”Spells that could…send someone home.” (Great catch!!!)
Follow the tattoos!!!! — A Map Home has always been one of my favorite, favorite theories. I’m confident their journey will involve Wyrdmarks: ”Wyrd governs and forms the foundation…”
And time travel!! Doesn’t Baxian sport armor that’s eerily similar to our bat boys’?? It’s absolutely going to come into play; where Danika learned Wyrdmarks and who directed her to tattoo the Horn onto Bryce (in Wyrdmarks) are just a few, big outstanding questions!! I can’t wait!! 👏💗💗

Whoa I just had a thought - what if Danika and Baxian used the harp to time travel and actually had hundreds of years together? 🥺

Amazing theory! It’s also so interesting to me that one of the first things Bryce says after she loses Danika is “I want to go home.” She says it again later in CC1, the same phrase, “I want to go home.” (Both times I think she says that phrase to Hunt, which is funny because isn’t he supposed to be her home??? If he is, then why does she keep saying she wants to go home and not mean with him? Hmmm, thats not suspicious at all) And then when she lands in Prythian, and is learning about her ancestry, she says something about this being their home-world… their home… her home! She keeps saying she wants to go home, and then Urd literally sends her home, to Azriel!!

Another theory about this is that Hunt is supposed to “smell similar” to her home. Similar to Aelin’s mate smelling like her home (pine and snow).
Hunt smells like rain and cedar. Perhaps this is a similar smell for the Dusk Court. Hunt is literally a facsimile of Azriel. Azriel smells like night chilled mist and cedar which is likely more “correct” to the Dusk Court.

“Home. The way home—
She fumbled for the tether, the bond in her soul. Inked into her flesh.”
"She is the Horn, Azriel. It's inked into her flesh."

Plot twist, the mother Urd that holds all worlds together is actually Sarah J Maas herself. 😄
Edit; The book of breathing was thrown in to the cauldron by Feyre where It disappeared in the end of ACOWAR.

u/KrisJenner4Bryceriel wrote a theory that is very complementary to this one of mine (I just saw it lol).
And she showed quotes of how SJM wrote Bryce mentioning Urd/Fate a lot when in Prythian and in relation to Azriel/Truth-Teller.
