Onyx Storm: Chapter 27
Mar. 15th, 2025 04:23 pmXaden, Violet, and Halden versus three panthers and all the king's men. What could go wrong.
They're trying not to kill any of the opposing guards, in the interest of salvaging diplomacy with Deverelli. Like many writers, Yarros seems to think being knocked unconscious and dying are mutually exclusive options. This is a ubiquitous misunderstanding in media, so I'm not going to hold it against her, but I will say it here: if you are hit in the head so hard you pass out, you can die from that. Sometimes it's a concussion and sometimes it's a fatal hemorrhage! Woo!
( ok medical PSA over. let's get to it )
