubt they will be just ok with one another after everything that happened around them. I think this could be a tensed moment for resentment, blame and idk I just feel that it can’t be all perfect and harmonic between these two after every thing that happened

Malec and his parents

Also Ires and Malec reunion?? Girl i wouldn't want to be there when that happens, but also Ires was manipulated by Isbeth, she herself admitted that Iris came to help his brother, but i don't really think he knew that Isbeth was Malec's heartmate. Idk, that b"tch was manipulative and a huge liar, who says she didn't lie to Poppy in the first place and kidnapped Iris from the moment he landed on the mortal realm?? This is why we need the other books !!.

reunions i want to add

Attes and Casteel and Malik :

Attes at first would be like : who the hell is this less-handsome versions of me ?? But then when he would get to know them he would be so proud of them and prolly teach them some ways to skin someone al while keeping them alive durimg the whole thing, because as much as i love my babies they are bloodthirsty.

Sera and Casteel and Malik : i think she would be pissed at them at first but then she will like them .

Nyktos , Millicent and Poppy : as much as people say that Poppy is just a red head version of Sera ,she reminds me of Nyktos :other tahn being a read headed virigin that was betrayed by a royal she is a bit reserved, she is kindhearted and loyal, and always thinks about balance , justice and fairness. Seraphena is more of a chaotic character ( like Millicent ) She does share a lot of traits with Poppy ( like the anger issues), but idk Poppy takes more after Nyktos. However i think Millicent is more like Sera.

- ires and malec thing same I wouldn’t like to be there. Agree, ires was of course manipulated, threatened and abused but I honestly do not know whose side malec will chose because isbeth was his heartmate and he seemed to love her so maybe he will like gaslight himself into believing that she was not that bad. I imagine being like “you had children with her” or “you came to saved me as you say but you ended up having two children with my heartmate” and ires like “well i did not want to”. Idk there are a lot of unsolved issues there.

Attes and the Da’neer boys: agree, no matter how rough and uninteresting malik and cas can pretend to be i think they will be intrigued by attes and attes will be like “damn by bloodline has done something” and yes then he will teach them how to skin someone and they will be like practically taking notes

sera, malik and cas: agree, I do not believe malik and cas will be received with open arms by the mierels lmao but they will grow used to them and end up liking them, after all they do love millicent and poppy to death, they are brave, strong, *generally* kind or at least cas 💀, What existes me the most about this encounter is that while sera and nyktos have their plan and are proceeding carefully, casteel has his own plan and his own way of proceeding and he is a hardheaded that will not care who he is talking to so i do not think he will give up his own “way of working” so easily

Casteel talks to one of the most ancient powerful creatures as if he was a moody teenager arguing with his parents and all I can think is about that time Malik called Cas a “brat” lmao 😭 this is so funny
