Cuz I hate to break it to you gurl but before peacin out in ch. 26 you gotta get this Truth Teller and Starsword into an Asteri!!!!!!!!! These heads are rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin (wut!) Bye Bye Vesperus! After a little ch 27 wrapup, we make our way into PART TWO: THE SEARCH! Hunt is itchin' to get back to his torture (har!) but he has to get some info outta a Jellicle Aidas. He's all like "MY LIGHTNING'S BEIN USED FOR WUT, NOW?!" Meanwhile in ch. 29, Bryce may have weapon-portaled her buns back to Midgard but she was not expecting *this* welcoming committee. Ugh, bad daddy Autumn King why you gotta ALWAYS be a bad daddy?!?!?!

oooOoooOoooOoohhhh sometimes I wake up grumpy and sometimes I LET HER SLEEP (in her sarcaophogus, that is)!!! In the case of Ch. 24, our tunnel friends didn't have much of a choice because when you stumble upon a hottie-bo-bottie in a sarcophagus, we say sarcophoYES TO ADVENTURE! Especially when that sleeping beauty is bout to drop some fire lore! We jump back to Ithan's POV to find out that he's A SAD BOI WOLF ALL OVER AGAIN and that the fire sprites are BURNIN DOWN THE (snake) HOUSE! In the sub-chamber, we find out from Vesperus that she was Theia's keeper and Theia had tricked her into her coffin. B wants out NOW. In chapter 25, Bryce gets the Starsword back from Azriel and starts to question Vesperus about the Asteri. She finds out a LOT of great info but what she really wants to know is HOW TO KILL THEM? Vesperus could answer that......for her freedom.

Please read up until Chapter 30 for next week!

"DID SOMEBODY ASK FOR A CHIN IN THE PINK AND A NOSE IN THE STINK??" --Hilde Ugh can someone tell this hag that nobody is looking for her holes in parts? SHE HAS CREATURES TO ENSLAVE! In chapter 22, speaking of how much they LOVE enslavin', Pollux is learning how to enslave Hunt's lightning while Lidia starts to set off the dominoes of her crazy TRIARII-NOT-TRIARII scheme. Back in the tunnel, Azriel and Nesta realize that the Horn LIVES INSIDE OF THIS BROAD THEY JUST MET and even though they ain't happy there's nothing they can do about it because BRYCE IS TUNNEL POWER AND TUNNEL POWER IS BRYCE. In chapter 23, Lidia's scheme involves Hilde freeing Queen Irithys from her power shackles but can a hag be controlled so easily?? Maybe grab er by the chin flap and see if she'll BEHAVE!

Please read up until Chapter 26 for next week!

TONIGHT THERE'S GONNA BE A WOLF FIGHT and it's alllllll for the love of the Viper! But that's not the ONLY thing we are dealing with in chapters 20 and 21! Our torture boiz are dealing with just about as much as they can HANDle. HA! EVERYONE LOVES A TORTURE JOKE! Back with our gang in Prythian, apparently once you tunnel the words finna funnel cuz Silene's hologram is LORE DROPPIN. We find out way more about the Daglan/Asteri and how the Drop is actually a FLOP and maybe we find out some SHADOW MOMMY FACTS?! We could barely keep UP with what Silene was spinnin; I guess there's a lot to say after being trapped in tunnel walls for centuries?

Please read up until Chapter 24 for next week!

OH WE GOT OURSELVES A TUNNEL DUMP and we are NOT talking about making on the floor of the tunnel (although where else would you do it??) We go through chs. 16 and 17 in this episode and we are JUMPIN n JIVIN from world-to-world! We are uncovering different parts of the mystery that uncover MORE parts of the mystery and it was allllllllll hidden down here in this tunnel (even though Azriel's wings are too girthy to fly them through it BOING BOING BOING.) Meanwhile in Midgard, Ithan is preparing himself- and his paddle ball....I mean sun ball....- to fight for Tharion's freedom from the Viper Queen?? MAYBE YOU SHOULDA THOUGHT THAT THROUGH, ITHAN!? Ithan, we love you you beautiful pup, but leave the 4D chess to the ladies. This just ain't your strong suit.

Dost thou eyes decieve ye?! Are we experiencing DOUBLE VISION in the tunnels?? Nope, just a couple of full grown women givin wyrm over here and you GOTTA get over to youtube.com/@lpnromantasy if you wanna see some WYRMS DOWN BY THE RIVER. And in chs. 14 and 15, they are swimmin like Free Willy over here but there ain't nothin free bout leavin in these tunnels. COST'S HIGH. That's why these wyrms gotta get out there on the streets showin a lil slime just to make the tunnels go squish. You don't understand what we wyrms out here have to deal with. We was just eatin some scab crumbs and then WHAM *we* gotta die? Ugh, it's hard down here for a wyrm. Especially when these long eared busty galz keep trying to interupt our sweet eternal peace with their 8DD chess! Oh yeah, and the torture party is still gettin it and there's no sweetness on the brain bridge RUHN'S OUR EMO SAD BOI NOW SORRY AZRIEL YOUR SPOT GOT TAKEN.

Ohhhhh I wonder who could have BARK BONES FOR BRAINS??? No way that it's Ithan!?!? No, you were right it's definitely Ithan. In ch. 13 we find ourselves right alongside Ole Woof-ful and he is spewing some nonsense at the Viper Queen bout savin his fin boy. ITHAN the Viper Queen is too hawt to have to deal with you! Or does she use that snake seductive power to convince him to fight for Tharion's freedom with his big wolf body? Our perspectives get ripped away and we are thrown into the brain space of poor Lidia. Thank the lawd Pollux is a horrible enough of a male that Lidia can blame her CYCLE to get out of an Asteri party. She has SUPER SECRET SPY stuff to do! Get outta here you DUMPSTER ANGEL.

Get them buns (and swords) of steel ready- it's a TUNNEL TALK LEARNING WALK!!! Much better than an Aaron Sorkin walk-n-talk IN MY PERSONAL OPINION but mostly because this one has NESTA'S SILVER FLAAAME ::guitar riff::. Woah-- who knew I'd be comin after the Sorkinator in this caption?? Anywayyyy, in this episode we go through ch. 12 and it seems that we got some worm lore and cave drawings to keep us going! We also realize in this episode that Chris Pratt is obviously an IRL Asteri and Nat-n-Jack would go to the GRAVE defending that position. Ugh, Nesta's tatt questions for Bryce get sad fast but HEY, THAT'S JUS' TUNNEL LIFE!

WE NEVER WANT THE WET TO TURN TO DRY unless it has nothing to do with a downstairs goosh and everything to do with being physically wet. In that case- PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME IN THE HELL THAT IS REMAINING PHYSICALLY WET.  In ch 10, we head over to the Viper Queen's lair but she ain't the only snake up in this piece. Does someone hear the SLITHERY SHREW alarm being sounded?! Or does the rest of the scooby gang find out that this big scary mean is actually a HERO DRAPED IN SNAKERY?! The Hind aka Agent Daybright shows up and she needs our help! It's the only way our torture boiz are going to survive! In ch 11, we climb back down into the tunnels to join Nesta and Bryce to look at some ~~interesting~~ wall carvings (man, humans have been enslaved by the Fae for likeeeeee a while!) Bryce's star power tells em they gotta get all wet but nobody told us how dry we will be by the end of this chapter when we make it back to our Tea Time for Torture. Awwww the boys have each other.....but do they have any HOPE to help them survive?
