    There was a colossal, inconceivable maw hidden beneath the waves, stretching from one horizon to another. The terrible whirlpool that had almost shattered the ketch was caused by these titanic jaws opening and sucking in an immense plain of water.

    When some inconceivable being rose from the depths to pull him under the water and devour him, Sunny summoned the shadows and turned into a giant butterfly, carrying the ketch with his six long legs.

    he hasn't started another cycle. He has just moved back in time on the same one so those creatures are still as dead as he left them

    This span of the Great River was just as dangerous as the far reaches of the future, where Sunny had faced the Azure Serpent, the Black Turtle, the Dark Butterfly, and the countless other abominations that had almost feasted on his flesh.

    no, that shouldn't be the case. In this instance, Cassie isn't depending only on what Torment said .She said she was certain that at the heart of the Estuary lies a means to become Fateless. That both she and Torment know that to be true

    Sunny raced to the Source, afraid of the passage of time.

    They also don't have time to wait. Right now they have the element of surprise since Torment is already dead and no one is controlling the hordes of Defiled around Verge. But if they stay put longer, the enemies will sniff them out and start attacking them when they are so far away from the 1st Seeker. it will make it much more dangerous for the entire Cohort.

    I've never really thought about Weaver's lineage having a legacy 🤔

    Yeah. The important thing is being able to stand by the decision you make even if things turn out oddly

    Oh, I see 👍

    Later, Cassie helped him escape the endless tunnel by sending him toward the Heart of Darkness. She also manipulated the battle against the immense horde of Nightmare Creatures as Morgan's adviser, making sure that Sunny was in the right place, at the right time, to deal the final blow to the Fallen Titan, Defiled Seeker of Truth, and therefore received the Mirror of Truth from it.

    That doesn't seem to be something he can control with whatever is at the Estuary. It seems it will either leave it or erase it rather than giving him control of the process

    However, he also knew that any kind of relationship between them — at least the current them — was impossible as long as Shadow Bond existed.

    She said they can manage without him. He's not betraying them or sacrificing his friendship

    But think about it this way - you have to hear the knowledge to be defiled. But at the Estuary, it is unlikely there is a being there that will try speaking to him. And Sin of Solace has been shut up by the Mad Prince. So maybe once he is incorruptible, he can block his other senses and move to the well

    "The Mad Prince had entered the Estuary in search of his freedom, but failed to resist the Defilement and became Corrupted instead. Thus, the endless cycles continued. This cycle, though, was engineered by Torment and him specifically to make sure that all members of the cohort survive. Whether you find the Estuary or not, there are mere days left before Nephis storms Verge and kills the First Seeker. The end… is already inevitable."

    I don't think it is correct to say "the Spell made him [Fated]". Aspects and attributes have existed before the Spell. They are properties born from your soul. The Spell just makes it easier by quantifying it rather than you discovering by trial and error

    "I don't know, exactly. What I do know, without a shadow of a doubt, is that my words are true. If you reach the very heart of the Estuary before the Nightmare ends, you will become free from fate. You will be fateless. The strings that hold you like a puppet will set you free, and your connection to Nephis will be broken as a result. I saw it, and Torment saw it as well."

    I don't think the Mad Prince aimed to be Fateless. His obsession was bringing Neph back to life no matter the cost. The rest were just sprinkled additions

    This is G3 we're talking about. He subverts expectations. He won't write himself into a corner even if he got rid of the shadow bond. While you're here trying to figure out 3D chess, he has some 5D moves planned ♟️ to bamboozle you

    "It might not be true for anyone else. But it's true for you, Sunny. If you reach the Estuary… your wish to be free will come true. Free of your bond, free to live your life the way you want. Free of fate itself."

    This statement - they killed Neph to break the bond - is questionable 🤔. They turned on her after being Corrupted since she is immune to Corruption. And we know corruption will push to snuff out anything that isn't corrupted as its natural enemy

    It's more indirect manipulation. For example, if you want someone to cover a certain area of the battlefield but can't do it directly, you position others in various areas so that the area you want is the one left and the person is sent there

    There was no need to explain the significance of the Sin of Solace. That Memory, containing the whisper of the builder of the Tomb, was perhaps the most important piece at play here, in the Third Nightmare. It was responsible for creating the Mad Prince, after all… and therefore introducing a variable into the endlessly repeating cycles of the Great River.

    Yeah. Last I recall, some had entered Nightmares to attempt becoming Masters. Unfortunately, I doubt any was with them to enter this harrowing Nightmare and survive to become Saints

    And these instances were only what Sunny could remember, and had experienced personally. There was no telling how many strings Cassie had really pulled from behind the curtain, how many people she had influenced, and how many coincidences she had engineered to arrange for everything to happen in accordance with her wishes.

    The Spell would have left them with a way forward I believe

    Finally, she was there at the Battle of the Black Skull, without a doubt knowing what would happen. She was in the Nightmare Desert, as well, eventually entering the Nightmare of the Great River with the six other powerful Masters — Sunny, Nephis, Mordret, Kai, Effie, and Jet.

    It was one creature with multiple heads. And yes, a Titan
