About Nephis and the Shadow bond

[u/Ok_Professional_1769]

Remember when the sin of solace says: There is nothing more pathetic than a slave who begins to trust his slaver.

In my opinion their love is unequal and it always has been. Even if Nephis would not abuse the bond, and given her stance on the nightmare spell that is highly doubtful, who is to say what her stance will be once she advances again.

She is still obsessed megalomaniac who will sacrifice everyone and everything to achieve her goals and rarely listens to other people takes on situation. She just do what she wants and somehow it works out. Keep in mind that she has lost a piece of her humanity every time she advanced and there are two stages left.

Even in her name, changing star, she is ment to change and not all changes are for the better.

I just hope when she and Sunny will travel to the Tomb of Ariel or smth like that her character will develop a tad bit more

This is what I want to see. If sunny gets he's fate back (it's most 100% that he will) and everyone remembers him, I want everyone in the cohort to have a huge crush out, at Cassie, especially neph, maybe with this Cassie will finely stop keeping things to herself, because it has reached the breaking point a long time ago. And she better Apologize properly this time.

I wonder,how the fuck does everything work out for Nephis,her existence is like a Turkish Knock off brand [Fated] always ends up in insane predicaments,always manages to somehow get out of it and even benefit more so than sunny would.

[u/Aberon_I → u/LostFromMayonnaise]

That's cuz from the inverse view, Neph is the actual main character of this story

[u/OkSilver2488]

There was a reason why he was called lost from light when he had his fate, so we knew getting his fate back would end things with Nephis

[u/Mission-Debt-2357]

Not really man. Nephis herself loves sunny, if he says he doesn’t wanna continue to ranking up with her shes not going to have any issues with it as long as he doesn’t get in her way. She was perfectly okay with dating master sunless who wasnt a fighter at all

[u/HisokaProx]

How funny would it be if in the end all she needed to do was renounce the shadowbond for Sunny to be "free".

Am I the only one that can understand Nephis point of view , Sunny pov is basically saying I’ll just sit here wand watch the world devour itself and know that mankind will go extinct, even if it is in the future , Nephis is basically saying instead of mankind going extinct im going to try and save as many lives as possible and stop it , tbh Nephis isn’t really even sacrificing mankind like that just herself , regardless millions will die . Also people who think Nephis could use shadowbond and force Sunny into doing things like battling the forgotten god or challenging nightmares have to be slow there is no possibility of that realistically happening, just for the pure fact Sunny would rather die , and shadowbond are immediate commands not long term so Sunny could kill him self or even kill Nephis if he really wanted to , so it doesn’t make any sense why people thing she’ll force Sunny to do something. After all she’s never put Sunny’s life in danger with the bond in the first place

[u/Ok_Professional_1769 → u/Plus_Parsnip_2215]

I understand your point of view . I'm just wondering how things will evolve when they become sacred, because spirits are no longer human. Even if the Nephis we know wouldn't abuse the shadow bond, what about when she becomes sacred? It's not impossible that she won't do it, even if the chances are slim.

[u/Plus_Parsnip_2215 → u/Ok_Professional_1769]

Your not wrong I just think it’s out of her character it’s pretty much how sunny isn’t the same person he was during his first nightmare or the forgotten shore , he went from being selfish to more people centered , and I believe the same for Nephis . But I think we will get a better grasp of everyone after Sunny gets his fate back I think than we will have the biggest character development amongst everyone in the cohort especially Nephis , And Cassie

Did you miss her conversation at the spire? And when when she woke up? And when rescuing tamar?

She is not sacrificing inocents again

[u/WayNo2898 → u/chabri2000]

Doesn't stop he from risking their lives for her goals .

The fight with the sovereigns is enough evidence for you .

Hell her stance on the spell and dream is even more so .

[u/chabri2000 → u/WayNo2898]

The other option was to let the sovereigns get the whole armies of humanity killed, letting them defenseless. Then one sovereign winning, becoming unstoppable for nephis, yet still useless to defend humanity. Billons would die. Mass extinction when dream god wakes up.

She had no choice but to fight them at that point

Regarding the spell, she was clear that Dream god has to die first. Then the spell is obsolete and unnecessary. Sunny plan of hiding his face under the sand is not realistic. Weaver put gods training features in the spell for a reason. You think the guy who could see fate didn't know that the spell was not a permanent solution?

[u/FellaPlayz]

i agree, except for the part that she changed.

She has had near zero changes after TFS.

[u/HeroOfLightPKN]

I think she’s going to be mad he manipulated her into a relationship after she lost her memory of him more than anything else.
