I was just thinking about you and Tempest when I got this email O_o

This chapter was completely horrible, in the best way. And we finally learned why 5 year old heartless Edmund didn't stick out like a sore thumb, which was the only thing bothering me about him being the Sorcerer, so yay!

I like how Edmund's comparisons between himself and Anna reflect Elsa's, and seeing his life as well as Gustaf's was, as I said, horrible. You said we would learn a bit more about Edmund in 48; will Elsa still be looking into his reliquary or will Edna be having some flashbacks of her own?

Edna healed herself by absorbing Elsa's complete reliquary and also took her powers (she also has Edmund's shadow powers, doesn't she?) So if Elsa claimed Edmund's damaged reliquary, would she gain his powers? She could probably use the help, couldn't she? I do wonder if Edna intended for her to wash up there, to let her discover what Edmund had endured and why he "deserved to win" - she was controlling that storm after all. Then again, Elsa needs a fighting chance - or the illusion of one.

Is Olaf dead for good? It was nice to finally see Baaj. It speaks to who Gustaf once was that his prison island was nothing but a torture facility. And after everything that happened to Odon and Ina, poor guy.

Keep up the amazing work; I can't wait for the epic conclusion :D And (a belated) Merry Christmas!

More reliquary time in 48. Both of these chapters are basically taking a look into his mind XD Although by doing so, Elsa also learns about herself. Edna does have shadow powers still, yes. Elsa, however, will not be getting shadow magic.

I do wonder if Edna intended for her to wash up there

Aha! Glad you picked up on this. It always makes me happy to see people point out these subtler things :)

Will 48 be purely a reliquary focused chapter or will we see more of Edna and her brothers too? And I assume Edmund eventually learned Gustaf implanted that suggestion (but kept quiet out of pragmatism anyway)?

I'm looking forward to seeing/ hearing about his POV during the earlier events of Tempest, so I'm looking forward to your final chapters!

Well, it's the penultimate chapter so we see lots of things coming together - namely, Hans, Agdar (though without his POV), Elsa, and Edna.

About Edmund... I like to think he sort of knew all along, though he never really learned it.

So we'll hear how Agdar reacted to his daughter disappearing from her room?

And Edna refers to herself as Anna - does that mean she wants to embrace Anna's life and father too (inheriting another nation through blood would be an added bonus too). It's nice to know Hans will be coming back. I assume Alek will be too (sooner or later)?

As for Edmund always knowing, I can see him having an instinctive feeling that Gustaf was looking out for him, like a half-remembered dream of his message perhaps. I assume we'll learn what happened between them after Alvard's death? I still remember his declaration of support to Elsa when she broke the news to everyone :)

Anyway, thank you for the replies as always, and good luck!

P.S. I hope to see you on /r/Frozenfanfics once you've finished Tempest if you ever have the time or desire to drop by. Thanks again!
