do you think timothy will confront moonlight and pleads for shadow’s dad’s blessing
Haha, I’m sure he would if he had the opportunity to do so!
Pretty sure hand to hand combat will be useless for him as Moonlight’s magic could easily stop him)?
…but Lady Blackheart will have the same stlye of magic, so they’ll cancel each other out.
The deciding factor is going to be the human resilience of Tim, Tom and maybe Spencer and Craig
(Of course if the rescue prty includes Marcy, then it’s a real bloodbath!)
Its a solo rescue mission, unless Blackheart goes herlself or tells Tim the truth and teaches him how to magic 101, there is no chance of saving Shadow
Why do you assume it would be a solo mission?
I beleive that it has to br (at least) a family rescue.
Ruth is necessary to access the portal under the bed and I don;t see Tom staying at home when his wife and son are involved. From a conflict point of view, it would be intelligent to include as mayt extra bodies as capable. Craig and Marcy already know Shadow and have seen whar Noxians are like, Spencer is as yet unknown but is an extra body and could be useful.
I see a rescue party is needed.
Brandon already said in 306 “It’ll be a one man sneaking mission!” also Ruth is not needed at all to access the portal, just her Aegis and the necessary knowledge on how to use it to go to Nox and return, i dont think just 1 Aegis is enough to let more than one person to Nox, even if she was High Mother and could have many, only one was enchanted, he also said a group mission is more likely to develop later, i think it has to be with the door Terminus wants to open that could create a great breach between dimensions
I note thar High Mother Moonlight is wearing three (3) aegises.
s this A) a badge of office or rank and only other High Lords or High Mothers can wear three at once
or B) wearing three conveys extra powers (like accessing mirrors in the human world instead of only closets
and bed)
perhaps
C) It’s just FASHION (“I’m High Mother and I hand out aegises to the girls, so if I want to wear three or
twenty, I can and will. Of course some girls will have to miss out.”)
It’s just fashion, really. Probably only one of them is real.
Thank you for eliminating unnecessary plot complications.
I’ve mentioned it before, several times. Haha I also don’t think that hard about it, personally.
Just a note: Why do you expect the total number of Aegises match total number of girls? It’s completely possible they have whole room filled with spares and if High Mother wants to wear some as a fashion choice noone will miss out anything.
Hmmm… accpted as a possibility.
I was thinking that since they’re quite powerful objects. it’s like issuing rifiles to infantrymen, one each ONLY and any spares are kept in the armoury under lock and key and guarded.
If they’re at all valuable then maybe they’re only made in exact numbers and only issued upon final graduation from whatever training course (Like pilots’ wings)
I guess the next move is plotting her escape.
Has anybody yet advised the Newton family?
They’re all still in the dark, so no plotting yet.
Somehow I can’t imagine Moonlight hiding in her chambers, crying. Talk about emotional blackmail… mothers are good at that.
. . . and maybe throw her a blanket or something?
Your darkest angel is NAKED in her cell, Moonlight.
She has to be naked, for… plot reasons.
Ok.. That worries me a little bit.
It’s part of the process of imprisonment.
By making the prisoner uncomfortable (physically OR mentally) you soften them up either for interrogation or behaviour modification.
Which do you think Moonie has in mind for Shadow?
Remember just because somebody is angry it doesn’t mean they don’t still love you
They still care about each other. You’ll see!
Well, that may be why they are angry. In this case, also frustration at how the things repeat without getting any better.
Happy New Year!🥳🎉
Related Note: I don’t like that smug-looking smile on Moonlight’s face. Is she trying to emotionally gaslight Shadow? If so, that’s a VERY low move.(If this was how she was when Ruth was around, it’s no wonder she decided to leave her.)
That expression is a giveaway. The half-lidded eyes, the sideways glance and the halff-smile, showing ALL teeth.
That’s a politician’s (or other conman’s) smile which is saying; “TRUST me (’cause I think I can USE that)”.
If somebody smiles at you like that, check your wallet!
A shit mother who shames her daughter for finding love is probably not worth being called a mom, adopted or not. Moonlight needs to shut the fuck up.
…I actually kinda hate this “mother” now.
Shadow isn’t apologizing to Moonlight
Oh moon…….. You didn’t learn anything from your sister. Of course we don’t know how much she actually knows about her sister’s life but still. She is still alive and healthy but never came back.. that’s a strong hint right there.
At least it doesn’t seem like she’s going to do anything rash.
Thanks for the new page Brandon. Happy New Years everyone. Hope you all had a great Christmas and new Years.
I don’t see a “mother”, I see a madam fully willing to whore her “daughter” out for clout.
