#silver one

Tairn, nods to Violet: Silver one.

Violet: You call me that more often than my actual name.

Andarna: Maybe it’s because he can’t remember your actual name.

Tairn: Your catching on, Goldy.

Violet: Wait… Tairn… you do know our actual names, not just YOUR nicknames… right?!

Tairn: You never call me by my “actual” name!

Violet: That’s because I’m not allowed to!

Violet: That doesn’t mean you can just go around referring to people by some inane part of their physical appearance!

Tairn, chuffs: Fine. *turns to Xaden* Hello, Traitor!

Violet: HEY! That’s not fair!

Tairn: You said I can’t refer to people by their appearance; he does not APPEAR to be a traitor, despite the fact HE IS. If anything, I’m complimenting him for a job-well-done in his complete and utter betrayal.

Xaden, muttering: I’m just surprised he acknowledged my existence at all.

Tairn: Yet somehow that is STILL not enough for the human!

Violet: All I want is for you to call him by an ACTUAL name!

Tairn: Okay… Dain.

Xaden: SERIOUSLY?! NOT AGAIN!!!

Violet: NO! His name, dammit.

Andarna, snort-chuckling: SGAEYL Mr. Grumpy is acting like his nicknames-sake again!

Xaden, stifling a laugh: Sgaeyl doesn’t give a—

Violet, glancing between Xaden & Tairn: — Wait — Which one of them is “Mr. Grumpy?”

Tairn: WHICH ONE OF US?! HOW. DARE. YOU. Clearly, I am NOT “Mr. Grumpy”… for the love of gods — I AM THE FUCKING LIZARD KING — YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW MY REAL NAME!!!

Violet: ACTUALLY, I DO! That still doesn’t answer the question of if you know mine!

Day 29: Your favourite backstory?

Absolutely these four's, having a peek into their previous life was as much as a gift as it was a curse, it left you both heartbroken for their struggles and heartwarmed because of what they're receiving in the present.

Love them 💗

For obvious reasons I can't disclose anything further than this, you may go read the manga If you want to discover what happened : )

Honorable mention to: Simon best priest who's past was...

I think it will be silver (thanks booktok), as it generally follows the pattern of covers that fade into one another… (leaving Silver from the bottom of Onyx Storm to become the top of the next… like smoke & flame ombré) and of course being a rather fitting color for our favorite Silver One — Which is good timing as the previous book was Xaden tailored (in its coloration title with his “Onyx eyes”, *coughs* Onyx and of course what the ending showed *ow* during that Storm)… plus maybe it would elude to a closer to peace subject? As this is rock bottom… and probably going to be a heavily Violet focused book as she’ll be quite on her own (though I also anticipate multiple POV’s more frequently) and thus hope rising from ashes (again fitting).

Day 12: Your favourite quote?

"If there is no light to shine on you, it's your turn to protect the light."

These words by Spriggan are so true, and I feel like they encapsulate a lot of the efforts, hardships and growth many Tamb characters face, perfecty weaving a believable dark fantasy story into existence while still preserving the sweet fragrance of a place to dwell in, a safe harbour to which any pained soul can return to.
