Morning Star - 5

Wherein we finally see Yahweh in various forms and a good old fashioned Lucifer v/s Fenris fight. Yahweh is waiting for the two people one to speak on the side of Destroying his creation and one for preserving it. We see Elaine in the form she had when she first appeared.
Oh and Lucifer v/s Fenris. He is Lucifer he does not lose. It is ironic to hear Lucifer telling Fenris that fenris isn’t capable of learning new tricks, because Lucifer has remained Lucifer throughout the series. And noema seals her fate by stabbing Lucifer.
Elaines refusal to speak in favour is a neat twist as is her reply of Ill fight you.
And I did guess right , the sword at the ends refers to the cutting of the Gordian knot

Fireside Tales

When we last saw martin, thole’s son he left us with the lines ‘The grief I keep within me, atleast until I can weave it into something else. And we now see in this story that he does.
This is a story about stories. The centaurs are having a story telling competition and Martin is participating. Where he meets Elaine again. The first story deals with lies and their cost. The second with truth and its cost. And the third is Martins., the third is about lies , truth and love woven by Martin.
We do not get to see who wins the competition but we do see a side of Elaine that we haven’t before.
The art is nowhere as good as peter gross’ but the writing. “It too is a lie. All stories are lies. But good stories are lies made of light and fire.” And Lucifer certainly qualifies for that
