Reaper, Chapters 18-20

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, I'm really sad because it turns out that we're having to say goodbye to the united crew as one by one, they each use up all their power coping with some major attacks from Subject One and then go back to the surface. I'm really curious why Ziel is the only one sent up to a totally different area than everything else, and I'm worried that our group is getting a little sabotaged here somehow.
Meanwhile, Lindon and Eithan are still underground, and they're having a heart to heart about what Eithan's plans and goals have been. And then Ozriel shows up, and they're separated.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me
covering Cradle Book ten Reaper chapters eighteen, nineteen, and twenty.
In these chapters, well, everybody has had to split up,

(00:26):
after all. I feel so bad. At the same time,
I kind of appreciate it, and I'm really not sure
what the fuck is going on with Ethan still, guys,
what is he talk? What is he doing? Welcome to
spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.

(01:03):
Thank you very much to Andy for commissioning this episode. Andy,
if you are in the chat. What's going on? So?
Andy sent me an email last week, and then, like
the day he sent it, I got really sick and
I went up having to postpone all of the spoil
mes from last week. So I'm going to be doing
more spoil mes this week than usual. And Andy emailed

(01:26):
asking whether or not we should add a Reaper episode
so that it would be easier for me to fit coverage.
And I'm so sorry that I never applied Andy. I
just got so sick, and then it wasn't until I
started reading for today that I realized I never replied
to you. But he is thinking that it probably would
be best because I've got how many more episodes after this?

(01:49):
I think three are booked, No, just two, So I
think maybe we'll do that. But because I have had
to postpone so much already because of getting sick lit
week when I would normally have wanted to put it
into the schedule, it kind of makes it too crowded
a week now. So I will keep you guys informed

(02:09):
about when I can fit it. It's most likely going
to fall on like a Wednesday or a Saturday, depending
on what I'm able to do. So yeah, I'm going
to try and space things out towards the end so
that I have a little bit more time to talk
about things, probably like make sure that I have the
least to cover in the final episode. In that way,
I won't just have to rush through everything. So thank

(02:31):
you Andy very very much for offering to do that.
This is the thing with trying to predict about a
book that isn't out yet when it gets booked, you
just never really know how you're going to break the
chapters down. It could be really tricky. So anyway, I
just wanted to let you guys know how that was
going to go. For those of you who like to
attend the lives. And now let's talk about what's going

(02:53):
on with Ji Long, who is the guy who starts
off chapter EIGHTEENI I'm guys, can look, I know I
do this like every week, but I just have to
say I love will White so much. I just do.

(03:15):
I love him. And it's things like this, Okay, Remember
when Lyndon went to do his advancement to Underlord and
it started to kick in as he was in the
soul I think he was in the Soul Forge, right
or not? It wasn't Soul Forge, it was soul smith Foundry.

(03:37):
What are they called when it's not the Soul Forge?
But it was Fisher Gesha's place. He starts to like
realize his insight begins to go over, and then all
of a sudden gets fucking tackled by Mercy, who is like,
this is the actual worst place to do this. Wait
until till we are in the vault and you are
surrounded by aura rich treasures, and then you will be

(04:00):
able to do it like that. But if you do
it here, it's going to take way too fucking long.
It could take you like up to a week. And
so he stops and he goes back to normal and
waits to advance until he gets in the vault. Like
she said, he follows her instructions. What I love about
will White's writing is that he will show us the

(04:23):
ideal version of a thing, and then he will show
us what happens with like quote normal people who maybe
don't know or aren't prepared. So like we've seen what's
going on with Kelsa and the fact that she isn't
able to advance as quickly as Lindon is because she
does not have the management of her madra down the

(04:43):
way that he does. And it's just, you know, an
example of having all of the resources but not necessarily
being able to do what everyone else can do with
those same resources. And Ji Long accidentally triggers his advancement

(05:04):
in a way that like just takes him completely by surprise.
And that's like the thing it feels like with everybody
with the Underlord revelation. Everybody seems sort of taken off
guard by it. And he is not in an aura
rich environment. He doesn't even have like the best of
his sacred treasures out. It's like kind of painful, honestly,

(05:30):
the way that this has happened to him, and because
of that, he is going to have a longer advancement.
And like this chapter ends or not the chapter ends,
but his section ends, and it has been like almost
a day and he's not like barely begun. And so

(05:51):
he had been in charge of like a squad essentially
out there in the field fighting, and now he has
to just sit here and advance, and and it sucks,
like he's really frustrated by it. He has to leave them,
like his whole concern has been the fact that his
sister and Kelsa are out there kind of out of
their league and maybe shouldn't have been approved for this

(06:13):
mission at all. And now he isn't even there to
watch their backs in the very like intent way that
only somebody who's friends with them would, you know, I'm
hoping that because he was in charge of the squad,
whoever like winds up taking his place for the time being,
recognizes how important these two are to him and treats

(06:34):
them like their own, because they realize that there will
be hell to pay if something happens to the two
of them, especially considering that the guy who would be
mad about it is now advancing to underlord like fingers
crossed that that's enough to motivate them. But it's just
really interesting to me to get to actually see when
shit doesn't quite go right. You know. I love being

(06:57):
told about the alternatives to the best case scenario, and
it isn't just a theoretical We wind up getting to
watch that play out and actually see what the difference
in practice is. I just love it. I'm just so

(07:19):
excited about it, Like it's so annoying, and I feel
really bad for him because like he has been trying
for this for so long that to stumble on it
like this and not be fully prepared it is really
like it's just frustrating. At the same time, though, this
is a really good example of the difference between him

(07:44):
and Lindon. And that is not to say that Linden
knew completely about the danger. If he wasn't in an
orror rich environment. He had to be told by Mercy,
he had to be stopped before he proceeded with his intention.
But he seems to really like when he decides he's

(08:08):
gonna sit down and he's gonna try to advance, he
faithfully prepares. It's not like ever something he half heartedly
does with the suspicion that may that it probably won't
happen this time. Every time he tries for it, it
feels like he is fully thinking it's probably gonna happen
this time. I think I'm gonna get it this time.

(08:28):
He's got a different attitude about it than Gylong does,
which I just find kind of compelling because, of course,
because he's tried so many times, Gianlong is gonna be
a little bit more cynical about his chances. But considering
like the way that things have happened for Lyndon since
he was born, and all of the obstacles that he
faced in never being able to advance even a little,

(08:50):
he has so much more faith after having advanced so
quickly once he gets out of Sacred Valley. Just an interesting, like,
you know, contrast between the two of them. I just
really like the two of them have so many weird
little similarities, and yet they have just handled the world
around them so completely differently and reacted so completely differently.

(09:11):
So this like, before he starts his advancement, we get
to see some of the fight, and he is talking
about or thinking about how they are not fighting mercilessly
because the fight is for territory, not for extermination, and

(09:31):
I thought that that was really like a like, that's
a nice way to sort of differentiate, you know. I
thought that that was an interesting detail to mention specifically.
And then he is thinking about the fact that the
real battle is going on above their head, literally above

(09:53):
their heads, and he is kind of like overwhelmed by
it a little bit like he's trying not to, but
you really get the sense that he's just like, good God.
Thunder and lightning cracked the sky as underlords clashed in flight.
One was a burly bearded man from the Cloudhammer sect.

(10:13):
His weapon and ring cloud gold sign gave him away.
That was the underlord from the Black Flame Empire. His
opponent was probably twenty years his junior and also carried
a cloud over his head. The Ghost Blade wore gray
robes and a veil over his face, and his gold
sign was a hovering spirit of death. Maudra, Yeah, I

(10:37):
just want to see it. I just want to see it.
I just want to see it. Is that so much
to ask? Genuinely? Like, I love the name ghost Blade. Also,
I'm pretty sure that that's been mentioned before. And I
stopped and talked about it. Then too, so that fight

(10:58):
was one of a hundred under it's fought firing techniques
of incredible scope, with overlords above and between them here
and there, even arch lords. As terrifying as that fact was,
it wasn't as bone chilling as the reality that the
real powers of each side hadn't even moved. The occasional
technique that a herald or stage sent out shone like

(11:20):
sunrise and blotted out spiritual perception all over the battlefield.
Those weren't even attacks, they were warnings. Yeah, this is
uh too much. I am into it. I like what
I love because it's been sort of what the deal

(11:45):
is with monarchs, I'm finally sort of realizing. So unfortunately
I'm gonna have to reference current events here, and I'm
really sorry everybody, But over the weekend while I was sick,
Russia attacked Ukraine and and there has been this sort
of like panic in response, understandably but in no small

(12:08):
part due to the fact that Russia has nukes, and
it's just genuinely like, we can't piss them off because
God knows what they'll fucking do. And that's sort of
the vibe with monarchs and stuff is like just don't
don't do it, don't do it, don't get don't get
them involved, don't start anything. Like we don't want to.
If we have to, if we absolutely have to, then

(12:30):
will do it. But nobody wants that. It doesn't have
to come down to that. So let's just you know,
monarchs just feel like they're so ope that they are
mere threats a lot of the time and don't actually
get to like combat with each other. And it's just
really rare for them to die as well in combat.

(12:51):
Like they'll go at each other and then somebody will
have the advantage in a way that they both sort
of back off and go, all right, well see you
next time. But it's so rare for them to actually
die in combat. It's just really interesting to me the
concept of being too powerful to be used in some ways,

(13:14):
you know, just being used for warnings. So he takes
like the rest of the day off, which is so
funny that he can do this. It's just the battle
is so ongoing that he could just clock out and
like go take a shower and start cycling. And it's

(13:36):
just a very funny sort of there's something almost routine
about it, you know. And he's also thinking about if
he advances, his conditions would get better, but he also
might be able to move gi Chen and Kels to
a safer position, at least one more suitable for low golds.
And that sort of like tickled me a little bit,

(13:58):
the fact that he's so concerned about them that he's
just like, I really just a major part of my
motivation here is getting them the fuck out of here.
They don't they shouldn't be here, Caleb is saying, Oh sorry.
Jake says, how much money would I pay for a
Cradle anime Kickstarter? A lot? Yeah, somebody better wait for
the series to finish. I don't want to wind up

(14:19):
in a fucking situation, but yeah, I would love it.
Caleb says, Cradle geopolitics is very similar to real world.
Let the civilians die in the thousands, because there's a
chance the nukes might get involved. Exactly. It's funny because
we'll be like, well, the nuke would cause so much damage,
but then like millions of people will die. However, it

(14:41):
doesn't result in, like, you know, the death of the
planet in such a way that we couldn't sustain life afterwards.
So I guess I get it. Jake says monarchs as
nukes and the threat of them being used as a
perfect analogy for the rules of engagement cradle. Thank you, Jake.
All Right, so he is thinking about, well, what his

(15:02):
fear is because he's taking Lindon's advice. Can I just
tell you, guys, how delighted I am that he's out
here just taking Linden's advice and he's not being a
little bitch about it the way that he can be,
and I will be fucking fully honest the way that
I can be. There is nothing worse than somebody that
you don't really like giving you good advice, like, oh
the worst. And it's just innate in me to not

(15:24):
want to take advice anyway, like flat out, even if
I do like you, I don't want to be told
what to do or advised unless I specifically ask for it,
which I almost never do because I know how I
react to it even what I ask for it. But
when it's somebody that I don't like giving unsolicited advice,
like forget it, I will actively do the opposite, just

(15:46):
to be a petty little child. It is a toxic trait.
It's no good, and I try to fight it and
I'm getting better, but I am fucking guilty of it.
And we all know that Gylong is this way. So
he is growing this growth. He follows his fear, and

(16:06):
he thinks that it's going to be about caring for
his sister and he it says the aura was thick,
but after so many failed attempts, he had stopped using
the most powerful natural treasures he could. And I'm like,
that doesn't really make sense. Dog like to fail, and

(16:28):
then because you failed, you're like, I guess I'll just
start using like lower quality. Like it's not like they
don't go bad. They don't get used if you don't advance,
do they or maybe they do. Maybe that's what it is.
Maybe it's like when you cook and you're trying to

(16:48):
get this like, you know, like truffle mac and cheese recipe, right,
and you keep using like your best truffle oil and
that shit is not coming out, and you're like, you
know what, all right, I'm gonna use the fucking cheap
stuff next time, because I don't know. Maybe that's what
is going on, because I sort of thought the treasures
like if you can't advance, they just chill and then

(17:09):
you collect them and put them away and you come
back out with them next time. So I didn't really
understand this because I mean, that's what we saw with
Linden was he picked stuff back up and put it
away again after he was done and it hadn't worked.
So I just assume that's always how it went. But
maybe I'm wrong about that, but yeah, so he strained
to sense any change. The very day he had developed

(17:31):
his spiritual perception, he had pushed himself to prove his talent,
to show the Ji elders that he was worthy of
their attention and respect. He had been so afraid to
let them down. The aura around him shivered and triggered
his soul fire. So question because obviously Linden was able

(17:52):
to stop and then proceed with his advancement once he
was in a more advantageous state. John Lung does not
do that. And I'm unclear as to whether or not
that is because he doesn't know that he can stop,
or if it for some reason like was a like

(18:13):
it took like a flame a little bit quicker than
it did with Linden, and it wasn't possible for him
to stop, in fact, the way it had been for London.
But either way, he doesn't like make any attempt to
hold it back here even though he isn't you know,

(18:33):
he's not really in a good place for it. So
I found that sort of puzzling. I was just curious about.
Caleb says, I think when the advancement triggers, the treasures
are consumed for the soul fire that advances their body,
right that, Like, I know that's what happens when the
advancement triggers. But I'm saying he's saying he's not using
the best stuff anymore because he's failed so many times.

(18:56):
And if when you fail, they are not consumed, why
wouldn't you just keep using the good stuff? Like it
doesn't seem like that makes sense to me. I don't know.
Jan says, Gianlong doesn't even know what the revelation was,
But Linden didn't either. He triggers his by accident, doesn't he,
Like I thought that's how it happened when he was
in the uh, in the forger, whatever you call it,

(19:18):
And then Mercy tackles him, stops him, and he picks
it up where he left off when they are in
the vault in a better and more advantageous place, Andy
says Linden was only able to stop when he felt
he was on the precipice of advancing. Once it actually starts,
it just as to go, okay, thank you, Andy, because
that's what I was sort of wondering, Like it felt

(19:40):
slightly different when it happened with Linden, but I couldn't
really put my finger on like, you know, the way
it says sulfire triggered inside him. I didn't remember that
being said with Linden, but I couldn't be sure. So okay, cool.
And he is so flipped out here as he realizes

(20:03):
that this flame that's reforging him is really really slow,
the soul fire. It's like not doing it the way
he wants. And at this rate, he couldn't know how
long it would take him to advance. Days, weeks. He
had just been trying to since the resonance of the aura.
He hadn't truly intended to advance after hundreds, perhaps thousands

(20:26):
of tries. Who would have thought he would succeed now?
And honestly, the worst I feel for him, man, I
am just like, as far as the the mechanics of this, again,
I always want to know details. If people around him

(20:47):
recognize that he's advancing. Can they bring more natural treasures
around him to make the aura denser for him? Or
are whatever treasures around him when it starts the only
few that he gets, because that's what it sounds like,
and that sucks. Elliott says, I think Gilong just didn't

(21:08):
have his good treasures at that moment. No, it specifically
says that he isn't using them on purpose, you know,
So it's just I don't know. It's weird to me,
but it doesn't matter. It started for him. I hope
it doesn't take a fucking week because that guy, he's
going to be in such a mood by the time
he gets out of it, he's going to be irritated
and he's going to be insufferable to be around. So

(21:29):
we go back to our crew in the labyrinth, and
a Little Blue and Orthos are feeling a bit of
a way about Lyndon, like not letting them out of
the key while he while they were fighting, and I
love Yarine has to come over and be like, all right,

(21:50):
so like here's what happened, And finally Orthos and Little
Blue are like fine, I guess that's like a good
excuse or whatever, and I just really enjoy it when
they get a bit of an attitude. Sorry, everybody, I
just want to address a couple of comments. Caleb says

(22:10):
maybe he's been using them for soul fire since he's
been fighting. Not sure, might be a small slip up.
Rob says, I interpreted it as the natural treasures are
only there for meditation, slash finding the unity, but the
area density of the area is what controls the speed.
I mean. It says that he didn't use as good
treasures and that was the problem. So yeah, I don't know,

(22:32):
it's there's there's a specific line that I'm just I
read that said he after failing so many times, he
had stopped using the most It says the aura was
thick enough, but after so many failed attempts, he had
stopped using the most powerful natural treasures he could. He

(22:57):
specifically says, I'm just I could use better and I'm not,
you know, So, I don't know, I'm just saying that's
what the words say there. It feels like really purposeful
and like he just made a really pointless, stupid choice
for some reason. That doesn't make a lot of sense
to me, but anyway, so these guys are all regrouping

(23:21):
because the fucking labyrinth keeps on like changing doorways and
making them wait, and there's all shit going on like
that is slowing them down, because, as it turns out,
we find out Subject one has basically like fully taken
Raygan Shehn's side and whatever it is that Raygan Shen

(23:42):
is offering it, it sounds like Raygan Shen is basically like,
I'm gonna take this power and like either kill you
or cause you to not exist or absorb you in
such a way like the vibe that I get later on,
and I'll get to that specific moment, but when he
is in Linden's head, when Linden connects with Subject one,

(24:03):
he says something like a monarch will finally come and
end the like shit that they started basically, and there's
a sense of Subject one knowing that it's going to
either die or simply cease to be or whatever, and

(24:24):
it being fine with that because after all this time,
it's just been like sitting here starving. Not totally sure
if I'm getting that right impression there, but yeah, so
this like whole situation with a labyrinth got me so
parent guys, I can't tell you. I was so relieved

(24:46):
in some ways when the rest of the crew took off.
I don't want them separated, you know. I really love
everybody together. I love getting to see them each like
push it to the limit and what they can do.
But they are at real risk here. They're suffering in
some cases, and I like, really, I was reassured a

(25:11):
great deal by the fact that Subject one even lets
some of them leave because low KEI I was not
really sure what Subject One's energy was gonna be in
terms of their presence. I know that it seems like
he does not want them there, But does he not

(25:32):
want them there in the way that you just kick
them out, or does he not want them there in
the way that you really fucking try to kill them?
And it seems like it's the first one. He gives
them all these opportunities to bounce if they are able to,
because he is sick of dealing with them, And that

(25:52):
really speaks to like the badassory of our people. It's
not that they couldn't have been worn down eventually, because
they could, but I keep forgetting that, like Subject one
has a limited amount of energy to work with as well,
So every time that he starts an attack against them,
he is using up some of that energy, and he

(26:13):
is going to wind up using it all up if
he keeps going against these people who are pretty fucking
good at what they do and able to, in Yarin's case,
take out like an entire fucking ballroom full of baddies.
And I just this, Like I said, it was really

(26:36):
reassuring to me, because I just keep feeling like they
are in enemy territory, an enemy territory that's being controlled
from the outside in such a way that it reminds
me of like the designers creating the game board for
the Hunger Games or something, and they are at such
a disadvantage because of that. But then the reminder that
he also has limited resources to a degree and doesn't

(27:00):
want to fucking be dealing with them. Actually, it's not
like he's some evil villain who's like, I want to
kill you and make it hart, you know. He's just
genuinely like, can you fucking not. I have a whole
other thing going on here, and that is something I
can cope with. All right, That's that's better. I would
prefer that. So this this little regroup, they wind up

(27:28):
finding this uh, series of pods essentially that used to
be dread God tanks, and I should mention like everybody's
cores got refilled and people are healed again, but they
have like completely run out of elixers, so if anything
were to happen to them from here, it will be real,

(27:50):
real bad. There's not going to be repair possible, at
least not in you know, the immediate future. They'd have
to like hope that they could get out and then
get healed. So then they find this, uh, this separate area.
So there each of the tanks has the remaining sort

(28:17):
of I don't know if it's like aura, if that
is what you call this here, because it's like got
the color of each of the dread Gods in them,
And even Yarin when she's near one of them, she's like,
it feels like I'm getting smeared in the face with mud.

(28:38):
I think it's the one for the bleeding Phoenix. One
had been stained red, one blue, gold, one a heavy yellow,
and one purple and white. So by stain does that
mean that it's aura? Is that right? So Linden is

(28:59):
looking around keeping things open so that he can perceive
some stuff, and Athan is like poking around, and he
like knocks at something and a tray slide's open, and
here is a binding. I didn't even realize until they're
called bindings later that this is what it is. I

(29:23):
don't know why I didn't like put that together, because
we've been told what bindings look like a few times,
but it just truly I was kind of like, what's
the deal with this? And it's pretty much out of aura,
like it's giving off a little bit, but it was
such a strong, like deeply infused treasure that it gave

(29:47):
off its own aura and didn't need replenishment, and that
is why it was used for this. And he decides
that he's going to collect these and use them for forging,
which good idea. So they wind up managing to get
them from all of these different places. Dross is like,

(30:07):
oh nice, I'll definitely accept these as tribute things, guys,
and I cannot. I can't, guys, I hate this draws like.
I like him because he is funny at times, but
I don't like him. I just like at least bass Dross,
which I'll call him like Beta Drass, because it felt

(30:28):
like he wasn't really I feel like he felt at
least non threatening and like he was trying his best.
He was aware of what Linden wanted and was attempting it.
He was misguided, but he was doing his best. And
this Draws is like a fucking maniac man. He is
just dangerous to me inside Lindon's head. I just like,

(30:49):
especially don't like it. And I have mentioned before that
Dross in the past has been kind of a shit
to Linden a few times, like just kind of discovering
and he'll take it back when push comes to shove
and be like, I know, I give you a hard time,
but honestly, you're kind of badass and I appreciate you.
But it's infrequent. Most of the time he's in his

(31:10):
head being like, yeah, you think he can do no.
And it feels like this Draws is just taking all
of those worst aspects of the other Dross and except
like he's exaggerating them and he's more serious about it,
you know. So Anyway, Ethan handed the device to him,

(31:32):
and Lynden opened the portal to the Soul Forge right
in front of the tanks. And this is really interesting.
So first he has to make a hammer and I
don't know how many of you all were completely on
the same page here as what was going on. It

(31:56):
really took me by surprise when it turns out the
hammer isn't the weapon. I know, I know, I know
I should have realized, but I was like, not exactly following.
It's not spelled out totally explicitly, like that it's going
to be a hammer to use. It's just said that.

(32:18):
Like I think Ethan and Osrael both they emphasized the
use of a hammer, and I didn't think about the
fact that they're talking about like in forging. I thought
that he meant in combat, which I thought was sort
of weird, but because I was like, it's not like
Athan used as a hammer, and I don't remember Osriel
having used a hammer in combat either, but like maybe

(32:41):
they're I don't know. And then it fucking becomes clear
that this is meant to be a forging hammer, and
I felt like such a dumb dumb So he infuses
each side of this hammer head with different madra and
one of them is the blue light that is meant

(33:03):
to create things that are probably like sort of more purifying,
and then there's the black flame one which is meant
to add destruction and you know, a deadly edge to weapons,
and I really like this idea of him having a

(33:24):
hammer that can do both is so compelling to me
because of just generally even like sized Linden up from
day one, and I have to assume saw immediately the
advantage of having twin cores right. And it feels like
so much of this is going according to Athan's like

(33:48):
desires in terms of a plan that he had in
place already, and we know later on he talks about
how lonely it was in some ways to be as
gifted as he was, because every time that he advanced
or did something amazing, friends were left behind. There's no
way to bring people with you when you begin to
grow in that particular way. You can, like try to

(34:11):
spread around the advantages you're given if you can, but
that's not the same thing as them being able to
keep up with you. And so I'm sure that a
major part of his motivation was simply I would like
people that I think are good and motivated and gifted
to and I mean good, like in terms of in

(34:32):
their heart good. You know, he wouldn't hazard this on
people who seemed like they were not going to do
the right thing. When it came down to it. But
I think he's motivated by, you know, knowing what his
ancestor was like saying to Linden here he was not
a kind man. And it really feels like he knows
that the guy isn't kind before they come down here

(34:54):
and come across a bunch of like records and stuff.
So I'm wondering if he saw Lindon and saw the
potential for somebody who could have similar abilities with his
connection with the void and cleansing and being able to, like,
you know, do a similar thing as a reaper would

(35:15):
be able to, but also have an alternative that is
compatible in a way but different enough that he doesn't
get completely consumed by this one technique. You know, I
don't know. I just I'm very curious. We still don't
know what's going on with Athan's like mind here, and

(35:38):
I am just dying, guys, I want to know more
about him. I just like want an Ethen book, to
be honest, I want a book you know it will
be fun. Sephanie Meyer did this with Twilight, and honestly
it sucked, but I like the concept going back and
writing Cradle again, all from Athen's perspective tell me that

(36:02):
that would not be a good read, Like, I mean,
come on, you could honestly like just do Cradle from
several different perspectives. And not that we get people's other
perspectives in this book, but you know what I'm talking about,
before we ever get into their heads or situations that
we don't get to see that we only hear about,
or you know whatever. Also, I just like to hear

(36:23):
the reactions to shit. So he manages to pull this
hammer into reality and he is just like, all right,
this is uh pretty rad. That felt strange, and everybody's like,
all right, so what are you gonna name it? And

(36:44):
I love Linden's reaction here. Lindon could tell they were
heading into a situation in which everyone shouted out their
suggestions for a name. And I'm like, you know what,
this is ripe before everybody a blooper. I am really
hope that there is a naming things blooper at the
end of this. Fingers crossed. So he turns to Dross

(37:07):
and draws says world Breaker, Father of Weapons, Iron of
the nether World, Midnight Cursed, Genesis of the Destroyer. I
don't mind Genesis Lindon thought Dross spat at him. What
does it mean for Dross to spit at him? Is
that like just like a sneer or like a or

(37:30):
does he like spit? Can he make spit? What does
that mean? Anyway? I love this so much. When he
says Genesis, like everybody's sort of like, ugh, all right, fine,
I guess nobody seems excited by it. Mercy is like
it's not long enough, and now he has to go
and build the weapon and he has to like go

(37:52):
kind of fast with it. There's a couple things going on.
One Madra is like weaving around the trident by it,
so as soon as he sets it down, so it's
like starting to just build on its own. And Two,
Linden has like fuel that he isn't willing to destroy.
He stands there holding it and does this, like are

(38:14):
we sure? Ethan slapped his hand, knocking the twisted ring
into the soul forge. The circle of bone flew into
the flames. I loved that so much. Linden's stopping. Linden's
doing a little bit of what his sister was accused of,
which is trying too hard to stop and like investigate
every step instead of just taking the step. You know,

(38:37):
I'm I enjoy Athan's just kind of not even trying
to argue with him, just being like smack and getting
it fucking on the road. Thank you, Ethan, Appreciate you, bud.
So he begins to build his weapon, which winds up
being a spear, and I fucking love you bring destruction,

(39:00):
you bring ruin, you bring death. Dross cackled in his head.
See this is what I don't like. It's funny, though,
I'll give him that, It's just, you know, I don't know.
I feel like there's even a moment later, once this
spear is completed that he feels its voice in his

(39:25):
head urging him to destroy and is sort of like, man,
I wish I could put this in my void key
because this shit is loud as fuck, And I'm like, yeah,
I don't love that in combination with Dross. I don't
know what kind of influence these things can have, but
like frankly, I don't want to find out. I don't.
So he pulls this spear out and Athan says, I

(39:51):
don't know that you could quite call it a monarch weapon,
but a monarch wouldn't be ashamed to use it, and
he looking at this and very proud of it. It
is dope as hell, honestly, an entirely new weapon hung
in the air a spear. Its shaft was dark with

(40:12):
a green tint to it, and the steel of its
blade was a death green chrome. That's just cool. I
just like it. Spectral green sparks came off the weapon
here and there, as though it were still hot. Dope
just is cool. I like it. It pushed against the

(40:35):
spirits of everyone present, seemed to bend the air around it.
Even its spiritual might wasn't at all inferior to the
attack of the sword Ragon Shin had used to crack space.
Maybe one day it would evolve into a monarch weapon
if someone used it to accomplish great deeds, But at
the moment, he would pit it against almost any other

(40:56):
weapon he'd ever encountered. And he looks over at Mercies
like really good, bo Sue, And he's looking at it,
and he's like, mine's better, damn. And I love Mercy
isn't even like, I don't know if she senses what
he's doing in terms of sizing her weapon up against his,
but she is just all enthusiasm because If there is

(41:19):
one thing that Mercy is, it is supportive. Mercy is
the one that you want to, like, help you get
ready before you go on a date. Like she would
just hype you up so much that you would walk
out feeling like you were the hottest shit on planet Earth.
So yeah, I love her to death. And this little
bit with just being like it looks so awesome. Give
it a name? What is it? And Aithan says, Lindon

(41:41):
already had a turn. Who's next? And I'm like, it's
Lincoln's weapon. What do you mean had a turn? This
isn't a community weapon where everybody gets a say. He
should get to name his own weapon every time. Ethan,
I don't even know what you're talking about. Stop it.
I was very irritated. I don't know. Maybe Ethan just
didn't Genesis as much as he pretended to, but I

(42:03):
felt a way about it. After a moment of deliberation,
Linden was left with Midnight Cursed Spear of the Destroyer.
You guys, I just don't like it. I just don't

(42:25):
like it. It's fine, I don't have to like it,
but man, you know there are some I just I
wanted better. Genesis is. I really like it. It's so simple
and it feels like a little threatening, even though it's
actually not a weapon. You know, I don't know. I
liked it. But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, Kat says,

(42:48):
Mercy did help Lindon prepare for a day. Fuck, you're right, Cat,
I forgot about that. Oh my god, that's literally what happened.
Oh I forgot all about that. Thank you Cat. So
then as they are leaving everything, all of the entrances
and stuff begin to swirl around and everything. There's a shuffle,

(43:12):
and doorways opened up all around the room, but one
caught everyone's attention in the first moment. Instead of a
gaping cave mouth onto a hallway of stone, this one
was a small wooden door leading off the platform with
the dread God tanks. It simply hadn't been there before,
and instead of a symbol over it, there was a handprint.

(43:33):
It was thin and skeletal, sunk into the stone, and
it had stained the rock white. And Athan's like, obviously,
this is where we're going. So they go in and
there is first of all, his binding is like dust.
But Linden just is unfazed by this and takes all

(43:54):
the dust like he's just really very careful about that,
as he would be because he is a fucking hoarder.
And then we have the reflections on the concept of
nothingness everywhere. What was not? What was hunger if not
a desire to devour, a will to allow the stranger
in and kill me, borrow my powers, start the chain

(44:17):
of events that would finally end it all. Yo, I
forgot that he literally says, allow him to kill me.
I was like theorizing about the how it sounded earlier,
but that's literally what he says. So I don't know
what I'm Duhjosh, and I love dross being like, there
is a man with a plan. You should really learn

(44:37):
to be more like that. Oh my God. So then
he reaches out again. He waits in the darkness. He
had waited for time beyond counting, hungry for freedom, for power,
for everything. He only knew hunger and the connection to
the others of his kind that remained on the surface,

(44:57):
those who had followed him, the dread gods. Finally a
monarch had come to him. Finally, finally, one of those
who had cursed the world had come to end what
they had created. Word cursed the world. Had Ragon Shen

(45:19):
been part of like the creation of these guys or
does he just mean monarchs in general are like ain't shit,
because that sounds like what he's saying. Subject One welcomed
Ragon Shen with open arms. The monarch was close and
would be here soon. He would close off the labyrinth
from the pursuers so they could not interfere for the

(45:40):
slumbering wraith hungered for all things, even death. And Lyndon
realizes what's about to happen because he's like, I'm gonna
shut y'all out, yells out, but nobody can move in time.
The doorway closes and they are stuck in this like
fucking closet. So they stand there trying to figure out

(46:04):
about what like how long it could possibly take for
another doorway to open up, how long they can afford
to just chill and wait, and how soon should they
make a move and try, and you know, and then
we get this moment with Orthos, and I was just

(46:27):
so touched by this guys. Every time I know that
it's like fine, but every time Lynnen has to say
goodbye to Orthos in any way, I just start to
get really like it's just the last time that happened,
you guys. Remember I fucking cried. I literally cried when
Orthos went off to have his own revelation and they
split up. I was like devastated. So I know that

(46:47):
that's like not really the same situation here, but I
still because of the fact that there is such a
gulf between them in terms of advancement now, there's something
like sadder about it to me. I don't know, it's
just really uncomfortable to see the people that you used
to look up to now be people who can't keep
up with you. I just it's it's tough. So basically,
they're like, why don't we just burn a hole through

(47:09):
the floor, And Orthos is like, all right, fine, I'm
gonna lend you my power to do this, and then
I'm gonna bounce because I can't be any further help.
Like y'all know it. I know it. At least let
me be useful real quick before I take off, and
at least get y'all out of here. And it kills
me for a second because Lyndon agrees to do this.

(47:30):
They use the black flame on the floor and they
dig like a three foot hole and then they they
haven't gotten through and Orthos has run out of power,
and I was so sad. I really thought like this
had just not worked. And then Lyndon just says almost,

(47:53):
and he's uh, just or no, he says, just a
little more. Sure enough, the next room was only a
few more inches down. Oh thank god. If Orthos had
done all of that and they didn't even get through,
I was gonna be really pissed off. But thankfully they
have gotten through, and Orthos lands on this transfer circle,

(48:13):
which I hadn't mentioned. Actually, but the transfer circle. Drows
is fucking cackling about that too, because he's like, oh, yeah,
that's here, so that every time they failed to make
a dread god, they could just send a psychotic, half
made dread god out of the lab and get rid
of it. And I was just like, fuck sake these people.
Oh so he takes off with Little Blue, who basically

(48:44):
is like, all right, I also am not going to
be any further help. I got to face facts as well.
I need to go with him, and Linden feels very
reassured by that because they can sort of help one another.
So this is a first of the crew that departs
and I gotta be honest, y'all. I just really didn't

(49:06):
like it, and I appreciated how much Linden was, Like
I had made this whole fucking speech about how I
wasn't going to do this, and then I'm doing it.
I can't believe this, Like it's I just said this,
like what an hour ago, Like I can't believe that
I have to go back on my word right away.
And I really kind of liked it, to be honest,
because there is just such a thing in fiction where

(49:30):
a character will just decide something and will it to
be true despite what reality is doing, and somehow they
come out the other side victorious and they have managed
to will it into true. And that isn't how it
fucking works. You can set your mind to something and
be incredibly determined and committed and it still doesn't work out.

(49:53):
It just that's life, and it can be so invalidating.
I think to I constantly have fiction telling you if
you just wanted it bad enough, if you just committed enough,
you'd be able to do it. I don't like that message.
I feel like it makes people feel like bigger failures,
that it's their fault in a way. If something doesn't work,

(50:16):
and sometimes it might be, but not always. You can
do everything right and you don't get what you want,
you know, So I just kind of like that, Yeah,
Lindon makes this like declarative fucking speech that gets everybody
psyched up, and he's really emotional about it, and then
right away has to be like, never mind, that's how

(50:37):
it fucking goes man. You know, I don't know. I
just really appreciated this. This is something I'm facing with,
like covering One Piece, which will be actually the next
spoil me up. So if any of you are One
Piece fans, you can join me for that. But it's
something that I have trouble with. In One Piece, every
time a character just decides that they want something bad enough,
they manage to make it happen. And it's like, I

(50:58):
get the reasoning behind me wanting to sell that message
to kids so that they keep believing in themselves and trying.
But there's just also a sense of like never give up,
and no, sometimes you should give up. Sometimes what you're
trying to do won't work or isn't working for you.
And to just say never give up as like a
blanket statement. I think that's like damaging. I don't think

(51:19):
that's a good thing. Figure out what works for you,
and failure will tell you when you're like not heading
in the right direction, and you can redirect without failure,
You're not ever going to be sure you're going the
right way. You know you need it. So anyway, that's
my ran and I really really liked this moment, and
I just like I felt for him, you know, I

(51:41):
understand why he's so frustrated, but I just thought narratively,
it was much more interesting to have him have to
take it back a little bit. So this is when
he realizes, like, all right, I thought we were kind
of getting out of the trap, but since subject one
has not reacted with the kind of rage I would
expect if we broke out of a trap, we're still

(52:03):
fucking in the trap. And he is proven correct. We
get this monarch that steps out, and there's a couple
of them that they wind up facing. First, he uses
the key the hand to figure out which way they

(52:24):
have to go. All of these like fogs of venom, madra,
balls of fire, madra, more gules and shit come out,
and the gules are like intense. Lindon is realizing now
this is what it looks like. When subject one stops
fucking around, he is really trying to get it us,
and one of the gules touches him and like takes

(52:45):
a fucking good sized bite out of him. It's enough
to notice, and he is like really shaken by that,
and he manages to use the hollow domain here to
keep things back. And I have to say, the hollow
domain is like pretty rad honestly, how often he's able
to use it in the ways in which he's able

(53:06):
to use it. I really like it in terms of
a technique, but it's the kind of thing that while
it does protect everybody, you know, he'll eventually run out
of Madra, and it doesn't allow other people within it
to fight and use their techniques the way they normally would,
so it's kind of limited, you know. So they they

(53:28):
manage to like move into the next room, trigger a
bunch of new traps, and then the like exits vanish
and Mercy is like, I can't keep doing this, man,
I don't know what I'm gonna do. And they are
looking around and all of a sudden, this hand begins

(53:51):
to come through the stone and it is this dude
who is like short and like really wa shouldered, and
he is wearing these gauntlets and Ziel says, steal Dragon's Mountain.
Linda didn't know if that was a technique, a place,

(54:12):
an organization, or even a path. And this guy fights
against Yarin, and as they're fighting, Linden is like kind
of curious about the way that these echoes work, and
he starts to wonder, like two Draws, whether or not

(54:33):
this is something that he could ever learn to make himself, because,
like I guess, the theory here he's having is that
he absorbs, like you know, when his arm is functioning correctly,
he absorbs the power from other people. So perhaps if
he does that, he could create an echo out of
the energy that he has taken from them when they die,

(54:56):
which isn't like a bad I mean, I could see
how you would think that would work. Draws reacts with
complete derision. He is He says, you don't think you're
a real hunger artist, do you? Master north Strider can
copy the wills of those he devours into his techniques,
But your use of hunger is simple and crude. Even

(55:18):
if you had the skill, you are not on a
true hunger path. And all you can do is manipulate
your arms binding Ouch draws. There's no reason to put
it like this, And I bet Linden could do something.
He could figure something out, he could be supportive, be
more like mercy. All right, stop it. So Linden says

(55:41):
enough and manages to like kind of disable this this
Harald Echo enough that Yerin can defeat him, but it
takes a lot out of him to do it. He
gets dizzy over it. So they are looking around and

(56:01):
Linden's like, I have to use the hand to find
the next route forward, but I don't know if we
can do this like this. This is just taking so
much out of all of us. And this is when
Zeal says, all right, I'll do it, and then we
get to see Zeal unleash, and it is fucking red. Y'all. Look, okay,

(56:25):
So somebody posted some fan art about of Zeal and everybody,
but Zeal was the one that caught my attention in
the discord for Cradle No Spoilers, and I was startled
by the fact that Zeal is like drawn as sort
of like as young as everyone else and like slender

(56:46):
and kind of like pretty obviously everybody can interpret him
anyway they want. But I'm just gonna tell you, guys,
who I keep seeing. I can't remember the actor's name,
so somebody is gonna have to help me. Doctor Strange's friend,
who is the like short, stout, sort of Asian guy

(57:06):
with a bit of like the Danny Treyjo kind of
scarring on his face, who is like a badass but
also kind of done with everybody a lot of the time.
That is the guy that I keep picturing as Zeal,
but like aged down a little bit. He's younger, but like,
that's the picture that I've had of Zeal in my

(57:27):
head this entire time. And I don't know where I
got that. I really don't, but I'm into it and
I'm just gonna keep that forever. So Benedict Wong, everybody
is saying, thank you, everybody. I'm so bad with actor names.
I really need to like figure out a way to
work on that. But yeah, that is who I picture.
So every time that I saw a drawing of Zeal

(57:49):
where he looks like he just looks like he's like
maybe twenty, you know, and I'm like, I'm sure his
age has been mentioned, and that people are using the
actual canon as their inspiration. But at some point that
is who Zeal became for me, and that is who
he has stayed and that's it. So yeah, when he says,

(58:11):
all right, I'll do it here, it's just got a
really different vibe when it's somebody who's like older and
tired and just you know, and he goes out there
and he fucking owns this bitch and she is really cool. Actually,
this echo has like these script circles that come out
that are like sharp. You know. It's just a really

(58:33):
neat opponent, I thought. And Zeal is using scripts and
runs and forging them in mid air at a speed
that Linden is genuinely like, what the fuck? He has
never seen anything like this before. And he keeps with
all of the like movement that he's making in the
rooms that he's forging in the midst of the fight.

(58:53):
He's like getting stronger with it instead of losing his strength.
And Zeal's or Linden's watching and it's just like holy shit.
And he even thinks maybe he's got a like a
spirit a little bit like draws Dross thinks, not like me,

(59:14):
I'm one of a kind. If he had me, he
would rule the world, and I'm like, well, you said
not like me, but that you didn't say no, So
I have got my eye on that a little bit.
And I love that. At one point, Linden sort of
begins to cycle like he's gonna have to step in
and help, and Zeel looks at him like, what did
I fucking tell you and takes care of shit and

(59:37):
ends it and Linden didn't have to do anything, and
I just, oh, it's so great. I love Seal so much. Oh,
I love him so much, you guys, truly, he is
just so delightful. And he at one point when they
look at his like channels and everything, like his spirit
has taken a bit of a battering here, he looks

(59:57):
down at himself and says, that's a harassing Maybe I
should try harder. And I am really hoping that that
moment is a bit of a signal that he is
going to, like, you know, begin to pick it up
a little bit more because he has been so down
on himself. And I'm you know, Lindon is so talented

(01:00:20):
and so he's just a weirdo. Honestly, let's be honest
that for him to go, I am in fucking awe
of you, dude, What in the hell was that? I
feel like maybe that's what Zeal needed to be, Like, oh,
somebody who's a sage thinks that I just did an
incredible job. Maybe that actually means something, you know. So

(01:00:46):
at this point, an exit opens and Zeal says it's
probably a trap, and then he just leaves. He takes
it anyway. He winds up being like let out, way
further away from things which I really want. I know,
like what the deal is with that? But when it opens,
everybody else senses that there's a fucking like war going on,

(01:01:08):
and all of a sudden, Mercy is like, fuck, all right, guys, look,
I want to help. I appreciate y'all like bringing me along,
but I cannot stay down here and be at this
level and help you, and I especially can't focus when
something is going on up there that could potentially like cause,

(01:01:29):
you know, the end of the Black Flame Empire. God knows,
if something went really wrong, I would just never be
able to forgive myself if I was fucking around down
here knowing that I really wasn't gonna be able to
contribute that much more. While maybe some like totally altering
shit was going on up there, so I'm gonna have
to bounce, and she winds up leaving, but she gets
spit out, as we see later, in the same spot

(01:01:50):
as Orthos and Little Blue and Zeal doesn't. And even
later when when Yarin takes off, she gets spit out
in the same place as well as all of them.
Why what is that about? I feel like that's like
there's a reason behind that, but I don't know what
it could be. So I'm out of time. I'm going

(01:02:14):
to have to just take an extra couple of minutes,
just go over a little bit. But I just, you know,
I had to really talk about Zeal's fight. You guys know,
I had to. And then we have Linden, Yarren, Ethan
and Dross because he gets real mad when he isn't

(01:02:36):
counted heading further on, and it says evidently the Labyrinth
had lost patience with them because the walls blurred again.
Now there was only one entrance. And I love this
guy so much. Linden is thinking about like what should
we do? What should we do? And then he finally

(01:02:57):
is like, all right, let's fight. He can feels like
this pressure coming out out of that doorway, but he's like,
let's do it. He goes forward at fucking a sprint,
which means a lot more when it's Linden sprinting and
Yarin as well. Actually, he comes out and sees these
fucking maniac creatures that look like Crusher and immediately turns

(01:03:21):
around and it's like, all right, why don't we try
digging and starts to take off, and Yaren is like,
uh I, I'm gonna take care of this, and Linden
starts to be like, we can't win without you, like
she's sacrificing herself, and Yarin's like, sweetie, oh oh sweetheart,
and then she just goes ahead and does it anyway,

(01:03:43):
because these creatures all have blood in them, and so
she is able to fucking destroy them in like one shot.
It is, honestly just a tiny bit like orgasmin how
effective she is here. I swear to god, I love

(01:04:03):
Yarin so much. Oh my god, I love all these
characters so much. So she takes all these dudes out.
I love it. At one point, they're like ramping up
to come at her, and she literally thinks to herself,
oh please or no. She says it out loud and
After she takes them out, Lindon feels the presence again

(01:04:27):
and is like, all right, fuck it, here we go
and it lets out thousands of creatures in a new room,
and again she goes out there and absolutely stomps them.
They are cut into slippers. All this water poorn or
water blood pouring down making a roaring waterfall is the

(01:04:51):
way it's described. Linden could barely see her, and she
manages to just do like she uses a bunch of energy,
but she makes pretty quick work of this. And then
Yarin talks out loud to subject one keep sending me

(01:05:11):
to the grinder. Maybe when I run out of Madra,
you can make my arm sore. And it seems like
the creature is about to try her again, and she
just begins to cycle power and is like, all right, fine,
let's fucking do this then, and she's getting herself fucking
high epen ready, and then all of a sudden, the

(01:05:33):
labyrinth like gives in and is like all right, fine, fine, fine,
fine fine, And there's one way to leave, and there
is the way forward, and Yarin is like, all right,
I'm a bounce, figure this out, get your shit and leave.
Do not go up against that dickhead again, okay, and

(01:05:55):
don't you two split up either, and uh, as it
turns out they don't really get a say in that.
So this moment is when things sort of get interesting.
And I am so mad that I'm a little bit
out of time here. But you guys know, Athan begins

(01:06:15):
to talk about his experience of being lonely and then
tells Lindon the guy I've been trying to surpass is
not Raygan Shen. It's my own ancestor who is standing
here as an echo. Ozriel is the one. And Linden

(01:06:36):
is not really hearing him super well here because he
came down expecting to find the soul smith inheritance and
this shit has been completely looted, which I kind of
should have seen coming, I guess. And he is so
devastated by this. It's not just I wanted it and
it's not here. He really believes that's the only way

(01:06:57):
he's going to be able to fix Draws and now well,
as far as he's concerned, there's never going to be
a way to fix him. And I was just like, Linda,
you are giving up way too easily, sir. This is
not like you come on and Athan is like it,
says he looked almost fond. Don't give up yet, there
should still be a way. Rag On Shen, for instance,
always carries top notch looke, perfect for any soul smith.

(01:07:23):
And Linden's like, I mean, I have to learn to
use this stuff. Though by the time I do that,
I think it'll be too late to change anything, you know.
And Athan is just like, I don't think it's impossible.
There'll be hints. I'm always reluctant to tear off a

(01:07:45):
piece of my spirit, but once we get out of here,
you could consume from me and borrow my bloodline legacy.
I think you could do it, which is pretty interesting.
The idea of being able to do that. Hmmm, I'm
into it like that. So this is when they get

(01:08:10):
split up. Lindon is like, all right, well, we're gonna
face him together. I love that Osmanthis is like waving
when Athan says, shit, isn't the one I'm trying to surpass.
He is, Osmanthis is just like hey, from the background.
But he says, let's face him together, and Athan says, yes,

(01:08:31):
of course, if you think he'll allow that. Linden was
about to ask who Athan meant when osmanthis areally has
put a hand on the labyrinth wall and all of
a sudden there's authority over the labyrinth being activated. The
hallway blurs and he finds himself facing a dead end,
and we have a bit of a moment here with

(01:08:52):
Dross being like, despair, no matter what you do, you
end up alone, and Linden says, I'm not alone. I
have you, and Dross's laughter like fades away. How's that feel, Dross?
And there's so much hunger madra here. He can feel
it and it's actually activating his arm to the point
that he begins twitching and he can't control it, and

(01:09:17):
then comes face to face with the slumbering Wraith and
that's the end of his section. Real quick, I'm gonna
talk about Orthos and Little Blue, who gets surrounded by
I think it's blood Moon Hall. Is that who it
is that are around them? And these people try to
act like, oh, hey, we're here to protect you. This

(01:09:37):
is part of an alliance that we're in. But he
can sense finally at one point that this woman's using like, uh,
what do you call it? Illusion? Aura and dissipates it
and is just like she says something like so you're
with uh Lindon, right, and he's like, who, I don't

(01:09:59):
know know her and keeps playing dumb and keep saying like,
oh no, we weren't with anybody. We're just by ourselves,
as like Mercy pops out and then Yarin pops out,
and honestly, I really want to know what the fuck
because are they hoping to take Linden by surprise? Like okay,

(01:10:24):
so Kat says, an arch lord and two overlords I believe,
I mean maybe maybe they could. I don't know. I
have my doaths. I'm just saying. But yeah, so that
is how that chapter ends. And I'm way over time,
so I have to stop, but I really need I
needed to do it. So yeah, guys, keep an eye

(01:10:44):
on this crowdcast. I will add the extra like what
do you call it? Session of coverage and you will
be able to see it in the schedule here. Also,
I will post on social media, so if you follow
me on Facebook and Twitter and all that, you will
see when I announced that as well or in the discord. Also,
and yeah, I'm really excited. I'm really excited. We're getting

(01:11:06):
into like the sort of what's it called the like
climactic arc here now in the end, so I'm very
very excited. It's gonna be hard to stop reading. I think.
All right, everybody, well, thank you again so much, thank
you for Andy, to Andy for commissioning this and for
also commissioning an additional ones that I can really get

(01:11:26):
in depth a little bit more. And I will be
seeing you guys again next Tuesday with a new episode
