I wonder if you might remember, but when I created this site, I had this working theory that all marked ones have two signets. It was later disproven because Xaden has two signets simply because his dragon belonged to his grandfather. So we sort of put that theory to rest.
You remember that Liam wielded ice during the Battle of Atherbyne so again, it reiterated my theory, but then many fans told me it was an editing mistake. Hmm…again, I put my theory to rest and moved on.
We’re moving into major spoiler territory so please, make sure you only continue if you’ve read Onyx Storm
But then, in Onyx Storm, we learn that actually, some marked ones DO have two signets. Garrick, while not the compass we initially thought, he is our distance wiedeler. Pretty badass signet to be fair. We now finally understand why Rebecca Yarros told us he’d be with him on an island. Because she could go back at any time. One single step it’s all it takes haha.
We also learn from Xaden that the dragons came searching for them. They wanted them to succeed.
Naturally, the question is: does everyone has two signets? According to Bodhi, he doesn’t. Just like Xaden. HA! But then if you remember, in Iron Flame, Xaden made it clear to Violet that nobody knows about his second signet. Not a single human soul. Just Sgaeyl. Either that was a pun intended and Rebecca Yarros is telling us that Bodhi is a type of inntinnsic, or he legit doesn’t have a signet. My money’s on the first one.
What does this have to do with Imogen? She must have two signets too, right? At the beginning of Fourth Wing we thought that maybe her being really fast is her second signet. But that’s not the case. Let me walk you back to the story so you get the same aha moment. You’ll love, I promise.
In Chapter 7, Sawyer tells Violet: “Then you’re fucked, because I can’t think of a single rock or earth wielder in our history.”
That immediately made me underline the sentence because this is exactly that Jack said about precognition and yet Aaric is our precog. So WHO is our rock or earth wielder?
Let’s go to Imogen’s point of view and read about it:
“Get behind me!” […] We have seconds, so I flip the shield, then slam its flat top between the row of stones at our feet and drop behind it, keeping my hand on the leather strap.
[…] Heat surrounds us and the leather hardens in my grip as the shield turns to stone. Fire roars, blazes, flows around us. We are the rock in the river, demanding the water part.
He glances at the stone shield, then breaks into a run, and I follow, sprinting as fast as I can. “And we’re going to talk about whatever the fuck that just was later,”
Well hello there, rock wielder. Imogen is not just great at erasing memories. You know what doesn’t burn? Dragon scale and rock. Imogen might just about be an amazing badass with pink strands of her. And I think we love her more than ever.
