Episode 81: “Eve of the Red Moon”

Last we left off, Bell’s Hells, after volunteering to be the recon mission to Ruidus while the rest of Exandria prepared for a possible incursion or an assault upon the red moon, had some inner turmoil. In doing so, had to regather themselves, rebuild some trust. Fearne, who particularly had been emotionally wounded in this endeavor, wanted to revisit her Nana Morri. The group went to the Fey Realm, back to Ligament Manor, where some reunions with your (Fearne) parents also came with some revelations about your true nature.
A number of “group building” exercises were developed via Nana Morri and FCG, in which you all proved yourselves to be on the path to recovery. Some work has been done with some work still left before you. Feeling a little more confident about your troop, you’ve returned and decided, well, you decided, Fearne, to take the Spark of Rau’shan into yourself and, through the ritual’s completion, you embraced the fiery shred of the ancient primordial fire titan, and, upon making contact with Ashton, awoke the shard within him. Two of you now coming into full realization of the power and the spiritual essence that you both carry and have bonded to. You rushed out of the garden at the top of Ligament Manor while the rest of your group were left to ruminate on what they just witnessed. That’s where we come back in, as you watch the Fiery Spirit Fearne and the…
No. Not going to say swollen, um…
But as you stand in the middle of this garden, the nearby protective field having dropped, and Allura kind of taking in what she had witnessed as Nana Morri grins off in her awkward way towards the prideful vanishing flame of her granddaughter.

Previous Episode “A Test of Trust”

This is the last episode we will have the team at CritRoleStats. They are a resource for far more than just songs, and have been so helpful to any fan who missed something and wanted to know. They have my gratitude and will be missed when the season continues in January.
