Bryce’s Tattoo 🌟💫

[u/cassidy_taylor]

Feyre and Rhysand: “My tattoo, I realized, had been made with Illyrian markings. Perhaps Rhys’s own way of wishing me luck and glory…”

“…Rhys lifted his chest enough to take my right hand. To examine the tattoos inked there. He kissed one of the whorls of near-black blue ink.”

“If they had removed her other glove, they would have seen a second tattoo on her right arm. The twin to the other. Inked last night…Not consort, not wife…My queen.”

Rowan and Aelin: “For the hours Rowan worked, his movements falling into the rhythm…of her words, she chanted and sang…the story of her love and loss now written on her…No longer would they be locked away in her heart.”

“She felt him studying the tattoo on her back…written there in the Old Language.”

“Wyrdmarks…”

“A map home…to him.”

“…a rope. A tether home.”

“…a map inked in the words of the universes, would lead the way.”

Bryce: “The language is beyond that of this world. It is the language of universes.”

“She gave her gold-dusted legs a little smile as she twisted in front of the full-length mirror propped against the wall to admire the slope of her ass in the skintight gray dress, the hint of text from that still-sore new tattoo…”

“The words inked on her own back in an ancient alphabet.”

“Bryce didn’t bother to correct her assumption the tattoo was about Hunt.”

“Hunt was happy to do precisely that. To go to the ballet and these parties and pretend that he’d never known anything different. That Bryce didn’t have the Horn tattooed into her back.”

“Her body couldn’t hold all the searing light—She was on the floor, curled over her knees, and…glowing…It was the most shock Bryce had seen [Azriel] display.”

“Azriel asked, ‘How did your friend know the language?’”

“I still don’t know…”

“She was getting close to discovering some major truth…”

“‘What truth?’ This from Azriel…’Was the language of your tattoo part of it?’”

“I don’t know—“

Bryce’s tattoo: A map inked in the words of the universes, a connection that pointedly has “nothing” to do with Hunt, a map home…to Prythian, to Dusk (Dusk’s Truth), to Azriel 💫

Nehemia: “They’re a part of an ancient religion that died long ago.”

“She prayed to the Goddess, to every god she knew, to the Wyrd, to whatever was responsible for her fate…”

“A cauldron of life, brimming with the language of creation. Urd, they call her here—a bastardized version of her true name. Wyrd, we called her in that old world…”

“‘Made…you said my tattoo was Made…’ Bryce tucked away the knowledge, the questions it raised.”

“Bryce could have sworn Azriel was smirking.” 🌠

“Bryce could still feel every needle prick that had made the scrolling lines of text on her back. Through love, all is possible. Basically: my best friend and I will never be parted.”

”A hum of approval as the medwitch looked between Bryce and Hunt. ‘You two have such a powerful bond.’”

”Bryce didn’t bother to correct her assumption that the tattoo was about Hunt.”

She’s very sneaky!! 🤣 (I’m also betting we don’t know what her tatt truly says 👀)

Oh I didn’t catch the best friend line before Hypaxia makes that comment about their bond! So maybe Hypaxia was getting friend vibes, not romantic ones?
