She wins the fight in the end, but I can't help thinking that the fact she spends half the match fighting against her own weapon is going to make her look weak.
Meanwhile, the two sages are each coming to their own conclusions regarding the shadow, and when her match is over the Winter Sage thinks she should starve it, while Charity thinks they should hone it and use it. I hope that's what they do.

I'm so sad for her. I know that she is under a ton of pressure and that so much was riding on this for her family and for her mother, and I'm genuinely not sure what happens now. I am starting to think the tournament isn't going to be completed the way it's intended to be, but what would have to happen to throw things off-course?

Also there's something amazing happening with Lindon being in command of the Akura team. We're watching Lindon blossom as a leader and gain a certain measure of confidence that he hasn't had until now. I'm so excited!

It looks like there's going to be some other very formidable foes on the field, and one of them is Seishen Kiro, AKA The Reluctant Mountain as I'm going to call him from now on.
I like this guy, and I don't want him going up against my Lindon. I want everyone to get along! Is that too much to ask?

We get to see the vroshir for the first time and they are taken care of relatively easily by Suriel, but I swear to god they're just able to like...start off a volcanic eruption? Really? Damn.
Meanwhile, Lindon is realizing that he's sick and tired of being pushed around, and that since he's not a fucking Copper anymore he doesn't have to take it. So he decides to fuck up the Skysworn's day, and they deserve every bit of it.

So when I say that this episode is "kinda 13" what I mean is that I read 13 for this episode made references to it, ran out of time, and will wind up talking about it as a whole in the next episode. *smiles awkwardly* MY BAD.

In this section, Yerin is struggling with the fact that Red Moon Hall are going to be attacking, fueled by the very same monstrous energy that killed her family. Meanwhile, Lindon is trying to decide if he should go with her even though he is SURE he's not ready. Basically, everyone has choices to make and there's a bit of a struggle there.

It totally makes sense that he would be so committed because of the threat his village is facing, but wow...when YERIN thinks you're working too hard maybe it's time to rethink your life.
However, it turns out that he can work harder than most people because of his bonkers Iron body, and it seems that there are some other secrets that are yet to be revealed!
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!]]>4025truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/blackflame-chapters-1-3--40899804I'm so SO excited to get into the next book in the Cradle series, and I'm stoked to find out exactly what the deal is with the path of Blackflame. Turns out that the family basically self-destructed after growing into a huge power, and the Naru clan are actually the ones in power now. There ARE evidently some Blackflames remaining, but we're not allowed to know who that is!
I really love the moment when Jai Long gets total and unconditional support from the Sandvipers, because it's something that he's never experienced and he was absolutely expecting to be held responsible for Kral's death. I love it and I found it so moving and I'm so annoyed at the way I'm on his side despite the fact that he's coming after Lindon.

Granted, Kral was taken off his guard, but that was only because he deeply underestimated Lindon and thought he was much easier to kill than he turned out to be.
What saves Lindon's ass is that it turns out Eithan is a goddamn Aurelius, and I still don't entirely know what that means but evidently they're kind of a big deal. Not only is he from that family he's a fucking Underlord, and he's nothing to fuck with. Eithan takes custody of Lindon and Yerin, and tells Jai Long that Lindon will fight him in a duel in a year.
I can hardly wait.

It's about time, baby! Although to be honest it's been no time at all and he's really ahead of schedule and I probably can't expect for him to continue at this pace.
However, despite it happening quickly, it sure as fuck wasn't easy. He very nearly dies, and is willing to put himself through even further hell during the process of gaining his iron body...which, by the way, is way more hardcore than the traditional Sandviper method. It's almost cute how they do it in comparison.

It takes no time at all for Jai Long to sense him, and it turns out that they can sense his spirit and have set up a kind of security system to watch for him.
Lindon gets put to work, and it doesn't go great for him because he's a Copper and can't keep up with the workload. And someone else has followed him inside, who seems deeply interested in Lindon's situation and is determined to get involved.

He's just such a weirdo and seems to delight in the crises of the average person, but not in a way that suggest that he doesn't care. It's more like he's watching a movie and can't wait to see what happens next.
Then there's Jai Long, who is not nearly so whimsical, but who is still fascinating in his way. He's been rejected by his family after performing a feat of heroism that resulted in his disfigurement, and he has a serious axe to grind. I'm all about him getting his revenge because honestly I kind of hate his family too.
