After this remark from Bodhi in Onyx Storm, I’m satisfied that this concept concerning his second signet is true, particularly contemplating the whole thing of his story on this installment. Onyx Storm confirmed many theories and left us with much more questions than earlier than, permitting audiences who love Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean Collection to take a position because the look ahead to guide 4 persists. Nevertheless, whereas some take a look at greater potentialities within the sequence, comparable to predicting The Empyrean Collection’ subsequent character dying, others take a look at what we have now discovered concerning the minor characters like Bodhi to reply some questions.

Bodhi’s position in Onyx Storm was sadly minimal regardless of his earlier significance in Iron Flame, usually not included in main plot beats and teams just like the Quest Squad. Nevertheless, that small arc made his each second all of the extra essential to his relationships with others, main a number of audiences to theorize that he could possibly be filling an essential position from Onyx Storm‘s ending. One line from earlier than that second helps level to this in my thoughts whereas additionally including extra questions concerning Bodhi and his doable second signet.

Bodhi Says He Does not Have A Second Signet – However What Does He Actually Imply?

Bodhi’s Obscure Reply Is By no means Clarified In Onyx Storm

Bodhi claims to Violet in Onyx Storm that he doesn’t have a second signet, however does so in a means that really leaves the reply extra obscure than earlier than. Violet asks Bodhi about if he has a second signet throughout Signet Sparring in the midst of the guide, lengthy after Onyx Storm confirmed the favored concept that almost all marked ones have second signets. Bodhi tells Violet that he doesn’t, however follows up by saying “similar to Xaden” and says so with a “wry smile”, muddling his in any other case direct reply.

Because of this, many have speculated on Bodhi’s that means on this scene. One risk is that Bodhi doesn’t know Xaden is an inntinnsic, which might make sense as inntinnsic signets are a dying sentence in The Empyrean Collection. One other risk, although, is that Bodhi can also be an inntinnsic and his remark in Onyx Storm was a means of relaying that to Violet subtly, as they have been in public. Whereas I can see the logic of the latter concept, I personally suppose Bodhi doesn’t, the truth is, have one, particularly contemplating how his arc progressed after that scene.

Principle: Bodhi Actually Does not Have A Second Signet

Bodhi, Like Quinn, Seemingly Bonded The Dragon Of An Oblique Ancestor

The speculation that Bodhi doesn’t have a second signet makes lots of sense to me due to Quinn’s story and the emotions of inferiority he confronted in Onyx Storm. Xaden defined that lots of the dragons the marked ones journey sought them out at Threshing, the second signets occurring attributable to a number of of them bonding the dragon of a direct ancestor. Nevertheless, some, like Quinn, seemingly bonded the dragon of an oblique ancestor, leading to unusually highly effective signets however no second one for them. Bodhi may have an identical state of affairs to Quinn, including to his present arc.
