When magic failed, the world fell into chaos. For centuries, humans had relied on the power of magic to shape their reality and bring their desires to life. It was woven into the fabric of their existence, binding them to the mystical forces that governed their world. But one day, without warning or explanation, magic ceased to exist. The once vibrant and extraordinary spells that illuminated the darkest corners of the earth vanished into thin air. The enchantments that kept the world in balance crumbled into dust.

I think this quote implies two things: Pride and Mercy know who their father was (otherwise they'd be asking pointed questions), and the phrasing "would be proud" implies that he's no longer around. And, of course, he's clearly not in the picture.

The first point is that while Malice and Fury both have the best interests of the Akura in mind, they don t like each other a whole lot and had a falling out at some point.

The enchantments that kept the world in balance crumbled into dust. At first, people were in denial. They clung to the hope that magic would return, that this was merely a temporary setback.

Malice, Fury, and Mercy and Pride's father (Bloodline spoilers)

I've begun my Bloodline reread (finally!), and in the beginning of this book we learn a few things about these folks.

The first point is that while Malice and Fury both have the best interests of the Akura in mind, they don't like each other a whole lot and had a falling out at some point. Here are a couple of quotes:

“When are you leaving?” Mercy asked. “Now.” He said it so matter-of-factly, but to Mercy it was another heavy blow in a long string. “You mean…today? You’re not even going to wait until we get home?” Fury looked down on her sadly. “Well, tonight. I wish I could wait longer, but another Monarch staying in Cradle causes all sorts of problems. Especially now.” She blinked back tears to focus on the implications of what he said, but Pride asked the question she wanted to. “What does that mean?” “Mother will explain it to you.” Fury’s shoulders slumped and he gave a heavy sigh. “I wish I could, but I don’t want to fight with her before I leave. Don’t worry too much, though; it won’t be too long before you join me yourself, Pride. Herald, Sage, doesn’t matter. Even some Archlords make it out by their own power.”

“Did Mother…” Pride started speaking, but hesitated and visibly changed what he was about to say. “Is she going to come see you off?” Mercy knew what he had started to ask. Pride wanted to know if she had come to see him when he was on the verge of death. Fury answered the real question. “She would have come if we really needed her,” he said, though he didn’t sound very convincing. “Charity was plenty able to heal you. And Mother’s busy. There’s a Dreadgod, not to mention a bunch of dragons to kill.” He sighed wistfully. “At least I got to finish off Xorrus. What a nice going-away present.” “So she’s not going to see you off?” Mercy said. “We said our good-byes a long time ago.” Silence fell heavily over the room, and Mercy knew they were all thinking about their mother.

I wonder what happened that would make her not want to see he son ascend? Mercy and Pride seem to know what's up, but we don't. Also, earlier in the same conversation, Fury said something else rather interesting:

Fury reached out and placed a hand on each of them. “You know, I’d given up on my brothers and sisters until you two. Your father would be proud.” Pride and Mercy both stared at their oldest half-brother. He tended to wax sentimental even less often than his daughter. “Uncle Fury…” Mercy began. “…is everything all right?” “What? Yeah! Of course, yeah, everything’s fine!” His red eyes slid up to the ceiling. “But I am going away.”

What are your thoughts?

The first point is that while Malice and Fury both have the best interests of the Akura in mind, they don't like each other a whole lot and had a falling out at some point. Here are a couple of quotes:

But as days turned into months, and months into years, it became clear that magic was truly gone. Without magic, the world trembled. It was as if a vital lifeforce had been extinguished. The crops withered, the rivers ran dry, and the animals grew feeble. The balance that magic had maintained had been disrupted, and chaos reigned supreme. Society crumbled in the absence of magic. Governments and institutions that had relied on magical guidance descended into disarray. The wealthy and powerful, once adept at manipulating the arcane, now found themselves powerless and vulnerable. Desperation set in. People searched for answers, for a way to bring magic back. They scoured ancient texts and sought out wise sages and mystics who still remembered the whispers of magic. But all their efforts were in vain. In the absence of magic, humans had to learn to rely on their own ingenuity and resilience. They had to find new ways to solve problems, to heal the sick, and to defend themselves. Science and technology became their new allies, as they delved into the mysteries of the natural world in search of answers. Slowly, the world began to heal. It was not the same as before, but it was a new world, a world that had adapted to the absence of magic. Humans began to rebuild, to create new civilizations based on their own strengths and abilities. But still, there was a longing for magic. It was a part of their collective history, a symbol of the extraordinary potential that humans possessed. It was a reminder of what they had lost, and what they could never truly regain. And so, when magic failed, humanity had no choice but to forge ahead. They embraced the challenges that lay before them, knowing that even without magic, they still had the power to create their own destiny..
