Okay, so we last saw Syr’Nj treating the fatally poisoned Kur’Ik and refusing to choose between her life, Kur’Ik’s, and the other Peacemakers’. Looks like she, much like the TV series Game of Thrones, has decided to solve some seemingly intractable problems with fast travel. (We’ll somewhat hand-wave how she managed to get the younger sky elves’ attention so quickly, but I’m going to assume she worked out some signal they’d be scrying for after the end of Chapter 37.)

Love the ‘tude the three elves are putting out here. This is serious business, no one’s treating it like a day at the beach…but they, and especially Clair, do not lack confidence in their ability to win this battle. If their appearance had not broken the Cultists’ concentration and disrupted the “big ol’ thing” they were combining their magicks into, the Cultists might’ve had a one in ten chance of victory. As it is, well…

Really, John deserves to give this whole sequence a chef’s kiss.
