Fandom The Dragon Prince: Deep Trouble [Closed]

[Lucyfer]

Lethe didn’t really think she’d need help with plans to burn the body, but then again, she’d never built a pyre. She didn’t know how hot the flames needed to be to eradicate everything of use to the likes of Aaravos or Claudia. She bit the inside of her cheek, and sighed.

“I don’t suppose you know anything about pyres, do you?” likely not.

Lethe opted to explain, “A dark mage has many useful components.” So did the star-touched. She didn’t know how much of the latter would apply to Viren, but nonetheless, it was possible Aaravos would know a use. “I…don’t want him to become naught but ingredients for Aaravos or his daughter to use.”

He didn’t deserve that.

No one deserved that.

“I’ve never made a pyre for someone before, though. And I…don’t have the talents of fire.”

Willow shrugged at the question, at first a bit confused as to why Lethe asked it, but soon everything was clarified. The potential to be used for ingredients…That would be horrific, especially if he didn’t want his body to be used in such a way.

No, she couldn’t imagine he did.

“I’ve made bonfires before. I’m sure it’s the same concept, just…bigger.” Big enough for an entire body. Willow took a slow, deep breath, not enjoying the conversation. “Making the fire is the easy part for me.”

They would just need to build the pyre. Preferably close to Viren’s body, so they wouldn’t have to drag it too far.

She bit her lip, wondering if her next thought was one she should ask. Oh well. “You seem to know Aaravos quite well. What…what exactly is he capable of?” But the elf had been the one to release Aaravos from his prison, after all of the warnings.

Nothing was ever easy.

A bigger bonfire.

Lethe wasn’t sure that would be sufficient, but they’d have to try. She would have to find a way to make sure Aaravos couldn’t use Viren’s body for anything. It made her worry about what might become of her own body when she passed. She had been purified of dark magic, but she was touched by the star.

How useful was that?

The conversation derailed into a far less pleasant one. “He’s capable of defeating Sol Regem in his prime. Does that not say enough?” There were few Lethe could put in that position. She doubted even Avizandum could have done it. Zubeia certainly couldn’t stand up to him, and she doubted Luna, as well.

The only reason Sol Regem lost his place was because he was blinded and fell into a depression.

Even then…he could have led, if he hadn’t been sulking.

“Sol Regem is a far greater threat than Aaravos to everything that has been built.” Not that she knew how to deal with Aaravos after the fact, nor did she know what Aaravos would do, but he didn’t cause destruction and death like Sol Regem.

They would…have time.

In theory. “I’m not proud of myself for what I have done,” she said, “and I’ll accept whatever punishment is decided on by Zubeia when this is over, but there isn’t time to wait to deal with Sol Regem.”
