Any guesses about what lies in the future for Aranea?
I really think Roxy is going to wake up and steal the ring for Calliope. I mean, she’s a rogue, so stealing things for the benefit of others is right in her wheelhouse.
At that point we find out if continuing to wear the ring is necessary to continue living. The characters continually suggest it is, but that could be a big red herring. I think she won’t be able to stay alive without it, but I also think she won’t go back to being a ghost. BKEW told me about his theory that the ring of life and the ring of void are the same, and on that note I think she might end up on the void side of thing. She’s currently all full of life on like a dozen different levels, so removing the ring could end up double killing her, or she miiiiight invert to an heir of doom prince of void (no more 2AM blogging for Milli).
Either way I don’t see her making it out of here in a good state. She’s demonstrated too much arrogance to not have a huge punishment coming. I’m still really pissed at her for killing Jade, even if Jade was possessed.
