Aaravos's worm has continually grown bigger ever since they left Lux Aurea. I wonder if the worm has parasitic properties. I find it hard to believe that that could be a child of Aaravos, so I would bet more on it being a tangible vessel of some kind.
They really straight up portrayed patricide on screen in a children's show, huh? Damn. Sure, it was an illusion, but it Soren can't be okay with the knowledge that he really has the capability for patricide inside him. On top of that, Claudia is okay with manipulating Soren like this? What does she get out of it? All I can see is that she really has fallen down the rabbit hole, and she's looking to convince herself of something she's been conditioned to already believe: "don't trust your brother." Man, that's heavy.
Claudia's eyes were black when Viren woke up, meaning she just performed a spell, presumably the one to bring Viren back to life. She mentioned the Aaravos-worm crawled into a cocoon 2 days ago. How long have they been there? What was she, and more importantly the other people who's lives she sacrificed, doing this whole time? Maybe she used wounded soldiers who couldn't escape. This is probably one of those things you're just supposed to breeze over though, so whatever.
